Raq (again!) : Actually, another friend just went to Egypt for R&R, but to a Red Sea resort. This is the one who had a grenade tossed at her house. I asked if she'd gotten bored waiting for her house to be bombed and had gone to one of the places most likely to be blown up to get some action.

From earlier in the F2F topic:
Sean K:
Someone's evilness is showing.
Polter-Cow:
It looks suspiciously like cleavage.
Raq in Bitches:
OTOH, Mallory just rotated his pacifier in his mouth, like an airplane propellor, using only his tongue. That's going to make him popular someday.
Polter-Cow: I dreamed I danced with Jack Nicholson. He was taller than I expected.
smonster in F2F, context withheld:
Oh, fer the love of PADDYWHACK. I'm going to have to go pro, aren't I?
Sean K in F2F:
"Do NOT Sharpie the cat."
Matt The Bruins Fan in Movies:
From what I hear it's a bunch of people in cowboy boots swearing and shooting at each other. If I want to see that, I can get it for free here.

Welcome to the cat thread.
Somewhere, Hec is weeping.

I have two shorthaired cats. Maybe that will help.
In F2F:
Hec: You should paint his balls with Ritalin so he gets his daily dose.
Even funnier out of context.

Dramatis Grammatica:
its, a possessive pronoun
it's, a contraction
ACT ONE, SCENE ONE
Setting: The entire world
its: You know, I wish the world would make up its fucking mind.
it's: Seriously! It's getting kind of ridiculous.
its: It's not that hard, really.
it's: You underestimate its difficulty, my friend. Apostrophes can be tricky buggers!
its: You're right. If we were talking about something that belonged to Veronica, we would say it was Veronica's.
it's: That doesn't make any sense. What are you talking about? It belongs to Veronica; it's not a bunch of Veronica clones.
its: No, I used an apostrophe! Didn't you hear me?
it's: You can't hear an apostrophe, you ass. It's the reason people can't tell us the fuck apart.
its: I'm the reason?!
it's: IT IS the reason people can't tell us the fuck apart.
its: Oh! So with the apostrophe, it's like a contraction, kind of like any other subjective pronoun with an apostrophe.
it's: By George, I think he's got it.
its: But what about the possessive? I want an apostrophe too!
it's: No, bitch. Look at all the other pronouns. He's got his, and she's got her, and they've got their. What the hell do I have? I can't do two things at once! I have too much television to watch.
its: Hey, have you been watching Veronica Mars?
it's: Yeah, it's a great show. Hey, see how I totally used myself properly?
its: Oh, that's cake. It's when people try to use the possessive that the shit hits its fan.
it's: Its fan? The fuck?
its: Hey, I was stretching for a gratuitous example. Lay off.
it's: Are you sure you don't mean lie off?
its: Go to hell.
