how the conversation really went...
08/28/09
Her: "I judge potential mates by their cell phone apps. Hand it over."
Me: "I judge potential mates by how quickly they annoy me. This date is over."
Her: "What just happened?" staring at my vacant chair...

Dealbreaker? That sounds more like a windbreaker to me...

What kind of scurvy lubber be needin’ an app t’ be puttin’ down wenches like a buccaneer.
On my ship, we be insultin’ th’ whores ev’rytime we be puttin’ int’ port. It be like foreplay t’ them. Ev’ry sailor on me ship be knowin’ at least two score lines tha’ be bringin’ th’ wimmin t’ tears.
One time, I saw this portly lass who be cramm’d int’ a corset. I be lettin’ ou’ a yell, "Mr. Perkins. Ready the starboard gunports. Thar be galleon full o’ rendered blubber 3 points off th’ bow. Nay! Belay that arder - it jest be fattened jezebel. Grab me net. We kin be draggin’ her bloated corpse astern to be lurin’ th’ whalin’ vessels. She be fetchin’ a pretty farthin’ in Nantucket."
Arrgh. There not be ennythin’ better then unerminin’ the esteem of a lass. It be makin’ them easier t’ bed than a full coinpurse or an emptied flagon.

Well, first of all, "f***t" is spelled with two "g" letters in the middle, so you need one more placeholder star in there. Second, you're horning in on my territory.

That said, I apologize. I must admit that I too-easily forget that, as an extremely out gay guy living in an extremely out gay neighborhood (San Francisco's Castro district), the-word-that-shall-not-be-named... (which is bandied about here in routine, friendly and acceptable conversation) is not (yet) acceptable outside my particular geographic bubble. With that perspective in mind, again, please accept my apology.

Over the past few days, for whatever reason, I've learned that people here don't like me, whatever that's fine. I don't put huge amounts of thought into my comments and don't always "add" to the topic. Yes I don't always have full sentences and sometimes unconsciously write "u" or "n" But when did this website stop being fun?
Anyway, the main thing is I felt that this dislike that everyone is throwing at me was now translating into a hate kind of thing and that's fine too but I didn't want that hate be again affiliated with that word. I think you understand what I mean.

@cpthook: I laughed when I thought of it. I laughed when I wrote it. I laughed when I read it back. However, I didn't laugh when I got caught, however (arguably) slightly, with my political correctness pants down around my ankles.
As ThisIsSharks pointed out, "That word is NOT ok man. NOT OK." And, even though in certain contexts it certainly can be OK*, I can appreciate his objection to the implied word in this general context. Hey, just trying to be more sensitive here.
In any case, I did not interpret that Sharks' was objecting to my playful implication that his censored word meant he was calling himself "gay"; I interpreted that he was concerned that I had all-but-stated a specific word often recognized as offensive (again, within certain contexts). Fair argument.
All that said, I do appreciate the support you and others offered in my defense. And don't worry, this bitchy queen ain't goin' nowhere and I certainly ain't shutting up; Indeed, I've got plenty of other insults up my sleeve and will continue to hurl them at will. Thanks, over and out.

*And don't get me started on my whole "words only have hurtful power if we allow them to have that hurtful power" soapbox, that would be an entirely too-long discussion for here and beyond Gizmodo's scope.

plus, each one has a different user interface that's just as impossible to figure out as the last!
the hardware is mostly the same, but oy, the OS's aren't very well thought out.

uhhh he's a libertarian. Aka government regulated anarchist.

i was actually going to tell DeusExMach that Queen and Elton John are, shall we say, 'dainty' - As far as scott adams, well, more power to him, the world needs more libertarians.

What, you haven't found the button that turns women on yet????
03/10/09
Of all the mysteries about women, I know where the power button is.
03/10/09
03/10/09
isn't annoying how long you have to hold the power button to get em to turn OFF, though?
