Do you get the feeling Jezzie is just trying to stir the pot a bit by crossposting to Jalopnik a whole bunch today? I'm not sure how we're expected to respond to that one. Do you want us to come stampeding in like hooligans, with cries of "Hello, ladies! How YOU doin'?"
Perhaps references to "showing you our trailers"?
Look! They mentioned vehicles! Jalopnik will know all about those!
Okay, I'll play along. "Hello, ladies! How YOU doin'?"
@hortense: Well, first attempt at posting this was eaten by the server hamsters, (ours is called "Nibbles"... what's yours called?) so let's try again.
Every guy has "that friend", who insists on one-upping you at every opportunity. You tell him your new car has 350 horsepower, his has 450. You tell him you drank 12 beers last night, he drank 20.
I've been out on a few "Girls' Nights Out" now (still not sure if that's a compliment or not), which is a fascinating experience for a guy to be a part of. I have yet to see the female equivalent. Is it out there? Does it exist? I'm having a very hard time imagining the female equivalent of a "pissing match".
@A strolling player: The question is, is hortense as bald and sexy as Pete is?
@Penelope Lane: That I have seen, never really made the "pissing match" connection there, but I think you're right, that is a feminine equivalent. When I think about it, though, I suppose an even closer analogy exists... women just tend to be more subtle about it. "Why Anna, I love your new bag?" "What? This old thing? It's nothing, my husband picked it up for me at Louis Vuitton. He spent FAR too much on it."
Sorry, I know that sounds stereotypical, but when talking about catty superficiality, it's hard to avoid stereotypes, either male or female.
@.threefiveseven: @Deartháir: Oh, really, what's your comment moderator version? 'cause our comment moderator is a series 5.1 pro-series unreleased version, signature version. She can moderate at least 250 comments a minute. The CIA uses her. :P

(Not like that, get your mind out of the gutter.)
