Your str8 of the day.
You think he looks good for his age? I think he's one of the homeliest men alive. I will grant you he doesn't look 40, but I also think he looks like one of those stupid cartoon monkeys that German designer was plastering all over t-shirts for young Eurotrash and Japanese girls in the 80s.

If you want an honest comparison for Lee, compare him to Vince Neil, who's totally gone to seed.
With car-wreck fascination I watched part of the Eagles "farewell concert" yesterday afternoon on NBC. It was odd hearing Joe Walsh singing about going to parties sometimes until four and how everybody's so different but he hasn't changed just moments after singing a song about how he's living life one day at a time.

Most of my exes are now bald (or at least tonsured). And have pot bellies.

Except for the one who looks exactly the same. He's a musical theater actor in the midwest and is living with a guy named Chad.

Men with grandma earrings
 
I finally have to ask: what is it with young (late teens, early 20s) African American men wearing earrings that look like they came out of my grandma's costume jewelry drawer? I'm not talking about the sports-star-wanna-be 5 carat stud things, I'm talking about big pave knot or flower designs the size of a nickle. The guy on the train this morning was actually wearing a CLIP ON. Seriously, my grandma got one just like it from her Avon lady in about 1962.

And it didn't go very well with his "Thug Life" T-shirt with a rhinestone covered picture of TuPak flipping the bird.

Why is that so many men equate personal maintenance with being a fruitcake or metrosexual? Half my friends look like shit and they all gripe when they hear any of us go to the gym and keep appearances up. Is it wrong to want to remain the same? I don't get these cats I know who decide 35 is time to grow four waist sizes and talk about wide screen televisions and which bar has the best sliders.

What really confuses me is a lot of these slugs have hot wives who still look damn good. I always wonder how they screw these slovenly men.

And what happens to these guys when they get divorced? What sort of woman does a pot bellied, bald 37 year old slug shoot for? What does one call this hopeless creature (an animal identifier like "cougar")? Are these guys just shunned from the tribe and left to whittle away their lives in apartments, amidst beer cans, pizza boxes and a wide screen plasma, like Milhouse's Dad?

No, they find a "tick-tock-tick" 30-something wannabe baby machine who's ready to immediately settle down and only needs a new white dress.

There was a woman I worked with that did the 2 different shoes all the time. She ended up buying many pairs of shoes as a result. The funniest one was where she came to work in her slippers and said she didn't notice until she was half-way to work. By then it was too late to turn around. She blamed the hectic schedule - getting kids ready for school, blah blah blah. Get ready to find yourself wearing slippers to work.

Ben Affleck is getting paid $1.8 million to star in spots for Lynx body spray, “demonstrating the magnetic effect the body spray has on women.” The ads will be shown in the UK, according to the Brit trade magazine Campaign.

From the website....

Did you know?
Women follow their nose when searching for a partner. A survey has found that women rate the smell of a man as more important than his looks as it apparently indicates how healthy he is – and therefore how healthy his offspring might be.

British men worry about their self image, with personal freshness, bad breath and body odour causing the most stress.

It's official, men are taking more of an interest in how they smell, look and attract the opposite sex - the male toiletries market is worth £422 million and increases by 2% each year.

With its coolly seductive fragrances and packaging, Lynx deodorant is now the UK’s top male grooming brand by coming up with a constant stream of out-there products to give young guys serious pulling power. It must be working because 8 million guys use a Lynx deodorant each day. And we’ve got proof that Lynx products will get the girls going – nearly half of all Lynx purchases are made by women!
Is this like that stuff from the eighties that was purchasable in supermarkets and if you wore it, strange men would suddenly give you flowers?

Ben Affleck. What is his currrent price in Hollywood? Has his last bomb sealed his fate? Does he need a quick buck to cover his betting habit?

I am strangely pleased that he and JHo both pretty much wrecked their careers.

While I am musing,. my mother pointed out to me that JHo has had everthing done to her face possible. Even I didn't catch this (besides the procedure to get rid of her acne scars that were visible in Out of Sight). Maybe if I am motivated I will find a pic of her from ten years ago and compare.

Can you tell I am tired?

The only time this ever happened to me was in law school. During second year, while interviewing with a particularly white shoe firm, I looked down and realised I had on one black pump and one navy pump.

So don't go blaming this kind of crap on motherhood.

I know Lisa Kudrow's a good actress, from seeing her in, among other things, The Opposite of Sex. I had also believed she is a funnier person as well. I'm sort of clinging to the hope that her being so unbearably obnoxious on the show is part of a very dark joke, like the end of Hannibal.

But I also cheered when she punched Paulie G. in the gut.
To out str8 NCS, the guy who plays the other show-runner (the less fat one, Rob Bagnell) went to Tisch with my wife. We used to hang out some, but she doesn't much like her old college friends, so we don't see him much any more. He wasn't even invited to the bris. But I think he's pretty funny on that show, even if the show is pretty much crap.

I think I've documented here a couple of times occassions where I've mismatched shoes and/or forgotten essential undergarments.
