From my inbox: Whatever you give a woman, she will make greater. If you give her sperm, she'll give you a baby. If you give her a house, she'll give you a home. If you give her groceries, she'll give you a meal.. If you give her a smile, she'll give you her heart. She multiplies and enlarges what is given to her. So, if you give her any crap, be...
Such the philosopher. Um, you didn't take your wife to China did you? - Rick Emery
From the great philosopher Leo ! - Chris Ames
It seems Leo got this in his E-mail. - Brent - Loving Life
Heard this from a customer the other day, but he ended it, "So don't giver her any crap." It's funnier that way. - Jeremiah Green
In my house you have to give me the groceries to get a meal, but you can give my wife flour and sugar and she'll give you back bliss in a cookie. - dthree
How true, and how soon us men forget... - Sean Higgins
Give the greats a sad song, they'll make it better - won't bore people w/my list - heretic_twit
If I give her a shirt will she iron it? *ducks* - MVB (Grinch of FF) from iPod
I'll give her the sperm and let the government pay for the baby like all the homies do in compton. - John Hillestad
"when the leaf falls, the tree trembles" - remember Neda from Iran - heretic_twit
If you give her your wallet, it will become full....... (not with money, but with bills) *ducks* - Sudar
How true! I just gave a bad answer and got back the Hell. - Opensource Obscure
Too True! - Lillian Banchik from twhirl
I love it. Sent it to my girlfriend. I know she is going to agree. - Parvez Halim
I am a woman ..... trying to give me some money and see what happens FIUUU! FIUUU! :-) - pallina60 Loon
First comes the Wedding Ring then comes the Suffer-Ring ;-) - Richard Bitting
@pallina60Loon LOL a massive exception to the rule - Parvez Halim
@pallina60loon not an exception, still the rule. When a man gives a woman money, that is a small debt, which the woman "then multiples and enlarges what is given to her" :) - ıɯoʎıʞ & uǝʞ
@ Parvez Halim: I do not think is exceptional. People prefer to think that the woman is sweet and helpful. Sometimes it is not so - pallina60 Loon
@ ❦ ❦ Kiyomi & Ken: I have not talked to repay the money :-) - pallina60 Loon
@Richard Bitting: LOL - pallina60 Loon
um... - Liz Dorland
Someone please create a male counterpoint! - ZuDfunck
For ZuDfunck: Whatever you give a man, he will make less. If you give him a musical instrument, he'll pawn it. If you give him a house, soon you will be homeless. If you give him groceries, he'll give you a mess.. If you give him a smile, he'll give you a grope. He reduces and diminishes what is given to him. - MVB (Grinch of FF)
When did you start 'reading' your mail Leo? I had a lot to write to you for years but couldn't find a way to reach you. I didn't bother writing an e-mail since you repeatedly mentioned that you didn't read them at all :) - M. Serdar Kuzuloglu from Android
MVB: Dude! That was Cold. - ZuDfunck

Am I the only one who thinks this quote is a bit male chauvinistic? The quote has a wrapper that appears to make women look great but underneath, it stereotypes women as a typical "wife" in a submissive male chauvinistic system. Again, my 2 cents based on a cursory reading on a hectic day. - Krishnan Subramanian
Good point. Groceries and meal are chauvinistic, among others. Sorry, but the theme had good intent. - Dan Barber
Too good - Anand Sharma

