I was just gonna ask you what the other joke was, lisah.

"You didn't come here to hunt, did you?"

Bwah! Don't know it from Homicide, but I'm pretty sure I know the joke, though I heard it with the punchline as "You're not coming here for the hunting, are you?".

Oh, I forgot all abot getting out early when you were a senior. That was great.

It was lame for me. The first year that my bday fell within the school year, ('cuz we usually ended around the second week of June) - finally I could get attention from everybody on my birthday!! - and it ends up falling in Senior Week, so no attention, and also no sleeping in, because it was the day before graduation and we had to show up for rehearsal.

Think it would work on Music Store Guy? I could walk in, fall down, and start uttering phrases that would make the faint of heart pass out!

I was thinking it was more of a variation on the Bend'n'Snap. Don't actually fall down, just bang into something, bend over to check it out (thus emphasizing fabulous booty-ness), snap back up (with cursing, if desired, to show that despite your loveliness, you're still a real down-to-earth kinda gal).

Edited to wish all kinds of ~ma to Ms.H and family.

I just started watching Dr. House. I want to marry him and have his tormented, sarcastic babies.

Isn't he the bestest? although I must admit I also really enjoy Dr. Chase for the prettyprettypretty.

What an unfortunate senior week off! I don't think we had any sort of rehearsal for graduation, I certainly did a lot of sleeping in.

I like the sound of the Bend, Snap 'n' Swear. Who could resist?

I like the sound of the Bend, Snap 'n' Swear.

I can see it now:

"Oh dear, I seem to have knocked over this rack of Simpsons figurines, let me just pick them....oh, FUCKBEANS!" Snaps up.

Much ~ma, Bil.

Robin and I have dibs on Hugh Laurie, you House watchers. Just an FYI. We loved him first! (I've adored him since the 1980s.)

ah...the short version is

A guy goes to the circus. A clown comes out leading a horse and calls, "Will the person sitting in seat 22F come to the front please?"

The guy looks at his ticket and is excited to learn that he's in seat 22F. He runs down to the center ring and goes up to the clown. The clown points at the horse's butt and says, "This is a horse's ass." Then he points to the guy and says, "This is also a horse's ass."

The crowd erupts into uproarious laughter. The guy is humiliated.

He's is totally dejected for weeks. One day as he's walking down the street he sees a poster up in a store window. It reads, "Quick Comeback School." He notices that a new session starts the very next week.

So, the guy goes to Quick Comeback School for a year. He graduates and several days later he sees a billboard proclaiming that the circus is coming back to town. "I'm ready," he thinks.

On the circus' opening day, the guy goes to the box office and requests seat 22F. The show starts and, sure enough, that same clown comes out leading a horse and says, "Will the person sitting in seat 22F come to the front please?"

The guy gets up and struts to the center ring. Again, the clown points at the horse's butt and says, "This is a horse's ass." Then he points to the guy and says, "This is also a horse's ass."

The guy turns to the clown and says, "Fuck you, Clown!"
