If you make it all the way through to the end of Grey's there is a scene in an elevator that is laugh out loud funny.
Wow, you've really mastered the power of positive giving-up.

You know, we could experiment and cancel football.

So, I'm going to a work conference in Huntsville, AL all next week. What's the can't-miss things to do, and more importantly, eat, in that vicinity?
I've got a wee bit of free time, maybe Sunday night and Tuesday night, and a rental car. Unfortunately, the days are all booked up with work.

You know, I've heard so many variations I'm now confused. What is the classic martini recipe anyway? Or, to avoid stirring up a fight, what are the two competing recipes for the classic martini?

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."
4 oz gin, 1 or 1/2 oz vermouth, stirred (classically, though I prefer shaken) with an olive or onion.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
Hey TB, have you read a book called The Bottom Billion by Paul Collier? I'm reading it at the moment, and I was wondering what you thought of it.

Our wings are not tired.
Lori, when I had to visit a clinical site in Huntsville, I visited the space center and ended up having a pretty damned good time!

Billytea have not read it. I admit the call for "carefully calibrated military interventions" is one I find suspicious, but can't comment until I read it. Unfortunately, my schedule is full until July.

Yeah. His position is rather better principled than, say, the current administration's, being focused on preventing genocidee, internecine civil war and/or state collapse (such as Rwanda, Sierra Leone and Somalia), but it still carries the risk of going wrong, and keeping governments committed to higher-minded principles may be an even greater challenge.
Still, for all that I'd have preferred to see (for instance) intervention in Rwanda.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Jesse, did you know you are no longer being a scofflaw with the flying with the lighter in your pocket?
I did! Thanks.
