Why do gays smoke so much
baltassoc 2:51
Why do gays smoke so much? Slate asks. http://slate.msn.com/id/2086565/ And I wonder. Actually, the answer they give - no kids - seems a no brainer. But the article is interesting anyway, as is this one: Do daughters cause divorce? http://slate.msn.com/id/2089142/ |

quote: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Originally posted by evenodds This re line is driving me crazy. A club I frequented in my single days played "Let Me Clear My Throat" at least once a night for years. I can smell the stale cigarette smoke and the spilled crown from across the years. Edited to add to the soundtrack of my life: DJ Kool and David Allan Coe's "You Never Even Call Me By My Name" from my barhopping days. The Coppertank used to play the song every night and everyone would just stand around and sing. Good times. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I heart evenodds, not for the first time. For those of you who don't know it, here's the lowdown. The song starts with a great 3 minute C&W song with the amazing hook "well you don't have to call me darling, darling/you never even call me by my name." The song then breaks into Coe talking about how proud he was to have written the perfect country and western song, and he called up his friend who told him that it wasn't the perfect country and western song, because it didn't have anything about trucks, or trains, or prisons, or mama, or getting drunk. "[speaking]So I sat down and wrote another verse to this song, and I'd like to play it for you now. The last verse goes something like this: [singing] Well I was drunk, the day my mom got out of prison So I went to pick her up in the rain But before I could get to the station in my pickup truck She got run over by a danged ole train . . ." |

Pal, this show had plenty of funny moments and one of the all time great sitcom romances. It had great characters in its time. You apparnetly have seen too many reruns so that its gotten stale, or are still watching after the characters have gotten to the end of their arc (and I hvanet seen it in two years so I am not saying they have). But this show was very funny for a lot of people. Just bc someone is too erudite , or fancies himself that way, does not mean that someone should think his special little brain is wired the same way as those of us Friends loving and laughing masses. Maybe Bilmore has room in his kayak for that ibg head of yours? -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- How do you reconcile this paragraph with all that shit you pop about Scrubs?

quote: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Originally posted by LessinSF Sort of, but with far more subtlety. The four questions at the Passover seder all stem from one question - "Why is this night different from all other nights?" Thus, LFM was jibing me by saying how would my Ahnold costume be different from my behavior any other night. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Now this explains it. I kept trying to see what in the world it had to do with Passover. I was thinking maybe LFM was mistaking Passover for Purim (when you DO where costumes, for those of you wondering what I'm talking about). The questions [imagine I'm nodding sagely here...]; ahaa. Very nice. Thank you. |

I've started watching the new Survivor, which is the first one since the first one of which I've watched any. This lawyer guy (I think that his name is Andrew) really annoys me. He's everything that is wrong with a lot of lawyers and has all the qualities that make people hate lawyers. Me, included. I always hate it when someone tries to lead something or take something over without any legitimacy or skill. Eveyone in that tribe is spineless loser that they can't even win a single challenge. They've had people kicked off three weeks in a row. I'm sure that, when they join tribes, that tool will be working the other side, too. I think that they will see right through him, too. I especially love the way he spins everything as an advantage: "We're not comfortable over here right now, so we want it more." Give me a break. No wonder America has such a poor opnion of lawyers. I don't remember much at all about Brobeck Stacy. Was she a dislikeable person, too? |

bennifer update
Paigow 3:41
not to steal NFH's schtick but from PEoplenews Elusive beast 'alive and well' It's round 349 of the Bennifer wedding media circus and Ben Affleck has waded in, all guns blazing, to insist nuptials with J.Lo are still on. Following weeks of speculation, the shampoo-loving actor has maintained he and Jen are still together and they will get married. He also quashed rumours that their recent visit to a courthouse was for purposes more sinister than obtaining a gun licence. 'When we get married we're not gonna do it in a courthouse,' he ranted, adding the following gem: 'We've both been working so hard. We just want to get some peace and quiet. We're just hanging out, doing our thing like we've been doing for a long time now.' Laid-back Ben seems conveniently to have forgotten the couple's initial wedding tack, ditching peace and quiet in favour of fuelling publicity for current flick Gigli, which nothing on earth - least of all a high-profile wedding - could save. 'Brad Pitt and Jennifer Aniston don't get hounded like this,' Affleck griped. No Ben, they don't, but then neither court publicity so assiduously. Brad once famously stated that couples who star together on the big screen are asking for trouble. The only time they've worked together was when Brad guested on Friends in what was a very tongue-in-cheek performance. Ben and Jen will almost certainly be taking this advice, albeit against their will, for given the slating Gigli received at the hands of fans and critics alike it is unlikely that too many scripts are clogging up the Bennifer mail box. Good thing too. |

We all know that, no matter how the current health-pundits attempt to brain wash us via badly-conceived media blitz, smoking is cool. Unhealthy, unclean, but undeniably cool.

