To STRUM. To have carnal knowledge of a woman; also to play badly on the harpsichord.
Probably because in the 19th century, the harpsichord was used in porno live sex shows.
OK, I made that up....
Mal: Yeah, well, just be careful. We cheated Badger out of good money to buy that frippery, and you're supposed to make me look respectable. Kaylee: Yes, sir, Captain Tightpants.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here
Do the "companions" have their shoes off at the time, I hope!
Somehow I am imagining this slang in sort of a "Dude, Where's My Car?" type voice!

You should print an especially scary picture from My Cat Hates You and tape that up....

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."
Maybe they're hoping she'll have a "Network" moment and *completely* decompensate...
1) I always knew Ann Coulter and Tom Cruise were meant for each other.
2) Interestingly enough, Matt Lauer has endured them both with his customary nice-guy frustration. You know that if Bryant Gumbel were still around, he'd have reduced them to weeping children with his withering cross-examinations.
3) Yes, I actually liked Bryant Gumbel. That says something about me, doesn't it?

To STRUM. To have carnal knowledge of a woman
I wonder if that's related to the word "strumpet".

We have a baby deer curled up under the tree outside our office window! It's not the first time, either--one (or maybe the same one) was under the same tree on Monday. It's soooo cute!

Always Anti-fascist!
I was always fine with Gumbel, although I could see why he was Punchline Guy a lot. But, yeah, he'd make them look dumb, all right.

I've never really been a big videogame freak, but this sounds like fun:
Majesco's new Jaws Unleashed, a free-roaming hunting video game based on the hit Universal Pictures film series, lets gamers play "Bruce," the most feared predator on earth. As the intelligent shark, gamers can capsize boats, tear divers apart piece by piece, crush jet skis, gnaw apart animals and more.
In Jaws Unleashed, Bruce (the nickname given to the mechanical shark in Steven Spielberg's first Jaws movie) is upset about the infiltration of humans on his home waters. The game includes 20 missions, such as rampaging through a Sea World-like theme park, destroying a pollution-causing chemical plant and battling an orca. There are also 32 sidequests, all of which have three difficulty levels each.
Jaws Unleashed comes with a number of standard underwater and surface attacks, as well as air attacks, which means players can jump through the air to snag humans off of boats or plunge through docks. Besides Bruce's toothy mouth, the shark can use its tail like a whip and its nose as a ram and can grab victims covertly. The game also features unlockable supplementary advanced moves, such as dive-bomb splashes, corkscrew attacks and jumping "one-bite kills."
The game also features hidden collectibles, timed races and a number of challenges involving eating, destroying or stealth-killing hapless swimmers. As a bonus, the game is backed by John Williams' musical score from the original film. Jaws Unleashed is available now for Xbox, PlayStation 2 and PC. Universal Pictures is owned by NBC Universal, which also owns SCIFI.COM.
