And in the hotel room, he can maybe have one of those gifts too (e.g., the CD/cassette recorder).

I’ve seen the movie several times and wouldn’t have gotten it.

Seriously? That's like the biggest line in the whole movie. That and "Fish are friends; not food."

Yeah it's like a main quote/theme in the movie. Then again, I have a 3 year old.

I was excited, I thought you were talking about the movie that comes out in a week.

The Senate passed it unanimously. The house had a single holdout, some Republican from KY.

That setup is actually pretty normal; lobbying teams work that way, too.

But it's hilarious for anyone who knows anything about WaPo.

I bought a pair of All American Clothing Co jeans, and really like them.

Saving it all up for the weekend?

That's a pretty generic list...

"Wheat," "meat," "seafood."

Went to the grocery store yesterday and I pointed out the increase in the price of eggs to Mrs. George. She never pays attention to these things - never.

She was impressed.

@jolly it's mid-December.

Thanks for that.

No, Mik has the pot. I have the firewood and the backwater.

Tell us when to show up. I've heard Brits ain't bad, if you cook them right...

@jolly said in A good deal is when both traders are happy.:

Problem comes when some of them aren't breathing afterwards...

Picky, picky, picky.

I'm about 5 years out of the loop where HHS and Medicare gave "bonuses" for stuff.

In my field, we had to dance through some hoops, filling out forms, to get a minimal increase in reimbursement from Medicare.

The time spent almost wasn't worth it.

"Meaningful Use..."

It might be a bit too soon to select Ms. Harris' replacement.

I can't top Aqua, but we had that most wild of all beasts - Medical Residents.

Many of them, especially the HO 1's, lived in a dump owned by the state, affectionally called The Hilton by all. They were known for some quite boisterous parties, but one Christmas Eve they outdid themselves.

I dropped by when I got off at 11P, just long enough to say hello and sample the jungle juice, since the lab had donated two gallons of 95% ethanol for the garbage can. At that point, they were already having a great time, having cleared off the parking lot for a dance floor and barbecue.

They'd had the wheelchair races before I got there, but I still got to see the end of the gurney drag races. Literally...docs in drag, pushing a gurney down the boulevard with one very obviously pregnant (basketball) OR nurse on each team, riding in the gurney.

I missed the best parts, or so they tell me. They built a campfire in the middle of the boulevard. A mannequin was stolen sometime during the evening and used in drunken festivities of unknown significance. They caught one of the nurses in the bathroom fellating one of the surgery residents. It finally broke up, when one of the female nurses took off all of her clothes and streaked by the front of the hospital. Didn't help that the woman was in her fifties, overweight and with some definite gravity problems.

I knew they must have had a good time, because when I doubled back that morning at 0630, there was a naked mannequin on the hospital boulevard, wearing a silver tinsel halo.

I'll never forget the announcement Christmas morning on the hospital intercom... This is Doctor ___. I'm the only physican in the hospital right now and I will be indisposed for the next five minutes. Please, nobody get sick while I'm gone.

I was told the "Come to Jesus" meeting with the Chief of Staff and Administrator was epic.
