What is the allure of that kind of sports bet? I admit to not doing much sports betting, but in the event I do bet on sports, I tend to go for the parlays. Odds aren't exciting enough to bet on one thing. It would be like playing one hand of Blackjack instead of sitting down and playing for a while. Or something. Why bet $83 to clear $100?
He did have a 6 shot lead so you would think it is in the bag. Second biggest choke in golf history from what I hear, next to Norman at the Masters.

Ironhead's wife? why wait for some particular smello to come on the TV. Show her this guy. He'll usually get her thinking the way you'd want-

Well yes, but the "pregnant" joke wasn't dumb. It was lame. Someone else was lamest right? Respect your limitations and the territory of other's

The truth is I was too drunk to leave the house on the Sunday afternoon when Lester called me, but I was embarrassed about the bedshitting so I made up the 'roid part. Forgive?

Yes, but the partners pee with their pants around their ankles. Life has a funny way of evening things out.

Mourinho doesn't distract the wife - she had him sussed from day one. If I had a son, though, I certainly wouldn't be taking him anywhere near Stamford Bridge.

Job opening

It appears that a family on the Eastern Seaboard could use someone's help. My guess is that the contracting part of the job will involve making offers that cannot be refused.

Damn. I'm out.

No. Per PACER the Corleones don't show up as Plaintiff in any RICO cases.

This ad is a joke (or pathetic). But it does raise a pet peeve I have. Ever sit in an interview and have some dickhead tell you he needs you to do "Far more than an associate at your level would be expected to do"? I've always wanted to snap back "Then why don't you hire a more experienced associate? If you were selling cars and I came in and said 'I want a shiny new Benz at a used Volvo price,' you'd think I was a fool, right? So why make the equivalent pitch here?"

These same twits are the ones who come into your office a month into the job and tell you some story about how "there are no free lunches..."

The only good thing about knowing these people is watching their personal lives explode every few years and realizing they'll probably die alone. Its like an epic about the operation of karma in modern professional life.
