You got all kinds of learnin' and you made me look the fool without tryin', and yet here I am with a gun to your head. That's 'cause I got people with me. People who trust each other, who do for each other, and ain't always lookin' for the advantage.

John H:

Completely random post, but did anyone see an article which stated scientifically that redheaded people are more sensitive to pain?

Professor [mumble] of [mumble] University, who's professor of Anesthesiology, tested people and found that given the same pain stimulus (any excuse to administer electric shocks to undergraduates, eh?) redheads needed twenty per cent more anesthetic before they no longer felt it.

I read that and I was all THANK YOU!

Now it's offical.

Instead of people saying "oh for god's sake stop whining John you are such a fucking baby!", perhaps they'll say something more like "oh for god's sake stop whining John you are genetically such a fucking baby".

Madrigal, Natter:

My problem wouldn't probably be that it was phone sex, but more that it was probably really boring mundane phone sex. During my first semester in the dorms, a girl in the room next to mine had a bf she was quite fond of, and often, and usually around midnight, but the major annoyance was the fact that she only used two words to express this. I kept wanting to shove a smutty vocabulary book under her door.

When the revolution comes, I don't want to be shot.

Fair enough. I can relate. I don't want you shot either.

Good. Because I was thinking of standing behind you.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!

I think that was my first COMM quote! Even though it was as the straight man, I'm still all choked up.

I find that hard to believe, Jon. That it's your first COMM.

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

I did a search. UNTRUE.

BHP in Natter:

I stopped attending one Episcopal church because I realized that spending every Sunday in a tearing rage and planning to seek out and kill every single composer in the Maranatha catalogue was not necessarily compatible with Christian charity.

Let me just say that popularity with people on public transportation does not equal literary respect. --Jesse

Buying a book?

How is this possible? "Book" is a collective noun. Next you'll be buying "a" pea.
