Effing Nimrod?

You all remember Pulp Fiction, right?

Vincent: Jules, you give that fucking nimrod fifteen hundred dollars and I'll shoot him on general principle.

I have always wondered why  nimrod. Nimrod was a biblical figure, the great-grandson of Noah, a big hunter (possibly of men) and supposedly the builder of the Tower of Babel.

So why did Vincent use it meaning "idiot"?

Well, apparently it's all Bugs Bunny's fault. Ain't no kiddin' neither. American Heritage Dictionary lists the alternative meaning of nimrod as:

2. Informal A person regarded as silly, foolish, or stupid.

After Nimrod. Sense 2, probably from the phrase "poor little Nimrod," used by the cartoon character Bugs Bunny to mock the hapless hunter Elmer Fudd.

Damn

Just spoke to a girl in our Texas office reserving a room for our vendor demo teleconference.

She had that slight Southern accent...damn it's sexy, people. I got lost in the conversation for a few seconds...

Chiropractor

If anyone needs a good chiro specialist, I just visited this one: http://www.drshoshany.com

Cool dude: very attentive, immediate hi-res digital xray of the neck done right there with no waiting, identified misalignment and adjusted my neck and upper back, and did 10 minutes of electro therapy to relax  shoulder muscles. All together -- 30 minutes, less even.

Takes all kinds of insurance too.
