Eleusis January 2, 2004, 8:32pm 2. A mexican guy wants a job, and his interviewer says he’ll hire him if he can use these three words in a sentence: green, pink, and yellow. :yawn: Eleusis January 2, 2004, 8:33pm 3.

The mom freaked in a very big way and I was persona non-grata in the house after that. As far as seeing adult genetilia I had accidentally bumped into my parents a few weeks prior to the episode with the girl which was where I got the idea.

There are only commonly used definitions and non-standard ones. Via Reddit, and other sources: “If you wish to converse with me,” said Voltaire, “define your terms.”. How many a debate would have been deflated into a paragraph if the disputants had dared to define their terms! This is the alpha and omega of logic, the heart and soul of ...

On the surface, she appears to be utterly incompetent as an attorney; (in)famously doing things like neglecting to request a jury trial for Trump’s New York civil fraud case, and if a tithe of the allegations against her are true, she appears not to have a shred of integrity.

So, the SDMB Big League, run by SenorBeef, is changing to an auction draft this year, and there are one or two people who don’t like the idea. I thought that, to accommodate those people, and to give other folks a chance to play some FF, it might be worth trying to set up a new league with the same settings as last year’s Big League. That would mean a regular snake draft rather than an ...

My own formulation for this decidedly non-MPP topic is simple. The hard right draws entirely from the cowards. They fear anything slightly different from their own narrow and crabbed experiences.

Then he got seriously injured on the set of the movie City Heat and didn’t turn up again for two years, where he was instantly persona non grata with the fans. As I was born a bit too young… He was the hottest shit ever.
