Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

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.

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,

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