No. I shouldn't. It's none of my business. But you should be banned from this board. That's a fact.

I think I'll switch to the new allergy medicine that I saw advertised on tv this morning: Veramyst. I like the disclaimer they included in the commercial that "the way Veramyst works is not entirely understood". I'm feeling confident that they can't charge me $50 a month for something that they can't even explain. Hookers and blow, here I come!

I love the video link that You Tube recommended after viewing the silly allergy medicine ad: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SXoKm39vROo&NR=1

Except that it reminds me that I miss Phil Hartman. <sniff>

It strikes you as bizarre, I know, but consider this: they have no idea how aspirin works either.

If you can't tell us how it works, we not only make you pay full price, but we increase your share of premiums and require you to have monthly blood tests and body cavity searches.

My goodness. When you go over to the dark side, you really go over to the dark side.

I thought we were original. :sniff:

And, somehow, they still get upset.

I do need to work on better catch-phrases and less cursing.

It is a bit disconcerting when your little daughter responds to you by asking, quite seriously: "Daddy, how WOULD you break me in half?" Not good parenting.

I thought the phrase was, "you get what you get when you go for it."

I am under the age of 45 and I do not have my original, unenhanced boobies.

Most of the women in my office are under 45. I'd say that there are roughly 40 women, and 30 have surgically altered tatas.

Where is this paradise of which you speak?

After they announced it, did the UEFA rep fall to the ground?

I thought the whole thing was a shocking and uncharacteristic display of rationality by UEFA, which is better known for the kind of secrecy, capriciousness and unaccountability that makes Kim Jong Il feel like he could seriously improve his management model.

But this was quoted on another board as being from the Mercury News . . .

Dida is a Brazilian goalkeeper who has been playing in Italy for . . . too long, obviously, since he has picked up the Italian soccer trait of diving like Greg Louganis.

The AC Milan keeper was suspended for two games for pretending to be injured after a Celtic fan ran onto the field and bumped him during a game in Scotland. Dida was carried off on a stretcher and replaced - which struck officials as a bit strange because he had initially chased the fan before remembering he was "hurt."

"It seems to us a very, very unbalanced sentence," an AC Milan lawyer said. "It turns Dida into the protagonist of the incident, whereas the protagonist was someone else, and that's not right from a logical point of view."

Then the lawyer fainted, left his office on a stretcher, hopped off, got some magic spray and immediately returned to lawyering.

And this is for the art lovers:

You must know really well-educated drug dealers. Does that cost extra?

Is that really a fact? Think about it from a defamation analsysis. Clearly this statement -- "You have committed actions that violate board policies, for which the penalty is banning." -- is a factual statement, capable of being proven false and subject to a defamation action. But I think the statement "You should be banned from the board" is unactionable opinion.

You're still doing better than "try that with me and you'll wake up tomorrow morning without testicles, Old Man."

You "got personal" on me when you posted regarding my status change which was confidential information.

That was needless and baseless and definitive of who you are.

You lash out in the SAME EXACT WAY.

Arthur Agatston, the South Beach Diet doctor recommends the statins, aspirin and I think fish oil supplements. I like the south beach book a lot.
