The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

Company X grants to Company Y lisences on the effective date of this Agreement.

Unfortunately, I don't think it's that straight-forward.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

“They scream, they sing, they fall down, they take their clothes off, they cross-dress, they vomit,”

Sounds like San Francisco.

I read that article, tommyrot...I thought it was sad. I mean, I've been known to drink too much on occasion, but...dude. What kind of vacation is that, just drinking til you puke every damn night and all day? How can that be fun?? I mean, beyond being safe, or healthy?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

made the #1 sign and kissed it as he crossed the finish line.

OK, I didn't see that part. That sounds somewhat douchey.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

Y'aint #1 till you walk away with the gold, so be careful.

Fair point; you can thump your chest and hoot and holler, but making the #1 sign could bite you in the ass.

The bronze medalist in men's hurdles is from Cincinnati, and he kept chanting "5-1-3" after the race was over, and it seriously took me a full minute to realize it was the Cincy area code. I was thinking it was how he placed in his previous 3 races or something.

Duhhhhhh.

(I've just never heard people chant an area code as a sign of city loyalty, is all. Some people call Cincinnati "The 'Nati," but I think it's ironically.)

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

SO if we ever get another Teppy here, we can call you Nati!Teppy?

Really? I've heard it a lot. Mostly in rap songs.

Today is day 2 of "OK,no, seriously? You've got to be kidding."

(or is it Day 25? I can't tell anymore.)

Ha! I was wondering what that was.

And yeah, I think of area codes as being A Thing. Like, you know, hoes in different area codes.

I know my own heart and understand my fellow man. But I am made unlike anyone I have ever met. I dare to say I am like no one in the whole world. - Anne Lister

My fave use of an area code was in the movie Go when one girl said to another, "Don't go 818 on me, Claire." HAHAHA! Made funnier by the fact that I'm in the 818! Go Valley!
