Oh Dear
 

In some fairness to her, if there was a possibility she was going to be in Mission 3, as the rumors suggested, she'd have probably had to do some really athletic-type stuff, and might have been slimming down for that.

Of course, now she's ruined her bod and won't even get the paycheck (not that she should be hard up for cash or roles . . .)

Oh Dear
 

I'm afraid you could end up with some major bruises.

Oh Dear
 

In fairness to you, that's an extremely lame excuse. Hot, healthy chicks can do athletic stuff. Anorexic chicks, who are no longer hot, aren't exactly in fighting form.

I'll defer to coltrane on this, but I suspect you're better off slimming down for athetlic purposes by training rather than binging and purging.

Oh Dear
 

She looks skinny, but not anorexic like Nicole Ritchie. She looks much skinnier than before - that is why she looks so skinny. I am about as skinny as she is, and I eat like a pig but work out all the time. She could just be working out. I agree - the look doesn't suit her, and the cigarette doesn't suggest that she is a workout fiend, but you never know.

And generally bulimics aren't skinny, so binging and purging doesn't get you there.

Oh Dear
 

Thanks for the deference, but I've never intentionally slimmed down. It usually just happens. I'll drop way down right before taper (b/c I'm at peak mileage), but I'm back to normal two weeks after the race. I frequently eat entire large pizzas during peak mileage time. And then I have a bowl of ice cream. RP is probably just understanding how enjoyable this can be.

Oh Dear
 

But you're still hot, right?

Oh Dear
 

There is good 5'3" 100 lbs, and there is bad 5'3" 100 lbs. I have dated the former, and her frame was tiny. She didn't look underweight at all, but she had never been naturally curvy. She was objectively hot.

Lindsay's frame is not tiny. She naturally has curves. She's not an inherently petite girl.

You are probably the former as well (proportionally - I don't know how tall you are). Two girls of the same height/weight can look drastically different based on their bone/muscle structure. I have a friend who is about the same height as me. Most people would agree that I look bigger than him. He outweighs me by 20 lbs.

Oh Dear
 

I wish -- I feel full after two bites. Must be all that fat pushing on my stomach. Last night I had a salad for dinner and then had to practically force the strawberry milkshake down.

Torture, I tell you.

Oh Dear
 

I agree with this analysis, but I don't think LL looks that bad. The swimsuit is unflattering, as are the lighting and the camera angles. She could use a little more meat on her legs, but what the hell? I want to fuck her, not fry her up and serve her in a bucket.

Oh Dear
 

That goes without saying.

Oh Dear
 

I agree. But her selling point has always been her body (and maybe her red hair). As RP stated, she's somewhat pretty in the face, but she isn't beautiful. I've wanted to fuck her b/c of her body. Her old body.

Oh Dear
 

So who is it that you want to fry up and serve in a bucket?

Oh Dear
 

Children. Preferable tender, succulent new ones.

Oh Dear
 

Britney's due in October and I'll bet that kid will be family-sized.

Oh Dear
 

Yes, spindly SCREAMS athletic. What on earth are you smoking?

Oh Dear
 

Eating disorders get a lot of press because they create excellent ammunition for people who think the media portayals of beauty are warping young women. Its a very popular thing to self-righteously say "Hollywood is giving children unhealthy and unreasonable ideals of beauty." Its the sort of thing the NYTimes magazine would let Susan Sontag spew about for 15 pages. Psychiatrists sell loads of books about it. Its a suburban upper middle class malady, so it gets tons of press (also perfect fodder for Lifetime network movies). It provides a rallying point for a lot of people with gripes against Hollywood.

So she lost too much weight. She's a knucklehead. Next.

Oh Dear
 

Tom DeLay
Charles Dobson
Bill Frist

Dick Cheney

Robert Novak
Anne Coulter
Omar Sharif

Oh Dear
 

I think its James Dobson. But who knows - maybe there is a Charles out there who looks tasty.

Omar Sharif?

Oh Dear
 

Blech! Are you trying to kill me? A slice of Cheney's ass might be okay, but I'll wait for Brittany's butter baby.

Oh Dear
 

You better have one helluva secret recipe, featuring at least 11 herbs and spices. It's not gonna be easy to make that crew palatable, live or fried up.

And Omar Sharif? WTF? Is he even still alive? Loved him in Lawrence of Arabia, and see no real reason to fry him and serve him in a bucket. But maybe I'm missing something (aka "whiffing.")

Costume poll
 

That explains the cheerleader costume.

Oh Dear
 

Have you seen teenagers lately? A nice healthy eating disorder might do them some good.

I actually hope to cement my future today. Odd, I know. But sometimes things just work out that way.

