Wolcott On A Major Problem With The Press And Also Certain Online Forums....
I heart Wolcott. They should make his name into a verb.

"Blip on Radar Blocks out Sun

Gee, I hope they find that "missing pregnant mom" soon, otherwise we'll never find out how the war in Iraq turns out. If that Michael Yon hotshot really wanted to be useful he'd drop whatever it is he's doing and get over here and help find this poor woman. Every available set of expert eyeballs is required to resolve this case before America goes mad with apprehension. Clint Van Zandt can't do it all by himself, you know."

1. I also enjoy Walcott, but I still don't regret my challenging him to a fight back in college
But it was for a good cause; I was defending Truman Capote's honor :)

4. Or at least talk shit about me at Elaine's...
actually, he turned out to be a really nice guy after we settled our difference of opinion.
The man is one hell of a gossip, though...

12. Almost every guy I know has at least one "pissing beside greatness"...
encounter :)
I have one friend who insisted that she just knew that Jackie O was in the stall beside her. How she knew that, I dunno...

9. Nope.. just a girls vs the guys football game
they always won :)

Riggins was a class-A asshole.. But my boys were impressed that I knew a real football star.:)

We all liked his girlfriend, until we found out that he was married.:grr:..

the guy I was going out with was a bench-warmer:)..so his face was always in great shape.. My roommate's boyfriend was a guard or something,.and he aways had cuts & scrapes & often.. a bandaged nose :)
