Strange , but true. It's a random collection of professional portraits from the 70s and 80s (of now much older partners), recent professional portraits of assocates willing set up an appointment and go somewhere and pay to have one taken, Greek system photos, passport photos, and the occasional Glamour Shot.

(38-year-old man who had sex in church on radio dies)

So I gather all that priestly yapping about sex being "a spiritual gift from God" and "a holy union of souls" is just a bunch of crap, if you're going to be stricken down for it?

Let's get the rules straight, please, so well-meaning people like this gentleman have a heads-up about the consequences.

All I'm sayin is, be careful what you wish for. You mess with the bull, you'll get the horns.

A guy who knows how to live a little

Colin Farrell on his former wild ways, which he says are not entirely dissimilar to his current wild ways: "I ended up on a shrink's couch, and he told me to write down how much I did in a week -- 20 [tabs of Ecstasy], 4 grams of coke, 6 of speed, half an ounce of hash, three bottles of Jack Daniel's, 12 bottles of red wine, 60 pints. And 40 [cigarettes] a day. He looked at me and said, 'Do you wonder you're depressed?'"

Seems to me he'd be dehydrated too. Or else he needs to add 300 bottles water to the list.

Did you just call me Coltrane?

Puffy to run NYC marathon

He's been training for 3 weeks. Race is in 4 weeks. Just wonderful, I can already see the bad press distance running is going to get because he ends up injured or in extreme pain. A high profile opportunity to convince a whole generation of potential runners that the pain of running isn't worth it.

And he'll get more press finishing in 6 hours than the winner does.

"JRUSS" is the acronym for the moniker "Janet Reno's Ugly Step-Sister." "JFUCK" is one of paigow's many names for him. Because of his posts about his love for swing, the lindy, etc., he is also occasionally referred to as "Dancing Boy."

He was a poster on the Infirmation boards (or did he make the move over here? I dunno), and he and paigow did not get along. Many of their spats were on the DC Board, I think, so I didn't see all of them.

Anyhow, in answering your question, the important thing to remember is that being called a JRUSS sock by paigow is an insult of the highest degree.

Um, Not Bob? He clearly made it over here with about eighteen of his socks. Why are you talking to one of them?

Honey, chill.

The guy is not getting off his sofa to run it. He's actually in decent shape and got in through the lottery.

Besides, everyone already knows the pain of running isn't worth it.

Paging DS and Grinchy: Etiquette Q

So, what would Miss Manners recommend one do when one encounters people whose behavior one thinks has been completely unacceptable? Is there a modern version of "the cut direct" or at least something that would appear on the surface as polite but convey the message that someone's behavior is not condoned?

I am nearly positive my input was not requested, but I question why you feel the need to convey this message since you rarely interact with any of the parties. If you were their mother, sister, daughter, or close friend, it might make sense to make your feelings known. But they likely realize that what they did is not real popular. They likely don't need to have it hammered home that you side with majority. They went about it the wrong way, but if they are happy now, that is likely all they care about.

Who said he got in via sponsor?

He said he's been training for three weeks. Has he secretly been training longer? That's nearly enough. Not even for Penske.

There is virtually no pain if you train properly (only delusions and semi-consciousness).

If, by chance, he does well, then that's great. Hopefully he can inspire these fat young kids to get off their butts. Unfortunately, I've seen too many underprepared people fail miserably to think that will happen.

And I'd still rather the focus be on KK, Tergat, Geb and now I realize that no one knows who the hell I'm talking about, which is my point...
