I'm not posting that picture again (enough!), but maybe someone can explain to me why Gest has such a small head. Is it because they removed a little something with each surgery?

I believe that "something" is called testosterone.

And you've bought used cars from him, haven't you?

That's it!

From this book I gained the knowledge that Jews have one seriously depressing holiday where they don't eat, one that is different from all other nights and one involving a little lean-to, in addition to the widely-known one about the oil. And usually I can remember to say "happy Purim" but not "happy Yom Kippur."

Which probably puts me ahead of about 85% of the country.

No, but I have banged him.

I only buy my used cars from the small lots with big signs that say "Bad Credit, No Credit, No Problem!"

Funny, she doesn't look Jewish.

It's probably for the latest celebrity trend, Kabbalah. After Madonna decided she wanted to be a mystical MOT, it's the latest thing. Goldie Hawn is a devotee of sorts so Kate may be as well.

Given the past cycles of celebrity spiritual trends, I predict this will last until the next guru comes along with promises of inner peace and eternal youth and thinness.

Goldie's always been Jewish. So she's cool.

There are even songs about it.

Actually, I think Kate Hudson is Jewish. I think her mother is.

I don't know. What does bongo playing consist of in your nape of the woods.....neck of the wape...where you live?

It seems to me that there are two possibilities w/r/t manlove. One is that he is actually playing the bongos, thus leaving his rear exposed for penetration. The second is that "bongos" is a euphamism* for balls, in which case he would be playing [with] your balls. But if you have another scenerio in mind, I will consider it.

Your fingers may wiggle, but the sun shines on your fish, so it's all good.

Colin Firth, Jane Austen, and the Sunshine Family .. you really are my SP.

Donna, Dianne, and I all had the Sunshine Family dolls. I don't know what Donna and Dianne did, but my Sunshine couple had lots of sex after I learned what sex was, and lo and behold, they had a Christmas baby!

Did you make the cribs out of tomato baskets and playpens out of strawberry containers and couches out of milk cartons, too?

Tomato baskets -- check.

Strawberry containers -- check.

Milk cartons -- not so much (I think I used egg cartons).

Are you sure you're not my friend Paula? (I almost want to put her last name on here -- it was VERY unusual -- lots of consonants and only one or two vowels -- just to see if she's out there, but I will resist the urge....)

Actually, it ain't Kate Hudson. It's an anonymous Dutch barmaid wearing, of course, a traditional Scottish Glengarry hat. But thank you for playing.

{Cue PLF.}

{Cue TM.}

Edited to add: Come to think of it, she looks like what might result if Kate Hudson banged the chick who plays Dawn from "The Office." In other words, Kate Hudson with EuroTeeth.

Anyone who could not tell by the ginormous boobs that the pictured girl was not Kate Hudson lacks the attention to detail that I expect from my lawyers. I want my retainer back.

I was going to ask if she was lactating or something and that had made her boobs huge, or if she'd gone to her mom's plastic surgeon.

Of course, now I'm thinking whoever posted the picture originally was just looking at some blond chickie and opining that there is no way she could be Jewish because she doesn't look Jewish and her name is not stereotypically Jewish. And I expect everyone to pile on that person. Now.

And apropos of your HDTV conversation, I may be misunderstanding you, and I understand were talking about different cable companies here, but I was surprised at your assertion as to the cost of an HDTV tuner. My understanding is that a regular HDTV-ready digital cable box will act as a tuner (I don't have HDTV, do have digital cable - interestingly*, when I tune into the digital channels on my box, I get digital sound but no picture, which makes some sense because I run the sound directly from the box to the stereo, but my TV's not compatible, but I digress). Comcast hits me for a small rental fee (<$5) each month for the box over the cost of digital cable, and apparently I could buy one, but I've never looked into it.

I was talking satellite HDTV receivers. You're talking about cable HDTV. As I understand it, the cost for the HDTV box for cable isn't much.

Seperate question for cable Tivo users: does the Tivo unit replace the cable box, or is it in addition to (in which case, how does it control the tuning)?

In addition to. It has a little sensor that fits over the laser sensor on the cable box which changes the channels. There's a small delay, which is a pain in the ass, but you get used to it.

dtb and I would be happy to pile on that person, but not in the way you are suggesting, which would not be Apropos, as your post is clearly a whiff.

Unless you intended it to be a whiff, in which case, this post would be a whiff, but for this sentence. Even if it were a whiff, however, it would have value for its suggestion of a 3way with Atticus and dtb.
