_Dynasty_ was such a stupid show! I was so glad when it finally went away. ---

I liked Friday’s better before they went all “upscale”. The servers used to wear all these cool buttons on their suspenders, and the menu was more fun. But they still do a mean Mudslide. ---

it’s called “flair”. Yeesh! ---

> [@RealityChuck](#): > > download hijackthis. Anyone ever hear that story about a woman who saw her friend at the airport and greeted him with “Hi, Jack!” Supposedly she was arrested for making a terroristic threat. Is that anecdote true, or just an urban legend? ---

The Chicago airport was the biggest I’ve ever seen! I almost got lost. Who walks 1/2 mile in an airport? (Whew, I thought Chuck had killed the thread!) ---

Chicago is the home of the company I work for. It used to be in Seattle. They considered Seattle to be to hick for a world wide company. Companies such as Starbucks and Microsoft don’t seem to have any problems. What a bunch of :wally ---

Companies such as Starbucks and Microsoft don’t seem to have any problems. What a bunch of :wally I heard on the news this morning that the company you work for has, for the first time in several years, beaten its biggest competitor – “biggest” both literally and figuratively – in the getting of orders for next year. Nice work; I hope you had something to do with it. They still make the planes near Seattle though, right? ---

> [@Pietro](#): > > They still make the planes near Seattle though, right? Man, that mention of planes reminded me of geometry class – two points determine a line, three points determine a plane. My brother always wondered why there were skew lines, but no skew planes. ---

Speaking of class, you know who’s a really classy lady? Dame Judi Dench. She was on T.V. last night talking about her newest film. She apparently plays a proper British lady who ends up running a strip club. Or at least a venue that features nude dancers. ---

She apparently plays a proper British lady who ends up running a strip club. Or at least a venue that features nude dancers. Speaking of Judy’s, I wonder what Judy Tenuta is up to these days. I also wonder if the reason we haven’t heard from her is because someone coldcocked her back around 1989. ---

The _Sun_ always has some picture of a bird with big tits on page 3, and its vocabulary is fit for semi-educated morons. I hate trash newspapers.
