She was right about Cookie Monster and Michael Phelps. Couldn't you just keep it down to 10 or 12. With 15, you end up taking Whoopi to task for the times she was right.
I'm sorry, but at 24, you are too young to have "eccentricities." At 24, it's still "going through a phase."
Telling the waitstaff that they're not collecting enough e-mail addresses is like yelling at the cooks for not improving the website's search-engine rank.
I mean, who doesn't want more e-mail addresses, but presumably you hired a waitstaff for the purpose of taking orders and serving food.
@RonMwangaguhunga: In my experience, the "most intellectual" colleges/universities are full of above average students who are highly invested in thinking that they are smart but were rejected by higher-tier institutions in favor of their more academically accomplished classmates.
Wow. I wish my immigrant florist grandmother were alive today to see her old home of Jamaica Estates called "one of the city's wealthiest communities." She'd have been so proud to receive such social validation for her choice of neighborhood back in the 1950s.
I'd only do it with a laptop where service was performed by the manufacturer. Those services offered by IBM and Apple (and presumably Dell) where you get a FedEx box delivered to send your damaged laptop away in, no questions asked at any time over the next three years, are lifesavers.
We're going to need a 64GB to 128GB iPhone to completely deprecate the iPod. I suspect those of us who do need more space than the current iPhone or nano provide will simply buy an iPod Classic now and wait a couple of years for the capabilities of the iPhone and nano to catch up with their storage needs.
For me, my nano is basically an auxiliary device to be used for running and exercise while my music library stays on a higher-capacity portable device like a full-sized iPod. After all, if your iPod isn't carrying around your entire music collection, then one of its best features is lost.
On the other hand, iaintpayinu has received positive feedback by actually paying for his items.
Claire Nicoll and Edwin Lescop
I suppose it might have been implicit in your +2 points award, but if not, you neglected to give them an extra point for not only being married by the bride's father the priest, but also by an *Episcopal* priest.
Never say "I'm friends with the owner." Restaurant owners don't have friends.
The thing is, no one who is actually friends with the owner would do this. In restaurants where I am friends with the owner, I come in, wave to the waitstaff, walk through the kitchen, and hang out with my friend, the owner, in his office, assuming he's not working in the kitchen.
That's right, Peggy's so old that she thinks "carpeted house" is a biting description of The Lives of the Rich, with their top hats and monocles.
Actually, I thought that she was trying to say that they're rich but tacky... which goes along with living in McLean and owning a sleigh bed.
even the elder George Bush didn't get to invite siblings.
There would be a major family blowup which would be discussed for decades in the event that I got married and my father didn't get to invite his siblings (along with his nieces and nephews). Incomprehensible.
Turkey didn't actually have a province of "Greece." The Ottomans split what is now modern day Greece into a bunch of different provinces.
That, and you're plagiarizing from a letter-to-the-editor published in "The Economist."
The movie could have been infinitely improved if there were a scene in the beginning where one of Hud's friends said, "wow. Your hands are really unsteady. Here, turn on auto-stabilization."
The first 20-30 minutes with the handheld entertaining as a gimmick. After that I thought to myself, "Wait. You mean I have to sit through the entire movie like this?" That said, I'm sure it saved tons of money over having to do wide shots of the city that required lots of special effects. When everything is a close-in shot, it's all cheap.
You might not be rappers, but you still have poor taste.
Nightclub owner Amy Sacco got un-engaged.
I have found that I prefer the term "dis-engaged."
A dry book launch party? That's just plain bad hospitality. I bet the only food available will be stale bagels, too.
He writes for the Examiner, right? Isn't that the free paper that fills its editorial page with paragraph-long excerpts from the Cato Institute's website?
In that sense, it is only distinguished from the Washington Times in that it is free.
