No, it's going underground - like Abbie Hoffman did in the '70s. I suspect by now Ray is living in a two-bedroom split-level in a development outside of Tucson, and his name is Gregory Happenschmidt from Poughkeepsie. He's probably selling insuran…

Wouldn't have anything to do with that mob figure who was rubbed out last week, would it? On the surveillance tape it looked an awful lot like Ray who was holding the slingshot, so maybe he's gone to ground or something.

Bland. Flavorless. Mundane. Colorless. Without controversy. Avoiding conflict. Taking the middle road. Expressing all the character and flair of Dan Quayle on Thorazine.

Ritaanz, please note the change in my screen name. Parabeagle is dead - long live X2! I am the kinder, gentler version of Parabeagle. I will avoid all controversy, strive to remain as vanilla as possible and make a home on the fence. But I am co…

My favorite was always "Pistol Pete" Maravich - the guy had great hair and my folks made me wear a crew cut growing up.

Nah, I think Chicago will take Houston in seven. There's just no stopping that Michael Jordan guy!

Congratulations, NaeNae... I'm not there yet, but will be soon (long before I want to, that's for sure). Hope you enjoy your new pup. You know, Beagles are among the smartest, noblest of animals... x;-)

Judges don't forget how to look up the law, and start relying on clerks just because they don the Robe. Likewise, even though they may ask their clerks to research an issue, they are going to do their own research to clarify key points, etc. And j…

Gillian, you were around when we did the Forum Calendar a couple years ago, weren't you? A bunch of Forumites are memorialized in that (I think I'm Mr. May, not sure). A Forum directory is not that big a stretch...

Good grief, Cheryl... What is this? The freshman mixer or something? x;-) (just kidding).

As I hear it, it started when a Catholic named Mercury was elected Pope. Since Mercury was a pagan god, he decided he could not be Pope Mercury and changed his name. It's been a tradition ever since that a new Pope change his name to either reflec…

I'm only a vegetarian 'cause I can't stand the taste, the texture, the smell or the sight of meat - not for any high-falutin,' esoteric, health or ethical reasons like those PETA-nazis. I don't smoke a lot, but I do smoke. One day, I'll quit. My …

I once quit smoking for about four months when I was dating a nonsmoker, using the cold turkey method supplemented by the "care package" I received from the American Cancer Society (gum, hard candies, etc.) plus a lot of support from my girlfriend a…

Stay right where you are. The ASPCA and PETA are on their way to arrest you for that groaner. x;-)

In the Pacific Northwest, we've been dealing with the meth crisis for several years now - it's only just beginning to become widespread in your area of the country. Hold onto your hat, TN. This is a good-news bad-news situation. The good news is …

Perfect! x:-)

How do you counter gorillas? x;-)

Good question. As I said in my earlier post, I don't know what they did with them after the stadium was finished. Maybe they were released in the woods or something.
-
"...treating, fixing, and releasing - that's great, but potentially expensive." VERY expensive... the tab was picked up by the City (read: taxpayers). Your tax dollars at work, I guess. x:-)

Neither. Think "smart." x;-)

"...but if I were you I'd want to make sure everyone! knew about this! and never let him forget it." I think she just did, Judy.

Sorry, Don... but it sounded so much like you. x:-8

If you can break away for a little touristy stuff, Fisherman's Wharf is a must (especially Ghirardelli Square - chocolate-loving women usually like that). Alcatraz is a sobering tour. Despite what Don says, Foster City does have restaurants, canal…

Grew up watching Chet Huntley and David Brinkley, Walter Cronkite, John Chancellor (who was probably my all-time favorite), but for the last several years I've been watching Peter Jennings and preferred him precisely because he didn't show his liber…

7. Peter Maas, creator of the character Serpico, got his character's name from an ultra-expensive, highly-prized Malaysian liqueur made from fermented viper venom. Actually, Frank Serpico was a real person. The character was not fictitious. Fran…

I came in this morning to some pretty sophomoric pranks. My phone had been disconnected, a three-hole punch had been emptied in my chair, the settings on my chair all changed, the wheels removed, my desk screwed shut and my coffee cup glued to my d…
