Now he is a dentist. Is it the laughing gas?

No, it's the hard drugs. It takes a special person to inflict pain on a daily basis.

Wow, that brings up a creepy memory (other than the whole "trial" portion).

that's weird.

I almost posted the same, but from the recruit's perspective, and about Coltrane. Except for adding that just before he got up and made the excuse to leave, you find out that he hadn't finished law school, and you'd ask how he can expect to do the job since he lacks the basic requirements.

Just FYI:

I think that Flower v. Coltrane has more zip than Flower v. Hank.

Count me squarely in the Flower v. Coltrane camp.

Agreed. I don't think there ever will be another like him, either.

You haven't lost track, he just owns a bunch of teams:

In addition to the Saints, [Mike Veeck] and Saints’ co-owner Marv Goldklang have ownership interest in the [Fort Myers] Miracle, Charleston Riverdogs (South Atlantic League), Hudson Valley (New York-Penn League), Brockton (Northeast League) and Sioux Falls.

And Bill Murray is still one of the Saints' owners.

Being nice with the ex- was getting me nowhere, but I really don't think I said the N word.

It is a gender thing. The whole point, according to Bartelby (and from my understanding generally) is that it is a what's good for one sex is good for the other phrase. Your attempted thingy up there doesn't work. Unless maybe if his wife tied him to a table and spanked him or your wife tied you to a table and spanked you. Wow this has not been worth the effort.

No one is with me on this?

No. Because -- and I am mainly sure that everyone will agree that I am mostly correct about this -- mental images of wonk getting spanked by his wife (or sebby's wife or hank's wife, for that matter) are not what we want from the FB.

I think FLower 2001 v Flower 2005 is dreadfully lopsided. PLF01 did not have to resort to gay fucking to get a laugh.

You have to understand, however, that it is a perspective thing. 2001 was a happier time for you. You were a lot less angry, and so you had a correspondingly more positive view of others. In fact, I would go so far as to say that the 2001 Paigow would probably appreciate the 2005 Flower even more than she appreciated the 2001 Flower, admiring the progression and maturation of the internet persona.

Paigow05 is actually happier than Paigow01. Paigow01 was a manic depressive mess. Koo Koo. Don't project.

ETA: Merde! I meant to say that Paigow01 was more co-dependent and delusional
