I'm thinking that when he attends functions as The Right Honorable The Baron Haden-Guest, THAT's when the glove comes out.

I can't help myself either. It took me two months to figure out what the hell TOWIE was, but by God I got so much more addicted when I did!

I have two cats. Trust me - if that cat didn't mind being in that box, that cat would NOT be in that box.

My niece and I are tied for best graduations speakers. She had then State Senator Barack Obama; I had political humorist Mark Russell. I can still remember sitting in the sunshine, passing around a bottle of Chivas Regal that someone had brought, and laughing our asses off.

When my sister bought her house in Seattle, it had a "partially finished" basement. It had walls, doors, etc. - but a dirt floor and incredibly weird wiring. The neighbors finally told her it was because the previous owners had been growing pot in the basement.

One of the guiding principles of life that I learned from my parents: "Someone who is nice to you but rude to the waitstaff is not a nice person." This rule has never let me down.

Don't forget the whiskey and soda!

I misinterpreted - I thought you thought we were arguing, and you were trying to make peace. So I guess we CAN all play together nicely.

The ship should have been able to easily survive the iceberg hit. So far, the possible reasons it didn't seem to include brittle steel, shoddy rivets, and a poorly designed compartment system. And/or Loki. But shipbuilders knew all about the dangers of icebergs, and many supposedly less well-built ships survived…

I read another theory that it was substandard rivets that allowed the ship's hull to break apart and let in too much water for the compartment system to handle. That, or the trickster god Loki was just feeling restless that day.

That's what I heard, too - only it's not just flawed clothing, it's any unsold stock they want to get rid of. Which is definitely much more OK with me.

If you are smart and don't care about appearing less so, that is entirely your prerogative. But there are situations, such as job interviews, where it can make a big difference. I personally feel that there are so many people out there who assume women are dumb that I prefer to disabuse them of that notion. To each…

Actually, yes, I do think that. Most people that I know who say things like that are under the age of 18, so I just assume they haven't had a chance to develop their vocabulary yet. But a 35 year old who always said everything was "really great?" Yeah, I'd wonder about that.

Nobody's saying you should never swear. But the truth is that the constant repetition of swear words makes it sound as if you have a limited vocabulary. If you describe everything as "fucking great" or "fucking shitty," people are just going to assume that you don't know enough words to be able to describe things…

It also depends on whether or not the person in the wheelchair can transfer to the ride, ot if they need to stay in the chair. Most of the rides only have one or two "cars" that can accommodate a chair, so they usually have to wait until it's free. It also depends on how long the standby line is, etc. And yes, I…

Sorry about the link - Try this instead.

If it helps, the article about using people in wheelchairs is complete crap. People is wheelchairs and ECVs usually end up waiting longer than those in the standby line. For more information: www.disboards.com/forumdisplay.php?f=20

I thought they were called KuKu?

This is total and complete bullshit. Handicapped riders frequently have to wait much longer for rides, because there are only a few "cars" per ride that can accommodate them. And the "special waiting area" means that they can't go through the regular queue, which is usually heavily themed and almost part of the…

I had a similar but opposite experience - when I said I didn't understand something, my algebra teacher would say "Okay, then do it this way" and proceed to further confuse me by doing something I didn't understand in the first place a completely different way. The I had tow things I didn't understand, and of course…
