QUIPS AND QUOTES I had amnesia once -- or twice. All I ask is a chance to prove that money can't make me happy. If the world was a logical place, men would be the ones who ride horses sidesaddle. What is a "free" gift? Aren't all gifts free? They told me I was gullible... and I believed them.. Experience is the thing you have left when everything else is gone. One nice thing ...

Ed. note: Reminder, the archives from the old blog are coming in reverse order, so don’t drive yourself nuts if you don’t find “Misc Quips 1″ right away The Dark Ages were caused by the Y1K problem. A fool and his money can throw one hell of a party. When blondes have more fun, do they know it? Money isn’t everything but it sure keeps the kids in touch. What ...

Fed Reserve Board chair Ben Bernanke is not at the U.S. House of Representatives’ Financial Services Committee, the capitol being snowed in, but his testimony on the Fed’s exit strategy for the U.S.’s massive stimulus is alive on the Fed Reserve Web site. And Bloomberg’s Scott Lanman and Craig Torres pick up on one line in the prepared remarks to try and suss out a time ...

Considering the greatness of "Absolute Justice," I offer a tribute! A selection of quips and quabbles as penned by Geoff Johns that remain permanently lodged within this cerebral cortex of mine. Obviously, I lack the word count required to include all the one-liners worthy of repeating. But I attempted to honor the ensemble effort that carried this episode nonetheless--ultimately ...

"Hey dad guess what.." (chicken butt?) "What?" (chicken butt?) "No, not chicken butt - something else!" "Can you help me put on my backpack?" (where you goin?) "to Bethlehem!  because I have lots of things to show baby Jesus." (well tell him I said hi) ... running laps around the house ... "I'm not there yet, it takes a long long ...

In September, our desktop was overtaken by a computer virus and my amazing husband recovered all the data (except a bit of forgotten email) and resurrected the computer.  At that time we chose to try the Linux operating system and avoid all the Windows aimed viruses and the new $200 program. After 5 months my amazing husband came up to me with his gorgeous blue eyes and said "Honey, it ...

Workout notes Gentle 4000 yard swim over lunch: I started with 3000 yards straight: 17:51 first 1000 (stopped to move equipment but kept the watch running so the first 250 was 4:48), then 34:30 for the second 2000. Then I did 10 x (25 drill/25 free) with fins, then a grab bag 500 of 100 paddle, 100 side, 200 of 25 fly, 25 back, 50 paddle, 50 back. The pool got crowded again; I ended up sharing ...

Can you remember your funniest quip that someone said on a thread on here. Sometimes you can be talking about something completely seriously and then someone will post something that makes you laugh out loud. I remember a thread - i actually cannot remember what the thread was about but for some reason we were starting talking about mens boxer shorts (probably a pervy thread started by me no ...

by Marlene LeMon, Graduate Retention Field Representative  The Chamber's Graduate Retention Team recently attended the annual Impact Awards at the Indiana Chamber of Commerce on February 10th. Northeast Indiana should be proud! Several interns from the region were recognized: Intern of the Year Nominees:  Nadia Nguyen - Interned at Fifth Freedom Eric Stokes - Interned at Aptera ...

That game was interesting, and it goes to demonstrate how we could potentially beat England in the first round. What struck me as particularly relevant about the match is that there is an argument to be made that we should have won. Our performance, although not spectacular, was competitive enough to get a W or at least a draw under hostile conditions against one of the best teams in the world. ...

From the mouths of my kids... "What's wrong with girls? They don't even have a sense of humor!" "Which part of Utah does Jesus live at?" Curly: "Go a-way! Yer ruining my yife!" "You're wrong. Farts ARE funny!" All-a-Boy: "I remember back when I was a kid..." "Jobs are totally un-fun." "Fingers are NOT humans!& ...

His latest column includes a helpful hint that those in the Balt/Wash/Philly areas might appreciate:"The Weather Channel reported Thursday that last week's ice storms in the South knocked out electricity in some areas for a week. Oklahoma has a firewood shortage because the trees are all frozen. People are staying warm by burning Al Gore's books."

Last night’s Ugly Betty had it all: A fire at the Queens home of the Suarez clan, Fashion Week, yet another guest spot from the always hilarious Kristen Johnston, male models, the reappearance of Suzuki St. Pierre, and one beautiful chandelier! (I don’t care if you don’t agree with me on that last one—Ignacio, in

There's so much going on in Talk week to week that we almost can't keep up. If you're in the same boat, here's a small selection of topics and responses that have piqued our interest this week. Soul Food Potluck "climbhighak is correct, if you ain't got black pot cornbread it ain't southern, yankees tend to eat cornbread that is somewhat cake-like, down here ...
