So she lost too much weight. She's a knucklehead. Next.
Have you seen teenagers lately? A nice healthy eating disorder might do them some good.

I actually hope to cement my future today. Odd, I know. But sometimes things just work out that way.

Have you tried to buy a soda lately? I went into the local WAWA (PA thing) to get a can of Diet Cherry Coke. I could not find one. They only make bottles, and the bottles are all 20 oz. Now, it doesn't matter how much diet soda you drink, so I buy the bottle. But if I were a fatty fat who enjoyed the sugar sodas, I'd be all the fatter because each time I wanted a soda, I'd have to have 20 fucking ounces of it. What kind of person drinks a 20 oz bottle of sugar water?

I buy the little 8 (6?) oz cans of Diet Coke. A full 12 oz is too much for me.

Either you are a racist fuck of the worst order, or you know absolutely nothing of the man. I demand that you take that back.

"Sharif is the only Egyptian to have become an international film star, and he has played characters of almost every nationality in the Western world. He was born in Alexandria, Egypt as Michael Shalhoub, the son of a wealthy timber merchant, and of Lebanese and Syrian parentage. He spoke only French during his early childhood years, but later learned to speak six languages fluently.

He studied mathematics and physics at Victoria College in Cairo, where he also became interested in acting. After graduation, Sharif worked in his father's timber importing business for five years, yet longed to apply to England's Royal Academy of Dramatic Art in London.

In 1953 he was nearing a positive parental response to his persuasiveness when he was offered the lead in the Egyptian film The Blazing Sun, starring opposite Faten Hamama, who was then the top female star in the area. He took the name Omar El-Sharif when he starred in the film—later dropping the El when he entered international films—and critical praise and nominations followed for the film's debut at the Cannes Film Festival. Four years later, Sharif returned to Cannes starring in award-winning Goha.

Sharif became the country's number one star and idol. He went on to star in 26 Egyptian and two French films over the next several years, also establishing his own production company in Cairo. He had just paid a record price for an Egyptian best-seller when he was cast in Lawrence of Arabia, changing the course of his life.

On stage, Sharif has starred in a revival of Terrence Rattigan's famous play, The Sleeping Prince, at the Chichester Festival Theatre in Sussex, England.

His numerous television performances include the telefilms The Far Pavilions for HBO, Vicious Circle for the BBC, Peter the Great for ABC, and Anastasia: The Mystery of Anna for NBC, as well as S*H*E, Grand Larceny, Lion in the Desert, Memories of Midnight, Red Eagle and German Television's miniseries of Catherine the Great.

Always interested in the game of bridge, Sharif became a top-flight international tournament player, and he continues to write a widely-syndicated newspaper column on the subject. He is also a highly ranked backgammon player, and additionally owns a string of race horses which he breeds and runs on French, British and Irish tracks."

Cousin finally come through with that cement masons' union gig you've always wanted? If I were to leave the law it would be for the ironworkers, but to each his own.

Because it's required that you drink on the job?

One of many many perks.

In all seriousness I know a guy who did just that -- left his practice to join the union and become an ironworker. Now he swings from a harness under the Manhattan Bridge. It was a PI practice, but still.

Eating disorders get a lot of press because they create excellent ammunition for people who think girls who get too skinny and lose their boobs are less fun to fuck than others. Its a very popular thing to self-righteously say "I wouldn't fuck her with taxwonk's dick." It's the sort of thing an anoymous internet chat board for bored lawyers would let Sebastian Dangerfield spew about for 15 posts. Bloggers write loads of snarky lines about it. It's a suburban middle class malady, so it gets lots of internet discussion (also perfect fodder for water-cooler chat). It provides a rallying point for a lot of people who are bored out of their fucking minds at work, and worry that their own asses might be getting too fat.

We post too much here. We don't bill enough. Next.

If you're trying to shame me into actually doing some work today, I should let you know I am as shameless as slave is hairless.

I am easily motivated by guilt and shame, but I don't bill.
