Tonya Harding got married?

Please don't tell me you're a member of the League of Rich Fat Furry Ugly Bald Guys Who Truly Believe Women Are Physically Attracted To Them.

I am a regularly-haired cat (face/limbs/chest/head, but not back). And no - no balding at all. Quite to contrary I've a habit of wearing three day facial hair shadow and letting my hair get too long sometimes.

I just figured O had a huge cock because he was so ugly that the money alone couldn't make up for unpleasantness of having to look at his face during sex.

S(I sometimes think, however, that I'd trade my appearance for being rich, fat, bald and furry)D

with 2 tattoos like that she probably shouldn't be wearing white at all, but certainly not something off the shoulder

And, other than the wedding dress, this differs from a night on Crown street how?

Has this been discussed already? I think she looks cute enough, but the dress does nothing for her, although the fashion police seem to disagree with me.

She is in serious danger of becoming the oldest looking 20-something since that Trumpette skizzank Marla Maples was on the scene.

Tragically, they have cancelled Roseanne's cooking show (although her reality show about making the cooking show has not yet been cancelled) because she claims she has to have a hysterectomy. But being a big fan of hers, and putting aside how my heart reaches out to her suffering from that psychological disorder (of which I forget the name) where people undergo needless surgery, I am hopeful that she will be able to get down under 200 pounds (of scar tissue) when the loss of her womb is combined with the prior loss of her stomach. While this may make Tom Arnold's jokes on "I Love the 70's" a little less funny to future generations because they won't get the references, Roseanne's health comes first. At least she was able to pass her wonderful genes on too five lovely children before the regretable need to excise her uterus.

Less (remember the Roseanne of "It's very, very important to me to do a show on raising children as normal people in kind of a crazy world, teaching children about responsibility," not the Roseanne of "Experts say you should never hit your children in anger. When is a good time? When you're feeling festive?") inSF

BEIRUT, Lebanon — And you thought "American Idol" fans were excitable. They've got nothing on the millions of Arabs backing their national favorites on the show's Middle East knockoff.

When the Lebanese frontrunner was eliminated in the semifinals last week, angry fans in the audience pelted each other with chairs or anything else they could find, and the two remaining contestants fainted. Scores of people took to the streets in Lebanon to protest.

You can't remember Baron Munchausen's syndrome?* Somewhere, Terry Gilliam's heart is breaking. Again.

*Confidential to bridge of love: No, I didn't Google that, you motherfucking punk. I come from a long line of run-of-the-mill hypochondriacs who wanted to upcode up their diagnoses, social climbers that they are. It's the closest we'll come to royalty.

Not to belittle your funny post, but what does "upcode up" mean? Is it like upgrade? The jargon is over my head.

Edited to note that I didn't mean to say "belittle" - I meant to say "detract from" - I don't know why I typed that - like a freudian slip or something.

Upcoding is a form of medical insurance fraud. Medical providers are supposed to fill charts and forms with industry standard numeric codes to describe conditions and prescribed treatment procedures for insurance purposes. Different procedure codes result in different reimbursement rates. An unscrupulous doctor might "upcode" a dry hacking cough to bronchitis, or an ace bandage to a walking cast, in order to obtain more favorable insurance reimbursement.

Sorry, I thought this was widely known.

The "upcode up" part was probably a typo. I'm not sure, because I'm marginally more sober than when I posted previously.

Docs and other medical providers use CPT codes (standardized numerical codes) to bill for patient services (this all started with Medicare/Medicaid). The CPT codes tell insurers what services were provided. Misuse of these standardized codes to obtain more money than is allowed by law is commonly termed “upcoding” or “upcharging.” The more serious the medical conditions, the more medical conditions listed as being present or treated, and the more extensive the services rendered, the greater the payment. So, if a doc upcodes your condition from "gassy" to "minor cardial infarction" he gets more money and you, the hypochondriac, are made happy by your greater standing in the disease community.

If it wasn't for the fact that it was on E!'s website, I'd have to say that the photo was a bad Photoshop cut and paste job. Her head looks like it was pasted on to a fat ballerina's body.

Thrasher, right now I feel closer to you than I have ever felt.

Now every time she sees you on the bus she'll think "that's the cumstain or bladder problem guy" and you'll have to try to find a spot on the bus far away from her. God forbid you get on and the seat next to her is the only one open...

S(The only thing worse I could imagine would be to "gamble and lose" on the bus/train)D

Well, if the cute girl is smiling a little but, suggest to her that you both depart at the next stop and that you and she can add to youur crusty collection.
