Those poor children deserve an exemption from any estate tax, because they're going to need all of that money for therapy.

a promoter comes up with the idea that [Rocky] should fight the heavyweight champion, Mason 'The Line' Dixon.
Aw, ogged. That's just a gag article.

whatever studio this is, I hope it hurts from these films. The money would be better spent set aflame and inserted into my ass.

Man, text, you're insatiable! I mean, weren't the altoids enough?

altoids dissolve so quickly. The tingly feeling only lasts an hour or so, and if you double up, a package only suffices for so long.

Not if you leave them in the tin.

Actually, it's "Roeper".

Oops! So it is. My mistake. "Roper" has been much on my mind of late, as it's your mom's latest nickname for me.

I didn't know you were into autoerotic asphyxiation, Joe.

One of my teaching assistants died in his office of autoerotic asphyxiation.
He was a nice guy. I sleeped through the final and he let me take it anyway.

sleeped?

He didn't say he passed the final.

Ms. Zach/arek is quite impressive to have overcome this urine drinking problem to write some fairly good criticism.
Posted by washerdreyer | Link to this comment | 10-13-05 11:28 AM
Sure -- Ms. Zacharek writes some good criticism, and some mediocre criticism -- but Ms. Zacherak only drinks her own urine all day.

Zacharek, quod candidos habet dentes,
renidet usque quaque. Si ad rei ventum est
subsellium, cum orator excitat fletum,
renidet ille; si ad pii rogum fili
lugetur, orba cum flet unicum mater,
renidet ille. Quidquid est, ubicumque est,
quodcumque agit, renidet: hunc habet morbum,
neque elegantem, ut arbitror, neque urbanum.
Quare monendum est te mihi, bone Egnati.
Si urbanus esses aut Sabinus aut Tiburs
aut pinguis Vmber aut obesus Etruscus
aut Lanuvinus ater atque dentatus
aut Transpadanus, ut meos quoque attingam,
aut quilubet, qui puriter lavit dentes,
tamen renidere usque quaque te nollem:
nam risu inepto res ineptior nulla est.
Nunc Celtiber es: Celtiberia in terra,
quod quisque minxit, hoc sibi solet mane
dentem atque russam defricare gingivam,
ut quo iste vester expolitior dens est,
hoc te amplius bibisse praedicet loti.

I knew high school latin would come in handy:
you're celtiberian: and in celtiberia
in the mornings everyone generally uses whatever he has pissed
to run down his teeth and his gums,
so that the more polished those teeth of yours are
the more deeply does this tell us you have drunk of your own piss.
