The nice thing is that if you haven't said them yet, you never will, because they're already out of style. I can't wait till December 2004, to see what cool new words and phrases I ignored or never knew were out there for 2004.

Well Metrosexual is used here so Im glad to finally know what that is. I didnt want to ask.

Spiderhole: A small crawl space in the ground only large enough to sleep in. A brave former Iraqi regime leader tried to hide in one from our soldiers, then he surrendered when found.

TDIDS: This stands for Tom Daschle Is Deeply Saddened. What usually makes him weep the most is good news for the economy, Bushs high approval ratings, or about anything good for Republicans.

More focus might have been paid to Namath's prose if he hadn't uttered it to Suzie so deep into the month of December......

I want to kiss you!

The ol' saying, as always, is true.....

Timing is everything.
