Guys shoes aren't that trendy. Gender adjusted, I'd say ferragamo is on the trendier side. Even though Ferragamo isn't as trendy as Bally or Prada, it had switched to more squarish toes to follow the trends (bruno magli did the same). Less trendy would be Santoni (or not Italian, but, Churches), which never really switched to squarish toes. Ferragamo's flashiness really shoes in the designs of its belt buckles though. The shapes are out there compared to other designers.Back to top _ coup_d'skek My rank is higher than your rank.

Seriously though, the focus should not be the clothes put on your body, but rather the body on which you put the clothes. Isn't that the point of dressing sexy? To have people (in most cases the opposite sex) notice how much cleavage or leg you reveal? If you don't have the cleavage (some praise to the inventor of the Miracle Bra, although I do consider it to be false advertising), or cottage cheese thighs, get thee to the plastic surgeon and/or the gym. That way, you'll look good no matter what you're wearing, with the goal, of course, to ultimately not be wearing anything at all.

Will it stay that way, or will we have to do that everytime we check in? I don't think it will stay that way permanently. Here's why we choose newest posts at the top: 1. It "feels" more like the old boards, i.e. when you clicked on "messages" you got a message index with the newest posts at the top of the page. The same thing happens here (except for that brief moment after you actually post, when it, for some reason, reverts back to newest at the bottom), but rather than a message index, you get a page with 30 (?) posts. 2. This allows you to bookmark a forum/topic. If you bookmark this topic, whenever you come back to it from your favorites, the newest posts will be on the page (assuming there hasn't been more than a full page of posts, in which case you'll have to go back a page to view the other new posts, just like at the old place). If we had newest posts on the bottom, bookmarking a topic would be silly, since you would end up having to click on the last page of posts in that topic, anyway, which always changes as more pages of posts are added. So, I think you'll come to like the newest posts at the top thing. Just give it a chance. Back to top _ spookyfish My rank is higher than your rank.

So, I think you'll come to like the newest posts at the top thing. Just give it a chance. It's not going to "feel" like the old site because there is no index of posts with each post that you've already read highlighted. So, reading from top down is easier and more intuitive. My vote is for newest posts at the bottom (or at least the ability for us to make it permanent for just ourselves), if that is possible. And if you bookmark, it will take you to the newest page of posts whether they are on the top or bottom, am I right?

Posted: Mon Mar 10, 2003 12:38 pm__ _Post subject: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Thing is, there is a little issue when old posts roll onto a new page and you click page 2 to see the old posts. Rather than having newest first on the previous pages, it does newest last. makes it a bit confusing. In other words, I'm thinking of deleting the little snippet of code I included to get the newest first default. Until I can figure out how to make it so that the newest post is always first on every page, no matter how you go there, I'll probably let the board default to the way it normally is (newest posts last). _________________Back to top _ Sparklehorse Moving On Up Joined: 10 Mar 2003 Posts: 15 Posted: Mon Mar 10, 2003 12:41 pm__ _Post subject: dinner clubs ------------------------------------------------------------------------ I have been looking for a dinner club for a little while in my burg and just heard about one this weekend.

I'm curious to know if anyone has an experiences with something comparable and whether they're worthwhile, as compared to speed dating and the old online personal crap. Sparkles, is this a dating service or a way to meet new people? The one I mentioned says it's a way to meet people but dating also seems to be part of the agenda. It's also part of my agenda but I find myself railing against the online dating scene so I'm looking for a more productive way to meet single people my age with similar interests and let the dating part take care of itself. Back when I first moved to the Bay Area a few years ago, someone had a craigslist posting for a cooking club for people in their late twenties and early thirties who liked to cook but didn't have time, space, or felt sort of silly cooking a great meal for one. I responded to the posting, and about eight to ten of us would get together every month and have a nice dinner party. Some of us would meet up off line to go to movies or try out restaurants or whatever. And the group would expand or contract depending on what else was going on or if someone thought that a friend would be a good addition to the group. After the first two dinners, the group sort of self-selected to a nice core group of friends. It was a great way to meet new people, and the food was always delicious.Back to top _ ThurgreedMarshall [Intentionally Omitted] Joined: 10 Mar 2003 Posts: 109 Location: New York fuckin' City Posted: Mon Mar 10, 2003 4:02 pm__ _Post subject: Re: dinner clubs (and dating services????) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Sparklehorse wrote: I find myself railing against the online dating scene so I'm looking for a more productive way to meet single people my age with similar interests and let the dating part take care of itself.

