PS the lying down Paigow was to distinguish from regular Paigow, and because I figured out how to do it. I couldn't do it on an angle though :mad:
Tell the little fucker not to say that shit around your house, but don't get all judgmental... The kid gets the shit at home, and he'll tell his folks, who'll in turn defensively give you a face full of shit for "meddling" to cover their own asses. But they can't give you any shit for telling their kid what he can and can't spew in your house. Its your house.

I went to check and see how our kids are doing. Only two Texans out so far. And fuck me, those are hard words.

I wonder if they're handing out Xanax to prevent fainting after last year's Drama!

You are the penultimate mandumbest if I am in a position to make that judgment. I would like to see some mixed doubles with sunny and nfh at the Dumb Open. How do you look in light blue pastel? I wouldnt know.

How is it possible that this kid has "spare time" doing anything but memorizing dictionaries?

Actually, only three Texans out of 17 are left. Your Indian children suck at basically the same as the national average (51 kids out of 273 left).

And, because I know you care, I have sent an e-mail to my bookie inquiring about whether they will put odds up.

I had a boss who would tell racist and homophobic jokes at client lunches. What do you do in situations like that?

Just curious.
I used to work some with a more senior associate who would make such jokes. After the third or fourth time, starting to feel complicit, I told her that I thought the joke was tasteless and offensive. She stammered a little bit, told me that she was from New York City, where people have lower standards I guess, and from then on avoided me as much as possible. Which was pretty much an excellent outcome.

Something about that kid's smirk makes me worry that if he loses this competition, he will find spare time to amass an arsenal of weapons and homemade explosives in his room.

huh. I used to be around someone who would say racist shit. When I pointed out that it was offensive, he asked "why, you're not black" I should have just said that it doesn't matter what I am, but instead I pointed out that members of my family are black. I guess I just felt that would personalize the point for him, but I felt like a pussy for doing it. Like if members of my family weren't black, I wouldn't care. Anyhoo, it shut him up, so I suppose that is good.

I do the same thing with idiots who tell gay jokes. And don't get me started on Aristocratic Mexicans.

Which is why I'm wondering what his middle name might be. Don't all those serial killers use their middle names?

The fact that he is from Lowell is only adding to the creepy factor. He's on to the Round 5 tomorrow.

Does anyone actually know anyone who makes disability jokes? Or is it just too shameful and embarrassing to pull off in real life?

You know, I take it back. It's not nice to draw conclusions about someone based bad hair and an impending unibrow.

It would be kinda cool to be an old, rich guy who just keeps building up his own personal army. I think I would run off and buy some island for my tribe. Import a few member of the outside gene pool for flava.
