Why is it I find it especially funny that it took your dad getting sober to realize that she's a significant upgrade over your mother.

Sheeeit Hank! Let be the first to warn yer dear old daddy that for this chimp, I'd sooner start torching up the crackpipe, again, than be in a relationship with one of these twelve-steppers.

OTOH, AA or NA are great places to meet weak vulnerable chicks down on their luck and reeking of the stench of low selflesteem. Two words, easy onenight stand. Just make sure and wear a couple of condies.

More power to your dad if that's his game.

Yo, step down spooky! On a slow night, after a couple of dozen drinks Hank's mom ain't bad. As long as its a backshot, cuz there ain't a bag thick enough to keep her butterface ugly in check.

Ever wonder why greedy Canada was always such a polite place?

The effort by the Nova Scotia health ministry and the Canadian Mental Health Association to banish selected words from the news is not only foolish, it's dangerous. Words are merely the outward expression of thoughts. Any attempt to control words, then, at its core is really an effort to control thoughts, whether proposed by draconian state censors or well-meaning mental health professionals.

For the next six months, the province's Department of Health and the CMHA's provincial branch want readers and viewers to monitor their local newspapers and television stations and report any uses of "inappropriate" words such as "basket case," "lunatic," "nutcase," "fruitcake," "madman" and "kooky" to authorities in return for "cash prizes."

Is this list all-inclusive? If so, he's still okay with "whackadoo," though it may get a little repetetive.

Okay, Office fans, I was wrong, Ricky Gervais is on next week's episode of Alias. Sorry.

He was a very funny man, if this is him, it's a big loss.

A man's body was pulled from the East River yesterday afternoon, police said.
The body was so badly decomposed that the face was unrecognizable, and all police could say for certain is that it was a white man.

They're checking it against a list of missing persons, including troubled writer-performer Spalding Gray.

The only piece of clothing that had not disintegrated on the body was a pair of black corduroy pants.

When Gray disappeared Jan. 10, he was wearing black corduroy pants, a gray jacket, blue scarf, brown sweater and brown shoes.

So, can I get a little support here on the trend towards bangs for women from the hair guy? I'm against it. Don't know why, but when a pretty girl gets bangs, I'm so disappointed.

In these parts, they have something called the "Jersey Claw." Its long hair, with fluffy bangs at the front that lean over the forehead like a claw. It looks like something a female country singer fro0m the 80s might wear, but somehow its held on in the Baltimore-Phila-Jesery/North Jersey corridor.

That is a sick fucking joke. The knot in question is identical to the one on your shoes, for fuck's sake. So do you want to be one of the 10% who know how, or the 90% who are too stupid to realize they, too, know how?*

*I recognize the younger male contingent on this board went from those newfangled Velcro sneakers with blinking lights directly to tassled loafers or whatever monk strap thingies the metrosexuals were wearing three years ago.

I agree that the bow tie is the only acceptable tux tie. However, tying one is a motherfucker. I was hald up at my own wedding because I could not get the fucking knot right.

I gave up and bought a clip-on, but it looks too perfect.

Solution? I find one of the musicians before the wedding, or a concierge, or some other person who has to wear a bow tie regularly, and ask him for assistance.

My father, who is not a native English speaker, refers to a similar version of that hairstyle prevalent a little further South as "undulated-American style with a Berlin Wall." Very apt description, I think.

Disturbing. She reminds me of an iguana I once knew.

An iguana a whole lotta folks would love to fuck.

Yeh, her nips point a little bit too far to the side, but I think the rest of the package far outweighs that minor defect. My only problem with Burke is she's a bit too Barbie-ish. She's got such perfect modestly curved hips that she doesn't need the big boobs to look proportional. She'd look better downsized.

True dat. But last time I checked, my shoelaces weren't belt width. And it didn't matter which side was up.

BTW, I know it's LA and all, but what was Charlize's date doing with a white dinner jacket? Do the May-September rules simply not apply to the rich and famous?

In this part of the world, its part of the "Secretary from Bristol" uniform.

Thank God the firms in this building outlawed sweatpants on secretaries. Has your building done that yet?

FOR YOUR WEDDING???

Are you trying to kill Atticus, here? No longer is he silently weeping. His initial banshee-like wail upon seeing your post has subsided, and he is now staring mute at his computer screen, his eyes red and glazed, as he twitches and occasionally scratches at his face like Elvis jacked up on speed during his White House visit.
