A year and a half ago, I could have eviscerated him with my thoughts. Now I can barely hurt his feelings. Things used to be so much simpler.

Plus, you know, break out the fancy sporks. The kind we save for when guests come over.
But do you switch your hands when you use a spork and a knife?

If we were all axe murderers, we would have already murderized ita's doctors and most of the ER staff through projected outrage alone.
I think we as a society are way too obsessed with the possibility of addiction. I say treat the immediate pain now and worry about addiction later. I've read about doctors who worried about terminal cancer patients becoming addicted to pain killers. Why the hell would it matter if you died addicted to prescription pain killers? The only people who believe that there is an acceptable level of pain are people who've never been in real pain.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
But do you switch your hands when you use a spork and a knife?
Yes. But it is also acceptable to hold one spork in each hand while screaming, "DIE! DIE! DIE!" Which coincidentally is also the preferred method of spork combat.

My friend Miriam is a hospice nurse - she complains about this attitude all the time.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I would like to note for the record, though, that Owen climbs the stair while chanting "sube."
Em has been known to stand in front of a closed door and shout "abierto" expecting it to open for her.

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

Yeah, that's what I took, and walked up here from WTC. It's only a mile...

pointing and nodding like hell. also sporking the heck out of anyone who isn't treating ita to the best of their ability.
Re: Barry. He's an asshole (to the press, at least). He's also one of the most talented players in the game right now, with or without the juice. I personally believe that most players are gaming the system right now, just to stay competitive (that goes for all sports). Leave the man alone, and let him enjoy his record. Also, let McGwire into the Hall of Fame.

People in my office were recommending the PATH from midtown. You just have to go through Hoboken! I guess there's always a way...
Actually, I was remembering when this happened like 8 years ago, and I got to the office just as a coworker who lived like 5 blocks from me was calling in to say she wasn't going to make it.
