FWIW, the new avatar should help with that too.

Glad to be of service. Really, this comes from the good and gentle part of my being. Namaste and all that.

Now, I'd better get moving, so Gwinky will date me.

I thought I was following around the dog.

Easy mistake, I guess, as the similarities are striking

She stammered a little bit, told me that she was from New York City, where people have lower standards I guess, and from then on avoided me as much as possible. Which was pretty much an excellent outcome.
did she have big tits?

spelling bee

In my final post on the matter, and despite not having heard back from my bookie whether odds will be put up, I am going to handicap the event tomorrow:

1. Marshall Winchester, number 172


2. Katherine "Katie" Close, number 146


3. Jack Ausick, number 142

European geeks or girls with poor coloring win the spelling bee? Do you long for simpler times?

Boy the way glen Miller played
Songs that made the hit parade
guys like us we had it made
Those were the days


smart money is here:


Speller No. 127, Nilesh K. Raval

Spend all his time playing video games like your favs? Ummm no.

Nilesh holds a black belt in Tae Kwon Do. He participated in the 2004 national finals

I had a boss who would tell racist and homophobic jokes at client lunches. What do you do in situations like that?

Just curious.
If it's a superior, I usually go with, "I wonder what you're saying about me when I'm not around." If it isn't a superior I say, "You sound like a real fucking asshole."
