> [@Typo\_Negative](#): > > I always found her attractive. Beautiful face, nice hair, pleasantly plump… > > I still feel sorry for her though. I mean, lots of young women have gotten involved with powerful married men, but they don’t end up being a national pariah, or the butt of lame jokes like the OP. She didn’t deserve that. I don’t sorry for her; I just don’t. There are for far worse fates to be had in life, just look a all the stuff she has been able to do since them. I think a lot of anonymous working stiffs would gladly trade places with her. ---

But given that the OP appeared to be complaining about shenanigans that took place in America, I thought it best to explain the American definition. 😃 ---

> [@Marley23](#): > > I don’t think you know what the meaning of the meaning of is thing was. Seconded. It wasn’t that **he** didn’t know, it was that as a politician and a lawyer, he knew how to weasel his way out of a question without, in the strictest sense of the word, lying. Answer the question that’s asked, and only the question that’s asked. Clinton actually went on to elaborate and further clarify his position, which did, truly, hinge on the definition of the word “is”. ---

> [@Budget\_Player\_Cadet](#): > > Someone help me out here. Why. The fuck. Did I click on a **kstarnes** thread? If you view the site similar to the way I do, I just read the topic and replies and rarely pay attention to the user names. I don’t start noticing user names until they start posting exceptionally stupid or exceptionally witty responses. While I shook my head at the OP, I didn’t pay attention to the poster because, let’s be honest, this is far from the stupidest thing **kstarnes** has ever posted. It wasn’t until others started referencing the OP in their posts (like you did) that I went, _“ah, **kstarnes** , the OP makes much more sense now”._ Obviously, I remember that name for the exceptionally witty stuff he posts. 😛 🆒 ---

> [@WolfpackJeep](#): > > Being a life-long resident of North Carolina, I can assure the OP that proper “BBQ” does not involve pork chops. > > It also doesn’t involve mustard, but that’s another thread. 😉 Jeez, you are nearly as bad as the Texans when it comes to defining BBQ. Also, I can BBQ thick cut pork chops. Mmmm, smoky thick cut pork chops finished with a reverse sear and light glaze of ones favorite sauce. I’m off to the butcher. Who needs burgers and dogs\* when one can have smoked pork chops? \*No ketchup on hot dogs ever. As I tell my wife and daughter, who insist on defiling dogs thus, when I am Supreme Emperor of the Universe, that will a crime punishable by instant death. ---

I also love NC BBQ, SC BBQ, Georgia BBQ, _et al_.\* However, many Texans seem to be of the opinion that if Texas does something one way, that is the only way it should be done (see _chili with beans_). **Jeep’s Phoenix** was just doing the NC version of limiting the definition. \*Haven’t tried any BBQ with an Alabama white sauce, so we can exclude that one from the list for now. ---

I mostly tried to ignore the big event, back when it was happening. The only thing I have against her comes from an interview that she gave some time long enough after that I thought it would be safe to watch the television again. She completely misused the word subtle. Just, damn. Oh, **Tapioca Dextrin** , do you need any bay leaves? I have a tree. Not bay laurel, either it’s the culinary variety. I could mail a few. They don’t get used nearly enough. ---
