TER General Board
This was the last batch in this color you liked...but I can check and see if Oprah will promote the other colors as part of her favorite things as well.
CincyGuy likes the white ones BTW 
Oh...and taylorsteele said to say HI...there, that's my shill for the day.
Never heard the term before, but I get what you mean after reading the post. I was the same as you in school, but can recall many many times when other students attempted such behaviors. You even reminded me of something my sister told me once. She had some friends in a few of her university classes, one of them was a well off Russian girl I believe. This girl was actually buying gifts for her professors before exams and major grades. According to her, this was actually standard practice where she was from.
I think I usually try to be reasonable when it comes to this type of behavior. I've come across two girls recently that are just absolute beauties. One of them is actually the provider I've been trying to book. (Looks like I have to wait till she's back in town 
). Anyway, I've told both of them that I think they're absolutely gorgeous. I just think it's a kind thing to do, and girls can always use a compliment once in a while. They always seem to be more stressed out about things than guys are. For me, to compliment them on their looks was never about seeking favors or anything. Hoping to put a smile on their face more than anything 
Of course, it's not to say I haven't done ANY ass kissing myself. I'm a webmaster currently specializing with adult themed websites, and I have done a fair bit of promotional work for a certain porn studio. I loved their girls, big fan of the content they produced, things were good. Of course, they received and still get a fair bit of negative comments on their forum and other places. I always tried to be reasonable when defending them, but obviously due to the fact that I am operating a website promoting their material, I'm always hesitant to post in a certain way. I try not to be too biased, but sometimes it was hard to help myself and I would engage in a bit of ass kissing or over defending some of their mistakes.
At least now there is a light in front of the tunnel
Never got a chance to do one of my teachers in school but I did drool over a couple of them, especially my sixth grade math teacher . She was hot and divorced .
We called guys that were teacher ass kissers , brown nosers . Some of them were flagrant .
When the basketball coach tried to recruit me for his team I told him I didn't need to play
basketball to pass his class , like his brown nose dribbling boys .
He hated me after that , I still passed , barely .
It doesn't bother me how guys reply to ad posts . I don't read them if I don't want to .
Do you become irritated when walking in the library because of all the books that don't interest you ?
Take a clue from me , keep it simple and care free when you can , skip whatever and whoever bores or irritates you the most .
If I see a ad post photo from a provider I've never seen , and her photo stimulates my eyes and libido much more than usual , I sometimes send her one complimentary PM .
It's rare , maybe two or three a year , but that's me , if someone else does things differently I don't care.
I recently sent a provider a compliment by PM on her backside ad photo .
If she received a hundred compliments on the board , in my opinion she deserved them all , but I wouldn't spend my time reading them all , especially if it irked me .
I might not read your posts if you weren't a Nat's fan , but I wouldn't call you a brown noser of any degree . Hooray Nat's
Fast Forward...10+ yrs after graduating from college, I am working and hobbying and still see these kind of people..
Provider posts AD on the AD board and they are drooling all over themselves - typing with one hand and wiping drool off their chin with another. I am not talking about a guy doing it on one off basis, but a handful of guys doing it consistently with the same girls..
Girls - Do you find this annoying, flattering, or just crossing the line..? Do girls really promote this kind of behavior by offering discounts? What gives..
Boys - I can talk about the boys I grew up with and hang around with.. We never liked the "schmoozer kind' in school, and I am sure there are enough guys on TER that find it extremely annoying..
I consider this as a thinly veiled shill. I am irked by this behavior. Not like Mr. Doo Doo was yesterday, but irked - nonetheless. Just trying to understand this from fellow mongers and the girls too - more so from the girls..

I will PM you tomorrow.. How about that?
I personally dislike brown-nosers & the like. It's dishonest & deceitful. Usually that person has an agenda and will con their way...instead of deserving the job position or support or whatever it is the schmoozer is after, he or she is rewarded for his/her ability to spin/flatter/lie/cheat those people in the path toward the goal/prize. It's really awful when the deceiver/low life ass kisser destroys people in & on their way.
Evidence is everywhere. I've always believed I should earn my rewards even if others don't have to. And one doesn't have to lie to pay a compliment to someone (the "mark" could be Gollum & I could honestly say, "I admire your persistence" -but you cannot have the ring I'm thinking lol) but what separates flattery from schmoozing is intent & truth.
Schmoozers lie & deceive and often try to cheat their way to their goal. They often leave a path of broken people in their wake, who realize how they helped the schmoozer get "one up". By then , it's usually too late. The brown noser has triumphed.
Competent people tend to "rest on their laurels" and flatter as a social grace if necessary, but don't lie, cheat, deceive or destroy to accomplish their goals. Their actions show they're deserving (of promotion, position, etc. ). Often overlooked, perhaps, buts that's because the one(s) who make the decisions usually prefer bullshit to bluntness (or are nincompoops themselves). But that's another story

Just kidding.
I getcha!
That's a joke. Get it?
Curly steals hounds food....
I hate when restaurants in ChiTown have that on the menu as lobster...showing "market price". That's total bullshit since it's only Gulf crawfish.
And the assholes here are willing to pay a premium for that shit.
Went for a tour last year in Boston on the USS Constitution and they babbled that the crew ate lobster as it was cheap and not a delicacy back then.
Best lobster is in Portland Maine...I sat on the wharf and watched them pull them out of the bay...ate them on the spot. And prices are reasonable. Last year in Boston went to Union..thought it would be good but the hype was better than the lobster. But the drinks and company made up for the lobster. Oh well...maybe later this year on my trip back to Boston.
Crawfish...whatever LOL
