"1923 - U.S. President Warren G. Harding became the first Chief Executive to pay taxes and account for his income. Harding’s tax bill amounted to nearly $18,000." Is this a misprint? I figured he was probably the LAST president to account for his i…

I've haven't heard most of these either. My two best friends are both psychologists (no cracks, Ray!), so I can't wait to use the Pavlov line.

You forgot to thank the academy and your agent.

No offense taken! I don't see how people get by without "y'all" and "all y'all." A luddite is someone who is opposed to the advance of technology. Up there in Ray's neck of the woods, they're still using smoke signals.

But you'll have to exfoliate to remove the purple stains. Seriously, I don't know much about Blackberries, but I think it combines a cell phone, a PDA, and a device to send and receive email. That last feature seems to be what's got everyone addic…

I like the next to the last one because of the HR relevance.

Don't know what happened, but you won't have to wait long for the movie version of this clip. Yes, I just heard: It's in the works.

Very cool. Thanks for posting it.

You definitely have my sympathy, Linda. I live in fear of my second-in-command leaving. If you cannot identify a suitable replacement internally, do you have friends or colleagues in your area with whom you can network about promising candidates s…

Paul and jitrbug: Your checks are in the mail x:D.

Ray, I'm a lifelong project as you know, so I hope you've got a lot of time to devote to this! Actually, when I said something earlier about liberals in Texas being an endangered species I should have qualified that as "outside of Austin." I'm in …

Larry, Re: the title of your post -- got it, loved it. The problem is that I've got that song stuck in my head now. Oh well, I guess there are worse things to have stuck in my head. Up there in the Land of 10,000 Gun-n-Ammo References, y'all must r…

Ray, with all due respect to your friend, I'm having a hard time relating the hunting accident to the decision to invade Iraq...even though (a) I'm a liberal who didn't support invading Iraq and (b) I'm very keen on metaphors. But I'm happy to kno…

Oh that's just great, Paul. Get us hooked on these episode recaps and then cut us off half way through the season.

I think I felt a little tug on my own leg while I was reading that.

PCB, you're doing very important work for us unfulfilled, knuckle-dragging Cro-Magnons. Keep it up! Plus, if you could extend this valuable public service to cover the Bachelor in Paris, that would free up another hour per week for me. Ww.

Dang! I knew there was something I forgot to do last weekend -- buy weejuns for Thursday. Must have been one of the few weekends of my life that I did NOT buy shoes. As for the "don't ask - don't tell:" That takes all the fun out of it. But where…

Oh, you know, it's that thing you do where you put your UNDERWEAR and other garments in a large, stationary machine -- possibly located in your utility room, mud room, or garage -- with some soap and possibly fabric softener; you turn it on, water …

Forgot to do your laundry again, Marc?

Her false teeth are probably with my car keys. I've had to call in late many a time because I couldn't find them.

Conspiracy? Hmmmmm...I think you're onto something. (Hook 'Em)

I'm on the verge of being personally responsible for a new one: Kept awake all night by a chirping smoke alarm. My house, though not particularly large, has five smoke alarms -- four of which, I swear, are within five feet of each other (safety code…

There's a breed called Portuguese Water Dog...a Working Dog, not a Hound. But I can imagine where the hound inference came from.

Sorry for the delay (I've been on vacation for a few days), but here's a BIG congratulations!! What's going to be your grandma name?
