  • "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.
  • Zing!
  • [font size="1" color="#FF0000"]LAST EDITED ON 01-26-06 AT 09:48PM (CST)[/font][br][br]Many, many times women have brought kids with them while they complete an application (it's never the dads who have the kids -- imagine that). I guess that's not a…
  • 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)
  • [font size="1" color="#FF0000"]LAST EDITED ON 01-25-06 AT 03:13PM (CST)[/font][br][br]"Why do they always start going off in the middle of the night???" Because they are from Hell. I just about guarantee you that if it had been one of them and not …
  • 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?
