Wait, she didn't know what it meant, and she broke up with him? I could get him breaking up with her....
nope I'm pretty sure it refers to the fruit. After all plums fit easily into your hand, and they've got a bit of heft to them so they're fairly easy to throw. Plus, you hear it more in rural areas. That's because more people lived in rural areas then, and you needed an area where there weren't a lot of buildings.
My favorite Clavinism:
“Well, you see, Norm, it’s like this. A herd of buffalo can only move as fast as the slowest buffalo. And when the herd is hunted, it’s the slowest and weakest ones at the back that are killed first. This natural selection is good for the herd as a whole, because the general speed and health of the whole group keeps improving by the regular killing of the weakest members.
In much the same way, the human brain can only operate as fast as the slowest brain cells. Now, as we know, excessive intake of alcohol kills brain cells. But naturally, it attacks the slowest and weakest brain cells first. In this way, regular consumption of beer eliminates the weaker brain cells, making the brain a faster and more efficient machine.
And that, Norm, is why you always feel smarter after a few beers.”
Yea, I installed Chrome at work as well. There are certain things that just don't work with IE very well. In fact when we had to switch to IE 9 at work my google maps became barely fucntional in IE. Just me, no one else

Woo's and Nickel's are pretty spot on.
I'd also argue that KC's avi encompasses her pretty well.

We have our first 10U slow pitch softball game this weekend (I say "we" as I'm the assistant coach). I only have two hopes for this game.
1. That at least one out of every 5 pitches is a strike.
2. That I can adequately disguise the fact that I'm staring at the head coach's yoga pants (at least enough so that Mrs. JCyclonee doesn't notice).
Go Flamingos!

I always picture you riding around on an old-timey bike on the trails so I'd put jbhtexas at least second.
Are you staring at the yoga pants or trying to stare through them?
Good luck on the pitching wish.
I guess I was discounting ones that were actual pictures of the poster so these weren't in my calculation.
At them of course. I don't want to see the infield dirt* on the other side and I don't have a dirty mind like you!
* Man, everything in baseball can be used an euphemism. I can't think of one thing that can't so I just went with my initial thought.
