On the other hand, Padma's tits were even better than usual.

The hospice nurses were pretty, so I suppose that part was good.

I don't have any short-term plans. I'll stick around here for a bit to help my mom adjust, for sure. Shortly before my brother's Final Descent a former colleague had contacted me about a job that paid really well, the first of its kind for me. I had to turn it down. Given how difficult things had been for me for a time, that was pretty hard to do.

I'm thinking Dallas in the near-future. That doesn't thrill me. It kind of revulses me. Baby steps . . .

If it helps, I think Hank has an opening for someone to carry his bags when he's in East Texas on his big deal patent litigation, and he pays a boatload! I know it's not much fun, and the boss is a prick, but I don't think Les is hiring and even if he were, I don't think it would pay much.

I am very sorry about your brother, and know you've got some good memories of him to cherish. I've never understood the dignity in dying crap myself.

I never know what to say, so I'll just say, sorry, man.

I'm sorry for your loss. No matter how much pain he was in, it still sucks for the survivors. You have my sympathies.

There is no dignity in dying. It's painful and it's messy, and sometimes it takes too goddamn long.

Oh, man. So sorry. All I can say is, you are a good person and good brother for being there. Hug the rest of your family. Get some peace.

In Middle English the word could be used as a standard term for the female genitalia, in a manner that was quite matter-of-fact. The earliest instance of the word recorded in the Oxford English Dictionary is actually from the name of a 13th-century London street, Gropecuntelane. The name appears to have been quite literal, and there was at least one other red-light district of the same name, in Oxford. One of the next recorded uses of the word comes from a circa-1400 surgery manual and uses the word much like vagina might be used today: “In women the neck of the bladder is short, and is made fast to the cunt.” Others have noted that some people in the 13th and 14th centuries also had the word in their names, in a way that seems unlikely today: Some men and women at that time included Bele Wydecunthe, Robert Clevecunt, and Gunoka Cuntles. Indeed, as Geoffrey Hughes wrote in his book Swearing, there were many such colorful names, but “the days when the dandelion could be called the pissabed, a heron could be called a shitecrow and the windhover could be called the windfucker have passed away with the exuberant phallic advertisement of the codpiece.”
http://www.slate.com/articles/life/e...offensive.html

I'd really like to see a windfucker.