Guys shoes aren't that trendy. Gender adjusted, I'd say ferragamo is on the trendier side. Even though Ferragamo isn't as trendy as Bally or Prada, it had switched to more squarish toes to follow the trends (bruno magli did the same). Less trendy would be Santoni (or not Italian, but, Churches), which never really switched to squarish toes. Ferragamo's flashiness really shoes in the designs of its belt buckles though.

Nicole Kidman looked fabulous - the color was very nice. Diane Lane's dress looked better on TV, but you're right that it would have looked better on someone else. Grace's dress (what's her name?) was nothing special, but Halle's looked great. I saw her on TV and the color looked much more orange than coral. In fact - I noticed quite a few went for the orangey tones which is interesting since it is a pretty unpopular color. I think Julianne Moore's would have looked better with a tan - and as noted, out of bright sunlight. Rachel Griffiths dress was underwhelming in an 80's sort of way. Kristin Davis' dress was nice and although I liked the color of Megan Mulally's dress (and yes, she looks great) I didn't like the neckline very much. -T(I'm in sweats at the present, so really, who am I to judge?)LLBack to top _ Sidd_Finch Just Getting Started Joined: 06 Mar 2003 Posts: 14 Posted: Mon Mar 10, 2003 7:01 pm__ _Post subject: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Thongs.

The first album was as punk rock as anything from first-wave British punk (as were pre-album singles like 1977). London Calling is one of the few albums I'd put in my all time top 10 that's not by somebody called the Beatles, Stones, or Dylan. So Sandinista could have used some editing.

You got it. The Clash were a sanitized form of the Pistols who weren't even creative enough to write in metaphors. The Clash's "politics up your nose" approach ushered in an era of dumb songwriting exemplified by U2 and Rage. Where songs like "What's Going On" and "maters of War" spoke volumes in metaphor, the Clash had to bore you to tears with long-wonded speeches. Granted, none were as embarrssing as "Sunday Bloody Sunday" or any of Rage's "free Mumia" tirades. "London Calling" is no "Street Fighting Man". Also, the Clash lacked the balls of real punk (New wave was shit - Nobody should be lauded for spawning the musical abortion that was the 80s). The Pistols, the Ramones, Black Flag and the Minutemen and their ilk put out real scare the shit out of suburbia punk. Those bands never comprimised and their records are as foul in temperment today as they were 20 years ago. The Clash was punk for the radio - smarter, enlightened "thinking man's" rebellion. Gimme the real full frontal punch of the Pistols any day. They scared England, even if they were a joke, and they managed to somehow put out one of the best pieces of vinyl in the last century. The Clash was for American white kids who didn't even know what the hell they were singing about - the Pistols were the real voice. The Pistols never stood the test of time because they spent the wad on one record. Who could top a song like "Bodies" for political statement? The Clash wish they'd have had the Pistols' balls. London Calling will always be a poor excuse for Never Mind the Bollocks in much the same way that Sgt Peppers will never quite capture the studio genius of Pet Sounds. Sure, McCartney went on to much greater fame than Brian Wilson, but Wilson can always lay claim to the ultimate masterpiece of sound, and McCartney will be the first to admit it. If you asked Strummer, he may have been man enough to admit that the Clash were not the pinnacle of punk. He seemed like an honest fellow... Cash's "new" song, which is from hie fantastic ne record, is actuially an old Nine InCh Nails song.

Everyone worships the Sex Pistols because of the lives they led, but come on, not what I would call excellent music. Interesting as an anthropological statement I suppose, but entirely unlistenable more than once or twice. As for Sublime, they're an ok act, but aren't breaking any new ground.

Rhett Miller is incredibly charismatic. He often performs around LA and the female celebs are always front and center. I once saw him at Largo (said in best Nick Harcourt voice) with one of his many musical projects called something like "The Ranchero Bros." - more accoustic and country than his solo or 97s stuff. He's a stud. I had a hell of a time finding any websites that have images as their own html files to which I could link for Avatar purposes.

