It's more likely that he was being characteristically sloppy.

I further note that, while that's a pretty picture, the skyline pictured isn't one that anyone would see with any regularity. (I'm assuming that the vast majority of people leave off regular boating during at least a significant chunk of the 8-month winter.)

This one is better. And b/c of the undulations of the shoreline, you can see some of the skyline "from the lake" from land.

However, I have publication 502 on my desk and can tell you that birth control pills, artificial limbs, artificial teeth, christian science practitioners and osteopath visits all qualify, if any of those tickle your fancy.

Or just go on the irs.gov website and get your own copy of publication 502. I'm sure you will find something. (note, the publication specifically says that dancing lessons are not covered, even if a doctor recommends them. in case you were wondering)

However, I'm fairly sure that health club memnerships, if prescribed by a doctor for health reasons, are now reimbursable and deductible.

Mmmmm, undulations.

It seems to me that you can't get right in front of the Hancock Center and be on land (i.e., Thurgreed's picture), but what do I know, I'm a Texan. Yours is much better.

See, y'all, he does have his uses! Even if the avatar still makes me think "octopus."

Actually the Hancock Center is a good three or four blocks in from the lake. You just can't get a good picture of the whole thing from there without being on the lake or in a plane.

Ahem. Cough.

Big ass buildings? Not so much. Nice view? Yeah.

I hated the last episode. But please. It's one episode. Almost every other successful sitcom drags it out so thin that you have to completely stop watching. Seinfeld should have ended the same way it began. With nothing. No sendoff. No nothing. They should have been sitting in the coffee shop arguing over something completely stupid.

Nah. I love those shows. Jerry coming out and sitting on the arm of the chair to talk to the people at home about things he remembered. Perfect because he's making fun of those idiots who did that on other shows. He couldn't even keep a straight face while he was doing it.

And the clips are hilarious. It's the perfect show to have clip shows for. All they need to show is a few seconds of:

"Out?" "Out." "It?" "It. Out."

"So she caught me." "Caught you doing what?" "You know...pleasuring myself."

"No soup for you!"

Etc.

Your cough would probably get better if you didn't live somewhere that's all cold and damp and shit. Monkeys should know better.

Very scenic, indeed, though the skyline gets an assist from the motherjumping huge hills...

Have a lozenge, and a seat in third place.

Try eating a banana. The potassium might help. Who knows, maybe a google search will show that potassium is depleted by excess alcohol.

No googling necessary. Alcohol is a diuretic (it makes you pee) and a large part of a hangover is dehydration. Excess urination carries potassium along with it (and magnesium) so yes, potassium may be part of the tic problem.

Think of it as me mocking people mocking me mocking people. Kinda like your favorite TV show. BTW, FWIW, those stupid clip things are not at all funny unless one has watched all the underlying shows, which, IMHO, YMOV*, are kind of grating after a while. But I don't hate you for liking them.

Anyway, the only really serious part of that post, asstuft**, is that you only included like 1/3 of the skyline. I didn't even realize until I saw Coltrane's (? or Aloha's) picture of the entire skyline how much you left out. Assjack.

*figure it out.

**thanks to whoever invented this

We have a real skyline. It will accentuate our skyline (even if I don't really like the design that much) which now looks like it has a huge gap in it (like penske's diabetic, club-foot momma's smile). Your skyline is too small for such a tall building.

I laugh at your foolish NY-centrism. Chicago has the most distinctive skyline in the world. Quantity does not equal quality. But then, given your mama, I wouldn't expect you to have learned that.
