Sebastian told a story about a girl who put her face on his ass, and I think that was suppose to be years ago

That's derivative of "orange juice, orange soda, what's the difference" and therefore very 1996.

The phrase I cited was from the summer of '89. Maybe the '96 orange soda thing was derivative of it.

But thanks for playing!

ps: And I know the woman who inspired that phrase.

These "Thurgreed's Mama" jokes are getting stale.

My great-grandfather didn't invent the phrase "very [1996]", but he did popularize it in this country. It was all the rage in Schleswig-Holstein when he emigrated in 1881, and that young man had hardly stepped off the boat in New York City when he started merchandising tack and ice skates with the phrase "sehr 1881". His partner, one Andrew Ckrangrysze, had the brilliant idea of translating the phrase into English and putting it on pennants and apparel, and together they made millions. Ckrangrysze changed his name to "Carnegie" and went on to fame and fortune. My great-grandfather blew his entire fortune in an ill-advised scheme to sell porcelain furniture, and today I work for a living.

Newsflash! Paigow outed!

It turns out that Paigow is a 98 Degrees fan named Kelly who was claiming as long ago on as April 7, 2000, on her other bulletin board that she and her buddies from college first used "heart" as a verb. The proof of the pudding is here - http://groups.yahoo.com/group/thehea...e/943?source=1

P.S. Note the use of explanation points. I have also now proved that Penske does = Paigow. Q.E.D.

Yeah, and I popularized the phrase "suck my dick"

Good lord, Less, have you taken to trolling the 98 degrees boards?

Dude, the hot hollywood child actress/wannabe child actress drink of the year is Hpnotique (sp?).

If you get her that, she'll be like all cool and stuff.

From the same article as the Steven Segal...
Oct. 22 — Is Pamela Anderson playing Russian roulette with her health? ANDERSON recently told Howard Stern that because she has hepatitis C, she only has five to 10 years left to live and is trying to maintain a healthy lifestyle for the sake of her children.
So a Pam fan was stunned to see the stricken star swilling booze on a Swedish TV show.


IS this true about hep C? I thought you could live a fairly normal life (with the exception of the binge drinking). I know a guy with hep C and he didn't say anything about shortened life expectancy.

Your life expectancy is shortened when the only thing you are doing about your disease is taking some concoction formulated specially for you by your homeopathic doctor.

Interferon (and another drug) do well against Hep C.

Actually, Slave referred me there as a dating resource. Where else do you think he really met Paigow?

Point taken. Who's to quarrel with such good results?

I heard this through a colleague, and it may be apocryphal, but:

"If I disclose that, no one will buy the stock."

It is apocryphal. I've heard it attributed to several clients in several cities over the years.

I heard that first hand, about 3-4 years ago. (Actually, I think the exact words were "but we shouldn't disclose that, or potential investors won't want the stock or they might pay less for it.") The speaker was an MP at a top tier I-bank. It's not apocryphal; it sounds like there are just multiple stupid clients out there.

Another good one: an I-banker proposed inserting into a prospectus something to the effect of: "since acquiring our biggest competitor in X market last year, we have had no siginficant competition and have been able to raise prices in that market 50%. We intend to expand implementation of this strategy to markets Y and Z."

I'm not sure whether ot be terrified or flattered by YOur freakish obssession with me. Honestly LEster, your psychopathetic need to include a reference to me on a regularly basis confirms that you are the most jvenile late-30somthing attorney the world has ever seen.

OBviously you still want me, but it aint' going to happen. I am averse to spittle flying forth from the mouth of a drunken unattractive windbag. STick with the schtick of banging naive young FBers, if there are any left (PJ?) who you can get drunk enough to tolerate your presence for the six or seven hours it takes you to get htem in the sack for the 5 or 6 minutes that you will take. I"Ll never understand this phenomenon but it makes more sense than your obsessession with me.

Too busy to ketchup today so just ignore if this has been posted already.

The event follows the rules of traditional karaoke but instead of standing in for Whitney Houston or Frank Sinatra, contestants belt out the parts of adult movie stars.

Players pair off in male-female teams as a XXX film is loaded into the projector. With the sound turned off, each duo is handed two microphones and has one minute to provide the aural fireworks for the action on the screen.

Yeah, but you worked in an industry where the phrase actually led to getting your dick sucked. Remind me again why you became a lawyer?

I'll go on record for saying that the one thing you dislike about Chicago is one of things I like. Give me an older bar with character and I'll be happy.

Pascha? I wouldn't be caught dead in that place. Each to his/her own of course. Of course, I won't go anywhere where the drinks are $8+ and every song is techno. Kill me. Techno does not = hip. Never has, never will. I suppose if you really like to dance, some of these places are probably pretty fun. I'm usually out to get drunk.

If I'm with the guys, a bar with good looking and efficient waitresses is really all I need.

And I think the Park Hyatt (as well as the Four Seasons) is around $450/night now.

I think we are actually on the same page. I don't mind a drink and dancing crammed in with a bunch of 22 year olds now and then, but, for the most part, I want to sit around and get several drinks in a comfortable place when I go out. That's what Chicago is missing, in my opinion. Sports bars, Irish bars, neighborhood bars, we have in spades. There are a lot of those, but they aren't always that nice. And I like the more top-shelf stuff, that these places don't always have.

In Chicago, there aren't a lot of slightly nicer places just to sit and talk and drink. Like an older hotel bar or a nicer hole in the wall with some nice leather couches, or a nice, comfortable bar. Those kind of places are all over the place in New York, LA, DC, Boston and other big cities. Chicago doesn't have many. It's either dingier places or over-the-top, see and be seen by a bunch of tools, dance clubs and bars.
