TM's boss can thank me later for getting his mind back to figuring out who has the best ratio.

Aw shit, my second guess was a winch. Third guess was Bigfoot. Fourth guess was a UFO, and the fifth guess was Hank's sense of humor.

I'll tell you another thing, these people keep "reclaiming land" from the sea and moving their borders closer and closer to us and our allies. I'd keep an eye on them if i was in the governement still. WTTW.

His "lifelong dream?" Sad, but I guess he can die happy.

What's more annoying is those fucking bubble packs all the sudafed is sold in, instead of the nice, convenient 50-tab bottle.

Did you forget to include the word "single-serving" after the word "convenient"?

I couldn't stand being a lake that had water moccasins; I couldn't just enjoy the ride.

I really don't see how people live where there are venomous snakes.

on the other hand Venice's canals have no snakes, but sewage does go straight into them, so that dago is water sking in shit water. Coltrane, wanna bet he doesn't take a fake fall?

Due to a copperhead incident when I was ten, I have horrible snake phobia. Yet, somehow I managed to make peace with the fact that I live in snake country. I just loudly announce my presence (much to the amusement of anyone human (and possibly canine) around me) whenever I go into what I consider snake territory (i.e. the outdoors in the country).

Some scientists yesterday debunked the ratio theory.... Is Thurgreed too moving on?

I complete that assignment before noon each day. In fact, I've already moved on to figuring out who is dumber: Plaxico Burress, a professional athlete who accidentally shot himself in the leg in a night club while already injured, involving other teammates, changing the location of the accident to Applebees (like that helps), getting the club worker in trouble for allowing him in with a gun, getting the hospital worker in trouble for presumably bribing them to keep them from reporting it to the police and for being an all-around douchebag or the cop who took a loaded gun to a classroom to demonstrate safety, shot himself in front of the class and continued with the demonstration, limping around while trying to bring out another fucking gun!:

Indeed. Even though I can't see that post, metaphysically I sense its good tidings and reciprocate. The corner office dwellers need to stick together, albeit ignoringly so.

Debunked? I don't think so.

I think this last quote is a leap, but, in short...

Translation: Thurgreed is not moving on.

Isn't that really just a question of who has the stronger union rep?
