September All Topic Thread - All Welcome Part 7

Yeah, I know - It's only the 31st of August. I won't be here to start it on the first, so here we go.
I trust nobody will post this thread until then.

"Bilious" is one of several words whose origins trace to the old belief that four bodily humors (black bile, yellow bile, phlegm, and blood) control temperament. Just like "phlegmatic" (“of a slow and stolid phlegm-driven character”), “melancholy” (“experiencing dejection associated with black bile”), and the recent Word of the Day "sanguine" (“of a cheerful, blood-based disposition”), "bilious" suggests a personality associated with an excess of one of the humors — in this case, yellow bile. "Bilious," which first appeared in English in the mid-1500s, derives from the Middle French “bilieux,” which in turn traces to “bilis,” Latin for "bile." In the past, "bile" was also called "choler," which gives us "choleric,” a synonym of “bilious.”

Thought I'd post this around lunch time. No, it's not directed in any way to our wonderful Bill's we appreciate so much here in So Cal!

Would have seemed heartfelt if not for the smiley at the end.

Where is George? We need our first part 7 before the day is through.

Couple of fun links for you Steve. Careful to those at work, they are sound files.

Can't imagine that role being anywhere near as funny had it been someone else.

I didn't think we would get split again, since this is the last day of the month.

I was looking for a clip of the quote in your post, but didn't find that one. That movie was on cable this weekend and we watched most of it.
