I'm not sure that "hot" is the correct word to use in describing Robert Downey, Jr. "Fried" might be more accurate - he's been in and out of rehab more often than the laundry service guy...

That would be no good, coz at least here we can prove that a man changes his mind more often than a woman ;-)
see? there you go... exaggerating... "just like a woman", as Bob Dylan said in that song... all that has in fact been demonstrated is that a man can change his mind... gender wasn't a variable in this experiment :-)

Good. I thought you might say something about more intelligent conversation going on with the desserts in the freezer. But that would've been cold...

. You may be on to something, minstrel. Other than the jello's and such, I do wonder about the credibility of some of the girl's sources.

But even so... having your tongue frozen to a package of fish sticks which in turn has been there so long it is welded to the permafrost on the inside of the freezer door has got to qualify as a handicap...

Nawww Minstrel.... I heard that in Canada, as long as you got a bottle of schnapps nearby that experience qualifies as Ice Fishing, eh! }:~[

"If I were a man of means,
And I mean more means than dreams,
then things would be just as they seem.
Only I am not a man of means,
I am a WOMAN who achieves my dreams!"

There's no smokin' here, didn't you see the sign? ;) But maybe these will help.

Insanity -- a perfectly rational adjustment to an insane world.
--R. D. Lang
Insanity: doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.
--Albert Einstein

My Favorite---> There's a fine line between genius and insanity. I have erased this line.
--Oscar Levant

The statistics on sanity are that one out of every four Americans is suffering from some form of mental illness. Think of your three best friends. If they are okay, then it's you.

I count five of us on this page but it is entirely possible that there are lies, damn lies, and stishtics *hic# oh, excuse me stistics. I think FDR said that statistics.
Insanity -- a perfectly rational adjustment to an insane world.
--R. D. Laing

This person has a very similar name to mine...

Okay, wen has already confessed, so that leaves four of us (he drawls slowly as they circle around eyeing each other with suspicion and fear)

My therapist insists I'm only slightly out of balance! Little does he know!!!

Whole problem started as an infant, I climbed out the van window and landed on my head in the parking lot! Might have grew out of it, but at about 15 I suffered a pretty serious head trauma again, playing football at a halloween party. A year or so after that, I crashed a motorcycle, head first into the ditch bank, and wandered around with a concussion again for awhile.

Once attaining adulthood, I tried to outdrink production at several major breweries for many years, but finally gave up on that upon realizing they were importing it from Canada to keep up! And, I'm suure I toasted more than a few brain cells in the battle!

Likewise, through it all, there were very few who would suggest I was sane! And, I have come to be inclined to agree with the vast majority that implied otherwise!

Well, R.D. Laing was an interesting man. He was also a serious alcoholic who suffered what were probably psychotic breaks or alcohol dementia - so he likely wasn't the most objective writer when it came to suggesting that the insane weren't really insane.

Try telling this to teenagers playing video games :-)

Similarly, apparently 1 in 5 people in the world is Chinese. And since there were more than 5 children in my family, it must be that at least one of us is Chinese. I'm pretty sure it's not me, so I figure it has to be either my sister, Heather, my sister, Sherry, my brother, Colin, or my adopted sister, Jen-Li Chang.

Personally, I think it's Colin...

You lived off Jello for a month? Was this in one of those reality TV shows like "Jello Island"? Or did you lose some sort of bet?
