Discuss.

Point of clarification, love. It's "Hank's wife", not just anyone's wife.

Or maybe the lesbian sex in the stall while others waited in line.

This past week has had two of the all time great sitcom episodes, between the double Arrested Development (could Dave Thomas and Charlize Theron be any funnier?) and last week's The Office episode, "The Fight," which was as perfect as a sitcom episode can get.

Favorite moment from "The Fight" -- When Michael is about to challenge Dwight to a fight, Jim walks behind Michael doing the snapping-thing from West Side Story.

And on Arrested Development, after Bob Loblaw's line "this room may be equipped with a listening device," did everyone catch the boom mic coming into the frame? Funny funny funny.

i'm surprised by how funny, well written, and well-cast the office is. it's hard for me to watch b/c it still hurts to belly laugh.

Not if I were sick or a direct family member were sick, because either way I'd be very focused on putting my energy on having them or me be in the surviving part, but with generalized worry for people I don't know as well or the kind of third-hand support type stuff. Managing expectations. We all know that even if there's a 90% complete remission rate, any particular person might die -- it's not like every person ends up 90% alive or whatever.

But whatever. The only medical people in my family are an aunt who was a public health nurse but now has Alzheimers, and aunt (not blood related) who is a GP, and a cousin who is a GP, but the only one I've seen in the last 15 (or possibly even 20) years is the Alzheimers one. Haven't gathered a lot of wisdom from them. What can I say, we're proles.

Old Gold was always secretely marketed to gays. By the 50s they were actually hiring fucking Liberace for ads. This ad is saying the guy (look at him- seriously) found his "Queen"- something phallic that could still wear pretty shoes.

Thanks for the tranlation, because I really didn't get it. The only twins I knew were brothers, looked nothing like the other and they hated each other most of their lives.

Is he any different from the piano-playing Liberace?

I don't know that I could actually be with someone who would tenderize children with a truck. It seems unsanitary.

I heard that sometimes he did both activities at once. Not unlike Career Woman Barbie.

Anyone know how breast cancer of the ducts rates, severity-wise? Any better or worse depending on whether it's a recurrence?

tm

According to my health expert, ductal cysts and growths are considered by many oncologists to be pre-cancerous, and the cure rate is very high. They frequently recur, but as long as they're being watched, they present relatively low risk.

PARLAY the following home teams on the money line:

1. New York Giants over Minnesota
2. Chicago Bears over SF
3. Atlanta Falcons over GB
4. Carolina Panthers over NYJ

This bet pays slightly better than even money. I think it's very likely to win.

Too obvious to actually work. The Bears will never cover the spread, in other news.
