Answers to all your questions about why the pisco sour is the drink of 2003 - I actually ran across this doing work-related research.

Does anybody else find the tone of that web site a mite familiar? Is PLF moonlighting?

Positively creepy. The condescending tone, the insults...all very familiar indeed.

Ok - Now I am worried. I think that would be way too much of a coincidence, but I am going to delete my original post just in case. I just thought it was funny, but perhaps there is only one person out there advocating the pisco sour summer of 2003.

Two littermates I know had this problem when one got taken to the vet and the sib stayed home. Owner now takes both to vet whether or not doc actually examines both. Problem solved.

I'm more partial to the times when we go away for vacation and the doggie gets to go to the pet hotel for a few days whilst kitty gets total control and ownership over the house. Upon return from the pet hotel, doggie is not looked upon fondly by kitty who then proceeds to bite doggie's long, floppy ears.

All is not well in the minutes that follow.

That's what you get for sending doggy to the oh-so-euphemistically named "pet hotel." I hope you feel guilty. Does doggy at least get dibs on the bed when you return?

I thought it was pretty ironic.

Okay, I know this is so six months ago, but if anyone is interested in seeing pictures of Ryan from the Bachelorette, circa 1987, PM me. He was an exceedingly cute eighth-grader.

There are at least four.

Five, if Not Bob was convinced.

Stop trying to take credit for someone else's work.

How do you expect Connect the Dots to feel?

Oh, I was convinced, but Doris next door at the Dew Drop Inn laughed at me when I tried to order one the other day. She said that drinking establishments in small towns in the Red States weren't allowed to serve them until 2005. Big Ed said that he tried to get an earlier date for us, but was told that the presence of Podunkville Community College didn't qualify us under the "college town" exemption.

edited to add that it's refreshing to see Rebecca Gayheart in a role where she' supposed to be acting like a corpse.

Is it only a coincidence that Rebecca Gayheart is acting in a show about grim reapers when she herself has had experience?

The Smoking Gun doesn't have the incident in their achives, but imdb.org lists details about Ms. Gayheart's conviction for misdemeanor vehicular manslaughter here.

Is there ever enough plagiarism?

ROSWELL, N.M. -- The sports editor of the Roswell Daily Record has been fired for fabricating part of a news story about a golf tournament in which he quoted a fictional character from the movie "Caddyshack."

Gregory M. Jones was dismissed by the Daily Record on June 17, the day after his article about a Father's Day golf tournament at the Roswell Country Club appeared on the sports page, editor Mike Bush said.

"He got a bunch of scores and wanted to make it more interesting," Bush said Thursday.
He said the newspaper insists on accuracy and objectivity and "we don't tolerate anything less than that."

Jones, 24, said he was shocked by his firing and did not intend to deceive his editors or readers.

"It was tongue-in-cheek. It was sports. I was trying to be light and breezy. I was trying to put out a story that people might like to read," he said in a telephone interview. (That quote reminds me of a story line in Friends where Monica was trying to sound "Light and Breezy" by saying so.)

Bush said the story contained three fictitious paragraphs referring to a "Carl Spangler" who claimed to work at the course. In "Caddyshack," Bill Murray played a golf course worker named Carl Spackler.

Jones quoted "Spangler" as saying he invented a new kind of grass for the tournament. The quotation in Jones' story is taken directly from "Caddyshack."

" 'This is a hybrid ... of bluegrass, Kentucky bluegrass, featherbed bent and northern California sensemilia (sic),' " Spangler said. " 'The amazing stuff about this, is that you can play 36 holes on it in the afternoon, take it home and just get stoned to the bejeezus-belt that night on the stuff.' "