I'm thinking last minute shopping may be the only way to go. I recently had baby #2 (isn't this #2 for you too?), and I have to say, it took me FOREVER to get the weight (well, my baby is only 6 months old, so not exactly forever, but MUCH longer than with baby #1) to come off. So, as you can't predict your size, and past experience is not necessarily a guide, I'd say wait until much closer to the day of the function. If you're in NYC (which, somehow, I think you're not...), you can rent a formal dress and have several nice places to choose from. That's the way I'd go if I were "on the way back down" from pregnancy weight gain. Who wants to buy a lovely outfit that's only going to be too big once you get all your excess poundage off?

Yesterday I tried to post something about my trip to see American Idol live in North Hollywood) this weekend, but it didn't work out real well (the post and the trip both). So let me just say that Paula and Corey are both shorter than you think, even for entertainers. I think there's not much chance that Carmen will be voted out first because (a) she's cute and (b) she's going to do a country song and get a lot of votes from all the country fans. I think Julia Dimatto (sic) is the heavy favorite to get the boot. The only reason she's here is because of the sympathy vote from the way they edited the Glendale show, and that's got to have worn off by now (doesn't it?). I'd list my "most likely to get voted off" list as : 1. Julia 2. Ricky (The worst singer in the bunch, IMHO -- the fact that he got in and Chip didn't is very very wrong). 3. Charles 4. Carmen 5.

Anyway, we thought it was good at the time. Third, I hope Carmen goes. She is embarrasing. If she stays too long she'll be this year's Nikki.

I even waited to buy a nursing bra until about two weeks after, when I had a better idea of size (I was two sizes bigger, DD instead of C; during pregnancy I was about C and a half). As for weight, I think six weeks post you will have lost all directly baby-associated weight (mostly water), and you'll be left with whatever fat you gained, if any. I was lucky enough to lose fat during my pregnancy (you can do this if you start out with a lot of extra), then gained some while breastfeeding, so six weeks postpartum was my lowest point in the whole childbearing-nursing period. tmBack to top _ Pretty_Little_Flower I am simply a cog in the Lawtalk Machine Joined: 09 Mar 2003 Posts: 31 Posted: Tue Mar 11, 2003 5:00 pm__ _Post subject: Re: God fucking help us. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ThurgreedMarshall wrote: Pretty_Little_Flower wrote: The 80s are back, and it sucks.

Did I sum this up right? Peace between the parties, then! Once again (for the newbies like you), breast size is irrelevant. What is important is The Ratio. The Ratio = Breast size to waist size.

I saw this article today, cat goes psycho, traps owner in bathroom, and I was reminded of the psycho cat that tried to kill my real estate agent when I looked at my house for the second time. The listing material had warned about not petting the cat, and the first time we went through the house, the very pissed off cat was in a carrier, yelling and screaming about how he'd get us if he ever got free. Despite the profane threats to my person by one of the current occupants, I decided that I wanted to buy the house. After I put in the paperwork to bid on the house, my realtor and I went back to the house to look at a few details again with my dad, who'd never seen the property. The owners had little notice, and they forgot to put the cat up. As we were finishing our walk through of the house for the second time, the cat lept from under the bed in the guest room, and pounced on my real estate agent's ankles, biting and scratching and attacking. Another cat came running in, swooped upon the attack cat, and beat it off the agent. Fur flew. We beat a hasty retreat around the back through the kitchen, through the master bedroom, and to the bathroom keeping defender cat in between us and attack cat in order to find some soap and water and bandages to clean my real estate agent's wounds. Finally, my dad showed up, and he was wearing jeans, so we put him in front and he threw pieces of paper to distract the attack cat so we could get out of the house.

I had originally picked it up because the basic premise (model in car wreck, face gets altered) seemed similar to Chuck Palahnuik's "Invisible Monsters" and I wanted to see in what direction Egan would take it. I was prepared to scoff at Egan, but I thought it was a rather well done novel. "Prague" by Arthur Phillips is next on deck.Back to top _ Mister_Ruysbroeck Piss me off and your code is gone!

