Around here, "it be a sad story" is quite common-- I got an email with the usage in writing last week. Arguably no worse than "youse guys".
Well that was a walk down memory lane. The Carly Simon reference was superb. I thought number 2 in part 1 was Fatty not Faty, and for a brief moment I thought you were refering to me. I chose to finish the sentence in this manner: In the evening, Fatty makes her family for dinner. I'm going to eat a twinkie.
I have a website. I'm trying to get computer savvy...anyways, it's pretty borring now, but just you wait!

I was stumped with the very first question.
I'm picking the book this next meeting! Please send me ideas you have for good discussion books under 300 pages!
I'm so happy that you chose 'conservative' Carly Simon over 'boisterous' Britney Spears in your example of American pop-culture. Dated, yet effective (have you been gone that long?).
Not much is happening in this crazy month of march madness. This weekend I will be spending in New York for the second time this year. I'm just glad I get to sleep in.
Tim is gonna pay us a visit in NY soon for a concert. Hopefully he doesn't sleep with my room mate this time.
Thank GOD Katie finally has a website. Lord knows the interweb needs more weird angle pictures of Katie making strange pouty faces because her friendster/facebook/myspace pages were not nearly enough. And while we are on the topic, God bless Al Gore for making all this possible.
Since I have so much "air-time" you might say on the web, I ask you, John, to make me a celebrity in Mauritana. Show them my pictures, tell them my stories...make me famous in their eyes....let them know Kyle is my personal assistant. He gets bossed around a lot.
