  • Don, you've got it backwards; spare the cat and shoot the owners.
  • Initially I read your post too quickly and thought you said that your brother-in-law had lost his dog pen and shed his wife but didn't need them anyway. Oops! x:D

  • She's an idiot, and I think they should ban both idiots and pictures of idiots lest someone get the idea that it's okay to be an idiot.
  • I'm one of those people who, like szemcumo, thinks it's a great bargain to get a piece of mail across the country for 37 cents. To my knowledge, I've never had a piece of mail get "lost," though once all my best friend's family's Christmas gifts fro…
  • [font size="1" color="#FF0000"]LAST EDITED ON 03-15-05 AT 10:12AM (CST)[/font][br][br]Here's a couple of things to do that are not on the strip: The overhead laser light show downtown is pretty cool, and a side trip through the dessert out to Hoover…

  • p.s. Thanks for that quick trip to upstate NY I got from responding to your post. There for a minute I almost thought I saw one of my ex-inlaws coming over the hill in a snowmobile.
  • Aw shucks, Ray....it's only because you're my Secret Trombone Hero. As for Don, I don't believe in kicking a man (in the knee) when's he down. Don: Feel better! Ray: Practice, practice, practice in preparation for that day in the future when all For…
  • Ray, your reference to "cruel and unusual punishment" as it relates to the trombone makes me believe that, at least, listening to a higher class of broadcast journalism has increased your understanding of constitutional law. x}>
  • "Fitness: It's not for sissies!" or "Health hath no fury like a body scorned" or "I'm a (name of your company) health nut."
  • I don't know any of the answers for sure, but I love several of the quotes -- the swan costume, the wallpaper, and "fools who haven't said enough." Surely one of those has got to be Oscar Wilde's. I only hope I'm that witty on my deathbed.
  • None of the above? xpray
  • Judyjudyjudy, you've lived in Texas HOW long, and you've never heard of banes? As in, "Eating too many banes can become the bane of your existence"...? But you're right -- English is impossible, which must be why most of us don't speak it very good…

  • The info behind the headlines is that Koko had issues with her birth mother's lactation capabilities. (Guys, maybe should you try that line instead of begging.)
  • Well, I've always been a big fan of Koko, but I may never think of her the same way again. (By the way, Geno, I know you're supposed to be from MD, but are you SURE you're not genefromjersey who wrote the 8th reply to Ambrose under the Free Republi…
  • Don, you were lucky it was a recliner instead of a different type of "throne" of the porcelain variety. xflash
  • Don, I've got you beat on lowest pay for first post-college job. It was also indirectly HR-related. I was a clerk-typist in the Liberal Arts Placement Office at UT with a gross monthly salary of $385. I was the only person in the department so I was…
  • Leslie, your mom's plaque reminds me of a cartoon my boss's former secretary had posted in her work area. It featured a relaxed-looking woman sitting at her desk sipping coffee, with the caption: "Of course I don't look as busy as the men -- I did i…
  • So let me get this straight: Are you saying that a guy walking around naked is perfect? You must belong to a different gym than I do.
  • Come to Austin during late September and catch the Austin City Limits Music Festival. It's a blast -- most fun you'll ever have while experiencing heat stroke. Also, Kinky's campaign ought to be in full swing by then. If you don't believe me that …
  • Add me to the "didn't mean to be a snob" category. I didn't figure out the little red flag until a couple of weeks ago....duh.
  • "Where in the rules does it say winners have to be gracious...." Alas, there's no rule book for graciousness. As you said about being pro-life, when it comes to civility and grace, either you is or you ain't. And my point was, them that ain't ain't…
  • So, we're back on this. It seems to me that any Democrat or Republican with a working human head would concede the following: Both sides can cite facts that support their own positions; both sides have idiots, zealots, and ne'er-do-wells among th…
  • Mainly mysteries, such as "Kill Two Birds and Get Stoned," but his latest book is a travel guide to Austin. I laughed all the way through it. This is where he discusses, among other things, serial killers named Wayne, appropos of nothing to do with …
  • I'm totally serious. He announced last week in front of the Alamo. A string of articles on his candidacy can be found at [url]http://www.kinkyfriedman.com/news/news.html[/url]
  • This reminds me that Kinky Friedman has a theory about the connection between the name "Wayne" and serial killers. Thank God that a man of such great intellect is running for Governor. He nailed down my vote last week with one simple quote for the p…
  • x:D
  • > He >was so scared that he peed all over the ruffian. I'm sure he needed to go pretty bad after hibernating for a couple of months.
  • LHill: I beg your pardon, but it's "Hook 'em" here in Berkeley. x;-)
  • This is a belated reply but I was in a bored (misspelled very intentionally) meeting all day on Friday. Texas geography explained: East Texas (aka "behind the Pine Curtain") is in the South. West Texas is in the Southwest. South Texas is in Mexi…
