OMG, I'm so homesick now that I've seen that 60 minutes piece, beth. But thanks for posting the link to it. I was very interested in how your friend had researched this.
Cute little scofflaw.

[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.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
I offer the strongest proof I can think of that I was raised by wolves: my mom just sent me an e-mail with the subject line "Uncle Woody Died."
In. The. Subject. Line.
He was my great-uncle, and lived in Florida, and I'm fine -- I mean, it's sad, but he was close to 90 (I think), and ran marathons into his 70s, so he had a good life. I really don't need brackety hugs, please.
(I do, however vehemently dislike the trend of one dead family member per month. August, Tim's mom; September, my uncle Steve; October, Uncle Woody. After I read the e-mail to my co-workers and commented on the one-death-per-month thing, I asked if anyone wanted to sign up early for November, to beat the rush.)

Heh. I was making a list, myself. No one has been willing to sign up, yet.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
No brackety hugs, Steph, but I do hope that this trend comes to an end. Ugh.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

Sympathies, Steph.

Steph, I hope that trend ends soon and only thing you'll be expecting every month are paychecks.
