Yes, Trudy, I'd guess that South Korea skipped a few steps. I'm not sure they were exactly 'backward' to begin with. We could probably skip a few steps in the States, too.
It's not like she blew me off. She just left with another guy, that's all.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
Like that step where you miss EVERY DAMN F2F and deprive me of your presence repeatedly ?

Oh, shit. I missed another F2F, including one where I was supposed to be the host.
I am a bad, even polgaric, werewonkey. Spanking is called for.

Hi, Gus!
I am full of freshly-toasted bagel, and still a-squee over the Sci-Fi Channel season premieres, so life seems pretty good....

I think my local public radio station is trying to kill me. Things one should not have to hear upon first waking and before drinking coffee:
1. It's 78 degrees at 7:03... 2. Is Senator Elizabeth Dole a candidate for Supreme Court Nominee?
Aieeee!

move out and draw fire
Coffee's not going to help with either of those, flea.

What is even happening?
Coffee is more helpful than attacking the mayor with hummus.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
What about attacking Elizabeth Dole with hummus?

How many Supreme Court justices haven't been judges before being appointed?

Lots of Supremes haven't been judges. Off the top of my head, I can think of two important ones: Earl Warren, and Howard Taft, who was Chief Justice after he was President.
