2. Nomination seconded.

I was SO happy when the Giants lost the Series, just because it shut him up (though not for long).

4. I need a definition of jagoff or is it how I define it myself?

I would pick Charlie Jarvis of USA Next - I haven't seen that big of an "ashcroft" in a while.

7. You can hear Bruce Willis using the term in the movie "Striking Distance"

Which was set in Pittsburgh. And sucked moose balls.

11. I was thisclose to signing up and telling that %*($# off.

Unreal is right.

I'm glad I didn't just sign up and rant, I doubt I'd have been proud of myself today.

13. I am sorry I called her names...

Edited on Fri Feb-25-05 09:32 PM by VelmaD

but not TOO sorry. She was a mean-spirited, self-absorbed, evil ol' hag. *grump* And she was mean to my friend. *grrrrrrrrrr*

She gets my vote for jagoff of the week...possible the year. I wonder if she knows the name of the guy who stocks her celery. ;)

16. Yeah, she was very mean spirited

OTOH, while she brought up the Bev Harris thing, I don't think her whole issue was around that. I think she used it as a bolster (odd bolster if you ask me - I was a Bev supporter until I was a bystander during the last fiasco). Perhaps she was just a Bevbot, but I think mostly she is a woman of color with a big, big chip on her shoulder. She colors her whole world with the poor me, victimhood crap and throws racism on top for good measure.

IMO, she's a woman in deep need of some heavy psychotherapy and/or a religion that can help her make sense of this mostly senseless world.

18. And her Ph.D. is in Germanic studies????

What ta hell does one do with a doctorate in Germanic studies?

I'm not impressed. The triplets' mother has a Ph.D. in English literature and has taught college.

Dr. Lilian is a piece of work...and to think we live in the same city....

:puke:

19. Fascinating freak, that one.

Interesting read. As I was reading through, I was wondering why you didn't just delete her post. By the time I reached the last post, I understood.

20. Heh

I only first heard it on the telly within the last year-someone one network TV using it to avoid 'swearing.' I don't get the avoidance thing and how 'jagoff' passes muster with tv censors while 'jackoff' doesn't when they mean the same thing. For some reason it just pets my peeve.

21. Nominating Barry Bonds is just like another episode of

"Sanford & Son" or whatever it was he said in press conference. Also no matter how many times you nominate Mr. Bonds, he isn't going to respond because only children respond if you keep nominating them. Or something like that.

Yes, after his arrogant, rambling statements at his press conference, Barry Bonds is an excellent choice.
