Perhaps UB50 is one of those folks who would--mistakenly--use the word "pour" in that context.

While I have to admit that I am somewhat surprised that the folks at CNN used that verb correctly, I am also gratified that they have
--at least--one person on their staff who knew how to express himself/herself correctly.

Yes, I would have used "poured" so I guess I learned something today!

I don't consider it to be a good day unless I learn at least one new thing.
So, if you are at all like me, then you should consider this to be a good day!

"I'm being screwed by a relitor"

Relitor?
Wasn't that the name of one of those Japanese movie monsters?

My dog was leashed and there's where running free. They would try to blame my dog because he's a Pitt:



I wonder if her dog is Brad?

When will these intercollegiate rivalries cease?
Why can't the dogs who graduated from other colleges leave this canine University of Pittsburgh alumnus in peace?
