Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

If he didn't think it was that serious then why did he balk at staying in Italy and claim he thought he'd die if he didn't get back to the US?

See, this is just like the damn LJ Purge Panic this week -- it's very, VERY simple: if you fuck up, just be a man and admit it and don't try to deflect blame.

I've heard this as the Ted Kennedy Corollary: Tell the bad news as fast and as in much detail as possible.

I understand that there are treatments, but his odds right now are about 30%.

The report I heard on NPR yesterday, on All Things Considered, quoted a doctor at the Denver hospital where TB Dude is, who said that TB Dude should make a full recovery.

Exactly. No good can come of prevaricating, and you just hurt your image if you delay/don't reply at all.

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

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

I just remembered I saw Steven Schirripa from the Sopranos last night. Someone asked him if he gets whacked in the next episode, but he couldn't say.

Dear Dicksmack,

Repeatedly forwarding an e-mail message that has been in my inbox for less than 45 minutes "just to make sure I got it" is an example of how not to make friends and influence people.

Cranktastically yours,

Dicksmack! That's a new one. Love. It.

We have this issue with faxes sometimes. Faxing a 44 page document 3 times? Makes the non-profit angry.
