No Plea Deal for Madoff; Could Spend Remaining Days in Prison
And let us hope that this is just the first administering of justice due many of the current spate of greedmongers.— March 12, 2009 2:53 p.m.
A sampling of San Diego's vanity license plates
WTFOVER was/is a colloquialism popularized somewhere in the 70's and still in use today (I assume). It generally takes the form of a question and is usually used to amplify the ludicrousness of a given situation. Probably has ties to the CB radio craze of the mid to late 70's, over. An example might be: "So this cop pulls me over for a taillight not working. I get out to look at it and it's working fine. The cop says it wasn't when I stopped you. I mean, what the fu**, over?"— March 2, 2009 11:21 a.m.
A sampling of San Diego's vanity license plates
Best plate I ever saw was in Casa De Oro at least twenty years ago. It was on a Porsche and read WTFOVER. The guy was talking on a pay phone and I interrupted saying "Nice tag". He then told me that the DMV had called him on it, and he quick-wittedly answered that that had been the name of his flight squadron in Vietnam.— March 2, 2009 9:55 a.m.

I suppose it's inevitable that a thread approaching 1,000 entries would begin to unravel in a farcical fashion. Did everyone miss the telltale smiley emoticon at the end of "My name is SurfPuppy and I'm new around here :)"?— February 27, 2009 6:05 a.m.

What flavor of Kool-aid is served? If it's Goofy Grape, or Chinese Cherry, we just might be enticed to show up. My girls and I just love Kool-aid.— February 26, 2009 4:35 p.m.
Maybe Victims of This Scam Should Be Locked Up, Too
Response to post #8: Ja, das ist der place! (Weinerschnitzel radio jingle from the 70's. How I miss those clone dogs!)— February 20, 2009 9:54 a.m.
Rumored Copley Suitor Puts Out Racy, Alternative Publications, but Has Debt Woes

Fred_Williams typed: "....It would be irritating to read Burl Stiffish puffery...." Having been witness to many of Mr. Stiff's clever verbal asides at various soirees, and considering the vastly divergent milieus, I'm guessing Josh would have the harder time of it if they were to swap columns for a month or so. No slight intended.— February 4, 2009 12:32 p.m.

Response to post #477: Ha! Perhaps my future posts should be less succinct. I thought xray's inherent trollitude was apparent. Can't speak to Fred or Johnny's "stature", but you and I had a passing acquaintance at 350 & a current (less visible) one at 919, so I can assure xray that you present a pretty lean countenance. And if dealing in cold truths comes off as bitterness to xray, well, I suppose there's not much to be done about that.— January 20, 2009 1:13 p.m.
