I just think it's rather odd that a nation that prides itself on its virility should feel compelled to strap on forty pounds of protective gear just in order to play rugby.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

Home for the holidays sounds nice, Fay.

Interesting article in the Times. Not exactly a "feel-good" article, but maybe a "at least something good came out of it" article? The mother of one of the people killed on Pan Am Flight 103 left her estate to the schools he went to: Harvard, Choate, and a middle school in NYC that serves "academically talented, economically disadvantaged boys and girls." The last of the settlement money just came in, and it's a total of over $2,000,000 to the school -- practically their entire endowment. [link]

omnis, pursue. That's an order from a shy woman who can use M-16. - Shir

Shir, first I order you to bed. Then you order me to bed. Ya know, this is how rumors get started.

"And that's why God Almighty gave us fire insurance and the public defender".

I find nothing wrong with rumors beds.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.

Heh heh heh.

The Shir and omnis audis Show is so much fun to watch.

All is well that ends in pizza.

Hmmm. That type of banter looks eerily familiar, doesn't it, Andi?

And Fay, I'm glad you made it home safe and sound.

Well, safe anyway.

*Billy Connolly was Eddie Izzard, or possibly Robin Williams, only a generation earlier.

I remember a special he had in which he had a skit of an exchange of money between him and his wife that left him cleaned out.

Billy replaced Howard Hesserman in the final year of "Head of the Class." I only saw a few bits of him doing it, as I had tired of the show by that time.

Comedy Central used to show his standup bits in the '80's.

I had a bit of a crush on him when he was in Billy, the short-lived green-card-marriage sit-com, and didn't realize it was a spin-off of Head of the Class. But then, I didn't exactly follow Head of the Class closely.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

One of the funniest damn things I've ever seen is Billy Connolly talking about Australian animals:
