First, if there is some prisoner out there who has convinced a womajn to impregnate herself with his junk, I don't think that the government should get in the way. I know that these guys in question are probably murderers, and part of the whole incarceration thing is about taking away rights, but it freaks me out. Once you start down the road of restricting conception, where do you stop? Slipperly slope and all that.

Some Amazing Race spoilers:

Where are Chip and Reichen from? Will they ever shut the hell up about being gay? If they were from a big city, it seems like they would be over the whole "we know that everyone looks down on us because we're gay" thing. "We want to show everybody that gay people are just like everyone else." Uh, it's not 1992 anymore, and Will and Grace has been popular in Omaha for years. Enough with the chips on your shoulders. No pun intended, I guess. The mellow guy seems ok, and the crazy guy seems crazy. I can't believe they didn't roll their SUV when he was driving. It was super lucky that they didn't; after seeing them break the rock, there's no way that they could have righted it and still managed to keep up with the other teams. And I liked that David and Jeff lost. They were pretty arrogant at the end about everything. Is there a second prize?

Finally, I spent several hours at my local printer last night ("Uh, you guys still haven't fixed the punctuation of the underwriter's name on page 143. There's no period. Also, could you see if you can find a heavier cue for the pool table and some more of those Dove bars.")[1] Anyway, before I moved on to other things, I tried to screw around on this site for a while and flirt with ltl and rp over pm. But this site was blocked! Or maybe it was down! But I suspect the former, and I wonder what compelled the printer to do that.

[1] If I'm at the printer alone, I always like to set up my work area in one of the rooms where they have a pool table. The Playstation 2 is nice, too, but their games suck. And I think that it would be weird to bring in games just for that. So, lately, I've been working on my nine ball while at the printer. It's not like I can't proof pages, when they finally bring them, between shots. A partner was telling me that both the major printers seem much slower than they used to be; he speculated that they drag their feet to rack up more time (that the client pays for anyway) because their business is WAY down. Makes sense to me; they were slow as hell and I had plenty of time to eat Dove bars and play pool. I tried to get some joker on another deal to play with me, but he hadn't even taken off his jacket and tie yet. Dude, it's the fucking printer. We all get that you went to Yale or Harvard or Stanford or wherever and now you're at Kirkland or Skadden or whatever, but you're still chasing commas. Take it a little easy.

Great stomach...

Anyone who says her ship has sailed is on crack. Granted, at 22, she's way over the hill, but she still looks fantastic. I don't see any wrinkles or excess cellulite...I'll take this old maid any day of the week...

It wasn't down, so probably blocked, and if so, who knows why. Could be all the sex talk. Or they could block any number of sites automatically, a lot of companies do, using filters to block things without actually blocking specific sites.

her tennis ship has sailed.

anyway, i'll certainly be clicking that lawtalkers amazon link a little bit more now.

[ETA:] Although apparently meelyuns of others have beat me to it, as the Amazon site has crashed. Or IT has already blocked it.

Buy a crappy taco, get a vote . So, please check the Taco Bell poll results so you know for whom to cast your actual vote.

Obviously, the sheep are fed up with your never-ending exploitation God-Boy. [sheep run away from Bible school play]. The first act was named "The Lost Sheep." Ooooh, that *is* soo ironic.

Yeah, they laid that stuff on pretty thick. I don't think that they learned any lesson from Haley Berry's Oscar speech. At the same time, this show is being watched by a different demographic than Will & Grace. I felt like everything they were saying was obvious, but then I hang around with gay peole a lot. There are a lot of people in america who have NO contact with gay people (that they know of) and that have really warped (IMO) views of the whole thing, so that message was probably for them.

My guess is that post-show Reichen is put on the speaking circuit, but events organizers tell him that he can leave Chip at home... At least Chip broke down that long-standing stereotype that gay people can't be assholes.

Nice. Need to try some of these sometime, if only for the fleeting pleasure of getting smacked across the face.

I don't know where you got this. So many of my gay friends are assholes and are quite talented (avoiding the sohpomoric joke). They can even out-asshole me, and I am a pretty good asshole -- just ask Narcy.

What's weird to me is that I recognize those guys, even with the makeup, as part of the Time Bandits crew. The guy on the right was Hog; I can't remember the name of the one on the left.

Given that Time Bandits came out in about 1982, you'd think Hollywood would have some other midgets by now.

I think I shared this one here before, but I once had a bartender tell me he wished he would die and be reincarnated as an ashtray (after lighting my cancer stick). Of course I asked why, and he said, "'Cuz then you would wipe your butt all over me."

I still don't really get it.

It's ok if you don't get it. Unfortunately PLF will not allow me to explain it. You see, explaining a joke to someone can be tedious and boring for those who got it.
