I'm pretty sure it already has... "Retarded" doesn't really mean "mental retardation" in it's everyday use anymore. Kinda like when people call something or someone "gay." They aren't actually calling it homosexual, just stupid.

I'm referring to the pop culture usage. Not personal. Don't shoot the messenger.

Sweet, I'm in my pajamas, working from home. Huge storm outside. Just lost power briefly. This is awesome.

Hope it stops before tonight so Brasky can find his future-ex-wife.

according to the cops he walked too quickly into oncoming traffic, even though his witnesses all said he was already in the crosswalk when she turned. but they "completed their investigation," handed him a ticket and left.

You should tell him to write into PopVille. They eat those kind of stories up. Plus sometimes they actually get some results.

yeah I was thinking that. he's already left to go to the dr. (previously scheduled to look at his knee, but it did make his knee sore).

we were told to refrain from making hilarious gay jokes in my CREW bc there is some suspicion that one of us might be of teh gays.
