04/08/2007: Remember, a Clam is an Overused Joke
Clam alert! I'm calling clam on the following construction:
"She's what you call -- how can I put this nicely? -- oh yes, a skanky ho."
And its clam-cousin:
"He's a thieving bastard, but I mean that in the nicest possible way."
Both of you. Out of here and into the chowder. Go through your spec scripts, everyone, and toss 'em out. Seriously, I'm done with 'em.
Lunch: stuffed jalapenos from Jack in the Box
