None of us is Doonesbury, Calvin & Hobbes, or Peanuts. But at least none of us is the Family Circus, either.

That is all.

Obvious addition based on geography:
GWNC would be "For Better or For Worse" (that most GWN-ish of comics).
I'm a Daniel Clowes graphic novel.
Jack Manfred is a 'zine y'all have never heard of, but would love it if you ever came across it.

I have recently been informed that you have been trashing me on some other fucking lawyers chat board. Knock it off or I'll find you and kick your ass again with a severed arm this time.

Re-read the post in question, and you'll see that it was as much self-deprecating as it was jabbing at you.

I do think you're a sock, however. You happen to be close to a masterpiece as long-term sock projects go, if only for sheer volume. Keep at it; I'm sure eventually we'll get the complete works of Shakespeare. While you're banging away, do us a favor and try to make it one of the public-domain versions. Leagl doesn't need additional copyright troubles.

Houston party legend Mike Nixon (who you may have read about here http://houstonpress.com/issues/2003-...l/1/index.html) has been found.

Too bad. You picture a guy like this heading to South America and they find him hiding in a Fort Worth guest house. Disappointing.

Hasn't NFH already posted links to Shakespeare? Must have somewhere - right?

It's my wife and it's my life. See you soon.

There's no excuse for this, as the joke that you missed was entirely based on today's posts.

Ok. Give it to me in small words so I can understand.

I've been called a sock but I'm not - I've used this handle exclusively for about 4 years. While I'm new to this board I've been around other lawyer boards for years. I know many of the posters here unless they were on regional boards that I didn't frequent.

Someone earlier seemed to be dissing me about how irrelevant my posts were. Someone else replied that they had PMd me with a note to that effect. I have zero PMs.

So, I freely admit that I missed the joke. I'm new here but not afraid to jump in (even where not wanted). What joke did I miss on today's posts? I was invited to come over to LT. But, if you want me to go away, just be a man and say it straight up.

The Apprentice: Haven't watched it yet (its on tape), but one of the contestants has a soft-core past - http://www.nypost.com/gossip/15246.htm (news article, only pic is a portrait), http://www.othercrap.com/images/frank_kristy.jpg (nekkid stills from the movie).

American Idol 3: Coming next week.

The Simple Life: I found the simple life ain't so simple,
When i jumped out on that road,
I got no love, no love you'd call real,
Ain't got nobody waiting at home.
Oh, and there is going to be a reunion special. Yawn.

Average Joe 2: More mean, more carwrecky. What else could one want?

The Surreal Life 2: I actually found myself enjoying this last night. Trishelle seemed funny, laid back, a lush, willing to call Tracy Bingham on her shit, and a horndog. Erik Estrada was boooooring. Ron Jeremy was amusing. Tammy Faye Messner is such a mess is it rather compelling. Vanilla Ice needs therapy. And Tracy Bingham needs to be bent over the pool table until she won't shit right for a week. Previews suggested much nudity and porn star parties with Vince Neil in my future. The world needs more of the three B's - booze, bullshit, and buttfucking.

The Real World - San Diego. More of the same, but appearing to focus early on the difficulties of those with gfs or bfs at home. Another attractive crowd apparently getting in a lot of legal trouble in San Diego (one girl arrested in a bar fight with a Marine, and non-cast member staying at the house allegedly date-raped another non-cast member - http://www.realitytvworld.com/index/...ory.php?s=2135 - while production crews did nothing and then obstructed the investigation. Added bonus points for the Coyote Ugly bartender with the rack, and the South Carolina cheerleader type who proudly announced that she had brought her vibrator. Super extra points for Frankie is a punk-rocker vomiting on the first day in the house.

Celebrity Mole 2: Who is more B-list, Tracey Gold or Tracy Bingham? Save me from this shite.

Survivor All-Stars: Coming soon.

My Big Obnoxious Fiancee: Coming soon. Any show with "Obnoxious" in the title has promise, but I'm thinking the gimmick will grow old fast.

Rich Girls: Yawn.

Last Comic Standing 2: Auditions occuring now. Stay tuned for America to pick another shitty stand-up in this flawed process.

Real World/Road Rules Challenge - the Gauntlet. Peaked with the Abe/Veronica/Rachel threesome in the shower. Now, the only reason left to watch is to root for Sarah and against Coral.

You may now return to your regular content-free programming.

You wound me.
To call me a sock after all these months.
However the thought of being masterpiece sock interests me.
Hmm, maybe I am a sock.

But if you read my post I said that I had been informed of the post, not I have read the post. And to have my gender questioned on a bored that I do not participate on struck me as odd. As if the legend of NFH is bigger than this.

Go away.









Were those words small enough for you?

So what did she do in "Jumping Rope"?

"January 10, 2004 -- KRISTI Frank, a cast member on Donald Trump's new reality hit, "The Apprentice," once starred in a steamy episode of Showtime's soft-core porn series "Red Shoe Diaries" titled "Swimming Naked" in which she was shown swimming naked."

Okay, I'll bite.

ltl/fb said she was ignoring you. I asked whether she had PM'd you. Since that was an email dumping joke (inspired by the FBA's sad sad situation), her positive reply was not sincere. Since everybody knew that, your post that you had zero PMs was unnecessary and, worse, reflected that you were out of the loop. That's not an ideal response to charges of irrelevance.

I don't want you to go away (so if you don't mind I'll refrain from being a man). If you stay, there may be more opportunities for smart-assedy comments from the peanut gallery that make me laugh. Or you might make some yourself.

But if you make me write one of these earnest posts again, I'll whip your ass with a severed arm.

"Swimming Naked" was such false advertising. The protagonists did not swim together naked (or if they did, it was for such an incredibly short period of time that it didn't even count).

Not that I'm bitter about that, or anything.

Oh great. Now look what you did, you jackass. Now it's back to being just you, me, Slave, Less, Penske, and Penske's socks. And Less and Slave have already slept with all the good ones.
