I'm hoping rusty raises it to a hundred bucks then I've just got to get someone to believe that my account is a bargain at fifty. I've made all of 2 comments in the years I've had it.
"For the last eight years, Mr. Nimoy, who is 76 and an established photographer, has been snapping pictures of plus-size women in all their naked glory. "The average American woman, according to articles I've read, weighs 25 percent more than the models who are showing the clothes they are being sold," Mr. Nimoy said. "So, most women will not be able to look like those models. But they're being presented with clothes, cosmetics, surgery, diet pills, diet programs, therapy, with the idea that they can aspire to look like those people. It's a big, big industry. Billions of dollars. And the cruelest part of it is that these women are being told, 'You don't look right.' "
An Ada exception is when a routine gets in trouble and says 'Beam me up, Scotty'.
