If the abortion funding issue was something he was passionate about, isn't it possible he would have been glad to see it listed as one of his most important achievements?

Screw the private show, I'm putting everything I've got on that purse.

First-name basis, but he can't keep track of the birthdays.

I got as far as 47. All those crossword puzzles are finally paying off!!!

Hey, all you folks that recommended etsy.com, thanks, I'm looking at a few things for my mom. Yay! And Edie, I'll add this one to your list: Trocaire.

Alison, I'm cracking up right here at my desk! I always like the parts of judging when she does the men's-magazine chest-out thing, then the fashion-y hunched shoulders. Or raises one eyebrow just one millimeter and then says "See? See what I did there? See the difference?"

Yes! He is the merriest. I'm the lamest mixmaster ever, but I may start a thread, just to grab whatever anyone else can put together.

I picked my mom's name in the family Secret Santa, and I'm going nuts. She is IMPOSSIBLE to shop for! Last time I got her, I gave her a suede jacket which was about a gazillion dollars over the limit, but I was pretty sure she would like it. Now, I'd spend another gazillion dollars if I could just come up with one good idea. I'm just glad that Thanksgiving was early this year, it gives me a little more time to come up with something. Other than that, we did our adopt-a-family shopping the other night, and the kids came along for that for the first time, which was nice. edit: Huh, read

http://archive.viachicago.org/index.php?s=...st&p=577451 There's some great stuff in that thread.

"Tualla's Christmas Mix 2005"

That sounds like a kick-ass birthday! Yay!

Not too shabby! Welcome to VC!

This is such a refreshing attitude, rarely seen on VC! And I love the picture.

#1 is false. Also #1.

Believe it or not, "Logic" was my only solid A in college. Edit: Oh yeah, #2.

I think #3 for M.Chris. I believe the hair thing, because I have one white hair that grows out of the middle of one of my (very dark) eyebrows, and it grows really long. Crazy hair stuff!

OK, then the pickles are also false!

I'm quoting myself here, because I think you missed this the first time.

I win! As oddly inbred as my family might seem, #2 is false. I think the colorblind thing is false.

Yay! They were playing in Tahoe when we were up there a few weeks ago, but we didn't go. True story! The next morning, there were a bunch on people wandering around the casino in tour t-shirts. The Pogues

No, that one is true! I think the nipple thing is false.

Foghat.

OK, give us two true facts about yourself, and one nonsense one. The game is to guess which of the three factoids is an untrue, made-up, dirty rotten lie. Here are mine: 1. I'm a big fan of "So You Think You Can Dance!". 2. My parents are fifth cousins. 3. I sleep with my eyes open.

It's like saying "Candyman" three times, but you only need to say "Biakabutuka" once. Or something like that.

Hey, who wants to start a new one of these, so I can lock this one?
