I have a new favorite name for a sports bar "Third and Long". Three guys just won $600 on their way there.
Spike's Bitches 44: It's about the rules having changed.
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.
My family does not appreciate me pointing out the hoyay in a baseball game.
Aw that takes half the fun out of baseball... Crap, I forgot Harry Caray died. That takes all the fun out of baseball.
(re: COMMA) Anybody know how far I have to read back in Natter to see whose penis will kill Steph?
It was in a FCM discussion, with Superman, Batman and Wolverine.

Ohhhhhh. Funny how some things seem like they will never make sense. And then they do. Thanks!

This alone is COMMA-worthy.
Is there a malady in which one's toes get uncomfortably hot? A couple years ago that would have sounded wonderful to me, having suffered decades of really cold toes. It's uncomfortable but not at all painful. And really the striking thing is how big a change it is from my usual.
I'm reading about Rosemary Kennedy. I'm actually kind of surprised that the internet is yielding relatively few conspiracy theories about her -- there's dispute about how severe her mental disability was before the lobotomy (consensus seems to be that it was relatively mild -- she could read and write and do arithmetic, kept a diary, and went to parties and dances and stuff like that), and several claims that the reason her father brought her for the lobotomy was actually that she was mentally ill (which seems likely), but nowhere near the sort of tinfoil hat theories that I would have expected. Pretty much everyone talking about it is quoting the same three or four articles.
My understanding, Hil, was that her mental disability was definitely mild, but because the family was so high achieving and Mama Rose felt simply that if they "pushed" Rosemary she'd be fine, that Rosemary experienced an escalating sense of frustration that led to rage-filled outbursts that became more violent. Subsequently, her behavior became more erratic. (I'm remembering a lot of this from the Doris Kearns Goodwin book, The Fitzgeralds and the Kennedys and may have forgotten some key things, so I apologize.)
So Papa Joe made the executive decision to take her for the lobotomy, having been reassured that it would help with the rages, but leave her otherwise intact.
Didn't exactly work so well.
