if ppnyc had spent time with salad bars she'd still have her figure.

Kelsey Grammer asked me if I wanted to go follow the siren so I could maybe get a client, and then made jokes about how out of date my suit was (it was an Armani with a Nehru Jacket).

I have sauna'd with both Kelsey Grammar and the Governator's brothers-in-law. Separately. Nakedly. Platonically.

I don't generally wax rhapsodic about it, and certainly don't do so on the ground that the happiness it brings me argues in favor of someone else having a kid, especially since nobody else gets to have mine.

Try it in a few years when you need a babysitter.

There are shared components of young children that are universal. The joy-bringing components.

Lately one of my kids like to sit around and play with one of his non-universal joy-bringing components. A lot. I don't particularly mind this in the house, but I'm starting to worry about how to dissuade him from pursuing his joy-bringing in public.

eta: Preferably in a way that doesn't lead to expensive therapy bills in several years.

I've found it hard to find places that serve uncut oats, and they take forever to cook up at home. Who serves them?

The Dalai Lama just had cold toast in the morning after we played croquet.

Do you people mean steel-cut oats? Because I really don't think you mean uncut oats.

Wine Spectator is giving away free access to their subscription-only service for the next two weeks. It's a ploy to suck you in to the subscription service after two weeks, but if you are interested in wine, it does have a lot of interesting articles. Basically, my friend just wants page hits because she just redesigned the website and wants Marvin the owner to be happy. So please do your bit if you have any interest.

From her email:

Still got a lot to finish up, but meanwhile, we're giving away free access to our subscription-only site for the next two weeks. If you don't mind signing up with your e-mail address, check it out--and tell anyone you think might be interested.

www.winespectator.com where you'll see a promotional banner if you're not already a subscriber, or www.winespectator.com/anniversary

Just make sure you unclick the subscribe to our Sips & Tips newsletter box unless you really want to get our wine of the week e-mailed to you.

Help me get our visit and page view numbers up and make my boss happy!

Ty told me that one of the (many) things that he likes about boxed wine is that they put the reviews right on the packaging. No need for websites.

there are also mud wrestling picture books out there you might consider, depending on where you want the relationship to go.

There are other ways you could have gone with the women boxing thing, Hank. (spree: Mike Tyson wants to beat up more women)

Once your Islamic overlords take over, a daughter with this habit will get a forced clitoral circumcision, but it sounds like you mean a son. for boys I think they'll just chop off a finger each time.

I take it back. It's just a different cut. You're right. It's about food. I should have known.

do you know how many people have me on ignore? you caused more people to read that than I did. when you reply to me consider which board it should go on.


My IPOD has been playing Biggie Duets lately. i never really liked it first listen, but the "duet" with Bob Marley is pretty good.

I like oats. You were thinking, "if not rolled, then must be uncut." Hah. Fool.

I partake in the joy-bringing components of young children by means of interaction with my young nieces and nephew.

I think that is great. They don't have to be "your" kids.
