I got stuck at this sentence and couldn't go on:

I'm drawing a blank here -- what's the male version of spinsteritis? |

Recently I've watched Spongebob a little too much and am looking forward to the movie. I have a crush on Squidward. I hope they don't fuck it up.

Playeritis.
I don't think there is a term for unmarried male that is equivalent to spinster. "Confirmed bachelor" is an outdated euphemism for gay, I believe.

The head David Hanson created, nicknamed "Vera" after his girlfriend, can be seen at the following web link, under the "Skin" section on the left side of the screen near the bottom.
Picture of Robotic head. Sailors rejoice.
Vera, she be ugly.

Especially if you were thinking about painting.
Fringey, I thought you were going to hire a hot guy to paint your place, ask him if he wanted to take his shirt off and offer him a Diet Coke?

As Justice Thomas noted, it's the downside of the MFM
Yet another disappoinment for fringey. The real Yahoo/AP headline: Court Steers Clear of Cockfighting Case (spree -- worksafe. go ahead and click, my imaginary friends -- it's Yahoo) |

It's the end of the world as we know it
The folks at The Digital Bits website posted yesterday to their Rumor Mill section a long list of Paramount titles that they said would arrive in the first half of 2005. They state that they "(got the)...information from both industry and retail sources. I want to emphasize that this is very tentative and is absolutely subject to change. Also none of the dates you're about to see are officially announced."
One of the titles they listed was The Brady Bunch - The Complete 1st Season, which their info showed would be out on March 1st, 2005. We told you that The Bradys would hit DVD in 2005, and in force, too! If Paramount's plans hold, then look for a Season 2 release in early June, and Season 3 set in late August, and a Season 4 release in mid-to-late November.

Likely cureholders have been known to utter the responsive verse from 3rd Madden, verse 16, namely "that is so hot!".***

* i.e. a sports bar or similar drinking establishment
** plaguing not implied if speaker happens to be a lesbian or is happy being a spinster
*** Hi, PLF!

Please be specific about which public venues I should be uttering these words in. Ideally, you would be abel to identify several in the Boston area. I am not a lesbian and would like to change my spinser status.
Yours,
Anne (sexy sports nut)
