One time in Hong Kong I asked how to say "thank you" in Mandarin. I was told there are 6 ways depending on the context.

If you want to propose some nomenclature for how the word "complain" should be applied to you, I, for one, commit to comply. As accomplished as you are, you can certainly be your own lexiographer.

That reminds me of one time in Italy when I asked how to say "thank you" in Russian. I was told something in Italian.

I am going to try more stretching and taking ibuprofen earlier and consider my pain issue, which was my only workout issue as far as the board need be concerned, resolved.



ETA apparently I have a viscerally negative reaction to being lumped in the same group as ppnyc.
Here's some other advice... Do not eat garlic scallops with spicy sauteed spinach and then hit the gym. The heartburn felt like a heart attack.

Now THAT'S a poll.
  • California
  • Ohio
  • Virginia (difficulty: it was occasionally a Class 3 felony)
  • Nevada
  • North Carolina
  • Iowa
  • Illinois
  • Wherever Hank's mom lives

Int'l Division:
  • Germany
  • Italy
  • France

I think I may have rubbed one out in Colorado. You know, to see if the altitude had an effect.

*The absence of certain states will prove unequivocally that I didn't really go to Harvard. OR WILL IT?
