the FTC organization doesn't know their own free phone number?
and
they didn't know about the other 800 number?
my BS-o-meter is going crazy

I've had these. They taste like pubes.

@ Midtown - At least they don't taste like jizz on your wig.

Is this guy from the old X Football league? His name couldn't be "85". Sort of like that "He Hate Me" guy.

He is a current member of the Cincinnati Bengals team. His name used to be Chad Johnson, and his number is 85. He fell madly in love with the number, and he had his name changed legally to 8 and 5 in Spanish. I know very little Spanish, but I am assuming that 85 is not actually ocho cinco. He had some kind of reality show on television recently, and he was also a contestant on Dancing with the Stars in the last go-round, which I didn't see, either He likes to tweet during games, which I understand the NFL frowns upon.

Gee, Sheila. I feel so out of touch with pop culture. You're right about "ocho cinco" isn't Spanish for the number, but I get the feeling that this guy doesn't care how dumb he looks.

[Sheila]

I prefer to be as out of touch as possible with pop culture, but it washes over us with the relentless ubiquity of a major tsunami after an 8.0.

[Sigh]

I think ochenta y cinco sounded to effeminate.

Not any worse than U2's "Uno, dos, tres, catorce," which is "1, 2, 3, 14" in Spanish.

[Sigh]

Lol 'Coog.

"Ochenta y cinco". Numbers in Spanish aren't really pronounced as a single word when above thirty.
