Title: Look who has a book.
Post by: schep22 on March 30, 2009, 10:38:17 AM: This might be one of the few titles that could simultaneously enrage Tom while making PFT grunt (if that's the right word) in appreciation (if that's the right word.)

I went to CitiField over the weekend, and my wife cringed at her weird, trashy Mets gear. Yikes.

Where are your priorities man? Forget the Timewaster Letters! Return it and get the Alyssa Milano book instead.

Done and done! Except I kept Tw Letters and just went and swiped the Milano book. They'll never catch me! How many 6'6" heavy-set, white guys with glasses could their be in North Hollywood?

Post by: nec13 on April 05, 2009, 10:18:24 PM: I don't normally condone theft, but I don't think anyone will notice that it's gone. And speaking as a fellow heavy-set, white guy with glasses, I suspect you're right.
