“Senators and their staff members have been deprived of sleep and are subsisting on takeout pad Thai, cafeteria panini and office cookies”. Oh the humanity.
“When you have both extremes saying they’re unhappy, I think it’s a fair compromise,” Mrs. Boxer said.
Way to set the bar high Barb!
I drew a ‘linguistic Venn Diagram’, once. Oh, wait, that was an ‘oral Venn Diagram’. My mistake.
[re=483534]tootsieroll[/re]: So since no one liked the Stone Roses second album, does that mean it was actually good?
[re=483532]x111e7thst[/re]: …and they have had no time for the gym.
“Have they no refuge or resource?” cried Scrooge.
“Are there no prisons?” said the Spirit, turning on him for the last time with his own words. “Are there no workhouses?”
The bell struck twelve.
Thanks, Dickens:

[re=483537]Mahousu[/re]: That’s the rule. Goes for Ishtar and Waterworld, too. The Spice Girls movie, on the other hand, was a big hit among the 8 year old crowd, so that means that Spiceworld was a still dud.
Those poor Republican Senators. After all their hard work delaying the healthcare bill as long as they can, they get repaid by having to work near Xmas because the bill hasn’t passed yet. How could the Republicans in the Senate be so mean to the Republican Senators?
[re=483536]TGY[/re]: You know who else drew Venn diagrams? Hitler. Just sayin’. Also.

[re=483537]Mahousu[/re]: More like when my kids are fighting over a toy and I take it away so neither one can play with it.
“Happy NOW????
Rainman died? Oh fuck. I feel horrible for his poor father… Here is a really good PBS program about him: http://tiny.cc/Mx845 Very sad.
Dear Republic Senators, obstructionism has consequences. That is all.
“The bill that stole Christmas”? Good luck, Washington Post. You’ll never get that off the ground, since it remains in the shadow of 1995′s infamous “The Gingrinch that Stole Christmas” meme, which lives on in our hearts today.
Oh the humanity.
Indeed. Let me know when they’re cleaning their own toilets and mopping their own floors.
Here’s some good, common-sense, intelligent advice for everyone on the planet: Stop using Twitter, and never, ever again post anything on Twitter, and stop using this stupid, juvenile application for the rest of eternity.
We’ll all be better off for it.
Thank you.
[re=483699]thefrontpage[/re]: My plan to stop Twitter is to make it so that everything on it is stupid and useless. Then everyone will lose interest in it and stop using it. My plan is working, so be patient.
Godspeed, Mr. Peek.
May you be greeted at the pearly gates by 246 toothpick-thin virgins, with 4 more waiting on deck.
