Numerous national reports reveal that domestic violence against men by women increases during major shopping events.

[cspackler]

Yup, every year I'm black and blue until around Jan. 12th or so...

I only beat people up after a Yankee loss.

Did you commit homicide after that choke job last October? </gloating sox fan>

Did you commit homicide after that choke job last October?--gloating sox fan

Keep gloating. I hope you're three years old. Then you may live enough to see the next Sox championship.

(snicker......)

When did you stop beating your wife bump.

During the Texas kidnapping of the pregnant woman, it kept being reported that murder was the Number One Cause of death of pregnant women (about 1300 since 1990.) One reporter did point out that this is because pre-natal care is so good that women don't die from pre-natal complications.

Uhh, hello, we all know it's the seriousness of the charge, not the nature of the evidence, that's most important!

And my independant poll is 100% behind that (I agree, in other words)

My favorite quote of all time:

"There are Lies, Damnable Lies, and Statistics"
- Mark Twain

[LexBaird]

Now if they really wanted to put this lie to rest, they would have tracked down Sheila Kuehl

Sheila is unfortunately easy to track down. just go to the CA Senate and mention the words "tax increase" or point a TV camera and ol' Sheila will come running.

As if they even keep this sort of stat for traffic fatalities.

My favorite Mark Twain quote, commenting on a women's choir:

"I haven't heard sounds like that since the orphanage burned down."

[OKSooner]

Don't egg him on. My wife works in a rehab unit and she's explained the term to me that describes making the same inane statements over and over and over again, whether they're germaine to any topic being discussed or not: Perseveration.

That's what's happening here, a classical example of a mental malfunction resulting in the same insipid, irrational statement being made over and over again no matter how much annoyance is expressed in ojection to it.

Screw Denny in the nose, I say.

I find your ability to be upset over some anonymous person's tagline fascinating.

Is there a diagnosis for this obsession, or has it recently manifested?

[patton]

Sick. Funny, but sick. LOL.

Corollary advice: Halftime is not a good moment to talk about your "feelings."

[Doctor Stochastic]

Seems like the do.

However, I'm not going to do the data mining to see if it all adds up. (Unless someone pays me, of course.)

[ko_kyi]

ALso, 85.37844 % of Americans don't understand significant digits.

[Doctor Stochastic]

"the" should be "they"

Spell chequeres our knot oil won mite hope four.

[KC_Conspirator]

I figured out who "Denny" was already.