That, and I would probably forget my reaction by tomorrow anyway.) Julia: I didn't think she looked that great, and I failed to see any emotion in her performance. I also didn't think her singing was that good. I didn't get why the judges were so impressed. Vanessa: eh... never really liked her, don't care now. Carmen: Sucked. As expected. I would be surprised if anyone but her got voted out this round. Kim L.: Ok... I was surprised that her motown sound was so lacking.I also thought that the red wrap-around top with those long floaty pieces made her look *really* hippy (and I don't mean that in the PLF lithe spinning hippie chick way) Corey: Still Yuck. I don't get what anyone sees in him. Charles: I didn't care for the white hat. I also found his boppy and distrubing movement. He sounded ok though, I guess. Kimberly C.: She was ok. I don't think she has ever been as good as when she did "Superstition" Trenyce: This is the first time I was impressed with her. Still don't care for the clothes... for the smae reason I dodn't care for Julia's clothes. Mainly because they looked trashy. Reuben: Very good. But sometimes I think his facial expressions don't really fit with the song he's singing. Rickey: Seems like the nicest guy. Good voice, but a little too goofy to have a shot at winning. Josh: Still got that country sound. Thought Simon was right to tell him to lose a couple pounds... but I am still wondering why he's never mentioned it to Kim L. I am not wild about him, and don't want him to win, but he apparently has a decent fan base. And my personal fave: CLAY!!!!!!! (What?!?! No kissy-face or hearty emoticon?!?! If there were one I would insert it here. I feel lost. I prefer to express sentiment with stupid smilies than with words....) I was concernend as to how well he would sing motown and was quite pleasantly surprised. He really did a great job, but I think the hair has taken a step back. I *hate* Ryan Seacrest and the hair resemblance was truly disturbing. All in all most of the performances were ok. I was impressed that they did so well. If I had to sing that genre, I would have immeasurably sucked myself.Back to top _ kafka_esquire Moving On Up Joined: 11 Mar 2003 Posts: 25 Location: The Castle Posted: Tue Mar 11, 2003 10:39 pm__ _Post subject: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ LFM: "I just like using the word peeps" Speaking of which, when is Easter?

