I know the Germans are saying this wasn't deliberate. But well done on their Winter Olympics outfits:

I think I can hear Putin cutting off the gas as we speak.

  A few years back I remember starting a poll on Languish asking what people would do if someone walked up to them on the street and asked for sex.  At the time I think some folks were like "LOL like this would ever happen".

A little over 10 years ago I made a 7-11 run to get some beer & movie snacks for the wife's & my movie night.  On my way out of the 7-11, an attractive light-skinned black girl asked me if I would come back to her place because she and a female friend had been watching a porno and they "wanted to try something".  I thanked her for the offer but said I had other plans that evening. 

As I was getting in the car she yelled "Are you sure?? It's nothing sexual!"

Most men would, in reality, not accept an overt sexual proposition from an attractive total stranger on the street, because they would be thinking it was: (a) a prostitute soliciting business; (b) a crazy person; (c) some sort of scam or mugging being set up; or (d) some mixture of the above.

Murder is not always sexual.

True. The proposition should be implicit.

Same goes for women, in my experience.

It's possible your experiment wasn't set up properly.

Actually wasn't there that youtube video recently where they had an attractive guy go up to women for sex and then likewise and attractive woman?

As I cycled home today I was stopped by a woman asking if I could help her. This being Denmark I didn't expect to be robbed so I stopped and said: "Yeah?". I certainly wasn't expecting her follow up.

"Will you.. fuck me?" I was momentarily stunned, I mean, it was that sort of neighbourhood, but she didn't look Eastern European or Nigerian. Or could she simply be a direct kinda gal?

"Will you fuck my ass?" I cycled off shaking my head as response and in disbelief.

"Well, fuck you!" People have no manners these days.

The will you fuck me meh, typical prostitute.
But the ass part?

Some people pay more for ass.

Ugh.  Just sat through an excruciating meeting about how our Canadian parent company is rebranding us with their logo.  Could have taken 5 minutes but they had to go on & on about synergy and customer focus and other BS.

One of the marketing dudes who spoke sounded like he was saying "ghouls" instead of "goals", so I made it a point to hear it as "ghouls".  My main takeaway from his spiel was that we should each have a personal ghoul to ensure client satisfaction

Sounds like they are Vampire: the Masquerade players.

Well not 250lbs.  That's gross.  How about 150.

Well that depends, how tall is the 250lbs women? That's important.

9'7", maybe.
