I know the br'er rabbit story. What I don't know is what "tar baby dolls" are. Are these some sort of common toy? Could one buy a "tar baby doll' if I wanted one, say to decorate a restaurant for MLK Day?

Fook.
My electric shaver is broke which means not only is shaving more inconvenient but I'm turning all spotty again- not shaving so often makes them break out and cutting them accidently turns them into big red nasties.

No idea how common they are, a quick search of ebay and amazon shows one.

Nothing wrong with a good old wet-shave. I've never done anything else!

[Maybe that's why I'm a bit spotty still...at my age... ]

The first 20 seconds are amazing

I can't hear the exchange over the laugh track.

Is there any sight normally encountered in the average office more revolting than that of a truly obese secretary hoovering up leftover event cake? 

Go into the kitchenette a few minutes ago, someone left some of that cheap spongecake left over from an office baby shower there for all takers, and there was a woman with an ass almost wider than she was tall spooning in in her gob like her life depended on it. Ordinary forks not being commodious enough (or maybe just not any washed), she was using a salad fork; not bothering to cut slices and put 'em on a plate, either - just vaccuming that sugary confection up straight from the cardboard. 

That's it, I'm going on a diet again.

She's on about the royal's decision to spend their anniversary in Malta saying it was prince Phillip's decision to do this when who should walk past but the Duke of Edinburgh himself. I can't make out what she says next but something about them deciding to be private to which the Duke says 'Did we?'.

That woman was my sister....you bastard...

I want sponge cake now.

Also, the Greek PM apparently pointed the finger of blame at hedge funds at Davos.

Ah, yeah. I was wondering why the otherwise super-fiscally-responsible and fastidious Greeks would have found themselves in this situation. That explains it.

Phillip will be missed when he and the missus get to old to go on visits.

Well, tell your sister not to wear stretchy pants. Please.

She should never have been hired

She probably wasn't a gigantic whale when she was hired 25 years ago.
