Dtb, we need some very basic work here.

Note, "manpleaser" is singular, not plural. Note that if multiple men are involved ... the plural is irregular ("skank").

Yes, I'm sure dtb will heartily agree.

I never watched that show much. But good to know. Maybe the whole Everwood subplot is some kind of misguided penance. Did Buffy ever do Giles?

No, but she did sleep with a dead guy.

Just regular dead, or undead?

Letting us know that Ohio says no getting married here you queer people.

Thanks for the heads up. I'll be sure to stay out of Ohio for the near future.

I'm no hebrewphile, but isn't Judaism the kind of thing that you can join? Then isn't appearance, while certainly correlative of Jewishness, not definitive?

If you want to throw out ways an Asian girl could be Str8's Jewish wife, you do not need to drift so far afiels as conversion.
Your easier hypo would be the girl had a Jewish mom and Asian dad. We'd be left to doubt the liklihood based upon average genital sizes, but couldn't eliminate the possibility.
As I say however, for reason beyond her ethnicity, she is not Jewish. I am comfortable of that.

I'm ashamed to say I got caught in this web last night. Who got booted? The previews made it seem like the boys were setting Sam up for a fall. Someone PM me please if they don't want to post it. Thanks.

[cliche]Greetings, grasshoppers. I just got the memo indicating that using fake html codes is totally past its sell-by date and is conclusive proof that the poster doing same is phoning it in. Carry on. Indeed.[/cliche]

Whiff.













NOT!!!





And using tiny font never had a sellpast date to pass in the first place.






UH HUH!!!

Undead, but he'd been undead for quite awhile. The age difference was over 200 years. And she had just turned 16 that very night. I'd say there was probably a good statutory rape claim there.

After Missouri's own Dick Gephardt finished fourth in the Iowa caucuses, the local NBC affiliate cut away from network programming to broadcast his speech. That didn't sit so well with the Average Joe.
Viewers jammed KSDK-TV's switchboard and Web site in the hours after the decision Monday to pull away from the final segment of "Average Joe: Hawaii."

Sam got booted. He was the leader, and had the team running all over town to negotiate good deals at places that didn't even sell stuff. Trump's "easiest decision" so far.

The guys plainly are idiots. They have yet to think out a decent plan of attack. WTF would you waste time trying to negotiate over the price of a gold bar, when a) it's a commodity and b) will, at best, yield small percentage savings. And why would you go to a high-end leg waxer to negotiate--back alleys, folks. The chiquittas, however, have one strategy: the innocent girl/sex appeal approach. Turn on the charm to close the deal. It works selling lemonade, not multi-million dollar buildings.

Seems Martha Stewart carried her Birkin bag into court yesterday. Granted, it's 11 years old and not the most extravagant version available, but it's still worth about $6,000, so it wasn't such a smart move.

Which raises the broader question: Why, with nearly everyone who wants/can afford cable subscribing to it, with essentially every news story, however loosely defined, getting coverage on at least two news networks, do any local or national stations feel compelled to switch to news stories during entertainment shows. Surely MSNBC was covering teh speech--why not run a scroll referring viewers? How hard can it be?

And, note to DC stations: when there's a threat of 3 inches of snow, it is not news. It is weather. It should be covered during the regular news and news breaks. You do not need Live Team Coverage with reports from VDOT salt headquarters and Md. State Police HQ in Gaithersburg, plus coverage in my community of nervous parents stripping safeway's shelves of milk, bread, and toilet paper. All during Must See TV. Thank you for your consideration.

So long as the little people don't watch Sex and the City, would they know any better? I assure you, I wouldn't have a clue. But I would vote to convict anyway, because I can't stand country casual.

She should have just brought a nice Coach bag. Respectably upper-middle-class, unpretentious-looking, discreet.

I will gladly hold her Birkin bag for her while she is in prison. She'll have to find someone else though to care for her flock of heirloom hens.
