Ah, but a girl in trouble is a temporary thing.

From an Amazon review: "Debora Iyall has GOT to be the sexiest obese woman in music history!!"

Personally, I give that award to Go-Go's era Belinda Carlisle.

So THAT'S where he ended up. I saw him up close in Boston . . . apparently he has slimmed down his headgear quite a bit. Previously, it looked like he had strapped a camcorder or two to the side of his head.

I wasn't paying attention, don't know who was talking about a cat, but, when I was in AP Bio we got to deal with the cat too. I was 16 or 17 as I recall, and when we signed up for the course, we knew we would be doing it. It was a choice we made.

I had no idea that we would be dissecting cats. In fact, the first time the class learned about dissecting anything was when the teacher announced something to the effect of: "Class, we will be dissecting cats today because fetal pigs are on backorder with the lab supplier."

And all the other singles...rejection hotline
is a phone number you can give to tools in bars who won't go away otherwise. The phone number gives them a message that they've been rejected. Has got to be a lot of fun. I suppose you could ask them to verify by cell phone right in front of you - hilarity would surely ensue. The numbers have many local area codes for convenience.

I have not heard the actual message, all I'm getting is "all circuits are busy" so either a LOT of people are using it, or the number's bad.

From the website...the Rejection Hotline is a number you can give out to somebody who asks for your phone number if you just don't want to give out your real number. When they call the number, they hear our humorous Rejection Hotline recording and they are not-so-subtly informed of your non-interest. If you've never heard the recording, call 617-861-3962

ETA that I finally got through and the message is pretty funny.

In other news, Vladimir Guerrero and the Mets* are engaging in a public courting ritual. Which leads me, of course, to another installment of Yankee Schadenfreude Haiku (tm). Enjoy.

Lost Pettite, Kaz, Wells
Vlad a Met? Cashman's new job:
"Care for fries with that?"

*The Orioles are wooing him, too, but from George's perspective, losing him to the Mets would be worse.

I have recently been informed that you have been trashing me on some other fucking lawyers chat board. Knock it off or I'll find you and kick your ass again with a severed arm this time.

atticus wasn't trashing you. i had accused him of being your sock, and he just wanted to distance himself, but in a way that made you sound exotic. Alot of people don't like him, so it was sort of for your benefit.

And if you want to threaten Atticus in a way likely to change his behavior, I'd recommend something like "I'll leave work early, go to your house, pull the new Utne reader out of the mailbox, tear out several pages from near the end of thoughtful articles, and put in back in the mailbox."

I'm not going to go into detail, but this might be effective in changing his behavior. I'm just not sure threatening to hit him with a severed arm is going to motivate him to do as you request. NTTAWWT.

For the sake of plausibility, you could have edited your threat to read: "Knock it off or I'll find you and whip your ass again with a severed arm this time." Unless you can demonstrate how kicking may be accomplished with an arm -- let alone a severed arm -- I don't see how a Timmy such as Atticus will be quaking in his boots upon seeing your post.

Also, on what previous occasion did you kick his ass? (I am referring to the "again" in your threat.) Just curious.

I don't know about the ass kicking or whipping, but I believe I have found the IRL Atticus.

Possibility one:



Possibility two:



Hope this isn't too outable.

I assume this is some kind of inside joke. That's OK. Just that I don't get it.

There are a lot of inside jokes on this board. Also a lot of double entendres and hidden meanings, and you should assume everyone is being sarcastic unless it is clear that they are not. Whatever you do, don't throw around the word "ironic" here. That can get you in trouble. When in doubt, just talk about sex.

Looks like you're in the Northwest. I don't get there much, but if you want to pm me, we can have a virtual cup of coffee and talk. I'd be happy to tell you what I know about the place, being fairly new here myself (I just started posting over the summer, but was a lurker for a long time before that).

Welcome and God Bless!

I became hysterical and fainted when my 7th grade science teacher put a mouse to sleep under glass (he revived it, of course). Had it been a human it would not have bothered me -- anything involving animals that is not simply loving and respecting them is my weakness.

Is it safe to presume, then, that outpost.com's commercial didn't prompt you to visit their site? [spree: cannon-firing noises]
