So what’s the deal? Has Monica started giving Lewinskys again or something? ---

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. Yep…we’re very, very picky about the definition of “North Carolina BBQ”. You can actually get Eastern NC and Western NC varieties…both are very tasty. And I still maintain that mustard has no place near BBQ…save it for the hot dogs. 🙂 ---

I think what disgusted me most about her was that she was simultaneously cheating with the president and on the president with another fella (which resulted in a pregnancy that she aborted.) Of course, it goes without saying that she was disrespectful to this other fella too. It’s this calculating mentality that I find so repellent. She figures, “well, this thing with president probably won’t work out, so I’m going to find a more steady man.” Having your cake and eating it too. No, no, no. Tsk. Tsk. ---

STFU. Nobody cares what you think about anything. You are a repellant “person” with zero redeeming characteristics. Go away. ---

She kept the dress, and bragged on it all around the town. Totally deserved the shellacking she took then. Publicly announcing, 15+ years later! ‘it’s time to burn the dress and move on’, is beyond attention seeking, Kartrashian level lame. Any flack she gets, I say, she deserves. Deserved it then, and having stirred it back up now, for profit, she deserves what’s coming for her this time too. Can’t you just picture her, all these years lamenting, that she was just ahead of her time, and if there was any justice she should have some of that trashy celebrity money. Probably weighing blowing a Prez, as LESS trashy than a sex tape! Next she’ll be on dancing with the stars! Of course the OP, still an idiot, his contributions beyond stupid. ---

I’ve always heard it the way **kstarnes** used it, and just assumed it was in the “I could care less” vein of. . .what do you call those, idioms?. . .an ass-backward way of saying what you really mean; “Of course you can’t have your cake, you already ate it”, i.e. “you can’t have it both ways”.
