TOMORROW, 1 to 3 p.m., Cindy Claus and my 3-pound Yorkie elves - Jazzy Jr. and his sister Juicy, both dressed in matching Santa suits - will be at Jazzy's. That's my Saks 5th doggy boutique. The eighth floor right at the down escalator. We're there to smooch, play with and outfit all the dogs (accompanied, please, by the people they own) who visit us. For four-legged buyers it's leather trench coats, red, black or tan, with epaulets; holiday T-shirts with glitter, tuxes with satin bowtie for boys, maribou evening sweaters for girls. See you Saturday.

Try eating a banana. The potassium might help. Who knows, maybe a google search will show that potassium is depleted by excess alcohol.

I'm reaching back here, and not googling for confirmation, but I seem to recall that the process of metabolizing alcohol produces as a by-product lactic acid (also found in Dr Pepper and, of course, milk, and also produced by the body as a side effect of anaerobic exercise), which causes muscle cramps or tightness.

Potassium helps the body further break down and dispose of lactic acid.

So eating a banana (or some brocolli) should in fact help.

I'm sorry. That's just too demented for words.

It's too damn tall and it's going to throw the whole NYC skyline out of proportion. Just like the Sears Tower does here in Chicago (IMHO).

Don't think so. Dissent. Wrong. Think again. Etc.

We have a real skyline. It will accentuate our skyline (even if I don't really like the design that much) which now looks like it has a huge gap in it (like penske's diabetic, club-foot momma's smile). Your skyline is too small for such a tall building.

This time it felt so good lying there along with the peaceful feeling, I actually got very aroused. I think I'm going to go more regularly, especially now that I have discovered it's covered by my flex plan.

A friend of mine just got her license and opened her practice. Every time I see her, she needles me. It's heavenly. If you're ever in Vermont and need to see someone, let me know and I'll pass on her info.

The following is a link to a skyline ranking page:

http://www.library.tudelft.nl/~egram/skylines.htm

The amazing stat is that Hong Hong has FOUR times as many buildings over 90 meters as NYC.

And the poll on this page has Chicago ranked ahead of NYC:

Plus a bunch of other fully-realized characters, like Rutn-ann, Marilyn...etc. Pretty good storylines for the first 4-5 seasons, then quality started to suffer.

I loved Northern Exposure. Gilmore Girls sort of has the same sort of quirky small town quality sometimes.

Is this some kind of veiled refernce to another antic involving you, Less, Mr. Oblivion and no pussy?

Um, no, its a fairly obvious hockey reference.

I'll let you know the next time I'm posting an inside joke, since you still miss most of them and have no idea what I'm talking about, even when you do.

Heh, good one.

I'm rude on occasion, normally to customer service people who refuse to do their jobs. I am sometimes rude to people who are rude to me. On these occasions it isn't a matter of being powerless to stop it, I am choosing to be rude.

For the most part I am polite, but if I am having a very bad day I can have the occasional slip up.

I'm with you my brother. This is the only class of people I fucking despise.

Almost every single one of them will fuck you if they can or try to if they sense you're from out of town.

They do not know (and don't care to learn) how to drive in inclement weather.

If you can't understand them because they don't speak one word of fucking English, it's your fault and they get an attitude about it.

If you suggest a different route or hint that you know the city better than they do (of course you wouldn't even if you fucking grew up there), they're mortally wounded and make exclamations about how they know how to do their job, right before they make the exact wrong fucking turn and have to turn around because they can't get to where you want to go from there.

They don't stop for me, no matter how expensive the suit I have on is.

They try to pull that "I don't have change for a $20" bit at the end of the ride if they think you're in a hurry.

They don't give a shit about their car and would rather hit you than let you in.

They will come across four fucking lanes to pick up a $4.00 dollar fare, putting everybody's life in danger.

And they fucking smell.
