Quote: Q: Why do you spell ‘organisation’ with an ‘s’and not a ‘z’? A: By tradition, NATO uses European English spellings in all public information documents. Common examples where differences occur between European and North American usage are the words “defence” and “defense”, and “Organisation” and “Organization”.
Quote: On 12 September 2001, less than 24 hours after the terrorist attacks against the United States, NATO declared the attacks to be an attack against all the 19 NATO member countries within the terms of Article 5 of the North Atlantic Treaty.
Quote: Q: Do you have a top five list of the actors that you would love to see die in a movie? I was thrilled when Paul Reiser was ravaged in "Aliens." I think Jimmy Fallon might be up there now after he ran onto the field at the end of the World Series. -- Bob Brassil, Boston SG: That's a great question. I never liked John Lithgow, so his demise at the end of "Cliffhanger" never gets old for me. Same for Glenn Close in "The World According to Garp" and Diane Keaton in "Looking for Mr. Goodbar" (although that was a truly disturbing ending). But you're right -- very fun game. My list includes Robert Wuhl, Renee Zellweger, Eric Stoltz, Sarah Jessica Parker, Spike Lee, Michael Rapaport, Gretchen Mol, Talia Shire (as Adrian), Jim Carrey, Kirstie Alley, Meg Ryan, Adam Sandler, the entire cast of "American Pie," and, of course, Jimmy Fallon. (By the way, just coming up with that list was strangely cathartic.)
Quote: Q: Recently, a female friend of mine set me up with one of her friends. I asked her if the girl was "cute" and she responded "yes." I trusted her judgment and didn't even ask to see a picture. When we met at a restaurant, I was horrified to see that she was not even in the vicinity of cute. Close proximity to brutal, terrible, atrocious, yet light years away from cute. Aside from the annihilation of any pride I once had, I had to endure a dinner which I ultimately got stuck paying for. (Side note: Blind date etiquette should require a 50/50 split of the check, discretionary based on the guy's overall enjoyment of the date.) Anyway, the question is this: How do you think the "Girl Description of another Girl" Decoding Scale should work? This is my decoding scheme for what a girl really looks like based on another girl's one-word description: "Gorgeous" = Beautiful "Beautiful" = Hot "Hot" = Cute "Pretty" = Alright "Nice Face" = Bad Body "Cute" = Brutal "Alright" = Train Wreck "Good Personality" = Morbidly obese/drug addict -- Marc G, Stamford, CT SG: You forgot two good ones between "Alright" and "Good personality" ... 1. "One of the Nicest People I've Ever Met" = Probably disfigured. 2. "Very, Very Cool" = Missing a limb.