That said, evenodds, I think you're insane to think that Corey was one of the worst? For the first time, I could see him winning. I think he'll get to the top 5, certainly. Here's the str8 diary. 8:03: Oh my god, it's a 2-hour show? I think I need some carb-free beer. What do you mean there's no such thing? On the other hand, Seacrest just made a joke at his own expense (I'm blushing, but with all this tanning cream how can you tell). Now I've seen it all. 8:10: Kimberly Locke apparently spends her days helping baby kittens across the street. I have a feeling the other 11 do too . . . 8:12: She can really sing. Why isn't she? Stop twitching! B+ 8:14: I'm willing to bet Penske's salary that Lamont doesn't say one mean thing all night. 8:19: I wonder how much footage they had to shoot in order to capture Josh saying 3 grammatically correct sentences? He and his wife must take turns with the brain. 8:21: Eye candy, ear candy. JG still looks like the odds-on. 8:25: Push-ups? We have a winner!!! 8:27: Animal control? We have some roadkill. The address is Charles' upper lip. Thanks very much. Hey, Charles works for that retarded kid who used to do PSAs with Wayne Gretzky. 8:28: Charles looks like he'd rather be anywhere else. That's how I feel. Why Paula likes him, I have no idea. Anyone else noticce that all the judges look at the performer except Simon, who watches them on the TV monitor? Simon's my caucasian. 8:29: I just lost Penske's salary - Lamont said that Charles struggled through the song. Crap. Guess I'm gonna have to buy my house somewhere south of the 10 FWY. Oh well, I hear Ladera Heights is nice. 8:35: Who's worse: Hockey dads or stage moms? Poor Kimberly. "The years I gave up singing were the unhappiest years of my life. Honest mom. I'm doing it cause I love it! It has nothing to do with your unrealized dreams." 8:38: Moving to Branson sure paid off, cause this girl is a pro. Want to touch the midriff. 8:48: Ricky's sister: "Ricky's just a cool guy all around." Ricky's sister just wins the "I need to get out more" award. 8:56: Ryan Seacrest makes a Britney/Fred Durst joke that made no sense. 8:56: Julia DeMato should burn all childhood pictures of herself, and this show, and every copy made of this show whatever the medium. She is Connecticut trash. I think she used to hang out at Toad's on Saturday night. 8:59: There's a song by the Monks called "Nice legs, shame about her face." Now I know who they wrote that about. And I thinks she's wearing a spider web on her neck. The str8 cat just climbed up on my lap, so Ima stop typing for awhile. 9:07: Ok we're back. Here's hoping Jagermeister doesn't have a lot of carbs. Clay let the kids at the Y duct-tape him to the wall? I have a feeling that happened to him a bunch in junior high. He looks less gay on TV than he does in person, NTT . . . He also has an enormous head. What's the ideal head/body ratio? Whatever it is, Clay is tied with Renee Zellwegger for the all time lead. 9:17: Vanessa getting comments, and Simon has hit it dead on. She's got a great voice, and she's got zero chance to win this competition. Anyone else think that she might be a virgin? 9:22: Another dead relative. I hear (and)Violins. 9:25: Since when can Corey sing like this? Calling the bookie now . . . All these fuckers can sing; the real disparity is in performance ability. Kim C. and Corey have it. Charles and Julia don't. This might be Clay's downfall too. If he'd get a nose job, he'd really have a chance. 9:35: Please let Carmen be one of those lapsed mormons. They're the funnest. Want to touch the midriff. You can't hurry love, Carmen, but you can hurry over to sit on my jammy. But I wonder, if they just wanted eye candy, why didn't they take the girl from OC? 9:41: So remind me, which Pointer Sister is Trynycye? I think she's the one in yellow. I'm obsessed with her arms. Bring her out! 9:44: Must watch the arms in slo-mo. Don't know whether to be attracted or afraid. 9:48: At some point, Ruben's going to wear a classy suit, and it's going to be GAME ON. 9:53: Ruben delivers the line of the night about the little bitty chairs. RUBEN RUBEN RUBEN!!! After all that's been said and done (there's just a part of me that can't let go), it says here that Charles Grigsby goes home first tomorrow. Others who shouldn't sleep real well tonight are Julia and Kimberly Locke. Josh and Ruben are still my final 2, with Corey and Kimberly Caldwell coming on strong. str8.Back to top _ coup_d'skek My rank is higher than your rank.

She definitely has a career doing that. Please let her go. Now, I like tha Ruben. He has a Shaq meets Rerun from Whats Happenin thing going on. I fear that he will be dead by forty if he doesnt slim down (like the linebackers from "Real Sports"). Fat is not cute, cuddly and huggable, it is just dangerous. And I hope he doesnt win based in part on that bc it wont encourage him to lose the weight (hello Chris Farley). But I love him and Trenyce (who could use a last name) the best.Back to top _ Alex_de_Large Hi Droogie Joined: 10 Mar 2003 Posts: 70 Location: A cold, dank, dirty, scary place.

I loved it, but I would never recommend it to someone who is even mildly depressed because it's the most depressing thing I've ever read. His book "She's Come Undone" is also amazing, but similary dreary. I've been reading a lot of Kathy Reichs' novels lately and I like her so much better than Patricia Cornwell, I've decided. ok, on to AI. I still LOVE Clay. I don't care if he's gay and belongs on Broadway, I can't stop smiling when he's performing, and he's the only performer I can say that about. I'd duct tape him to my bedroom wall any day. I was shocked at how much Kim L. sucked. I guess "Over the Rainbow" really is the only song she can see. I guess if I practiced the same song for 12 years I could use that one song to get on AI too. She deserves to be eliminated based solely on that performance, but she won't be. I'm not on the Corey love train, but he didn't suck. Charles is kind of endearing -- I can understand why a lot of teenage girls and grandmothers might vote for him. Julia sucks and I'd be ok with her leaving tonight. Carmen also sucked, and Simon was so full of shit when he said that performance justified his choice. I don't like Kim C. but the girl can perform and is Barbie-pretty. I thought Vanessa was great, actually (but remember I'm tone deaf) and I seriously doubt she's a virgin. If anyone's a virgin on that show it's the Mormon girl.