let me clear my throat
Thurgreed 4:27
quote: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Originally posted by SlaveNoMore Apparently, I'm not the onlyone Note the statistic comparing McNabb to Brad Johnson. And call any number of Eagles fans. And for such a talented athlete as McNabb, he sure can't get that team to score, can he? -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Lies, damn lies and whatever link you just posted. First, go ask any head coach in the league or better yet, anyone who knows anything about football who they would rather have, McNabb or Johnson and you'll probably eat that link without hotsauce. Put Keyshawn on the Eagles and watch McNabb's numbers soar. And I can't believe you took this guy seriously after he said, "But McNabb has also been sacked more frequently than Johnson—more than once, on average, per game, which negates much of the rushing advantage." Excuse me? A sack counts for negative rushing yards. Therefore, this tremendous negative is incorporated into his rushing stats. Besides, I would argue that a high number of sacks is usually the fault of the offensive line and most likely the receivers who might not be capable of getting open. Either way, the comment is stupid. Then he follows up with this: "So far, no black quarterback has been able to dominate a league in which the majority of the players are black. To pretend that many of us didn't want McNabb to be the best quarterback in the NFL because he's black is absurd." This is fucking comical. I'm black and I don't give a shit if McNabb is considered the best quarterback in the league. Where does he get this crap? I want to see Vick dominate the league because he's exciting. He's like the next version of McNabb. And I like him because he's exciting not black. Finally, the guy is an Eagles fan which puts him, at best, in the irrational camp. Try these quotes on for size from people who actually know what the fuck they're talking about : 'Dallas Cowboys coach Bill Parcells said Limbaugh's opinion doesn't "represent how the majority -- the high majority" of people involved in the game for a long time think. "I know it doesn't represent anything near what I think," he said.' and 'Washington Redskins coach Steve Spurrier was far from agreeing with the overrated part of Limbaugh's opinion. "They didn't give him all that money because he's an average quarterback," Spurrier said. "He's one of the best in the league."' I can smell you're comeback already: "Well, these two coaches must be cowed by the media." Right. You know, if all it took was pure stats to be one of the best, you would be screaming that we should have traded Jeter and signed Rodriguez or Garciaparra already. McNabb is an elite quarterback. You know it. I know it. The media know it. Limbaugh knows it. You're just throwing a fit because someone got in trouble for saying something about race and you're all upset over the PCing of the world. And of course you're not the only one saying it. That's to be fully expected. But surely that doesn't mean you're right. If Andy Reid was black and Donovan McNabb was white, best believe Limbaugh would be spouting the same crap about Reid not winning the big game, being overrated, not belonging in the head coach fraternity because he was a black hire, etc. And you'd be citing articles backing him up. But I don't see anyone saying, "Reid doesn't use McNabb correctly. It's time for him to step down in favor of a black head coach who understands how to use an athletic quarterback and with whom he would have a better rapport." But this isn't the year 3003, so I guess I'll wait for that. quote: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Originally posted by SlaveNoMore Yes. Never won the big game. Vinny Testeverde is now an all-time passing leader. You wanna call him one of the greatest quarterbacks? -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- That argument is just plain dumb. You can't equate longevity with greatness. Your analogy doesn't apply. quote: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Originally posted by SlaveNoMore I sound like a complete jackass for merely pointing out that FACT that the NFL makes an express issue out of race by mandating quotas under penalty of fine? I didn't even express my opinion on the topic. What the fuck is wrong with you, dude? -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- You sound like a jackass because requiring teams to interview black coaches has nothing to do with the media's perception when it comes to McNabb. You see race, so automatically you bring it up. Next you'll say, that it's the same problem because the NFL is trying to appease the press and the Jesse Jacksons of the world by (1) pushing black coaches on owners and (2) pushing black quarterbacks on fans. But as far as I can see, the owners are still free to hire whoever they want (and they do) and the NFL and the media spend more time pushing Joey Harrington (the virtuoso, clean-cut, all-American white boy next door) down my throat than most other quarterbacks (Vick excluded). quote: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Originally posted by SlaveNoMore Why go through the motions of interviewing someone you don't intend to hire? -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- So you get familiar with the motions. So you expose yourself to intelligent black coaches who answer your questions better than the guy you've already set your mind on. So you can see what kind of run defense he's planning on instituting so you can say to yourself, "That would work, how come no one else thought of that?" So the next time you're looking for someone your mind will be a little more open. It's not all a media-PC-fix on the NFL's part. I actually think it's a good idea. quote: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Originally posted by SlaveNoMore I think its atrocious that Chris Chambliss and Willie Randolph haven't made head coach yet. Said it before and I'll say it again. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Great. I'm sure the (what is it...2?) black managers (out of 30) agree with you. quote: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Originally posted by SlaveNoMore At first I thought it was an idiotic hire, until someone pointed out to me that hes a perfect fit for the football watching demographic -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- That would make him an idiotic hire.
