[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
And my point is made:
This column was originally published Nov. 9, 1997.

See how there's two dates there, Jess. I think maybe Barry's column first started getting published (in that paper) in '97. The other date is a March, 2005 one, which seems to match what the Miami Herald has, here: [link]
The Daily News link took forever to load, when I tried it from this page.

No, because I remember reading that exact column in high school. It's an old one.

I know I read it a while ago, but for me a while ago = sometime between last year and my birth.

I know I still lived at home when it was first published, because that's the last time I subscribed to a paper that ran Dave Barry columns.

The Boston Globe magazine (or Barry's syndicator) may have rerun old columns at some point, when Barry was on a break. I know I've known about the poopachino for a while, but have no idea how long.

Cindy, I did see you mention the raptorgirl on LJ. I guess it's someone who wants to cash in on Kara's notoriety.
We're back with about 5 prescriptions. Kara got one, Aidan got a pre-emptive one, Greg got one for a sinus infection and a narcotic cough syrup, and then she made me jump up on the table and I got one for sinus infection too. I knew I had the infection, I was just ignoring it in the hopes that it would go away. Love how we spend 10 minutes at the doctor and spend a week's worth of grocery money. She was very cool, though, and we're home and about to have mac and cheese.

Yeah, do it fast. It doesn't hurt any less, but it's over sooner.
