Also, the twists in O. Henry stories tend to be broad, predictable, and formulaic. Much like sitcom plot twists.

sorry I'm late…
Did anyone mention that Rolling Stone gave this album five stars?

Gold medal winning boxer Joel Casamayor?

70mm? I'm not a creepy gun nut or nothin', but don't grenade launchers usually clock in at about 30-40mm? A 70mm grenade would be almost twice the size of a round for the M203. 70mm sounds like mortar territory to me…

Chinaman is not the preferred nomenclature.

A man who stole his screen name from Shelley is flopping around on his belly.

Yeah, and when some cherished old entertainer on the downward slope of his or her career does pass, I recommend going to the obit thread and posting "Who?" (preferably as a firsty).

Fritzy, did you mean 8====D~~~~ ?

I came for the heat stroke, but I stayed for the date rape.