Kivilev's team doctor, who treated the 29-year-old rider at the scene of Tuesday's crash, was among those calling for the wearing of helmets to become law - as it currently is in Belgium. The death of Kivilev means that the peloton will, following a moment of silence at the start of the third stage, not engage in any real racing as a mark of respect for the soft-spoken Kazakh, whose talent shone through when he came fourth in the 2001 Tour de France. http://www.velonews.com/news/fea/3584.0.htmlBack to top _ pursejunkie What's in a rank?

God, that's horrible. I've always thought helmets should be mandatory in professional cycling. It's crazy not to require them in a sport where speeds reach 55+ mph on the descents. Racers in all other sports wear them (e.g., downhill skiing), so why not in cycling? Fashion, that's why. It's considered uncool.

This board has historically been a pop cultural catchall board, which sometimes includes books, TV, movies, fashion, technology, sports, pets, kids, workplace frustrations, sex, recreation, cooking, travel etc. While certainly there have been other fora that have been more appropriate for discussion about some of these things, I can't remember any subject being kicked out of the fashion board in the past, even if there was another board that was more appropriate for the discussion.

This board is the junkfood and booze of the Lawtalking diet. Politics is like the nicotine of the lawtalkers.

The essentials- firm talk and other related matters. Really, it is what we need to get by, what we all have in common and what we ulitmately live on . It just isnt always that tasty or delicious. Of course, this might mean that the FB book club bleongs elsewhere bc there may be some intellect in reading some of the things disucssed (not Wally Lamb btw- I read that book about the fattie and thought it was pure hooey).

Has anyone noticed the amazing frequency of this comment being made since we've moved? My new best friend is always right! The point of seperate forums, my dear Mango, is that people who ONLY want to discuss sports go the the sports board. But here, in the Land of Fashion, we like to discuss EVERYTHING (except politics, December RotAF's lover, and LadyVal's boyfriend's big toe.....well OK, politics). We're multicultural here. I for one love to read the sports, books, and TV threads here. I wouldn't go to the sports Board, or to a TV board, because I only care as much as is required here (which is generally very little). There's no rule about membership being limited (although membership does have its privileges) so don't go getting all snarky here. It's just that folks here resent intruders who try to change the way it's been done. Fuck, that's why we have this new fucking board (which is TITS by the way).

While there's no evidence these inamorati learned any lasting lesson from Pooh, the kids must have had a hell of a time cleaning up all the ch'i that runs out of two severed jugulars.Back to top _ Oliver_Wendell_Ramone I am simply a cog in the Lawtalk Machine Joined: 10 Mar 2003 Posts: 23 Posted: Wed Mar 12, 2003 2:19 pm__ _Post subject: Re: Misunderstanding ------------------------------------------------------------------------ paigowprincess wrote: It the topic lacks any intellectual or redeeming flavor, it belongs here.

I think that the host site is preventing you from using the image on another (i.e. this) site. The compression is working on the banner ad that the host site sends, not on the picture. If you right click on the picture, you can save it to your hard drive, then you can upload it to a hosting site (don't use yahoo or any of the geocities sites, because they'll cause similar problems), and you'll be able to keep the photo as is. Alternatively, you may want to look around the net a little and see if you can find the same photo on another site, and just use that link instead.

