Except cigarettes, right?

Seemingly....but no. I'm back baby and off the fags after last weeks hiccup. As always, the truth shall set rLf free.....the disgusting things are in no way enjoyable.

Good to hear mate.

Is there anything sexier than a Yank saying "mate"? I say "dude" and I just sound like a dick.

A lovely woman from Georgia (USA, not the old SSR) saying pretty much anything?

I will have sex with a southern belle one day and she will be called Blanche.

 

[SamSniped]

That seems quite specific

I'm currently one of eight people enrolled in a high level philosophy class...

Why is that a problem ? I understand complaining about a class being too full but I don't understand what's bad about fewer people.

It is.

Oh, thank God. Cuz I was thinking Golden Girls and really cringing...

Rue McClanahan as Blanche Devereaux, a Southern belle, employed at an art museum. Born into a wealthy family, Blanche grew up as the apple of her father's eye on a plantation outside of Atlanta, Georgia, prior to her relocation to Miami, where she lived with her late husband George. Their marriage produced six children: four sons and two daughters. A widow, Blanche was portrayed as man-hungry, and she clearly had the most male admirers—and stories detailing various sexual encounters—over the course of the series.

Dunno how I managed to do it, but lying in bed trying to move my blanket, I injured my triceps. Hooray for injuries from ridiculously mundane situations.

Well I'm used to large lecture classes and an 8 person class would be a large change in pace; I'm essentially personally responsible for moving the class along.

I was ready to rip into you for being a tool then the smilie finally uploaded onto the screen. See kids? Smilies do matter.

Congratulations on 9000 posts. One more and you are a meme.

Why thank you. I won't be boring and spam the meme though.

Humanity is doomed. Doomed. This is the worst thing. Worse than goatse.

Tapeworms Reduce Calories

The idea is that introducing tapeworm into the body means that the food you eat is split between your own body and that of the tapeworm. You are a host and tapeworm uses you by attaching suckers to your stomach and feeding on the foods that you eat. To expel calories, we are usually required to expend energy through exercise as an example. The tapeworm is an additional means of reducing the amount of calories that you absorb WITHOUT reducing the calories that you consume. Supporters of the tapeworm will praise this idea of dieters being able to eat whatever they choose to eat while still losing weight.

Wow... And there are campaigns to rid Tape-worm. Why not try a new reality tv show (although its been tried before) of switching places

Wow I didn't realize she had that many kids. I only remember two of them ever showing up in the show but she did mention others, still I would have put the number at 3, I remember her mentioning her son but they never had him on the show, she had a grandson who visited so that makes sense that she had at least another daughter because her two other daughters hadn't had children yet, well one had a child by artificial insemination which was the subject of the episode. Actually now I do remember another daughter who had a girl, but I might be confusing her with the same daughter from another episode. Anyway, I thought I was the king of Golden Girls trivia but the folks at wikipedia beat me in that category.

Good thing I'm not in the Midwest and don't have all of our natural features named after the state. Damn me if there's a Virginia City on a Virginia River.
