My broadband connection not working properly tonight: first there was no connection at all, now it's there but functioning at old fashioned dial-up speed, with most websites inaccessible apart from MF

lunch and dinner today is going to be sub-standard "Roast turkey with all the festive trimming"

Yes, I would not recommend smell, touch or taste when it comes to old cock selection. Opinions differ though. Adam 2/3/05

The phrase "Straw man argument". Is this very popular in the East Coast of the USA or am I just imagining it?

The darkness drops again; but now I know
That twenty centuries of stony sleep
Were vexed to nightmare by a rocking cradle,
And what rough beast, its hour come round at last,
Slouches towards Bethlehem to be born,
and sets a food discussion site?

I quite like that phrase when it's used by someone who knows what it is.

Thieves, arsonists and deserters.

Damn you and your ad hominem attacks or is this a non sequitar? Looks like I am in danger of reductio ad absurdum due to my argumentum ad ignorantiam based on my limited knowledge of Logical Fallacies. Potentially this is a Hasty Generalisation and maybe I should Appeal to Authority befores this becomes a Circular Argument or worse I break into False Analogys.

Annoying as it is, it sounds less weedy that "I didn't say that".

I recall that fella making a lot of real estate transactions in my real property class in law school. He's not to be trusted.

Oh yeah, my annoyance today: People participating in an activity that they do not enjoy just so they can complain about said activity.

The wife eating lunch at Jean-George while I'm slaving over a hot MRI scanner.

Not that I was because the bloody subject didn't turn up so I could have gone.

But, then again, she didn't enjoy it very much.

Got frost bite on my fingers while trying to refill windshield washer fluid in Barre, Vermont during 15 degree and snow. Didn't want to ruin beautiful italian suede gloves. So it took twice as long.

Probably ruined wearing snazzy interview suit and snazzy Coach flats in gas station snow muck.

Oh yeah, and exams.

dude. next time you've got an open MRI, let me know. A good hypochondriac like me would love to give the innards a good one-two-three to see that everything is hunky and dory.
