I see the guy also asked for PALIN16 and PALIN12 (or at least claims he did). Depending on how he meant that, Willow and Piper might want to steer clear of Nevada.

I wouldn't be able to tell them apart except that McCooter or whatever was in favor of a tax write-off for vet bills. A memorable position for a Great Dane owner.

Apropos of nothing but I was once run down by a Plymouth Valiant. It's true.

I was 4.

I think this is the second time I've seen you use "botard" today and I can't help but wonder if (a) I missed a meme or something, which is completely possible or (b) this is a reference to BOCES, which seems equally possible?

Or that guy (other than Huntsman) that nobody's ever heard of--Cooter McCreedy, Custer McCoon, something like that. It'd be fun for him to weigh in with some epic bit of public stupidity.

Interesting. We used it as kids with the same basic meaning, too. It came from BOCES (I believe the acronym is Board of Cooperative Educational Services), which is a NYS entity that works with public schools to provide special education and vocational training. Each location serves multiple schools to provide services that individual districts couldn't reasonably provide for small pools of students. While they do also provide a handful of other offerings, like gifted classes, they were known for the less mensa-oriented pursuits...hence botard. While my college admissions might have suffered, I've always wished I could have taken auto mechanics...it'd be nice to be the chick who can pop the hood and say more than, "yep, looks like an engine."

"I hope he doesn't mind flushing money down the toilet."

I'm betting he's contributed to Palin's <strike>vacation</strike> campaign, so the answer is clearly "flush away!"

Hanging around with has-beens. As in "Let's Go-Pal'in around with Sarah".

Old joke: What do John Kerry and pantyhose have in common? They both irritate bush.

He doesn't know why "Bush" was denied?

He should ask if "QUITR" is still available.
