No, when she saw me in the shower she said, "oh look, it's like a dick, only smaller."

How in the fuck did Balls miss Abe Vogoda's birthday last month. I was stuck in a pagoda with Tritia Toyota, we were watching Abe Vigoda and everything will be fine. This is why I miss the old Vegas:

Anyone here a veteran of "The AirTrain" from Jamaica to JFK? I prefer riding to JFK in your mom's minivan.

Is non-dairy creamer (the powder crap) any less nutritious than putting milk in your coffee?

Has anyone ever watched the tv series "The Dead Zone". I remember reading the book many many years ago and recently I saw Season One on sale for 14.99.
I'm working through season one of "the Shield".... i like the show. The only minor compaint that I have is that it's 4X3. Seems like such waste but I imagine that everything was 4X3 when it was on the air.
I hesitate to ask this here but I've been trying to avoid spoilers so I haven't been looking around too much. How many seasons did "The Shield" go for?

The final season premieres in September, and I think this is 5 or 6.

I think the advantage to the powdered stuff is that it doesn't go bad.

Giambi is right - it can't spoil.
There's no calcuim, little vitamins.
No lactose.
Here's more info:
Sweet, smooth, and potentially explosive.
• Corn syrup solids: Corn syrup is, for the most part, glucose. When it’s dehydrated to about 10 percent water, the resulting granules are basically sugar.
• Vegetable oil solids: Powdered creamer has to get its creamy texture somewhere. Coconut and palm kernel oils are among the heavier food oils and are added – in all their partially hydrogenated glory – for velvety smoothness. Because they add up to less than 0.5 gram of trans fat, the label can claim “zero grams trans fat.”
• Sodium caseinate: Casein is a protein found in cow’s milk, thus making this nondairy product off-limits to vegans. Officially, it’s kosher, but don’t go mixing it with meat. (Note to self: no more ground beef in your coffee.)
• Dipotassium phosphate: Also called phosphoric acid, dipotassium phosphate provides the tang in Coca-Cola. It helps us digest sugars, fats, and proteins, which happen to be nondairy creamer’s top three ingredients. Oh, it’s also a pesticide and a major ingredient in fertilizer.
• Monoglycerides and diglycerides: These single- or double-chain fatty acids end in a glycerol molecule. The glycerol end attaches to water, and the fatty acid end to fats and oils, making these substances gentle mediators between the creamer and the coffee.
• Sodium alumionosilicate: Known to potters as albite feldspar (a ceramic glaze and strengthening agent), sodium alumionosilicate is used in foods as an anticaking agent. Powdered nondairy creamer is flammable, and if it gets too anticaked (dispersed in the air like a cloud), it can explode. Just one spark, and – kaboom!
• Artificial flavors: Since glucose, palm kernel oil, and sodium caseinate don’t really taste like cream, artificial flavors are required. Manufacturers tend to keep exactly what they use a secret. Of course, these flavors can sometimes come in very noncream varieties like hazelnut, amaretto, or mocha.
• Annato: This natural pigment from a tropical plant provides a yellow color, so the creamer looks more, you know, dairy-ish.
That info is credited to Patrick Di Justo

Hey guys I need some help.
Today is draft/auction day in my MLB pool and we are scheduled to start the draft later tonight. So I went online to start setting everything up and it turns that Yahoo! no longer offers private chat rooms.... you can't even create a chat room anymore.
I've got people from all over the world in this pool, so I need a site where I can :
1- set up a chatroom (private if possible) or 2- set up a private shoutbox
it would be perfect if it doesn't require a membership or a fee...... Any ideas?

try making a myspace group
you can limit the members, and there is a message board (and i believe you can create a chat room)

OK, I'll bite: What's with the sudden fascination with tug-of-war pictures?

When I decorate the top of the page, I just go for random pics that mean absolutely nothing. So I threw a tug o war pic on the top the other day. A couple of nights later, I noticed the space to the right of it, and decided it would be amusing to balance it out with imaginary "foes" to the guys pulling from the left. Silly stuff, yes, but I was bored.
Balls put a capper on things by putting up a full shot, I believe he is in there somewhere. Thats Balls' work. But it all started innocently enough.

Exactly. I thought Tom's idea was brilliant, and I remembered the picture above from days of yore. Unfortunately, I am not as visible as I remembered, but it does cap off a very nice theme for the week.

All good. Wasn't bitching and moaning (for a change!), just curious.

We lost that tug of war. I'm actually still bitter about it. They had more people.

That should not matter, the number of people. Its all a matter of torque.

Here's a question. If there are Rich Little types out there that can mimic voices so darn well, how come none of them try singing like Frank Sinatra to sell records?

With the extra people, they had weight and strength on their side. Look at the picture. They already had a bunch of really big people. Add the extra bodyweight, and yeah, they had torque. Not to mention, no one wanted to be the anchor on my side, so I had to do it. But the damn thing was rigged.
Some old wounds run really deep.
As for Sinatra, there are types that mimic him. You should go to Vegas and see a Rat Pack show. They are outstanding. But I don't think a Sinatra clone could succeed as that because he would be considered a Sinatra clone.

That Hitler crack, and the fact that there's an AI contestant named "Castro" reminded me of something I was thinking about the other day.
Obviously Jason shares a family name with an unpopular dictator. I'm sure there are plenty of Italians with the name Mussolini. I've known myself a fair amount of Indians and other flavors of middle easterners named "Hussein."
Has anyone ever known anyone with the last name "Hitler?" Or has pretty much everyone with that last name changed it?
Can you Imagine?

My Name is Bob Hitler. I would very much like to submit my resume for consideration............"

Cho, Castro is a common enough sobriquet that I nary gave it a second pop when I heard it the first time. Who even equates Castro with Cuba?

Tecate is also the Spanish term for a heroin addict
Sheriff 1. I never go by "Use by Date" I've had milk that was 3 weeks past due and it was still good. 2. Cut out the seeds and clean them, then bake them in the oven with some salt and eat them, there quite good. 3. just eat the meat of the sandwich, the bread is probably mush by now
BTW: Hi everyone, thanks for invite Sheriff