Oh Dear
 

History's greatest monster.

Oh Dear
 

Have you tried to buy a soda lately? I went into the local WAWA (PA thing) to get a can of Diet Cherry Coke. I could not find one. They only make bottles, and the bottles are all 20 oz. Now, it doesn't matter how much diet soda you drink, so I buy the bottle. But if I were a fatty fat who enjoyed the sugar sodas, I'd be all the fatter because each time I wanted a soda, I'd have to have 20 fucking ounces of it. What kind of person drinks a 20 oz bottle of sugar water?

Oh Dear
 

I buy the little 8 (6?) oz cans of Diet Coke. A full 12 oz is too much for me.

Either you are a racist fuck of the worst order, or you know absolutely nothing of the man. I demand that you take that back.

"Sharif is the only Egyptian to have become an international film star, and he has played characters of almost every nationality in the Western world. He was born in Alexandria, Egypt as Michael Shalhoub, the son of a wealthy timber merchant, and of Lebanese and Syrian parentage. He spoke only French during his early childhood years, but later learned to speak six languages fluently.

He studied mathematics and physics at Victoria College in Cairo, where he also became interested in acting. After graduation, Sharif worked in his father's timber importing business for five years, yet longed to apply to England's Royal Academy of Dramatic Art in London.

In 1953 he was nearing a positive parental response to his persuasiveness when he was offered the lead in the Egyptian film The Blazing Sun, starring opposite Faten Hamama, who was then the top female star in the area. He took the name Omar El-Sharif when he starred in the film—later dropping the El when he entered international films—and critical praise and nominations followed for the film's debut at the Cannes Film Festival. Four years later, Sharif returned to Cannes starring in award-winning Goha.

Sharif became the country's number one star and idol. He went on to star in 26 Egyptian and two French films over the next several years, also establishing his own production company in Cairo. He had just paid a record price for an Egyptian best-seller when he was cast in Lawrence of Arabia, changing the course of his life.

On stage, Sharif has starred in a revival of Terrence Rattigan's famous play, The Sleeping Prince, at the Chichester Festival Theatre in Sussex, England.

His numerous television performances include the telefilms The Far Pavilions for HBO, Vicious Circle for the BBC, Peter the Great for ABC, and Anastasia: The Mystery of Anna for NBC, as well as S*H*E, Grand Larceny, Lion in the Desert, Memories of Midnight, Red Eagle and German Television's miniseries of Catherine the Great.

Always interested in the game of bridge, Sharif became a top-flight international tournament player, and he continues to write a widely-syndicated newspaper column on the subject. He is also a highly ranked backgammon player, and additionally owns a string of race horses which he breeds and runs on French, British and Irish tracks."

Cousin finally come through with that cement masons' union gig you've always wanted? If I were to leave the law it would be for the ironworkers, but to each his own.

anyone else
 

Because it's required that you drink on the job?

anyone else
 

One of many many perks.

In all seriousness I know a guy who did just that -- left his practice to join the union and become an ironworker. Now he swings from a harness under the Manhattan Bridge. It was a PI practice, but still.

Slut.

hahahahhahaha you can't get me, my web nanny blocked it.

I'm still going to get fuck-all done today. I opened my eyes this morning, looked at the clock, and it was 9:30. Whoops.

Oh Dear
 

Eating disorders get a lot of press because they create excellent ammunition for people who think girls who get too skinny and lose their boobs are less fun to fuck than others. Its a very popular thing to self-righteously say "I wouldn't fuck her with taxwonk's dick." It's the sort of thing an anoymous internet chat board for bored lawyers would let Sebastian Dangerfield spew about for 15 posts. Bloggers write loads of snarky lines about it. It's a suburban middle class malady, so it gets lots of internet discussion (also perfect fodder for water-cooler chat). It provides a rallying point for a lot of people who are bored out of their fucking minds at work, and worry that their own asses might be getting too fat.

We post too much here. We don't bill enough. Next.

Oh Dear
 

If you're trying to shame me into actually doing some work today, I should let you know I am as shameless as slave is hairless.

Oh Dear
 

I am easily motivated by guilt and shame, but I don't bill.

Oh Dear
 

You need a universal moral code.

Oh Dear
 

It just so happens that I have one in my pants.

Oh Dear
 

I think "motivated by guilt and shame" is a universal moral code. Or part of one.

Oh Dear
 

I've heard that particular moral code is unreliable. One day up, one day down, sometimes faces north, sometimes south, sometimes little, sometimes even littler, etc.

Oh Dear
 

I think my partial one could use supplementation from yours, but only when it's facing out toward space and is not little.
