...absolutely must express something to a lover, wife or husband, I recommend the Gambino-family-style "walk and talk." Stroll outside with your interlocutor, covering your mouth with your hand as you converse. Make your conversation as vague as possible, and pepper it with inaudible remarks and gross expletives.

...here: Stan, Kyle, Kenny and Cartman, the quartet of cut-out third-graders in the "quiet little redneck podunk white-trash mountain town" of South Park, Colo. A bit more is at stake this time: the fate of the world. The lads see a movie starring their favorite Canadian gross-out comics, Terrance and Phillip, and parrot the naughty language.

(Nicotine patches and gum don't count.) To make a claim from previous years, file a 1040X amended return...
...suspect this is partly because his argument is composed largely of the platitudes of corporate consulting, such as "asking more and demanding less." It seems clear, however, than anyone who can write, without apparent irony, that Harvard should be "a 'Nordstrom's' of the higher education industry" has a gross misconception of the purpose of universities...
