It's fun being PLF.

PLF isn't so whiffletoodinous as you. The very point of that riff was the universal quality of the experience and how it could transform even the most fastidious person into one who does not care what she spills on her overpriced underattractive maternity wear.

But you just keep your head up by mine, dear, and you probably won't faint. Remember, there's normally quite a lot of blood, so don't be scared.

Elijah Wood is very very gay

Elijah Wood is finally addressing those gay rumors. And unlike Tom Cruise, he’s not threatening to sue. Wood says he likes to surf the Web and look at doctored photos that put him in compromising positions with men.

“There’s one that’s called elijahwoodisveryverygay, which is actually a personal favorite of mine, it’s absolutely hilarious,” Wood said, reports World Entertainment News Network. “It’s this kind of joke Web site that maintains that they have proof that I am very, very gay in various photographs — photographic evidence (of me) holding hands with a male.”

Wood says some of the “photos” are pretty realistic. “I was actually at a film festival once... and this fan came up with a gift... I open the gift in front of all these people that I’m talking to and it happens to be a photo from one of these Web sites of me and [LOTR co-star] Dominic Monaghan making sweet love,” Wood explains.” If you didn’t know any better, it kinda looks real. These people have a lot of time on their hands and my hat’s off (to them) because it’s very good work.””

He's not actually addressing the gay rumors there (and I'm not saying he should). He's merely commenting on the stupidity of the web sites.

Has anybody caught Kathy Griffin's little bit on "Clay Gaiken"?

8?

Apparently it's about 106 billion.

I didn't even read your post, crabbo.

Considering the average mother probably has, historically, had several children, he's got the right order of magitude. Not that he did so by anything other than luck.

James Bond thinks like Thurgreed

Pierce Brosnan is neither shaken nor stirred by the sex scenes in the Bond flicks. He thinks they’re too tame. “You’re not even allowed to show a bloody nipple,” the four-time Bond star told British GQ. “It’s pathetic. (I hope he means "bloody" nipple and not "bloody nipple.")
What Bond needs is a good, palpable killing sequence and a good sex scene — and it doesn’t have to be graphic, you can use your imagination.”

Brosnan, who starred opposite such Bond babes as Teri Hatcher and Denise Richards, says that Halle Berry probably was his favorite. “I think Halle is right up there,” he said. “She is just a luscious girl with such a beautiful body and she’s a good woman, too. She has a great sense of her own sexuality, so she knows it and she plays it.” And no food stains.

I got the right order of magnitude from a great source...an article from The Onion titled "Miracle of Birth Occurs for 8 Billionth Time"

Actually, the article stated "...83 Billionth Time"

Divide by 2 for women. Subtract a bunch to account for spinsters.

I'd believe he was gay before I'd buy him as a West Ham casual.

Explain please. If 106 billion people have been born, how is 8 billion pregnant women the right order of magnitude?

A large portion of that usually comes up front as guaranteed payment, usually in the form of a signing bonus. The parties regularly agree to ludicrous sums in the later years of a long term contract knowing that it will be renogiated for salary cap/performance reasons (though this can have a negative impact on the player's value to the team as trade bait). The owners can unilaterally cancel the contract, but the players . . .

Oops. Wrong discussion. Sorry.

Are you suggesting that Skee-Lo is guilty of a gramatical error?

By the way, I know how and when to use the subjonctif and the conditionel and the imparfait in french, but I have no idea of the english equivalents.

Still . . . I wish I was a little bit taller, I wish I was a baller. I wish I had a girl who looked good; I would call her. I wish I had a rabbit and a hat and 64 Impala.

Well, that certainly convinces me. I'll hold my breath waiting for the MLB and NBA player's associations' push for non-guaranteed contracts with the only guaranteed money coming in the form of bonuses.

I see. I guess you never dreamt of owning a team...as a hobby.

Sure, there are a good number of players who have signing bonuses that guarantee a lush lifestyle for the rest of their lives. Sure, many of them make so much more than we could ever hope to make, even if they are caught in a contract and aren't earning what is market for their position. But arguing that the players are so lucky that they shouldn't whine about getting fucked by owners is the argument I avoid having with the idiot at the game wearing this:

Are you one of those guys who think baseball should never have been forced to give players free agency too?

So many of the players in the NFL have very short careers (on average, careers last three years). Minimum salaries for the first three years are as follows:

1st year -- $225,000
2nd year -- $300,000
3rd year -- $375,000

Combine that with the fact that most players don't receive signing bonuses that will ensure their financial security in case of injury. Then throw in the fact that teams can release players in the middle of their contracts without being responsible for any of the player's salary for the remaining years on the contract. Once you've got that bubbling, sprinkle in all the injuries and destruction on players' bodies a lifetime of football brings and tell me again why I should weep for owners and turn my nose up at the players for being spoiled brats living my childhood dream. I'd switch places with any owner before any player in a second.

And yet, a douche bag like Chris Hetherington (sucky Yale QB, class of 1995 (yet oddly born in 1970, I think) has managed a 10+ year career playing fullback and special teams for crappy teams (I saw him in a 49ers uniform this week).

Death to Hetherington.
