Hmm. Will it be sushi and will your private parts be covered by a fig leaf or something?

You are not answering the question.
 

Vegetarian sushi, sure. And I would be fully clothed with a tray balanced on me or something. I would possibly consent to serving fish-based sushi if the tray were as far from my face as possible.

ETA it seems like it would be more appropriate to have my private parts covered by seaweed.

I want the corporate site. Like, its own site. Third-party ones are more likely to be out of date.

ETA this should be read in an unbearably shrill whiny tone. I'm going home and having a bottle of wine or two.

Expedia's as current as you're going to get. It's not on their corporate site. Maybe they sold it.

I misunderstood the question.

I am not smart enough to be anyone's secretary.

You are not answering the question.
 

Your experience with celeb secretarys may have skewed your expectations too high.

You are not answering the question.
 

How could you misunderstand the question? And how could you say "I don't think you can say that circumsized penises look this way and uncircumsized penises look that way" and then claim that you never said that they weren't differentiable by appearance? How, bnb, how?

You are not answering the question.
 

Because what I meant was that I believe it is unwise to generalize about penises.

I am sorry for causing so much penis angst.

The Glory Days (no, not Penske's glory hole)
 

So anyway, last weekend I'm telling a longtime friend that a neighbor was in Evil Dead. My friend says she did sound for the project and then made noises (broke glass etc.) for a studio that were used in some other small film. She says she has a credit on the second film, so we IMDB her and she is there.

Who does this site? I can't imagine the man hours to input all this useless nonsense. Where is the percentage in doing that? Does someone get a piece of the backend?

You are not answering the question.
 

deleted. nevermind, i thought you said "penske angst"

The Glory Days (no, not Penske's glory hole)
 

People who make the noises are called Foley Artists. I do not know why.

I am in IMDB. I think anyone who lives in LA for more than 13 months winds up with a listing.

The Glory Days (no, not Penske's glory hole)
 

I think IMDB works at least in part like the whole "Who's Who" book / Martindale scheme - everybody gets a basic listing, but if you want it to say something useful/informative, you've got to pay.

I think the other half of their business model is selling subscriptions to the advance information.

US Open draw
 

Query - how does the US Open draw work? In particular, why are the seeds not placed in the bracket as per tradition (or at least the NCAA) so that 1 plays 32, 2 plays 31, 3 plays 30, etc. (in the round of 32, obviously changing from there, and assuming seeds win)? Is this a fairly new rule? Why--so that there's no "gaming" of seeds to avoid certain players?

The Glory Days (no, not Penske's glory hole)
 

but someone had to slog through every movie for every credit and enter all that data. It seems an immense, and useless task.

The Glory Days (no, not Penske's glory hole)
 

Welcome to the internet.

The Glory Days (no, not Penske's glory hole)
 

I just don't get the angle on this. What money is made by making sure my friend, who broke glass in '85 has a bio on IMDB. There had to have been a paid employee doing it and I don't see why anyone would pay to have it done.

Not Bob's Random Comments
 

1. While I have long known that this was a biological possibility, I discovered yesterday that I am apparently Paigow's father. The Not Bobette came home from the mall with a DVD of The Big Lebowski. Shut the fuck up, Donnie, indeed.

2. Satellite radio rawks. Last night, I heard the long version of "Black Coffee in Bed" by Squeeze. The other day, it was old Stevie Wonder -- "Don't You Worry 'Bout a Thing" and "Living in the City." Beautiful. This makes me realize how limited the playlists of ClearFinity stations really are. I can't remember the last time I heard any of those songs on a commerical radio station. I've probably heard "Ebony and Ivory" 300 times since the last time I heard "Living in the City." It's nice to be reminded that Stevie is a genius.

3. Uh, I thought that there was a 3, but apparently not.

That site gets a TON of hits b/c it's so comprehensive. It's the best all-around movie info site on the internet (by far). Why hold back? Studios pay the site to place ads for upcoming movie and DVD releases.

The Glory Days (no, not Penske's glory hole)
 

Not so hard. There are lots of ads for movies, etc. There's also a subscription portion where, if you're in the entertainment industry, you can get additional information, features, etc.

This is becoming a bible of the Industry, FWIW. There are also a small number of startups in Southern CA creating similar sites based on the premise that what producers, agents, and talent REALLY need is a website for them to connect and form a holistic online community. I sense that those VC dollars are unlikely to ever find a profitable exit, but whatever.

The Glory Days (no, not Penske's glory hole)
 

I haven't STPed, but a lot of it is a self-reporting community-wide effort sort of like Wikipedia, which means that a lot of the information in there is wrong. Obviously, the people who are involved in a project have an interest in making sure that their information is in there, but a lot of fans submit information which can lead to inaccuracies.

The Glory Days (no, not Penske's glory hole)
 

So I could get a bio? Create a fake movie that I starred in?

The Glory Days (no, not Penske's glory hole)
 

You could try.

I'll need artwork for the poster- can you get me help on Spec?

The Glory Days (no, not Penske's glory hole)
 

Most of the information on Wikipedia is very accurate (at least the encyclopedic information).

The Glory Days (no, not Penske's glory hole)
 

Are you trying to imply I'm not 6' 11"?

The Glory Days (no, not Penske's glory hole)
 

Right, and most of the information on the IMDB is very accurate, but sometimes there are errors.

and they'll be some lies also ITNF.

Kathryn Cramer has a very interesting photo essay using a lot of the Google Earth pictures on what's going on with the levee system in New Orleans. It's rather horrifying.

The Chronicle is reporting that they're moving the refugees from the Superdome to the Astrodome. HISD is waiving immunzation record requirements to let kids in our schools, Astroworld and many of the museums and symphony are letting people with drivers' licences from the affected states in for free. There's a firestation in Katy that took in a family of 88.

For some reason, in this context, the term "pie chart" is seeming far funnier to me than it should.

So they're kinda like snowflakes?

Bald exes.
 

I never claimed we were. For the record.

Yes, then at some point they melt into an indistinguishable puddle.

What's that like?

The uncut ones have a foreskin, which kinf of looks like a cowlneck or tutrleneck, depending on the fleshiness of it. Picture something kind of equivalent to the hood covering the female clitoris, only on the head of a penis.

Jesus, woman, there have to be pictures of this on the web. Have you no Google-fu?

You are not answering the question.
 

I just realized I've never seen an uncircumsized penis. Is this one of the questions on the purity test?

Based on NPR and the stuff I've seen on CNN etc., the Superdome sounds like it was becoming a nightmare because of food and water shortages. How miserable. It sucks that usually after a hurricane the sky clears up completely and the sun just BEATS down -- and there's no electricity and the water systems are fucked up.

You are not answering the question.
 

Exactly.

God, it's sad when only Wonk understands me.

With the Who's Who books, the whole business model is selling the books. For some reason, which was never explained to me, I wound up in Who's Who in American Law this year. They gave me the full bio, and didn't charge me a dime. They did, however, pepper me for weeks with offers to purchase the book and the "Special Pre-Publication Biographee's Rate" and also the chance to buy a lovely wooden placque celebrating my entry.

Unfortunately, I've never really had much use for the book and I don't have an ego wall for the plaque to go on.

Superdome
 

At first I thought you were responding to wonk's cowlneck post and it struck me that Superdome was a very funny name for the foreskin.

The Glory Days (no, not Penske's glory hole)
 

Why create one? Just enter the credits for the absurdist movie in your head.
