I think he's going off TS's avatar, no?

The court will consider that exception.

Yeah. I've never really seen the show except for a few times with the rents during season 1. I was planning on renting a few seasons and doing some marathons this summer. I'm hoping TS's avatar is just some sort of weird flashback or flash forward.

Maybe deleting all these posts is a good idea. My bad.

It's also worth considering that the avatar could be from the alternate ending from GMA this morning. So he's intentionally setting you up to be surprised. Eh? How do you like that bit of rationalization?

Oh Vox, you silly gigantic man

Not even grad assistants?

Oh, there's a smokin grad assistant down the hall. I'm not sure if she'll be back next year.

The National Spelling Bee is on right now. Just give them the damn definition, word origin, and alternate pronunciations! Stop making them ask for those things every time.

I LOVE bacon. I LOVE breasts, but not like that.

Apparently one of the words this year was sabermetrics.

1. I have bacon flavored rolling papers- seriously. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that Axe comes up with a bacon inspired fragrance.

2. Thank Xenu that I didn't post anything last night/very early this morning. I was at a wedding reception last night and had zero intentions of drinking but it got real real ugly after that god damned toast- it's like peer pressure from your own family. Within 30 minutes I was pounding Stoli-O and Sprites 3 at a time and my wife made me surrender my cell phone immediately.

3. There were 2 legit 9's there (before I even started drinking) and I have no idea who they were- they had to be from the groom's side. I was making small talk with them at the bar all night and the photographer took a few pics of us with me putting my arms around them. I told my wife that they were my cousins but when she asked me to introduce them I had no idea what their names were. So, yeah, I'm in the doghouse.

4. I don't remember much after that but at least I didn't piss myself.

5. How the fuck do you drop $100 at an open bar?

Oh and I think I may have ordered sea-monkeys but I don't see any email confirmations.

Does anyone dispute the conclusion that Phight On! wins the "Case Utley You ARE the MAN!" Award for this here board?

I have a cracked tooth...I assume there are exposed nerve endings....the pain is fabulous...really spiritual..... I've had my share of root canals so I know what type of pain Im dealing w/ and how to handle it....Although w/ exposed nerve endings its not the same and can't be managed the same, but I've been dealing w/ it.
Flash back to about 2 weeks ago...Im on my lunch break in my car examining a photograph I plan to use for a future painting w a magnifying glass.. a big one. It was really hot that day. I set the magnifying glass down, but it wasn't laying flat and the glass started to burn a whole in some papers I had laying on my car floor. Then I remembered magnifying glasses do that.
Flash forward to last night....Im looking in the mirror at this tooth and I remember the magnifying glass and I actually contemplate searing the nerve endings w/ it.
It got me thinking, before the advent of modern dentistry, I wonder if people used magnifying glass's for such purposes...sort of like an early laser....its clean,, unobtrusive and is able to generate enough heat to burn flesh or nerve endings...

This is either a excerpt from some unpublished Burroughs manuscript, or else you've just written one of my favoritest things ever.

Edit: Fixed "Burroughs" typo

Agreed. I just hope Pedro doesn't try to shoot an apple off of anyone's head.
