Who ever describes their medical condition as "moderate to severe"? That one commercial the women says "I suffer from moderate to severe blah". It can't be moderate to severe, that's too big of a range. So what is it b1tch? You itchy like sweater itchy or are you itchy like scratch your coochie until it bleeds itchy?

Talking like a person doesn't happen in pharmaceutical commercials.

"I have had it with my moderate to severe chronic plaque psoriasis." No one talks like this. Wouldn't you just tell someone you're sick of your skin?

I would say "I used to itch like a mother [expletive] and then I put this tonic on and now I don't itch like a mother [expletive]".

Rx companies are the absolute worst. What a scourge on society they are.

When heading to St. Louis am I going home or coming home?

When you are talking to someone at home,you are coming home. To anyone else, you are going home. So if you are talking to yourself, you are going home.

I talk to myself a lot, so going it is.

Drain the sock.

edit - the implication being that one's dick is so big that it goes all the way down your leg and you have to tuck into your sock.

Maybe it is because I am originally from a small town....but I do not understand how people can tolerate the population growth of STL County combined with the lousy, insufficient infrastructure. Lindbergh, Big Bend, Gravois, Hanley, Manchester....none of these roads are optimal for current traffic levels and my blood pressure spikes each time I drive on them between the hours of 4-7 p.m. Can the county realistically do anything to make it flow easier, though....?

Well all the road money goes out to the sprawl areas for new roads to further the sprawl. Instead of adding capacity or fixing the trouble spots in current infrastructure we just keep building new. There are plenty of things that could be done to those roads, those things will never get the funding to do it.
