No, professors doing the sex with their students.

Curb Your Enthusiasm returns to HBO Sunday at 9:30pm (after SATC at 9).

Yes and there is a 3rd season marathon on Friday and the first season comes out on DVD next month.

I can barely curb my enthusiasm at this point. I'm hyperventilating!

And the DC Circuit has held that Monica Lewinsky (blowjobs and purses and law, oh my, it's on topic) is not entitled to reimbursement of $1.1 million in legal fees. Yeeaowch.

Meanwhile, in what we can only assume is an alternate universe, private DOE contractors get reimbursed by the feds for their legal fees when they're sued in ordinary employment discrimination cases.

In an O.G. move, the University of California has been successfully defending its DOE Ker suits on the ground of 11th Amendment immunity, then putting in for reimbursement for defense costs. To the federal government, that is.

If this is the best you can do, I fear your hearting will go unrequited once again. Better step it up or you may be the PLF of 2004.

Give me a break, Timmy, I'm sick.

Speaking of brain dead chimps, where's Flinty?

Since you're sick, I won't response rudely as to where I've been or who've I've been with, and merely answer "Present". Have a Happy New Year.

Mrs. Chef got her first La Perla thong and matching bra. They look hot on her.

That is all.

To opposing counsel in the case my GP currently obsesses about, even while on vacation: You are a DICK DICK DICK. But I will still kick your ass, tear your head off, and pee down your neck. This I promise on the storm-tossed soul of Edgar Allan Poe.

To the guy going to the 19th floor: Old Spice? Are you fucking kidding me?

To the butterface with the DSLs near the baggage carousel: Call me. (Cell phone.)

To my Secret Santa: Fuck you. Could I have hinted any harder that I wanted this? You're useless.

To the Apple Music Store: Please get Johnny Kemp's "Just Got Paid." I ain't havin' no N*SYNC cover version. Also, while you're at it, I'd like "Pepper" by the Butthole Surfers and a belated "Christmas Wrapping" by the Waitresses.

No, no, let him continue. The yoke of lameness weighs heavy on my shoulders. The spectre of former greatness haunts my dreams and shadows my ev'ry waking moment. I am a broken man, face drawn, with a sickly, wan, pallor. I have bookmarked each of my 2001 posts, as well as the posts of the same era containing the adulation of other posters. I have read them so many times, their images have been burned into my computer screen, not to mention my brain. I have spent countless hours staring at blank "Post Reply" screens, trying desperately to think of something witty, some trifling bon mot that could reverse my harrowing descent into irrelevancy. But every time I type, all that comes out is "Indeed. Carry on." Please, let Penske carry this weight in 2004, for it is him I have to blame for all of this. Concidentally.

This post triggered memories (much like the madeleine in what I knew as Remembrance of things past (but which is apparently now known as something different)) of one of my favorite bands growing up - Dick Duck and the Dorks. Is anyone here familiar with them? fun band.

I know what Flinty has been up to . . . he's been busy scamming the Nigerian scammers. [spree: mug shots of Nigerian scammers and Flinty taking a cigarette break]

"Bah, humbug!" No, that's too strong
'Cause it is my favorite holiday
But all this year's been a busy blur
Don't think I have the energy

To add to my already mad rush
Just 'cause it's 'tis the season.
The perfect gift for me would be
Completions and connections left from

Last year, ski shop,
Encounter, most interesting.
Had his number but never the time
Most of '81 passed along those lines.

So deck those halls, trim those trees
Raise up cups of Christmas cheer,
I just need to catch my breath,
Christmas by myself this year.

Calendar picture, frozen landscape,
Chilled this room for twenty-four days,
Evergreens, sparkling snow
Get this winter over with!

Flashback to springtime, saw him again,
Would've been good to go for lunch,
Couldn't agree when we were both free,
We tried, we said we'd keep in touch.

Didn't, of course, 'til summertime,
Out to the beach to his boat could I join him?
No, this time it was me,
Sunburn in the third degree.

Now the calendar's just one page
And, of course, I am excited
Tonight's the night, but I've set my mind
Not to do too much about it.

Merry Christmas! Merry Christmas!
But I think I'll miss this one this year.
Merry Christmas! Merry Christmas!
But I think I'll miss this one this year.

Hardly dashing through the snow
Cause I bundled up too tight
Last minute have-to-do's
A few cards a few calls
'Cause it's r-s-v-p
No thanks, no party lights
It's Christmas Eve, gonna relax
Turned down all of my invites.

Last fall I had a night to myself,
Same guy called, halloween party,
Waited all night for him to show,
This time his car wouldn't go,

Forget it, it's cold, it's getting late,
Trudge on home to celebrate
In a quiet way, unwind
Doing Christmas right this time.

A&P has provided me
With the world's smallest turkey
Already in the oven, nice and hot
Oh damn! Guess what I forgot?

So on with the boots, back out in the snow
To the only all-night grocery,
When what to my wondering eyes should appear
In the line is that guy I've been chasing all year!

"I'm spending this one alone," he said.
"Need a break; this year's been crazy."
I said, "Me too, but why are you?
You mean you forgot cranberries too?"

Then suddenly we laughed and laughed
Caught on to what was happening
That Christmas magic's brought this tale
To a very happy ending! "

Merry Christmas! Merry Christmas!
Couldn't miss this one this year!
Merry Christmas! Merry Christmas!
Couldn't miss this one this year!

À la recherche du temps perdu is now most commonly transliterated as In Search of Lost Time. Probly because it seemed more à propos for a 4,000 page book.

did anyone hear a song that appeared to have no other lyrics but "Hey, Santa" this year? Sung by a woman in a very annoying voice. I heard parts of it twice, and I had to flee both stores after two minutes of hearing this so-called song.

It's too late for Bed Bath and Beyond, 2003, but please pass on to your retail clients that music, even if it does contain the word "Santa", should be pre-screened before adding it to the Christmas Mix-repeat CD. If people run away holding their ears, they're not going to buy the extra wine glass decorator, and in fact they may not *gasp* buy anything at all in the store.

Anyone who does workers comp related work should expect to see a rise in post-traumatic stress disorder from retailers who didn't get rid of that stupid Hey Santa song.

Oh I wish. Instead I've been playing at the real money tables of TruePoker, and I'm the sucker at every table. I did win a big pot with 4 of a kind vs. a full house, which was sweeeet. But mostly losing....

Yes, yes, yes. Arrgh.
