I did not indicate that. I indicated that it would be fruitless for me to hazard a guess as to her true hair color based on p.h. color, as there is nary one p.h. to be found in the tri-state area.

Oh. Wishful inference, I guess. Maybe she willl confirm on the playdate?

You did indicate that she has no pubic hair, it's just that the reason you believe she has none does not imply any intimacy. Much to the disappointment of hbm.

I did indicate that it is my belief that she would be shorn, as are the rest of the inhabitants of NYC and its environs.

You are correct, sir.

This is based on my experiences with my former neighbor who homeschooled her kids and was a whack job and my interaction with my father's pilot's wife, who homeschools their kids and is a whack job.

Can your father's pilot pick up me and Less at SFO on your way to Vegas for the BarelyMarried party?

and can we make a quick stop in Bolivia on the way?

It is nice to hear that the folks back home are keeping the faith.

Maybe this belongs on the parents board, but what do y'all think of this...

We have decamped to a leafy glen for the summer, and before we left the hustle and bustle of TCOTU, I told my eldest boy that he had to pack and bring whatever gameboy etc. crap he wanted -- that it was his responsibility, and I reminded him what that meant -- i.e, the chargers, the games, whatever accoutrements go with the outrage that is electronic gaming.

So, upon reaching the leafy glade we call home for the summer, we learn that he's got the games and the little machines, but he's forgotten the chargers. Needless to day, a few days in, and no more electronic games.

There is an alternative -- his father can round up and bring the chargers, etc. on his next visit -- but should he???

Should I make him suffer the consequences of his inattention to detail? (FD: I hate those damned things -- I'd like him never to play them again, but he really does like that stuff, and it's a real ice-breaker with other 9-year-olds.) Or do I allow his dad to bring them up, to be put behind glass with a little hammer that says "Break only in case of emergency" (and forget to mention to the boy that emergency provisions are at hand)?

What say you, o wise chatboard readers?

(a) What does "FD" mean?

(2) Cut the kid a little slack. Make him sweat, but allow dad to bring the chargers. Of course, this is perhaps influenced by the fact that I've forgotten my blackberry charger so often on trips that I now have four of them. No, I am not kidding.

(iii) I know that she did not play Elizabeth Bennet, but I have to admit that I was initially thinking that you had met Kate Winslet. C'est la vie.

Correction. That's the Las Vegas Sonics.

I'm OK with Durant. I just really wanted Oden.

Jeff Green went #5? Cool. Hope he works out well for your team, wherever they may reside, NFH.

There was a USA Today graph on this a while back. Homeschoolers break down pretty much like this:

Right wing Christian nutjobs: 50%
Paranoid nutjobs: 25%
"Stage Mom" nutjobs: 20%
Druggie nutjobs: 20%
Hyper-Athletic nutjobs: 15%
Gun nut-jobs: 15%
Nazi nut-jobs: 15%
Athiest nut-jobs: 15%
Left wing Christian nutjobs: 15%
Wacko apolitical religious nutjobs 15%
Quirky academic nutjobs: 15%
Spelling bee kids: 10%
Buddhist, New Age and assorted other
lefty non-Christian religious nutjobs: 10%
Communist nut-jobs 10%
Assorted other nutjobs: 97%
Totally normal: *


As you can see, there is an asterisk for the totally normals, which there are, proportionately, about as many normal homeschoolers as there are Ron Paul supporters. However, on the average, every home school kid and parent is approximately 3.5 kinds of nutjob.

accepting your numbers only makes clear that liberal extremists control our public schools so they send their kids in.

Boston curse. That has to be the worse decision I've heard since, well, Darko? Ty, make Parrish apologize to Laimbeer.

Do you mean drafting Green, or trading him to Seattle along with Wally Szckzerrbyiacck and Delonte West for Ray Allen and a second-round pick?

I just saw her on the Tony Awards show. She was nominated for something but didn't win.

Could have been worse (Yi). And they moved Wally's contract.

I'm crushed. Like the day I lost my Gary Payton. But for Gary, we got Ray in return. This Jeff Green guy better be worth the loss of my RayRay.

At least he (Ray) spent the last 2 years injured a lot. And it's not like giving away a Jason Richardson. Who's idea was that?
