I don't really understand what that means, but I'm sure it is more evidence of my beloved stature as an oldskool icon. sts.

That almost works, thank you.

And RP, women over 30 don't have sex, they make love. Don't you watch Lifetime? Of course, we need our Alvimil and warming K-Y jelly to get there, but we do. Then we cuddle.

Based upon my viewing of Lifetime, they make love not wisely, but well. While dying. Or with a philandering and/or boorishly abusive husband played by Michael Nouri.

Well what else is he going to do? He hasn't had a career since Flashdance has he?

In fairness to the assholes of the greater Philadelphia metropolitan area (hi Gwynedd!), you wouldn't seem to have much experience with the fans of the senior circuit.

Well, Philly's NL, so I don't really have a lot of experience, especially since I don't really go to Ravens games much and try to avoid downtown when they're playing (it's impractical to do the same with the Orioles).

So yeah, Philly may suck worse, but not so I'd notice.

Next time your in Baltimore for a game, and you look down at the ground and think to yourself, hmmm, "I wonder why I'm standing, just standing, in the middle of this street that turns into an Interstate in five feet and not on the sidewalk?" and then you look up to see an E Class barreling down the street that you're standing in the middle of scratching your ass, and you wonder to yourself, "I wonder why that guy isn't stopping, since I'm standing in the middle of the street?" and the car doesn't stop, but instead mows you down, that'll be me.

For the weekend salute, Colin Powell will lead us in a rousing rendition of YMCA:

followed by Bill Cosby addressing the audience:

"Let me tell you something, your dirty laundry gets out of school at 2:30 every day, it's cursing and calling each other n------ as they're walking up and down the street," Cosby said during an appearance at the Rainbow/PUSH Coalition & Citizenship Education Fund's annual conference.

"They think they're hip," the entertainer said. "They can't read; they can't write. They're laughing and giggling, and they're going nowhere."

In his remarks in May at a commemoration of the anniversary of the Brown v. Board of Education desegregation decision, Cosby denounced some blacks' grammar and said those who commit crimes and wind up behind bars "are not political prisoners."

"I can't even talk the way these people talk, 'Why you ain't,' 'Where you is' ... and I blamed the kid until I heard the mother talk," Cosby said then. "And then I heard the father talk ... Everybody knows it's important to speak English except these knuckleheads. You can't be a doctor with that kind of crap coming out of your mouth."

Cosby elaborated Thursday on his previous comments in a talk interrupted several times by applause. He castigated some blacks, saying that they cannot simply blame whites for problems such as teen pregnancy and high school dropout rates.

"For me there is a time ... when we have to turn the mirror around," he said. "Because for me it is almost analgesic to talk about what the white man is doing against us. And it keeps a person frozen in their seat, it keeps you frozen in your hole you're sitting in."

Cosby lamented that the racial slurs once used by those who lynched blacks are now a favorite expression of black children. And he blamed parents.

"When you put on a record and that record is yelling `n----- this and n----- that' and you've got your little 6-year-old, 7-year-old sitting in the back seat of the car, those children hear that," he said.

He also condemned black men who missed out on opportunities and are now angry about their lives.

"You've got to stop beating up your women because you can't find a job, because you didn't want to get an education and now you're (earning) minimum wage," Cosby said. "You should have thought more of yourself when you were in high school, when you had an opportunity."

Cosby appeared Thursday with the Rev. Jesse Jackson, founder and president of the education fund, who defended the entertainer's statements.

"Bill is saying let's fight the right fight, let's level the playing field," Jackson said. "Drunk people can't do that. Illiterate people can't do that."

Cosby also said many young people are failing to honor the sacrifices made by those who struggled and died during the civil rights movement.

"Dogs, water hoses that tear the bark off trees, Emmett Till," he said, naming the black youth who was tortured and murdered in Mississippi in 1955, allegedly for whistling at a white woman. "And you're going to tell me you're going to drop out of school? You're going to tell me you're going to steal from a store?"

Amen. http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/articl...806EDT0693.DTL

Or with the son of their best friend, played by the guy who played David Silver in 90210. Yum.

I have to say, before I was 30, I was unable to get myself to come, touch-free, while sitting in my office.

But I may just be a slow learner. I think gwnc kicks my ass on this.

I heard that the Philly fans in Boston were pretty loud last week when the Phillies played the Red Sox.

Likewise, I heard that the Yankees fans in San Francisco were pretty loud last week when the Red Sox played the Giants.

That doesn't count. You people are always loud. It seems to accompany the obnoxious accent.

I was referring to the noise they made, not their garish attire.

In other news, here's a nudist Judas Priest cover band called -- of course -- Nudist Priest:
