Best of This American Life? If you like Sedaris, the selections on these CDs is great (and I know he's at least one of the segments)

I won't, on principle, buy pirated movies, but I will make an exception for SP's. All the win, but no profit-sharing.

@RiotGrrrl: "Moderately", LOL! Nope, I'm in PA. Let's see if you can make your co-worker's daughter cry two consecutive years!

@RiotGrrrl: PM me ;) I got two 9-year-olds who have samoas to unload.

@LoSpaz: I can't get through the whole list anymore, but I can still rattle off BurgerRhenquistWhitePowellMars... (Supreme Court circa 1977). Just imagine what useful information trickles out of the brain while leaving this intact.

@seedypete: I want to e-mail him about his incorrect and/or inconsistent use of correct grammar on the site, because his punctuation hasn't improved after several decades of schooling, but can't find an e-mail link...
