Can I get a little privacy here?” And he goes “Kill a bitch.” And I go “Dude, you’re crazy. Shut the door.”

Are those nimrods meeting at the State House _ever_ going to show their sorry-ass faces and tell us what they’ve been talking about all summer? The way they go on and on, you’d think people will be picking over their words 200 years from now.

The good news is that I’ve got Ben in the Death Pool, and I figure he’s a goner in the heat.

What would be worse for a righteous man: Letting a mob have sex with two male angels or with my two virgin under-aged daughters?

Anyone else notice some unusual weather (i.e. fire & brimstone)?

> Tell me, kind members of the Straight-Dope Message-Board, which burgeoning metro-politan area should I take residence in after I have completed in full my high-school education. I find the prospect of Cleve Land to be especially attractive, but Pitts Burg offers bountiful opportunity in the employ in any one of the hundreds of steel-mills. A kind gentle-man told me of the Rockefeller-like wealth steel mill workers enjoy; one entire silver-dollar a day, for a mere 16 hours of work!
