I like the way your avatar helps show that you're driving the point home.

Things I learned today

(1) Thurgreed and I are apparently the same person.

(2) Hank has a daughter old enough to leer at basketball players.

(3) Alanis's former boyfriend was not Felix Potvin or Joey from Full House -- it was Mr. Man (see ncs's mom-like post, sending fringey and wonk to their respective rooms).

(4) People intentionally leave books at the airport for other travelers -- I thought that this sort of thing was limited to copies of the boring sections of USA Today and the Wall Street Journal.

You didn't learn anything new about Rasputin's penis?

You can if you want, but someone will probably mention that the San Francisco Chronicle is not technically a blog.

You should use the term "timmy" so people won't think you're a newber.

This is not really consistent with the original story either. I think the guy just made it up.

Poor Rasputin. His shrinkage is out in the open for everyone to see.

Agreed; I too noticed the inconsistency when I read the article. Sloppy drafting; opposing counsel will definitely rip him apart.

(I thought about using "timmy", but didn't want to look like I was trying too hard to be cool with all the oldskool lingo, etc. Plus, as noted above, I have a gun, so I bet you'll be OK with "nitpicky" - won't you? Yep, thought so.)

I was going to suggest that, but I was a little embarrassed that I've had my iPod for many months and have never bothered to use the random thingy.

1. I don't care how many orgasms a woman can have in a row, Wonk can't give her two without resting in between.* So, I think you've misread the intent of my response. I wasn't implying that his orgasms were the only ones that count.

2. Even if I was and that made me "phallo-centric," I don't see what the hell that has to do with narcissism.

3. But, if I am indeed a phallo-centric narcissist, you're automatically in the figurative Land of Fu anyway and therefore, it is as if you never said it or anything else. Right?

* And if you think anyone sleeping with Wonk is going to have multiple orgasms in a short time span, you might as well send yourself to the Land of Fu.

Isn't there a SF ordinance making that mandatory?

Leaving Books Lying Around

If you're going to leave books (or pick up ones that have been left), you should consider going here to register them first.
