We've done this before haven't we? Last time round I mentioned the "gaydar" which is the same thing for gay men. And now I've mentioned it again. I'm off to find a link. |
|
| |
I'll take UB and mcscotland's word as to what this is about, but I must confess I don't understand it at all. What's all this shit about cougars? |
|
| |
it rather reminds me of that television advert we have in the UK at the moment where the cat pisses into the drink which the chap in the nightclub has left on the table while he dances with the woman. Presumably inferring that she would have a more meaningful relationship with the cat than the guy with the bad haircut. (a cougar is a big cat, right?) |
|
| |
I guess a little poetic license can be a bad thing. |
|
| |
It's a device for when you're 'on the prowl' (hence the cougar reference). It goes off when you're in the presence of a similar device. Baked and HalfBaked. |
|
| |
phoenix... yes that's what I was thinking this was. Aren't there little Japanese-manufactured devices that do this? Where I tripped up was the (age-7)* 2 bit, which still doesn't make any sense to me. |
|
| |
sappho, might I inquire what possible product that ad could be advertising? Cats pissing in drinks...? |
|
| |
The (age-7)*2 bit is a shorthand formula for determining when someone is too young/old for you. Take the younger person's age, run it through the formula, and if it comes out less than the older person's age you're fine. For instance, I'm 24, so by the formula it's socially acceptable for me to hook up with people between 19 and 34 years of age. |
|
| |
i'm not sure, but i think "cougar" is a canadian thing. see my link for an explanation. |
|
| |
waugs: Haven't seen the ad (don't get to watch too much
television nowadays) but I think it could be for "Cat Food"
or probably lager.!! |
|

The term "Cougar" refers to an older, recently divorced
(or just plain old fashioned single), financially secure
woman who is out hunting for younger men to have brief,
sexual relations with. It is sometimes used in the
pejorative sense. Often, however, younger men are quite
interested one night stands with older, more
experienced women who know exactly what they want. |
|
| |
The whole idea about a "Cougar" is that they are not at all
interested in engaging in long-winded courtship rituals.
Hence the idea for Cougar Mate™ |
|
| |
I hadn't read about this "gaydar" half-baked idea, but yes,
it's basically the same thing I suppose. |
|
| |
This entire concept is really nothing earth-shattering
people - I know there is a similar device that was available
in Japan that beeped out loud once it came into
promximity of another person carrying the same device.
This is the same idea, but to me it seems better suited to
the Cougar crowd once you put the age formula into the
mix. If you're a female and you're above the (age-7)*2
ratio then you are a "Cougar." I tried to relate it in a
humorous, cheeky way. |

The last time I checked, this website was called
"halfbakery" and not "fullbakery." Well, jeepers, I'm going
off to the
nearest Cougar Bar and seek some solace for my bruised
ego. So long, and thanks for all the fishbones. |
|
| |
Thanks bliss, but don't worry I'm not off to do anything
else half-baked... Everything I say, I say with tongue
planted firmly in cheek. :) |
|
| |
Cool Older Unpartnered Gal Anti-Relationship sort of thing? or po - pissed off (altogether)? |
|
| |
Cougars are 1.5-3 m/yds in length. On a great day for a Cougar - they feed on deer. Rest of the time, it's much smaller animals. Lots of Cougars aka Puma aka Catamount aka Mountain Lions in California. Media calls them Mountain Lions when someone gets a mauling. |

Cell phones should be able to do this. Gps to be sure your in the same bar. Conference calling. Camera , lights, action. |
