Yes, but he's busy working on this "prospectus" with me.

Damn. All these rules about what verbs to use while fucking. It's so hard to keep them straight.

And earlier today I complimented the new hairstyle of a waitress at an establishment I regularly frequent for breakfast -- was this unacceptable flirting? (From the perspective of the waitress -- I know how my wife would react. Maybe I should ask if it was unacceptable from the perspective of the reasonable person standard. Yeah.)

As to the waitress, does it help my case that she knows from waiting on me several hundred times that I am a good tipper and a low-maintenance customer who does not usually leer?

Reason #8952 why I hate the Yankees.
 

Question for dtb, RP, and anyone else who cares:

Doesn't the comma in this sentence change the meaning 180 degrees? With the comma, it's a done deal. Without the comma, it is by no means a done deal. Or is this just my problem?

I clicked on the link so I am fully clear now (and thankful for) what TM was trying to say.

I hope you jumped rope naked in front of the mirror in celebration of such a blessed event.

Unless you looking at her tits/ass/legs while complimenting her haircut, why are you worried?

Like most Article III judges, he wasn't a tool at first, but Being Pedro has had a corrosive effect on him.

More of Pedro's thoughts about Schilling, courtesy of Dan Shaughnessy:

• A New York reporter, who wanted to know if Pedro would arrive late and leave early the way he did in Boston, cited remarks by Schilling, telling Pedro, "Schilling said this week that you got preferential treatment in Boston."
  
  Pedro snapped back, "Well, first of all, Schilling is not on my program. Schilling doesn't run an hour. Schilling didn't do rehab in 2001 for what I did. I have a very strict way of working. It takes a lot more time than people think. I know why you brought up the question, it's probably because of Game 6 in New York . . . The only reason I stayed in Boston for Game 6 is that Curt Schilling was doubtful for the next game and I had to actually stand up and pitch if Derek Lowe wasn't able to make it . . . Whatever Schilling has to say, he can say it. I don't have anything to say about that. He only knows me for one season. He doesn't know what I'm about and how I work. He doesn't even show up in my work regimen."
  
  There. That should put to rest that unfounded rumor that Pedro was jealous of Schilling.

In reverse order: pitching in Fenway won't help your stats very much (especially if you are a fly-ball pitcher -- outs in most ballparks are doubles to left in Fenway); Kapler is playing in Japan; and it's all about the Benjamins, baby -- they want to cash in while they can. Derek Lowe made himself an extra $10 million by pitching one good game after a shitty season. Strike while the iron is hot.

It was a very large tattoo between his navel and his pelvis in red script, and I'm blanking on what it said. I was too busy concentrating on his beautiful, beautiful torso.

I don't think his boyfriend likes it very much.

Oder?

It means "or" in German.
