  1. Slopey, can I also add a couple a chicken taquitos to my beer request? It should still keep me in the cheap date category 🙂

    (by the by…anyone with a good chicken taquito recipe?)

  2. “I heard Silvio Burlesconi was lobbying for the award for himself. Stand against a wall, ladies, if you are in his presence.

    Silvio Berlusconi is the greatest leader in Italy’s history AND the most persecuted man of all time. It must be true because he said it himself.

    6Y — You may be too young to remember Tom Lehrer, who sang humorous songs and song parodies in the 50s and 60s (more Ivy League than Weird Al), but after he retired, he said that awarding the peace prize to Kissinger made political satire obsolete.

    If things get bad again today on the OT, I’ll post the lyrics to National Brotherhood Week.

  6. huh? I didn’t tell anyone how to live their lives and totally not freaking out (in case you can’t read between the lines, I said I half joked) in almost all my posts today. Whatev, you’re on ignore just like with most of brownstoner.
