I watched it. It was good.

They told the embarrassing story about getting stuck in the White House bathtub. I felt bad for him.

Don't weep for Taft. His tubstucking should be worn as a badge of honor, not shame.

Taft wept openly when his former friend Teddy Roosevelt called him a "fathead".

Nowadays, it would have been "Anal-Boy".

I hereby predict that tubstucking will wend its way into the OED by the end of 2007.

Taft's story: He came, he saw, he ate, he ate some more, he got stuck in a tub, he pissed off his friend Teddy, the end.

Ok, Mark. Never assume, because... when I assume, I make an ASS out of U and ME.

Still...

Why does it seem everyone persist in continuing the thought of that point south, rather than the concept of anal-retentive?

I wasn't relating "Anal-Boy" to the anus. I was comparing an insult directed at the real President Taft with an insult that was lobbed at one of our members recently.

I know it was lobbed, and not on this board, and by a comic book professional no less. And yet, for some reason, in MY mind (not anyone else's necessarily) it seems like a lot of people regard anal-boy with anus, rather than anal - retentive, which really isn't bad, except to people that think detail oriented is bad.
