This is an ideal sentence to illustrate the importance of proper hyphenation.

(to paraphrase a sports announcer: great non-hyphenation!)

I was told you are supposed to send a food basket to the house where they are sitting shiva.

When you're in your basement room, with a needle and a spoon?

Shouldn't there be a hyphen between dead and flower?

Of course! RT is the queen of the underground.

It all makes sense now.

Googling "black flowers" brought up this song:

http://www.last.fm/music/Yo+La+Tengo/_/Black+Flowers

Album: "I'm Not Afraid of You and I Will Beat Your Ass"

They sure didn't bury their lead.

Would you be willing to fuck him, no strings attached, no conversation? It seems out of character, but then . . .

Well, actually, no.

But it seemed like a good time to resurrect the old "Fugee loves Lester" bit.

Yeah, but the "love" was a misstep. You should have said "lust" or something.

this sucks

http://www.freep.com/apps/pbcs.dll/a...R&Show=0&imw=Y

The Tigers had this great young reliever, Zumaya, the guy throws 102, 103 even 104 MPH in 06. In 06 he hurts his wrist playing guitar hero and misses a few weeks. In 07 he tears something in his finger and misses 4 or 5 months. Then in the Cali fires, he is moving stuff from his home and destroys his shoulder. He underwent reconstructive surgery and is out until mid-08 at least. Plus, throwing 104 is really hard to do, so who knows if he'll be back at all. He is potentially Mark Fidrych, and he seems like this great young man, so it sucks that it's happening to him.

if he does come back, he shouldn't do anything with his arms, but pitch. he shouldn't lift shit, play video games, eat, hell he should hire a guy to jack him off. he is unlucky.

Now the Tigers, we'll need to get a closer/set up guy. There are two decent throwers on the free agant market, but either will cost.

I say to all of you, if you care about youth and sport, if you care about all that is right with America, eat Little Ceasar's Pizza at least two times a week for the next year so we can put things right.

I wouldn't do it in Sunny's case, since she doesn't know the person that well, but if the person who dies lived a long, fun life, send a bottle of champagne, with a card saying "I thought of reasons to feel really bad, but he lived a good life. Thought this would help in toasting it." People like that, but it's got to be for a certain type of deceased.

Champagne is the most useful thing on the planet. It's good for you, for wedding gifts (send a good bottle to the couple's room), graduations, the holidays and for deaths. I like champagne. I wish I had some now, instead of this shiraz.
