I don't know. Rub a quarter cup or so into your hands, smell them, and let me know.

Oh, fuck... it's safe. My wife got a boob job years ago. I wasn't keen on it back then, but now... Shit, I don't know how I lived without them (they're very conservative).

That you don't want to do it doesn't make it wrong for everyone else. My aunt and uncles and mother in law had plastic work done and they're very happy and very alive. You might consider saving your sheckles and getting some of it done instead of wasting them on all those clothes you'll be growing out of... Frm an economic standpoint, lipo and a facelift always make more sense over the long haul. Buying clothes like a lunatic is a short-sighted investor's strategy.

Damnit. I hate giving the IT guy pictures of myself in dresses. It just seems so unhealthy. They're getting so skimpy, and I'm not comfortable enough with my figure for a miniskirt. Selah... He owns me.

We wish it would drive away people who've been posting for over 5 years, but you can't always get what you want.

You should have some work done rather than wasting your money on clothes.

I think we look like shit and again have that attitude of "Everyone should roll over for our murderous line up." I can't fucking stand it.

Oh yeah. And ARod sucks.

NY's only real 3d baseman did quite well, last night.

I did. My inner thighs are perfect. I'd have that little triangle or diamond space you see through when thin girls hold their legs together. If my balls weren't in the way, that is...

But I haven't had my outer thighs done yet, and the cottage cheese is creeping up on me. I need to hit Curves again.

Summary from Law on ESPN.com

The story of Game 2 isn't so much the Tigers beat the Yankees as it is the Yankees beat themselves with an embarrassing performance. The final score was 4-3, but it could have been 4-0 just as easily.
Justin Verlander allowed 11 baserunners and just three runs, thanks in no small part to a few terrible at-bats by various Yankees. Here are a couple of examples:

• First inning, Johnny Damon on first, Verlander already looking like his control is shaky. So Derek Jeter tries to bunt -- for a sacrifice or a hit, I'm not sure. Even if it was for a hit, it's incredibly foolish. Let Verlander walk you, and even if the count ends up 0-2, you're Derek Jeter, one of the best two-strike hitters in the game.

• Fourth inning, first and second, Robinson Cano comes up with Verlander struggling after walking Jorge Posada on four straight 0-2 pitches, none of which was close (even the 0-1 curve looked inside). Cano hacks at the first pitch, undoing a lot of the good the prior hitters had done in elevating Verlander's pitch count and, as it turned out, eliminating a chance to get another guy on ahead of Damon, who homered a few pitches later.

• Alex Rodriguez had one bad at-bat, although the story will revolve around the three strikeouts. The strikeout against Joel Zumaya came on a 101-mph fastball, and the first K against Verlander came on a good curveball over the outside corner, one pitch after he fouled a fastball straight back, meaning he was right on it. The at-bat that got me was the called strikeout in the fifth, which also came on a curveball over the outside corner. Verlander got him with a two-strike curve, and his changeup was flat today. If nothing else, A-Rod should have been looking curve on that count, or be prepared to foul it off.

Judging by the postgame news conference, Jim Leyland is getting all kinds of credit for "not managing by the book." I'm not clear on what he did that wasn't in the book, or at least in his book. He took the starter out at 100 pitches when the guy was visibly tiring. He used Jamie Walker to get a lefty out, rolled with Zumaya for five outs, then used Todd Jones in a save situation in the ninth. Not going by the book would have meant leaving Zumaya in for the ninth, since the Yankees couldn't sniff him and the thought of using Jones with a one-run lead on the road is (or should be) terrifying. About the only non-book thing the Tigers did all day was Craig Monroe's attempted squeeze play with two outs in the fourth. That's not so much non-book as it is non-smart.

Neither starting pitcher impressed.

Verlander had great velocity as usual and a good curveball, but his change was flat, and his control and fastball command were both down, as they've been for about six or seven weeks now. He should have been out of the game before the sixth inning, but the Yankees let him off the hook a few times.

Mike Mussina, meanwhile, gave the Tigers a huge gift in the seventh when he got ahead of Curtis Granderson 0-2 and didn't throw a single pitch that was out of Granderson's reach. Granderson has very poor strike-zone judgment and will chase stuff way outside the zone on two-strike counts, but Mussina threw three pitches Granderson could reach, including a fastball that was served on a platter. The fastball Carlos Guillen hit out fit the same description.

The Yanks should have scored more than three runs off Verlander, and Mussina should never allow four runs to an offense as undisciplined as the Tigers

FRANKFORT, Ky. State officials in the land of Old Grand-Dad, Jim Beam and Wild Turkey are pushing to ban a device that vaporizes liquor and allows people to inhale the intoxicating fumes for a quick high without the burn of hard liquor.

Teresa Barton, head of the Kentucky Office of Drug Control Policy, said banning alcohol vaporizers is a matter of public safety, not preserving the state’s sipping whiskey industry. She said such devices could become “a real deadly trap” because they have “no purpose other than to get you drunk.” (uh, that's the point).

So far, 17 states have banned them, including California, New York, Florida, Illinois, Pennsylvania and Ohio, and several others are considering doing so, said Sherry Green, executive director of the National Alliance for Model State Drug Laws. Tennessee, the home of Jack Daniels, already prohibits the vaporizers.

“When you inhale alcohol right into the lung tissue, that gets drawn right into the blood supply immediately, so it’s a very rapid onset of the intoxicating effect, and so has obviously very high abuse potential,” said Robert Walker, an assistant professor at the University of Kentucky Center on Drug and Alcohol Research. (I'm sure that's why it was invented.)

Walker said alcohol vaporizers bypass altogether the tactile pleasures of drinking wine with a fine meal or a cold beer with a pizza: “You’re going strictly to the intoxicating effect of alcohol.”
(again, that's the point)

In addition, Green warned that the devices could provide a dangerous legal loophole for teenagers in states where current law forbids only “underage drinking,” not “underage inhaling.”

I can't remember the last time I drank not to get drunk. I don't think I've ever done that.
