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

You want him to get, what, like jingle-bell rings? Jingle-bell bracelets? And have the firm pay for the jingle bells?

What do I win?

Okay, screw you and the horse Taxwonk rode in on.

Yeah, that's what your wife told us too.

You are correct, as alway. I will have to locate a more suitable subject. Would it be awkward for me to ask the secretary if I may borrow her bells for a few minutes? Or should I assign this task to the subject?

Cette liste, elle est merde.

Couldn't agree more; the Captain Beefheart ranking struck me as especially bizarro (BIZARRO! BIZARRO!).

Thanks to you Jack, however, now I own "FEVER PITCH: THE OFFICIAL MUSIC OF THE 2002 FIFA WORLD CUP," purchased for $0.92. 12 inches of Snow and Pocker Full of Kryptonite were purchased for similarly low prices. The thing I'm really excited about is Indie-Can '91 Sampler 2 disc set, with BNL and Bourbon Tabernacle Choir, and 30 bands I don't think I've ever heard of, like "Mercredi a Milwaukee" and "Gen".

The food was good, BTW. But who knew that they sold wine in earthenware casks? And the next time we're blowing $500, let's not do it on Afghan. I'm not sure I ever want to eat that much lamb again.

Give it break, you already won today, do you have to rub it in?

Ok, boss.

Alternative Grinch Recipe #1:
1 oz Midori Melon Liqueur
1 oz Banana Liqueur
1 oz white Rum
1 splash 7-Up

Directions: Mix ingredients, pour over ice and let chill. Shake, strain and serve. Highball Glass. Alcohol (ABV) - 23% (46 proof).

Alternative Grinch Recipe #2:
1 1/2 oz Midori Melon Liqueur
1 oz white Rum
1 oz Gin
1 oz Vodka
Fill with 1/2 7-Up
Fill with 1/2 Sweet and Sour Mix
1 oz Blue Curacao

Directions: Fill a hurricane glass with ice and pour in the four alcohols. Add the sweet and sour, and the same amount with a touch more of 7-up. Float the blue curacao on top to finish. Alcohol (ABV) - 10% (21 proof). Hurricane Glass.

These drinks would cause an otherwise healthy person to develop diabetes.

Only Bizarro in that the hep kids know that "Bat Chain Puller" is my most underappreciated opus.

And the kittens really dig "Lick My Decals Off, Baby"!!!

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 can't go in Pink. All that light purple and pink makes me think my eyes will start watering because of the potpourri.

As for Boss, I only have a few shirts from there because I'm cheap and will only upgrade my shirt collection a few at a time.

What about this says Tony Montana (Note: I don't like the tie in the second photo)?

And you really shouldn't be popping shit about what not to wear if you need your wife to hold your hand when you go shopping, Pinkie Tuscadero.

Ah, Snow. Sadly, dancehall reggae didn't need a Vanilla Ice archetype. However, 12 Inches of Snow goes down in history as music's greatest, and perhaps only, triple-entendre album title.

As for Spin Doctors, shame on you. Mark my words: No one will have a kind word for them on "I Love the '90s." Not even Gedde Watanabe.

Headline: "Stocks End Up, Aided by United Tech, Coke"

http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmp...kets_stocks_dc

In addition to the concern I feel at the methods used to attain these highs, I am also a little worried about the crash that inevitably follows. Has anybody ever tried this "United Tech"? What does that do?

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.

You've got to be kidding. I think Cashman is a little weasel who only has a job because he lacks the balls to stand up to George. But on this one, I think Cashman wasn't the evil villain that everyone painted him out to be.

Andy said he wanted to test free agency. Cashman let him without complaint. When it came time to put the chips down, his offer was almost 10 million dollars more than the one Andy took. That's pretty much all Cashman said (did you even read it?).

If you want to criticize because Cashman didn't wine and dine him enough, go ahead. But based on what I've seen (and that includes the transcript from his conference call), I don't think Cashman deserves that much of the blame on this one.

What the ......? $175 for a fucking green shoe made out of plant pieces?? The blurb says it's the perfect gift for just about anyone. Yeah, if the anyone happens to be Imelda Marcos.
