Re: Sober Friend Tired of Paying 'Booze Tax'

I go out to dinner with a group sometimes, and usually there is at least one person who doesn't drink alcohol. We ask the server for two checks: one for just the alcohol, and one for everything else. Then we separate out the credit cards of the drinkers, and tell the server to split the alcohol bill among those, then to split the everything else check among all of the cards. It's a lot easier for the server than trying to figure out who had what.

I should point out that it was a hate crime only because the killer thought his victim was gay. Gender identity and expression is not covered by the NY state hate crimes law--though that will be remedied in September, I hope.

In my world, the word that comes first to mind is "tranny," or some such. We just had a case in Syracuse where the killer got off with manslaughter--though the jury did rule it a hate crime.

I'm sure Howard University is very proud to have graduated a thug.

I find it curious, though, that the license plate holder says "Alumni." If it were the Howard University Alumni Association the plural would be fine, or if the car were co-owned by two or more Howard grads. But I suspect it belongs to a Howard alumnus, who never took ancient Greek from its Classics Department. (I doubt an alumna would have such a plate, but I'm just going by gender stereotypes here.)

My parents learned with me (the hard way) to use dentists that specialize in children.

"not into that whole 'wearing-of-women's-clothes' thing"
"Generally."
Uh, huh.

Umm, I remember that commercial. I also remember how you could get a quarter refund for trying it.

I sure hope so. I met Franken at a fundraiser he had here in NYC, and he impressed me greatly.

And Norm Coleman is an asshole.

"VCU’s Sculpture Department, ranked again by US News & World Report as the top program of its kind in the country? "

Just another example of why one should not believe what one reads in US News & World Report.

It's nice that you feel better,

(But I'm sure glad I saved copies of a few my favorite posts of yours.)
