Of course, getting angry and posting a mad face while personally attacking another poster isn't exactly an adult discussion, but we can roll with the punches here.
Meaning
Publicly retell of one's sexual exploits, often with the aim of revenge or monetary gain.
Origin
Kiss and tell is of course a euphemism - firstly, when stories of this sort arise we can take it for granted they will include details of more than just kissing. Also, if as is often the case now, they are printed in tabloid newspapers, sell would be a more appropriate word than tell. It might be thought to be a recent phenomenon, but it dates back to at least the late 17th century and appears in Congreve's play Love for Love, 1695:

Because if there is no deep threat they'll crowd the line.
I think Patriots will steam roll BWI because even against a good defense they'll score 4 or so TDs while BWI seems to only score 20 or less. I'm betting Giants vs Patriots in a rematch. My bet, patriots, but manning sure has a way to win while looking like his uniform is 3 sizes too large. Should be a good one.

Here is the LAX numbers from Welcome to Los Angeles World Airports - LAX Statistics
[TABLE DELETED]
The last table I made up. It divided out the passengers by the same aircraft size.

We're discussing AK codeshare, and the numbers ARE interesting to compare to the real-life experience of folks in LAX on the 73. Either the numbers are BS, which is what it seems to folks dealing with the LAX73n bid package, or they are some version of the truth... in which case there must be some other changed factor we're not discussing that makes the numbers jive with the current terrible experience out there. We're not looking at that, and I'd expect it's the meat of the matter.
Buzz maybe hit it with the idea of an increase of wide-body flying, maybe Japan stuff? that is MASKING a serious decrease in narrow-body flying, or at least quality of flying, out there. You know, it's possible there is truth in BOTH sides of this discussion, if you don't have to force an "either-or" answer.

Oh man! The village is missing something. Get his pictures on the milk cartons quick.
And to think it is likely that you are collecting FPL while experiencing your complete lack of control here.

Yes the Giants are hot, but it will be another level of def that they haven't seen for awhile. San Fran wins and puts pressure on Brady in the Super Bowl. Did you see how the Jets last year and the year before Balt. took care of the Pats. I'm not a S.F fan. They just have the best overall team. Vegas line is 3-1 for them for the SB. I'll take it and buy a new TV, you can thank me later or just pay yourself back on Feb 14th if I'm wrong.
Now I know you can say the defense caused them like in the case of the first one when MSY was about to score, that was defense caused for sure and brutal. The ones on special teams were blunders to me and Brees may have gotten sloppy. Tough defense for sure, but 5:1 turnovers to win in the last few seconds, eh.
So I guess I'm selling on SFO. I'll take Manning and Jacobs and their defensive line peaking late in the season.
But in the Super Bowl, even with a bad defense how in the world do you out score Brady? He can pick a part seemingly everybody and so I have to say they're poised to win it all. I don't think it's close if SFO is in it with Smith having to pass to keep up, I think it's closer with Manning.
Full disclosure-grew up Redskin fan, don't like Snyder so I don't like them, never cared to find another team. I've got enough invested in CFB.

Monica Lewinski could write a tell all book.
Buzz writing a book on the President losing the nuclear "biscuit" is probably a dereliction of duty type book.
Which by the way:
Biscuit?
Buzz writing a book on the President losing the nuclear "biscuit" is probably a dereliction of duty type book.
Which by the way:
Gen. Hugh Shelton, who served under Clinton as Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, tells the story in his just-published memoir, “Without Hesitation: The Odyssey of an American Warrior.”
“At one point during the Clinton administration,” Shelton writes, “the codes were actually missing for months. [...] That’s a big deal — a gargantuan deal.”
Shelton’s anecdote comes from 2000. [That other guy] left the White House in 1998, so either Shelton’s dating of the incident is in error, or Clinton lost the biscuit twice.
