You're slacking. "Like" isn't the same as "as if"

"Keggers"? At Wigglesworth? John Harvard just rolled over in his grave.

Was the Harvard thing one of those "funny once then not" or a "never funny;" it's important to me to know.

Weapons of Mass Destruction Found.

In Texas of all places. His own back yard.

In a vending machine.

HOUSTON - An exploding vending machine turned the coolant freon into phosgene, a poisonous gas used as a chemical weapon in World War I, and forced the evacuation of 10 people from a Texas hospital, officials said Thursday.

Quiet. I was trying to trick Hank into committing another delightfully droll faux pas so we could all have a hearty chuckle at his expense via PM.

Oh I'm used to it, wish i weren't but I am.



true story:

Senior year, for prom night, I had asked my older cousin to buy me a Penthouse, because I wasn't going. I had the biggest crush on Lori Latham- quarterback's girl! I used to walk by her house slow on my way home, stay out late watching her window, go through their trash looking for tampons- you know the usual puppy love stuff. But I didn't ask her out- How could I?

Guess what?, three days before prom she ASKED ME TO GO! Wow!
Too late to get a Tux, I did one of those tux T-shirts and in the dark - what's the diff?

Date night I didn't save up like Less says I got rid of like they say in Something about Mary, but 4 times.....( not to brag-I was a goer back then)

so anyway the dance was magic. I was afraid her old guy, the QB, would be angry. Not at all, I saw them several times laughing together- I thought what a good break-up.

most exciting part is the King/Queen vote. We won! who says I was just a nerd? I admit she was more popular and probably got a lot of the votes herself, but still....

Then, night ruined..on stage to get the award, the QB and his line poured a bucket of pig blood on me. Turn's out it was all a joke.

I stared at the doors angry to try and force them to close with my mental powers. i though I had done it cuz the door moved, but it was just the one football guy bringing in a dozen eggs to throw at me.

So anyway, I know girls can be cruel. Sticks and stones I say.

I'm sure you've read the reports of the kid that has tons of muscles, but the picture is great. Cute kid too.

One of California's crackpot legislators is advocating allowing teens to vote. I think it would be a better idea to deny the vote to parents of teens. Mom files criminal complaint after 11-year-old at film camp is shown clips from "Amelie," which is perhaps the most precious movie ever made.

I don't know whether to be more outraged at the dipshit mom or at the reporter for describing Audrey Tautou as "an Ally McBeal-type character."

shameless the way that once some people become parents they feel the need to send around mass e-mails. but posting the photo on an anonymous internet chat board?! that is downright irresponsible.

Please, God, tell us you relied on the subtitles.

If you enjoyed it in the original French, then dollars to donuts this will dominate PB coverage until the conventions, and odds are 6-5 that Sidd's woody will last about that long too.

I suspect that if you're from Chicago, it's still kinda funny. Not only is it a local topic, but they seem to be into increasing the shelf life of jokes in Chicago (see, e.g., taxwonk). Must have something to do with the sausage industry.

It's not really a Chicago thing. It's just that with my increasing age and deteriorating health, I tend to remember things that took place in the more distant past than, say, whether or not I unzipped my pants before I peed. It sucks getting old.

Well... I..... er, um....sorry. He is cute though, don't you think? We decided to snip his tail so he could fit in with the rest of the humans. But his heart is pure monkey.

Similarly, I watched "the Triplets of Belleville" last night, and I'm left wondering Comment est-ce que je récupère ces quatre-vingts minutes de ma vie ?

I make sure to tell people "Your kid is NOT the cutest kid on earth. HE's just a regular kid."

Hell, sometimes I get a stiffy from hanging out with Atticus.

I'm really disgusted to have to say this, but he's telling the truth. I've seen it.
