    Oh, and why does this one client sent me e-mails with the red "High Importance" exclamation mark, then say in the body of the e-mail that the matter is not urgent?

    Who the hell gets up before 7 AM on a Sunday?! (And don't say "church-goers", my roommates have pentacles on their cars.)

    Why do people have their Christmas lights on in February? Not UP...I'll chalk that up to "haven't gotten around to taking them down," but, dude...they're electric. Unplug 'em.

    Tell them it's bad luck to have them up beyond Twelfth Night.

    Actually I just took mine down today but usually they are down right after New Year's Eve. This time the kids asked if we could keep them up a little longer and then the Giants kept winning and I decided the lights & tree had to stay up. The icicle lights in the windows were even Giants Blue.

    Alas, here in Chicago there's no such excuse.

    On a windy February day in Toronto, did I really just see a man with a two-day growth of beard wearing a cute little polka dot dress and nothing covering his hairy legs?

    Is that an outlandishly weird thing in Toronto? Because it would have been, in any US city I've lived in.

    Unusual, and the kind of thing that I'd mention here or tell my wife about when talking about the day, but not outlandish, especially downtown. Toronto is pretty tolerant. Probably the strangest thing was the bare legs, on a day when even the school girls with the hitched up kilts were wearing tights.

    I think Marsilia's post in the "stuff you love" thread might provide a clue.

    Can we find out what the Peruvians called it 7000 years ago? That's probably a more interesting name, or maybe not.

    I thought the exact same thing when I read it.

    When I created this thread, why didn't I word the title "Questions to which you need the answer?"

    Why is answer spelled with a w? It's not ans-wer, it's ans-er!

    Why do I read comments on Internet baseball sites?

    They're where people who are too dumb to post on YouTube go to post.

    Honest to God, when a player is on the Disabled List, maybe that's why he's not being brought up to the Majors. And OK, it all right to be disappointed with a second baseman, but bringing up an outfielder isn't going to fix that problem.
