what exactly is he alleged to have done? Given his image, it sounds like a possible shakedown. But if it's more than an untoward grope, there'll either be evidence or not. He's already gone for DNA testing.

If it's a shakedown, hasn't she lost all of her leverage now?

I don't know much about the situation, and surely someone here knows more. But I say he's guilty. Guilty, guilty, guilty.*

Not if she refuses to testify/cooperate or "drops the charges" (I have no idea how Colorado handles these things) in connection with a settlement for any possible civil charges. She's lost the blackmail leverage, because Kobe's wife now knows. But they're not going to get a conviction for sexual assault without her testimony, even if they have his semen on her dress, or something like that.

Big baby. If you're not working in the middle of Tornado Alley, planning on taking a stroll in the desert without enough water, or parking your desk in the middle of the shark tank at the aquarium, what's keeping you from going out and getting a Starbucks?

Unless it's "How to Fend off a Rabid Slobbering Partner" that's keeping you behind closed doors...

Can someone teach me how to perfect one of these bad boys? I have noticed that some of those in offices near mine are really strong in this area. They use them for chit chat around the proverbial water cooler with people who clearly make their skin crawl (like the fat guy, the Bill Lumbergh guy, the bimbo looking lady). One of these folks tries to make a funny and these fake chucklers just toss the head back and do their thing. They also do it really well with partners, who do it right back if they are in a fake good mood that day. Me, I just do a fake grin and try to squint my eyes and make it look like a real grin. Then I get the hell away from the water cooler. My fake laugh, which is quite rusty, always sounds so transparently fake to me that I think it would offend the undesirables on the receiving end of it. And god forbid they heard my real laugh which sounds nothing like my fake chuckle, and which apparently cannot be simulated, then the undesriables would know for sure that they were being fake chuckled at. Which I think is kind of insulting to their intelligence, such as it is.

When I read this quick, it registered as "Paigow's faking it and cannot be stiumlated."

One word: Dogs.

Mmmm, frappucino. Maybe I will go out.

But they didn't even ask the earthquake questions. I don't want to be down on the street when the glass starts coming down.

I think it's a perfectly wonderful license plate. Why wouldn't you want to keep it?

I remember being told when I was little to go stand in a doorway because it's the most structurally sound part of a building. Personally, my strategy is "stay the hell out of California."

You can just join me and PJ under the freeway overpass. Surely that's got to work for something.

It's finally happened. I've completely internalized Seinfeld and don't even know it. What was he explaining? The set up couldn't possibly be the same, could it? I would love to see what was actually said. (Have a link?)

I exaggerate a little, but only because plagiarism is so topical.

Remind me to shoot out a couple of your tires next time you cut me off.

If you buy guns the same way you (apparently) buy cars, your cheap little tin-and-plastic foreign capgun couldn't penetrate the rugged and manly studded tires on our behemoths.

(Tragically, it's seldom that one can find a product that can simultaneously safely carry your family through deep snow to its destination, give you an erection, AND piss off Nader's Raiders. What's to lose?)

Can you tell us again about why you should be the only driver allowed on the road? Because I agree, I just think we differ on how we get there.

From the sounds of it, the best reason would be her keen interest in protecting innocent third parties from the havoc she wreaks behind the wheel.

What's with the erection? You getting a blow job while hauling the kids around? If a Suburban turns you on, I think we need a whole other term -- heterosexual, meterosexual, homosexual and metalosexual?
