I think the story said there was some precedent for this in the U.S. as well, although it wasn't specified. I can't imagine it would have anything to do with ethnicity though. The woman may be upset after the fact about her choice in men, but if it was consensual and the guy didn't lie about having some STD or something that could physically harm the woman, then. ...

There was a comic who did a bit where, if you can finish any sentence with "... but I got laid," then you're fine. In this guy's case, guess not.

Well, they eventually won, but had to get out of a bases-loaded, one-out jam in extra innings. Didn't realize Lackey had a no-hitter going earlier as I tuned in late with the sound off. That would have been an extremely tough loss.

The middle of that Red Sox infield has been a disaster in the late innings tonight. A 6-1 lead going into the 9th is now 6-6, and it ain't over yet. EDIT: Inning over. ... Whew. Mariners, 6 runs on 5 hits. Sox with three errors on the night.

A man lying to get sex. How unusual.

Get off my lawn!

Had disc 1 on just now. Some tasty stuff. The two Hightowers Nighthawks' tracks that wrap up the disc -- 'Boar Hog Blues' and 'Squeeze Me' -- have such a perfectly relaxed feel. So nice. Johnny De Droit's 'Brown Eyes' with Rudolph Levy's (alto) solo is wonderful as well. The quick little vignettes don't bother me too much. FF on the remote.

A good run, and I guess that is really all you can ask for. All the best to each of you in your new endeavors.

Where's this? What would Tampa give up?

Part of the clean-up effort.

Yes. Both the descriptions at amazon and cduniverse say "Number of discs: 1" Curious that both sites would make the same mistake.

Enjoy some Tex-Mex on your birthday.

McCarver is just annoying sometimes.

Looks kinda like the first macs:

Ah-HA!

Yorkshire?

Might kind of limit a person's living situation. No dog, no girl. And if you're kind of a homebody to begin with, this might not work too well. Cleaning would be a breeze though. The old music collection, not to mention books, would have to be rethought. But I guess that's the point. Go digital on the music. Get a Kindle for reading.

David Foster Wallace here, too. He apparently suffered from depression for 20 years and took his own life in 2008. I'm going to resubmit something right quick.

Catch 22. You relied on a scientific method (testing a hypothesis).

I didn't say anything about home runs or strikes, but ... Why don't you serve up some medical/scientific evidence (of the widely accepted variety) that roids don't have any effect whatsoever on the physical abilities of athletes and we'll take it from there. happy hunting.

Well yes. Band Aids, water and getting enough sleep enhance performance, too. Clearly there's a difference between aspirin and steroids, both in their legality and their effects on performance, unless you're aware of some recognized study that claims that there isn't.

Steroids are performance enhancing drugs. They are used in concert with the training you refer to, helping athletes recover faster, build more muscle and stamina (throw more pitches, extend careers?), etc. This is pretty much universally accepted. Why anyone would feel it necessary to take the position that steroids (or other performance-enhancing substances like HGH) have no effect on an athlete's performance is beyond me.

He was a hard-ass, wore his emotions on his sleeve, made a some enemies along the way, made some loyal friends, too. But he's well thought of in Tampa for his philanthropic efforts. He was a friend to disadvantaged children, athletes and coaches, musicians, law enforcement, firefighters, and service men and women and their families. He supported The Boys & Girls Clubs, The Salvation Army and Feeding America, among other groups. He helped build an emergency care center at St. Joseph's Children's Hospital in Tampa. ... an emergency care center for children. He did some good while he was here.

So will Hitler. Hm. No, I wouldn't consider Hitler a character at all in the sense I meant. And besides, he was early 20th Century.
