I'm just guessing here, but it may have involved a trip to New Orelans and $40 cash.

I always said one but no one cuts a line better than the French. But no one climbs over an aisle seat passenger to get to their window seat better either.

$40? Are you trying to prove that you are old, or that you have really scary tastes?

I understand your secretary's desire not to stand by and let a dog die. I do not understand how that translates into a campaign to forbid people from running with their dog.

One of the things that befuddles me about our society right now is people's absolute belief that they know how others should live their lives, and the willingness to impose those beliefs on others.

Remember before most of us had met each other and we talked mostly about sex and stuff on this board?

Well, in that vein, I would welcome advice from people here who I suspect have more knowledge of sex toys than I do. I kept bugging my baby brother to tell me what he wants for his upcoming birthday. Finally, he suggested a fleshlight. I'm pretty sure he only asked for one because he assumed I was too prudish to either know what it was or to buy it for him. He clearly doesn't know me as well as he thinks he does.

So, I don't know anything about these products, and I'm not going to google at work, so if anybody has any suggestions for me to keep in mind when I go shopping online tonight, please feel free to share. He did ask me if I could buy him an Asian model, and I have no idea what that means so I'm going to pretend it was a joke.

Meanwhile, what a pleasure tonight is... our first chance to listen to Dick Vitale broadcast a Duke game!

You are confusing Brooklyn neighborhoods. Williamsburg is home to hipsters. Brooklyn Heights and Park Slope are home to housewives bored with their lives who do drugs and drink too much wine.

I cannot watch an ACC game when he's announcing. I just can't listen to him take every possible opportunity to talk about how great Duke is. And to apologize for them when they do something shitty. And to praise them for great defense when they constantly flop. He's ruining college basketball--at least for me, he is.

Separately, I think Izzo has the weapons for another championship. Looks like he has the guard play and the size he needs. And he's sure to have them playing Izzo-style basketball by March. Look out.

I hear more about Park Slope than Brooklyn Heights, and hear them equated. But other that the park (which is amazing) I don't see Park Slope being nearly as nice as B.H. Have I just not been on the right streets?
