thanks to atticus and the good people at TNT, the theme song from 'Bloodsport' will now be running through my head all morning. Except in place of 'Kumite", it'll be 'Cru-di-tes'. bastages.

this may be a sign that working today really isn't that good of an idea.

I was thinking the same thing. But then I realized that I want him to the secure movie rights for The Great American Novel I occasionally think about writing, so I refrained. Or a miniseries, maybe.

As for stuff I will never do again, I've done a lot of stupid things in my life, but nothing immediately comes to mind as being worthy of the FB. Or it's stuff that is no longer applicable. Won't ever again pick a major based upon what the hot chick in line ahead of me at the freshman advisory desk chose? I can safely say that I won't do that again. Won't ever again think that a "Fuck Art: Let's Dance!" t-shirt is appropriate attire for a grandmother's birthday? Done.

You have those rights upon creation of TGAN. Just don't grant them to anybody and they're all yours.

That'll be $775 please. Oh wait, I'm in house. Crap. Speaking of being in-house, I failed to report a celebrity interaction last week. At a fabulous Hollywood premiere, Ed Begley Jr. and his wife were sitting nearby. On the way out of the theater walking down the stairs to the party, I found myself stuck in foot traffic right next to Ed Begley Jr., so I introduced myself to him saying, "you might not remember me, but I was your teammate on Pyramid a couple of years ago." He then started to recall how Kathy Nijimy kicked his ass. Trying to be diplomatic, I vaguely recounted how he had in fact helped me win some money. What I didn't say was that he helped me win some money by being so bad, that when I was partnered wtih Kathy, and my opponent was partnered with Ed, we won so easily that it didn't even require a 3d round for me to get to the Winner's Circle.

That is all. Except for this:

I will never again ignore basic rules of physics involving projectiles and (apparently) immobile objects. Especially when people are around.

I will never again convince myself that this year is different and the Red Sox can win the World Series.

I will never, ever sock (again?).

I will not pay a lot for that muffler.

And, I will never again go IN against a Sicilian when death is on the line.

But will you go in against a Sicilian when death is on the line?

Not a wise move, or so I've heard.

And I will never, ever again care in the least whether some timmy insists on flyspecking every damn post on an internet chat board.

Right after I go back and fix that one.

Going out Wednesday, getting a little saucy, having a hangover on Thursday, going out on Thursday, getting a little saucy, and NOT having a hangover on Friday b/c your body is adjusting to the cycle. Moreover, it just gets better for this weekend. I have a huge drinking weekend coming up and my body has already done it's stretches and warm-up drills. I can't wait to see what kind of hangover I don't have tomorrow. Good times!

Shit, is this going to backfire on me? Am I not following the bender code by speaking of it?

1. I will never again tell a bunch of people, hey, why don't you follow me around the Internet. I get other people to do it.

2. I will never again try to debate homosexuality and the bible with anyone. I get other people to do it.

3. I will never again give an interview to law.com or any of it's subsidiaries. I tell everyone not to do it.

4. I will never again stand for 6 hours, in the hot July sun, with a video camera, filming protesters, which resulted in getting my ass hauled into court as a witness on 3 different occasions (and counting.) I get other people to do it (but in shifts.)

This past summer I ran into A good friend of mine from high school with whom I'd lost contact. She met another friend of mine's brother in Chicago and they are getting married. Anyway, because of this random run in at the birthday party of my friend and her fiance's brother, I have ended up on the wedding invite list. the RSVP asks me to check of my choice of entree's for the reception, both of which are meat. What is the correct way to respond, as I don't eat meat. Do I note it on there? DO I leave it blank? What do i do?

That's okay, some of us were just busy trying to come up with something better to do than play old-school Galaga from 6 to 7.

(that is what you posted, right?)

Just pick one and don't eat it. I'm sure there will be plenty of other victuals that will comply with your dietary restrictions. You could also load up on Twinkies or something (why did I ever think those were good? Ick.) before the show, uh, I mean the wedding.

Two approaches:

Note it on the card thus: * If the caterers can provide a vegetarian meal without difficulty, that would be appreciated; if not, please put me down as X (and fill in whatever seems to not be smothered in a sauce or the like that will corrupt the vegetable part of the meal).

The other approach is to mark anything now but let the caterer know at the beginning that you'd like vegetables only.

Both can work - the first leads to a momentary pain in the neck for the inexperienced hostess (no real pain for the experienced one - caterers handle this, and kosher requests, all the time); the second a momentary pain in the neck for the caterer.

Then give a very nice gift.

I've been doing this for years.
