What's the dirtiest insult you can think of?
"You big fat meanie!" (What can I say? I had a sheltered upbringing.)How would you stimulate the US economy?

Q: How many ways to skin a cat? A: Not enough ways. They are evil, sneaky, jazz-loving freaks of nature. But I'd prefer them to dogs any day.
What are your tips for "greener" living?
