You can end your sentences with a preposition and it's perfectly correct. The only reason the English language ever went in another direction is because at some point, some people (connected to the royal family, I think) decided that English should follow the norms of Latin and German - where the words always go in the same places in a sentence every time. So it became en vogue to construct English sentences like German and Latin. But it was never incorrect. Just unfashionable among some pretentious twits who were probably ugly and had rotten sex lives so they had nothing better to think about. English is English. Put your prepositions anywhere you want.

(this is not a slam on people who like grammar. I like grammar. I don't like pretentiousness though)

Yes, that's the same ass twice. You have to admit though, that the first one is a really flat ass.

It is a flat ass, but the second picture, the tops of the thighs are bigger. Not sure I'd be willing to make that tradeoff.

I think you just hate being obsessed about grammar. OCD's a bitch.

Correct. He was originally Dr. Richard Raskin, an ophthalmologist. One of my *friends* from high school swears that her father was his roommate in undergraduate at Yale. I doubt that since she lied about everything else.

This makes me wonder ... (so Carrie Bradshaw) ...

Does everyone have some compulsive liar *friend* in his/her past?

I had a friend in college who lied all the time. About stupid stuff. I think just to see if she could get away with it. [Well, in fairness, she was also very depressed and completely undiagnosed.] She eventually dropped out of school after she had alienated all of her friends (one of the things she was lying about was whether or not she was showing up to take tests in her classes). A quick Google search indicates that she went to UK (Kentucky, not England), joined a band there and got married while on air to a dj at the college radio station there. Gotta love the internet.

The model had a normal ass. But I agree with LTL - the underwear does her no favors. You can't see the full contures because the underwear covers too much.

The thigh surgery is nice. I know a chick who got it because she wanted to have a space between her thighs when she closed her legs. I never thought too much about that little diamond shaped space (for a picture, do an Amazon search on Fatboy Slim's cds - one of them has the sun shining through the diamond shaped space on the cover), but after focusing on it, I thought, "Hmmm, that's pretty hot."

Although the *friend* in my initial post qualifies as a compulsive liar, she really doesn't qualify as a friend. She pathetically clung to people on the fringes of my social group in a desperate attempt to have friends -- she was too uncool to be a part of my woefully uncool clique. None of us kept in touch with her after graduation. I don't even google her name to find out her current whereabouts.

In answer to the poll, when I was in law school I had a few dates with this really handsome (albeit short -- NTTAWWT) guy. The sex was amazing and he had many socially connected friends. He talked about how prominant his family was, seemed to have plenty of money, shared a beautiful apartment, and talked about going to graduate school (he was working for a caterer while trying to "find" himself). It turns out he was a complete liar. He was from a lower-middle-class family (again, NTTAWWT), practically broke and had no ambition other than to "marry well." Once I really looked past the sex, I also realized he was just plain stoopid.

Months after we stopped seeing each other I ran into him at one of the bars, raging drunk. He lamented the demise of our relationship (little as it was), saying I was the best thing that happend in his life. I didn't say anything except "goodbye," turned away, and walked out the door. I have no idea what happened to him. I never saw him after that and didn't care enough to ask around.

My elevator told me today that Elle Macpherson, not Heidi Klum (as someone on this board said a while back) was known as "the body". Is my elevator lying to me?

I know that I have heard that before (although I cannot specifically recall when and where).

I used to work with someone who lied constantly. Tall stories. You could tell one was coming because he would preface it with, "no shit." He clearly had some much deeper psychological problem, but I really didn't care to go in there.

I heard he switched teams and became a Kentucky dj.

Gack! But never fear. It is a mere rhetorical device on his part. My objection was not to the panties covering too much. It was to the unfortunate fabric and a general unattractiveness of design. I would not have had a problem with those cute boyshort things or something, and those cover at least as much.

My wife just called. A Met Life representative who was at her office for a "health fair" collapsed and died in their lobby.

HR sent around an email, reading:

> This brings home to all of us the importance of health
care, especially
> maintaining benefits and your personal health.

Bummer

And some people wonder why people who work in HR are universally derided as useless morons.
