Is ok an abbreviation? for what? I always thought it was "ok", no periods. Or full stops, if you will.

Coltrane, I see you're still posting, so, where'd you put your laptop so that it didn't fall?

I don't know what the fuck you're trying to say, but it is quite stylish. Nicely done!

This guy is protesting that divorced dads should have more rights relative to their kids. that is, some court decided his kids might do better with him having limited or no access to them. As understood, he is trying to challenge this decision by climbing onto a ledge at Buckingham Palace.

As advocates, please identify problems with his approach.

It's a humorous abbreviation for "all correct". Once again, you've missed the irony...

What you quoted isn't accurate to my original post. Do you work for 60 minutes?

Question for people who have been pregnant or intimate with same
 
Baby is due in about a month. Would a pre-delivery massage be a good baby shower gift? Would you have gone to any ole masseuse or are there specialists who work on pregnant women?

Hank, this is a good example. I have tried for several minutes to figure out what you are trying to say in this post and I have come up with several possible meanings, two of which are more plausible than the others. One of the two is quite amusing. But, I cannot fully enjoy your post because of the ambiguity.

1. England is essentially conservative. I think his chances at custody were really doomed by that whole Robin thing.

2. Do his kids even know that he's Batman? I mean, what a shocking thing to find out while watching the news. I hope he warned them.

3. He needs to stop slouching. It makes him look less super-heroey.

4. One protestor, Batman or not, is sort of a weak fart into a strong wind. Couldn't he have convinced Spiderman, Catwoman, Superman, or ANYBODY to come along and lend support?

Have you not learned from the Paigow? Since you miss her so much, you should understand that Hank's style of writing takes a page from her book. That is: (1) write poorly enough so that your post can be interpreted many different ways; (2)(a) whichever way someone interprets your post, claim that he whiffed and that you clearly meant the other; or (2)(b) wait for someone to point out a witty interpretation of your post that you obviously did not intend and claim it as your intent; (3) claim this type of wit as your invention.

I've been intimate with a pregnant person, but, for the life of me, I can't figure out why you think I would know the answer to this question.

Definitely get a specialist--they need a special table so there's some place for the belly to go, plus they need to know which pressure points to avoid so as not to bring on premature labor, etc.

After dinner parties, it is said Picasso would have Guernica wheeled out for his guests to enjoy. Some saw only a mishmash of shapes. Some simply saw the meanings they had read various critics had ascribed in the art press. Still others saw new meaning, deeper significance and multi layered relevance.

Of course all of this flowed from that which Picasso had put down on canvas. I guess you wouold say this was because he painted "poorly."