I am watching CNN and seeing bad employment numbers from US auto industry. Interesting, though, here in China US brands, like Buick, are very popular.
That's refreshing. US Autos need some good news (especially here in Detroit), regardless where it is coming from - Ken Burbary
Toyota own's here in Uganda, American cars are very hard to find. - Jon Gosier from feedalizr
It's likely that in China US brands are popular because they're an import and therefore a status symbol. - FFing Enigma (aka Tina)
US brands like Buick are actually made in China. They're popular because historically before China was communist, Buick was a very popular brand. So when GM entered the market in the 90s, they thought they'd begin by bringing a well recognized brand back. It worked. Became status symbol for all government officials and wealthy folks. Now they're introducing other GM lines like Cadillac etc. - Christine Lu
Very cool, Christine =) - FFing Enigma (aka Tina)
Interesting about the Buick "brand's" adoption. When I visited (Guangzhou) China in 1987, Mercedes seemed to be the popular auto (and truck) there (aside from waves of bicycles). - Jim Courtney
Buick seemed very popular 2+ years ago, when it was primarily the only car on the road, but now don't see it that often in Shenzhen or Songjiang. (there are few re-branded cars there sold as Buicks, like the Suzuki) Buicks in the US use Chinese engines, but the cars I think are made in the US(though it is cheaper to replace the whole engine nowadays then to fix parts). You will notice slight refinement differnces; such as how much better a German VW is made VS a Shanghai VW. - clarke thomas
I read an article, I'm pretty sure it was about Buick, how they designed a model in a Chinese design shop specifically to appeal to the Chinese market. - mikepk
And at Ford, we've seen profitable results this quarter in South America and Europe, where the Blue Oval is particularly popular. - Scott Monty
All the western brands are majority-owned joint-ventures by Chinese. Mercedes is still the most prestigious brand for government officials, and Audi for the richest in China. - Joshua Allen
@Christine Lu: That's very interesting. Though I did guess they were produced in China. I wonder if there is ANY real goods import from the US to China. - Amit Morson
"There were some bright spots around the globe for GM. It saw a solid 4.3% jump in sales in China, even as industrywide sales there declined, allowing it to pick up market share. China has become an increasingly important market for GM, one which accounts for more than one in ten vehicles it sells worldwide." - http://money.cnn.com/2008... - Steve Wilhelm
Buicks rock. My Buick set on Flickr: http://www.flickr.com/photos... - Thomas Hawk
the auto industry has been have problems for a long long time, just ask anyone who lives in the state of Michigan which has been in a one-state recession for almost 5 years - Jonathan Jesse
The problem is that money is sitting offshore. Corporations aren't going to bring it back into the US just to lose 35% to taxes. - Chris Mayer
Agreed, Chris. That's why potential auto manuf. bailouts are disgusting to me. They made their beds by just moving junk metal and pumping up stock returns, instead of focusing on making a good product matching customer desires and making profits through customer satisfaction. Hope China can learn lessons from us. - Kevin Leroux
I don't know if its wise to save the big three. Capitalism is about renewing the old and I cant see Ford, GM, and Jeep changing anytime soon. What if we let them fail. Doesn't that give companies like Tesla a real chance of changing cars in this country? - Erik Weese
president-elect obama will bail out the big three, think about he has massive support from the unions and also has governor granholm (of michiga) on his economic transition team. we definitely see an economic bailout for the big 3. also i doubt very little limits on these companies as any more would put even more constraints on them and more job loss/facotry closure, less union employees, etc - Jonathan Jesse
Erik... are you saying if we lose Ford GM and Jeep then we'll all be able to afford Tesla cars? How's that work, exactly? - Michael Markman
Well, American brands are actually quite popular overseas. People actually consider it a.. mark of wealth of sorts, if that makes any sense. In some countries, anyway. Which is a good thing for us, of course. Whatever little help we can get, we probably could use. Also, by what I heard on CNN last night, it sounds like Ford doesn't need a bailout as much as GM does. - deepikaur
Yes, Ford seems to be better positioned. GM has been having issues for quite a while; years. I really do not think Chrysler learned from their last bailout round and that bothers me. - Robert Miller

That was amazing. - Aaron L. M. Goodwin from twhirl
Seriously, the best vignette in the entire movie. I loved have GZA and RZA called him by his whole name. The second best scene was Steve Coogan and Alfred Molina.. Most pointless one, was the White Stripes one. - Admiral Anika
RZA is unbelievable. My boss knows RZA and I've met him a few times for work stuff. He'd die if I told you he was way into being a suburban dad. Oops! - Derrick
I know Derrick. One of my friends worked a junket with him and she said they would sit there talking recipes and child-rearing. - Admiral Anika

SkyMall catalogs crack me up, but yet I still considering buying things from it everytime I flip through. Like this blanket with arm holes!

"PandoraFM is simple. As you listen to music via the excellent Pandora music service each song gets submitted to your profile on Last.FM. You're listening to music, so why shouldn't you be able to account for it? Some call it a mash-up, others call it a hack. I call it Pandora.FM" - Live4Emma (L4S) from Bookmarklet
