I still think Finch is hot, but I think it's b/c she's a combination of athlete and porn-star.

At least People has articles. US has only two sentence blurbs for the uber-ADD* folk.

*which means it should be right up your alley.

People is the Playboy of the tabloid set. US is more Penthouse. When I want something really dirty, I go for the Weekly World News.

I always thought it was a sly reference to the fact that Elvis Presley spent his older, fatter years laying around and whacking off.

Close.

PS -- What is the genesis of TCB? I thought it was an acronym for "Checking the Box" or some such thing -- but then shouldn't it be "CTB"? Is this in the FAQ? That was a long damned time ago -- I remember the office I was sitting in when that term was coined, and it was 3 offices, and at least 6 or 7 years ago (is that possible?!?)

It's "taking care [of] business." Still not as good as "tweaking the bean," but that one's gender-specific.

Taking your babysitter to the movies, huh? You liberals are always doing stuff like that.

Did you know that hitting a foul ball when you've already got two strikes results in an out in slow pitch?

Are you kidding me?!? Maybe I get a different Neiman's catalog, but I am always shocked at how frumpy and matronly the models in that catalog look (enough so that I actually remember the models in a store catalog!). Even mr.dtb (who doesn't really notice these things -- he'll notice especially hot chicks, but doesn't really comment on the average) looked over my shoulder as I was rifling through it and asked, "Why do they get such skanky models for this catalog?".

(Maybe I misunderstood you -- like the time I thought you meant Patch Adams was a favorite movie of yours.)

There was one really hot black chick at the front and one hot blonde inside. Oh, and some exotic looking I'd say Arabian chick in a few shots.

Oh, and I'm terribly repressed, or possibly addicted to masturbation... but that's unpossible, isn't it?

High and outside. Giving the catcher a workout.

You need to work on your comebacks. You consistently say that people aren't giving their best when they insult you, but like I said before, that ain't sayin' shit. Either come up with something good, or sit there and take it like a man who would have gay sex for the right amount of money.

Quick grammar question for you. When one uses the long dash, usually seen as a double dash--known as the em dash--it was my understanding that spaces were not left on either side of it, yet I see you leaving spaces...could you please provide a citation to justify your usage that I may consult?

DTB-

Could you kindly respond to this via PM? I'm afraid a discussion of grammar might actually lead to someone's untimely death.

Thank you.

When you've always gotten the top of the line, like Sebastian has, frumpy and matronly can be exotic.

The top of the line doesn't often come with an ass forest.

That used to be the rule in major-league baseball too.

I did not realize until the other day that not every baseball fan realizes that if you hit into a double play (I just can't type DP anymore -- thank God those aren't my initials), even if a runner scores, you don't get an RBI. (Someone was debating this point with me while we were watching a baseball game recently. Happily (for me), a few plays later, that very thing happened, and the announcer said, "Well, no RBI for [whomever], but the run scores..." as if on cue. HA!)

Come now, BnB, undoubtedly some other confused lawyers here would like to see in bold print the correct spacing for either side of the em-dash.

You frat boys are all cut from the same cloth, aren't you? How much change does Finch have in his couch anyway?

She is without a doubt the hottiest hottie going.

I would cut off my arm just for a few drops of her sweat.

Seriously, I heard that she lives in NY and works out in a public gym. Think anyone would be weirded out if I licked her sweat off the preacher curl bench?
