Wasn't he Yogi Bear's cousin?

Oh, that one...I thought Clifford had been smoking crack when he mentioned Casino Royale; I forgot there were two.

Damn it, my toaster just stopped working...

Certainly, nothing can fill a man with dread more than the four words "we need to talk".

Ah. Got it.

I must confess, I don't get the story at all. How did switching his topic screw another writer?

I suffering from an attack of honesty, so nothing but "real" action movies on my list! The Great Escape The Dirty Dozen Kelly's Heroes Bridge Over the River Kwai (hey, I don't care if it is "deep"; it still gotta qualify!) Damn, I'm getting old...

Damn, she's good!!! (Just a joke, Dan!!)

I'm with you 100% on this point, Mark. I miss my wife every day. I can't help but think I missed some clues (aka "code words") along the way that might have helped to save my marriage. I always preferred the direct approach to communication, you know, "tell me what's on your mind and please don't make me guess" but it seems that's not the way it works. I always tried to be sensitive/considerate to what she was thinking/feeling, but I obviously failed in this miserably. I put a lot into making that relationship work, and the way it disintegrated so quickly has left me questioning whether I have the ablilty to be in a relationship at all. I hear you. I told her I was about as observant as a rock, and that a 2X4 upside the head would work a lot better than subtle hints, but I guess that wasn't good enough. My guess is that our relationships didn't disintegrate as fast as we think, and that warning signs were there; we just weren't sharp enough to spot them. But what do I know?

I know that "Do what you think is right" has an unspoken addition that goes something along the lines of "and if it isn't what I think is right, I'll make your life a living hell." Though frankly, I'm still at the point where I'd love to hear some of those "code words" just one more time...

oops...I thought they'd meant I'd overstayed my welcome so badly it was almost morning...

I must admit, the info about pimps is a shock to me. Anyone here read Freakonomics? Fun book.

Who in their right mind would name a town "Manteca"? Hey, it beats Los Banos...

Crap, I actually know how to do this now, but unfortunately, my computer isn't hooked up...I'm using my father's at the moment, and he doesn't have the software I have. I'm sure someone else will be able to do this before I manage to get mine going again, but if not, bump this up in a month or two...

Mine was up this morning, but went down shortly thereafter when...wait; this is the wrong thread...

Hope I haven't posted this one already... An old woman goes to her doctor with an odd complaint. "Doctor, I have this embarrassing problem with gas, and I don't know what to do. My farts don't smell, and they're silent, but still, just knowing it's happening embarrasses me to no end. You probably haven't noticed, but I've already farted five times since I came into your office! Can you help me?" The doctor frowns, grabs his pad, and scrawls a prescription down. "Take these for a week, and come back and see me." A week later, the woman returns, visibly upset. "Doctor, I don't know what you expected those pills to do, but they've made things worse! My farts are still silent, but now they stink to high heaven! I'm afraid to go out in public!!" "Well, ma'am, now that we've cleared up your sinus problem, let's work on your hearing..."

Yeah, but they swapped it all for a Van Gogh, the Brooklyn Bridge and some ocean front property in Kansas...

Darn facts!

No need; my fault.

Back in my youth (a fabled, bizarre period known as "the seventies"), a national ID was one of the big bugaboos of the extreme (and not-so-extreme) right. It was not only a symbol of an encroaching, ever-expanding big government, but also seen as a way for government to control movement of the citizens, ala the U.S.S.R. Forcing average citizens to carry "papers" in order to travel in their own country and all. It's funny how they were so worried about liberals and Democrats doing this, when you look and see who is actually doing it now...
