1. The 8-year age difference between the two. (Newton-John is 52.) Clearly the relationship was doomed.

3. The split infinitive --- a sure sign of guilt in someone pleading for the safe return of a loved one.
"Treasured friend" -- at the bottom of the ocean? She's just toying with us, daring us to come and get her. She's a cold one, all right.

You have to be gay, black or Jewish to be funny.

ETA: unless you are a woman. Then you can be the above and you still won't be funny.

Ooooh, burn on women.

I dressed better, too. I wore a point collar today thinking that it was a spread collar, which is the only appropriate collar for my current outfit. I am an idiot. An idiot! I might as well walk around the office with Cheese Whiz stains from my noontime cheesesteak on my tie.

Anyhoo, what were you saying? I have such a hard time focusing on your posts. I try, because I've heard about how hilarious and erudite and wry you are. I love that type of humor! I don't always get it, but I laugh anyway. Sometimes I laugh harder the less I get it! Ha ha! Anyhoo, thanks for the response!

You could jump out of the car, go off road and bait them into running after you. It would be much more enjoyable to watch them all keel over after trying in vain to keep up with one so swift.

You can't be a straight snippy bitch. Make up your mind. You're becoming the Andy Dick of the boards.

Maybe in an Eddie Murphy, Beverly Hills Cop, wait at a stop light and go when it just turns red, kind of way.

In generic white guy voice: "Is this the man who disabled a police cruiser by putting a banana in the tailpipe?"

Two very apt overheards
 
It's like we magically came to life and jumped off this board and were overheard in NY:

#1:
Lady #1: Look at all these kids! I feel so old...I can't date in this city any more.
Lady #2: Are you kidding? Listen, honey, let me tell you...I just finished my starter marriage, and I've been dating like crazy!

--6 train


Overheard by: BBW

#2:

Girl #1: Look at my new ring! Isn't it shiny and big?
Girl #2: Omigod. When did you get it?
Girl #1: Yesterday, my manlover gave it to me.
Girl #2: "Manlover"?
Girl #1: Yeah, he's not a boy or my friend, hence manlover.

Is this new math? If he is 48, then is he lying?

Wait a sec. Now, math is not my spesh-ee-ality or anything (b/c, as we all know, math is hard), but doesn't the article say the guy is 48? Do years of difference double at some point?

Nice use of Canadian/English punctuation on National Punctuation Day. Maybe the name of the day should be changed to International Punctuation Day. Hooray!

Nice try. gwnc already told me that despite the accent and the attempts to laugh with the board Canadians at references to Canada-only commercials and chocolate bars and such, you are from Detroit, not Toronto. Next you will be changing your name to Esther and writing children's stories.

Apparently (in places that have this), if Aces Full (of 10's or higher) gets beat, there is a set Jackpot that pays out. Where she was, it was a $50k jackpot and she beat Aces Full of Kings with 4 Kings (she had a pair of Ks, other player had pair of A's, board had A and 2 K's). Person who had the bad beat got 1/2 of jackpot, she got 1/4 of jackpot and the rest of the table split the other 1/4.

Anyone ever heard of this before?
Yes. I've been at the table for a big beat jackpot, although I only pocketed about $200. I didn't remember much of a delay, though we all were happy to give a complete stranger our driver's licenses so he could fill out the IRS forms, identity theft be damned.

They're common in both brick-and-mortar and online poker rooms. Once I lost a bad beat, then didn't get the jackpot when my kicker didn't play (which is really two bad beats when you think about it.)

At lower-limit tables, say the $1/2 at Oaks, you'll often hear players begging their dealer to deal them a jackpot.

One of my favorite FBisms just got its own Wikipedia entry. Fittingly, it contains two typos and a unwarranted provincial pride.

ETA: And one grammatical error.

ETAA: Anything important happen while I was away living life? Did Slave and Paigow finally unfuck each other?

ETCGA.

No, but RT and Balt pissed Thurgreed off with TMI (or maybe it was NotEnoughInformation) about their liason, which is ironic in a way (the Thurgreed complaining about TMI bit) and, in another way, fairly unremarkable (the Thurgreed getting easily annoyed bit). How is life? Tell it I say "hello".

Yes, tell life that Ironweak says "hello." That poor miserable bastard has been chained to his desk for years, toiling away in the billable hour mines, slaving for the man, and engaging in various other overwork cliches. His eyes are bloodshot and bulging from staring at the computer screen 18-20 hours a day, and his skin has taken on a sickly greenish pallor that comes from too much flourescent light. His neck has a permanent crick from cradling the phone between his ear and shoulder on endless conference calls with dozens of spiritless, robotic lawyers who prattle on as if their sole derivation of worth comes from sharing with the group their banal and uninspired observations. Yes, heavy is the life of Ironweak, and broken is his psyche. It is a miracle that any humor at all, even his black, twisted, and world-weary brand, manages to exist in the darkness that is his soul.

Fringey and Hank? Please. Fringey and Hank throw dry cat-poo at each other in the dirty sandbox of their petty indignations, never really intending to wound and secretly angling to bed each other.

On the other hand, Flower hates me with the evil passion of a thousand burning suns and will never rest until I am destroyed, utterly and completely, along with everything I stand for. But there can be only one victor in this cosmic death struggle, and his Götterdämmerung is closer than he suspects.
