Giles, if you would like to get by in American society, then you are going to have to follow our traditions. You're the patriarch. You have to host the festivities, or it's all meaningless.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

So I think I will root for the team with the most intricate hairdos instead.

Too late, Cincinnati's gone, too.

I'm looking to cancel one of my credit cards and get one with rewards.

I got a United miles card a year and a half ago, and I've already managed to accumulate enough miles to pay for my ticket to NOLA.

Gus is tallest. Who's second-tallest? Is it 6' 3" me? I was thinking there was someone else taller than me besides Gus.

Although he's not officially a Buffista, Brendon taller than you, Tom.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."

Here's a Chronicle story about the issue:

It talks a little more about the background behind the law and behind that specific case.

On the credit card rewards front, I have a Capital One preferred something or other that gives me rewards. The thing I like about it is that, in addition to standard rewards that most cards give, I can also get things like a reduction in my interest rate. Or a payment towards my outstanding balance.

I pretty much have Jon Stewart's reaction- screaming at the top of my lungs.

I did a little work venting to someone who is nice here. They were completely understanding. They are being pulled in a million directions doing stuff that is in no way their job, so they get it.
