If they name an HIV/AIDS funding bill after Helms, I hope they have the foresight to hook power cables up to his coffin before it starts spinning like a dynamo.

Now that you mention it, NC has a lot of crappy old coal-fired power plants that could use an upgrade to something a little more sustainable.

Shrift, that sounds like an excellent idea. You deserve a beer.

holding the host "hostage"

Am I the only one who read that and wanted to pronounce the last word so it rhymes with postage?

Okay, never mind.

You will pry my birth control from my cold, dead hands.

t suddenly very, very glad I have an IUD....

t suddenly really, really cringing at the word "pry"....

HA! Tep, you and me both.

Okay, the packers have to be done in 35 minutes, because I have to go to a rehearsal with Eric Idle.

Just let out of jury service. I am not enpanneled . this was a misdemeanor case of indecent exposure. We were told repeatedly -- nakedness is not a crime, so we were going to have to determine if the accused had sexual intent. Intent matters to the law. Running over someone you didn't see and running over someone on purpose are two different actions.

Does running over someone because they were Chinese make it worse than running over them for no reason in particular?

It does if you're teaching other Chinese people a lesson.

Is it wrong to get upset with someone for not realizing if you add $20 of expense to something and then make 100,000 of those somethings, that it is going to cost an extra $2 million dollars? And maybe just maybe they should be figuring out if it is actually going to generate that much more revenue?

Am I crazy?
