It's simple. I slap 'em around a bit, torture 'em, make their lives hell...Sure, the nice guys'll run away,but every now and then you'll find a prince like Spike who gets off on it.

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.

More the thought of mediocre burger grossing me out.

Danger is my middle name, only I spell it R. u. t. h. - Tina Belcher.

My reaction to Palin: Brilliant political move for McCain, at least for today.

But, Oy-fucking-vey! She's a minefield for the democrats.

Oh, god . . . you know, the first thing I want to know about a potential vice president could be anything, but it's not her workout and diet habits. Headline on Yahoo from WSJ.com.

Didn't the Wall STreet Journal used to be a sort of stodgy, respectable paper?

From that WSJ.com article -- didn't Trudy call this?

She and her husband, Todd, also an athlete, named their first son Track because he was born in that sport's season.

Do they get a pass for being teenage parents at the time? (edit: or, back calculating, I guess they weren't, quite. Just fairly young. Not THAT young. NO PASSES FOR YOU!!!)

Lots of teenage parents managed to not name their kid little Football Smith or Lacrosse Jones.

t edit If I had been a boy, I might have been little Baseball Lang.

Imagine poor Balance Beam Berkowitz.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

If I had been a boy, I might have been little Baseball Lang.

Oh come, on. They'd think of a better nickname than that. Baseball is replete with weird nicknames.

Oil Can Lang. Huh?

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

I am sort of amused that a (I am assuming) conservative Christian named two of her daughters after TV show witches (Willow and Piper). Also, Trig?!? Like Trigonometry? For a child with Down's Syndrome?
