gcreptile 5,923 Posted January 1 Risky pick, but in pure terms of probability, better than, say, Dick Van Dyke. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dr_T 248 Posted February 7 I can't quite remember the whole story, but 20+ years ago someone ran a competition to write a limerick containing the names Kaczynski and Lewinski. I think these were two of the winners. Monica Lewinsky has shown, What Kaczynski must surely have known. That a head job is better Than a bomb in a letter, If there's something that needs to be blown. Said Bill Clinton to Monica Lewinsky: You don't want to leave clues like Kaczynski. So since you look such a mess, Take the hem of your dress, And wipe that stuff off of your chinski. There was a third as well which had the lines: She played "Hail to the Chief", on that flute made of beef....but I don't remember the rest. 4 13 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I dont think he'll want to get any sort of treatment for his cancer, apart from palliative. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
arghton 2,314 Posted February 7 Atleast we now know that he is ill and not just in FMC Butner for treatment of a broken leg or something else like that asshole called Russell Weston Jr. (Of course Teddy could be doing a Zia and exaggerating his health issues as a desperate attempt to get to spend his last year(s) outside of jail, one possible option is that he has cancer but it isn't terminal. Who knows.) The exact part of the letter it's mentioned in is this: I'm not going to "get well soon" --or ever-- because I have terminal cancer. I can't expect to live more than two years at the outside, and I may well be dead in less than a year, so the work will have to be done by younger people. The second option (less than 1y), please?

Dr_T 248 Posted February 10 Ah the internet never forgets Here is a cut and paste about the limericks. This is from a contest whose requirements were to use the words Lewinsky and Kaczynski (the Unibomber) in a limerick. Winner: There once was a gal named Lewinsky Who played on a flute like Stravinsky 'Twas "Hail to the Chief" On this flute made of beef That stole the front page from Kaczynski. First runner up: Said Bill Clinton to young Ms. Lewinsky We don't want to leave clues like Kaczynski, Since you look such a mess, Use the hem of your dress And wipe that stuff off of your chinsky. Second runner up: Lewinsky and Clinton have shown What Kaczynski must surely have known: That an intern is better Than a bomb in a letter Given the choice of how to be blown 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
