Damn it! You know what? I'm sick of this crap. I'm sick of being the guy who eats insects and gets the funny syphilis. As of this moment, it's over. I'm finished being everybody's butt monkey!

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

And I like Ted, whom I've been unfortunately calling "Food Guy" for weeks.(I didn't know that red wine turned your teeth purple...maybe it's held me back socially.)

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!
I've dated women who drank lots of red wine, and I never noticed purple teeth. The Fab Five give a lot of good tips, but that wasn't one of them.

Uh-uh, Jon, the red wine danger is a deadly one. I think food might help, but it happens to me enough to limit red wine consumption to in private.

Maybe its genetic, like the way the noses of some Irish people turn red when they drink....

I think you're standing on shaky ground with this one, Jon. Genetic staining? I think it's that other drinks or food may rinse the stain off.

I think I need to use more winkies in my posts.

No other candidate is asking the hard questions, like "Did geophysicists assassinate Jim Henson?" or "Why is there hydrogen in America's water supply?" --defective yeti
You remember those chewable tablets from the dentist that stick to plaque and turn your teeth red where you didn't brush? Red wine could work like that.

Congrats Jimi, I'm down to a pack a week so I'm nearly there.
Ken, don't forget where Murdoch learnt the TV/entertainment business and got his start. Our commercial broadcasters are old hands at the 'treat-the-viewers-like-shit' style of program scheduling, also known as the 'Viewers! What are they? I'm only interested in advertising revenue' style, or the increasingly prevalent 'If-it's-not-sport*-or-real-estate-advertising-dressed-up-as-entertainment-it's-purely-filler' school. This last one pretty much ensures that QE will be treated reasonably but Firefly & Monk, NSM.
(*and yeah, I think that the BB & Australian Idol type shows come under sport, spectator TV.)

Umm, Rupert only owns print media in Australia. He didn't get film and TV until he branched out to the UK and US; he learnt about screwing viewers from them. :)
Thanks for the regards everyone. No-one is more surprised, by my success at quitting, than I am. I've tried dozens of times in the last 22 years and they all failed dismally. I guess this time worked b/c I prepared better: I set a quit date a few months earlier and as June 26 approached, I became more determined to succeed. I only used patches for a couple of weeks and after that it was just a matter of, "well, I've gone this long, might as well go a bit longer."
Oh and I have no stress in my life, so that helps more than anything else.
