Its a drink for someone who has something two sizes too small.

Who makes nice "athletic" cut shirts (for work)? I'm sick of my shirts poofing out at the waist. Just b/c you fatasses need the extra material around the belly doesn't mean I do*. And I'm not getting a tailor.

I had the same problem. Big shoulders relative to my waist. I've found that Hugo Boss makes dress shirts that fit me perfectly. They have french cuffs too, but I'm guessing you're not a pansy.

Your office has a door right?

Why purchase when you can experiment on firm time using firm resources?

Midori? If I give you some vodka, will you let me get to third base?

Boss = I think Tony Montana had real eye for fashion.

Right. Like blood.

My post only went to the fact that you were quoting a CYA after-the-fact interview with Cashman to exonerate Cashman.

Again, I didn't totally exonerate anyone.

But...I'm supposed to get his side of the story how exactly? Are you implying that he lied about the dates and amounts of his offers and just made up the rest in the timeline?

I used what he wrote, along with what I've seen and heard from Pettitte to craft an opinion of what happened. Even NotBob's silly article used what Cashman said to come up with an opinion of what happened.

You're not really saying Boss makes a superior product, are you?

And I never buy a shirt alone. I always have a chick with me to tell me what looks good.

Fuck, I really am a pussy.

I'd be happy to lend you mine. Hell, you can have them.

It's really not much fun. He dribbles his martinis, mumbles a lot about working too hard, falls asleep at the dinner table, then bolts after ordering but before the meal arrives.

You would have been far, far unhappier if I had stayed.

Leave him alone. The poor boy is a Girl Drink Drunk. That's punishment enough in itself.

P(I do own those little paper umbrellas, as it happens)J

C'mon. From what we know about Pettitte's options, I agree with you. But you quoted a massive chunk of an interview with Cashman and concluded from it . . . . that Cashman was OK! I can't see why Pettitte would care about managing public opinion outside Houston, but Cashman's job depends on it.

I am operating at a disadvantage here because I haven't read any of the articles, and don't know many of the facts. Not that this is keeping me from giving you shit, so I guess my own little cost-benefit analysis turns out pretty well.
