Aww, Nutty, I went to that article thinking I was going to read about baseball players actually throwing each other under buses. Now I will mope.

Dear Hec, while Emmett is undoubtedly the best 9 near old evah, aren't you worried about spoiling him? Signed, didn't get a shuffle and a bike for MY birthday, damn it.

If I only had a brain...

and I'm not sure if something was wrong with the pill, since it seemed smaller than usual (blister pack you basically have to lick the quick-dissolving pill out of)

I took that one once. Maxalt? Orange thingy?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Some of the fans dressed up in, er, costume, and I think maybe that was silly.

FTR, my coat was RED, not brown.

"Are there always a group of half naked blond women giggling and flirting and trying to get attention from anyone in the business?"

Welcome to LA...

FTR, I was neither half-naked nor giggling.

Mine's white, but yeah, Maxalt. It works more often than Imitrex, though less thoroughly.

No, that would be Carl Everett. t /insider Red Sox joke circa 2001

I tend to buy myself presents for my birthday. Like, a computer! Which, in the process of stockign with software, I discovered that I could download iTunes for free. In fact, I had to, because it was bundled in with Quicktime.

What is even happening?

It is to whoa. Rafael Palmeiro attempted to throw his teammate Miguel Tejada under the bus. And failed.
Oh. A metaphorical bus. Maybe I can get my jaw off the floor now, if not completely closed.

Polish typists must be the most nimble in the world. Typing names like Rodziewiczowna and Przybysz all the time could only make you very dexterous.

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."

You would really really be surprised. I'm no nimble typist -- as anyone who has been on AIM with me can attest -- but, given the motivation, I can spell Yastrzemski corerctly nine times out of ten.

Coach K from Duke, NSM, but I'm not a basketball fan.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why? Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.

Oh. A metaphorical bus. Maybe I can get my jaw off the floor now, if not completely closed.

I was in the same mental place.

We're very stretchy. - Connie Neil

When I worked for Waldenbooks, Little Warsaw was just down the street from the mall, so we had a lot of Polish people frequenting the store. Quite a few of them signed up for the frequent shopper card, but since errors were frequently made by the staff when typing the info into the system, I'd occasionally call in to the office to have them correct the entries. Once, I had a stack of over 50 entries to correct, and the operator I spoke with (in Ann Arbor, MI) was flabbergasted over the number of people with multisyllabic last names ending in "ski."

Oh, and this is for brenda m and all the other Chicago dog owners out there--Chicago is Dogtown USA (as determined by Dog Fancy magazine)!
