So if you apply your standard* to her, she can never get drunk at the ripe old age of 18 because she is always in the presence of famous people (and, yes, cameras).

So, in your book, because she is famous, she is not allowed to be young and stupid. This comes off to me as ridiculously judgmental. She was drunk at a birthday party and looked like she might puke. She is 18 (or 19?) years old. SFW?
Yes. Safe for work.

This kind of exhaustive explanatory response-post to someone like nfh about something like her obsession with celebrity shall, from now on, be called "pounding sand." Because that's really what's going on here, isn't it?

Anyway, and even though she was too modest to warn us, Fringey and some of her friends made the finals.

Yea us! We're the best in everything!

Oh, shit. I just got off a conference call where my testosterone-laden client told his potential investor, in response to a request for a particularly unpleasant cram-down financing, to "go pound sand."

Should I call him back to inform him that he's probably confused said investor with an obscure allusion to obsessions with People and MSNBC, or just leave it be?

Hey, here's an idea. Let's let one of the most successful playoff, crunch-time pitchers go! Yeah. Sounds good.

Congratulations. I love Duque. He deserved better from us.

This confusion is exactly why I use “go rub your knuckles in shit.”

Excuse me, but "proactive" and "paradigm"? Aren't these just buzzwords that dumb people use to sound important? Not that I'm accusing you of anything like that.

You know, there's nothing preventing you from discussing anything (save politics) that you wish here. Whether anyone else will take part depends on how interesting or inane you can be.

No, I framed it and it hangs on the wall.


I don't own any lunch boxes. The lunchbox collector kept all his lunchboxes. They were there before me, and they will remain there after me.
