In her first public speech she opines she was: "the first person to have their reputation completely destroyed worldwide via the Internet" [^].
Yahoo: "1 p.m. ET, Lewinsky had already gained 18,000 followers."
This little coprolite of serendipity further reinforces my view that Twitter is to "popular culture" as Ebola is to virii.

A twit became a twist and now she's complaining she's been labeled a twit. The things that make you say hmmm.

She's know for a spotty reputation, due in no small part to not doing her laundry when her clothes really needed it.
By the way - does anyone think that it would be a good business plan to name a cigar after her?

It's really amusing how people blame this or that. Dear Monica - the only person responsible for destroying your reputation, is....YOU!
Though, not to be called a MCP (that's a Male Chauvinist Pig, not a Microsoft Certified Professional) I would agree that Bill did have a small part in that process to, if I, erm, 'member that correctly.

Mr. Bill certainly had a part in it - the fun part if I recall.
However - apparently Ms. Monica was trained by her mother to take advantage of such opportunities and encouraged by Linda Tripp to save the spotted garment.
No sympathy for little Monica - she'll just have to 'swallow' her pride and get on with things.

Sadly, if you made a line of petrified poop jewelry and offered it online for <$10.00, you'd sell a million units your first week.

Dear me.
"Popular culture" is a singular noun being used generically, while "virii" is a plural*.
What on Earth is the world coming to, when errors like this occur in Internet message-board postings?
* Which some might argue is misspelled, given that the rest of the posting is in English, not Latin.

I can make chili almost anytime of the year, but I prefer, to make it in the Fall/Winter time. For me, it is the perfect comfort food. I like to try different recipes. I haven't decided what recipe I will use for my first batch this year.
I know the internet has an endless supply, and imagination is half the fun, but I would be interested to see some of your recipes.

I have to admit that I'm cutting down on the hotter chilis.
There's a possibly older and funnier version of that text in Swedish[^]. But I assumed that would be a bit problematic for most people in the lounge to follow.
OT.
Thanks for the files.

Does it have the Wagner reference in it? I found that quite amusing, trying to imagine a Texan in a 10 gallon hat chill'in out with Wagner!

No, but it's a bit more descriptive, and has a quick recipe for the people in hurry. Skip all ingredients except the Tequila.

I love chili (hot, but not flaming) and can and do eat it any time of the year, but you're right it's better on a cool/cold day.
Which reminds me I need to stock up on flame retardant jockies.
