    They did a background check and the whole subject of eating a bag of dicks surfaced.

    It sure seems like you are contradicting yourself with your post.

    It would seem acquiring them would be a more impressive skill than actually eating them.

    Or marketing them, depending on where you are.

    Should Lisa or Kevin happen upon this thread, I apologize for making it about dick eating.

    No worries. I can't speak for Kevin, but it's made me laugh.

    Thanks everyone for the good thoughts. (Thanks, everyone, for the good thoughts? Simon, I agree, it would be great if every media site started hiring quality copy editors. They've saved me more times than I can count. I wish I could wave a magic wand and bring some along with me.)
    I believe AOL will be relaunched next week. It should be fun.

    Happy as well for Lisa. I too don't forsee myself clicking into AOL either unless they change how they do things.

    In past any article you want to read requires you to click through 4-5 teasers so AOL can pad their view totals. I refuse to play if something requires more than 2 clicks or if my computer bogs down with junk loading article.

    So, congrats Lisa!

    But, here's the question, if I buy a bag of chips and it's actually dicks, can I sue someone?