Right? Ha. Kimberly Locke: this type of song just did not suit her voice. Having all the songs by the same guy disadvantaged some singers, and Kim L. was one of them. She did look about 100 times better than previous performances--her hair wasn't pulled back so tight it made her forehead skin shiny, and her outfit displayed her assets (hello, I had no idea they were so HUGE) instead of just showing off her back fat and her dimply ass. I hope she sticks around for a couple more rounds, because I do think she has a good voice, and she is comfortable on stage. Josh Gracin: Not good. He made Motown sound country. Yeah, pushups, whatever, you still have a spare tire and your face looks a little like the missing link. Charles Grigsby: Waste of time. Unsuccessfully tried to cover his extreme nervousness with incessant bopping up and down. Held notes were mostly on pitch but all the others weren't. Dances like a white nerd. Kimberly Caldwell: Ah, Branson. That explains everything. The song type suited her voice, and she's definitely comfortable on stage (thank you, Branson), but what was up with the Stefani-wannabe outfit? Yikes. Rickey Smith: Can't believe they didn't have the mike on for his first line. This was a good song for him--the old Motown style gave him a more strict structure and he didn't get lost in the flourishes (like he did in his nervous semifinal performance). Loved his trousers, and he just plain old has a beautiful voice. Julia DeMato: Even bigger waste of time than Charles. Someone save me! She seems to have gotten her strange upper lip from her mother. And the two tape snippets of her performing the national anthem set new worldwide performance lows. Scary pink (!!!) ankle booties. Did the pencil-necked geek dance--step, touch, step, touch, off the beat. Added nothing to her song. Overall, yikes! Clay Aiken: Bet he was a great camp counselor. Very comfortable on stage, projects good energy, and it was a good song for him. Needs to keep his eyes open more. "Motown the Musical"? Yeah, but there are good singers on Bway. Vanessa Olivarez: Sounded okay. She's looked better. Lots of personality--she'd make a great host for some show on TLC. Corey Clark: Dumber than spit. Did he get the braids to look less like Justin Guarini or as a tribute to eliminated Chip? Sounded like Smokey Robinson whining. Seemed pretty relaxed on stage, but I suspect it's because he's too stupid to know better. Carmen Rasmusen: Did not like the red clamdiggers, though the hair, red lipstick, black top and necklace were winners. Sounded better and looked more relaxed than in her wild card performance (must be getting easier), but ultimately still just a high schooler. Trenyce: Did not like the hat. Did you see during her video clip, they showed a newspaper article about her, and her real name was briefly visible? I think it was something like Lashundra Robbins. She seemed a little pitchy on the repeated "cryin'," but I think it was artistic interpretation so she gets a little leeway here. She should ditch the all-black outfits (that red flower she had in her hair during the wildcard was great), but she's one of the best performers of the bunch. Ruben Studdard: Daaaaaaamnnnnn. He really is all that. Gives me chills every time I hear him. The only one of the bunch whose album I would actually purchase. Poor Josh to end up singing the same song as the superstar. The video clips were really revealing, especially those that showed them singing. Charles, Julia and Corey stunk, and Rickey and Ruben were still amazing.

Then I twist it as if I were making a french twist. Then I clip it with a clip so that the ends of my hair are sticking straight up. Then I take the parts that are sticking straight up and push them under the clip. I leave some of the strands out of the clip to give a wispy look. This makes a very soft looking bun/twist without looking dorky (at least I think I don't look like a dork and guys seem to dig me when I wear my hair like that). I also pull out a few strands on both sides to frame my face. Using this technique, the clip is entirely hidden, although, I would still choose a color to match your hair. I am fully prepared to be mocked for this, but I have used the hairdini and was able to make some cute up do's with it.Back to top _ EvenOdds Guest Posted: Wed Mar 12, 2003 3:19 pm__ _Post subject: Re: Booyakah! ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ThurgreedMarshall wrote: Has anyone been watching Da Ali G show on HBO?

But a customs spokesman said there was "no indication" of illegal activity and that it was not a criminal investigation. The actor's car was stopped for a routine check on the Swiss-German border as he entered Germany in November. The documents were photocopied but not seized and he was allowed to continue his journey without formal questioning.

NOEL GALLAGHER has criticised anti-war protests, branding them a "bloody waste of time." Although he admits that he disagrees with the war, he thinks that the UK's Labour government is tied to the US and so protests are pointless. In an interview with the Berlin newspaper, Der Tagesspiegel, Gallagher said, "Whenever there is a conservative, bible waving half-wit ruling in the White House – whether it's Bush, his father or Reagan – there is war." He added, "Protests are a bloody waste of time, the war will go ahead anyway." Gallagher is currently touring Germany with Oasis, and expressed his sympathy for Tony Blair, saying, "Whoever is the British Prime Minister is tied to America. It's been that way since the Second World War, and even Tony Blair can't change that. "Politics is like football for me. Labour is my team and even if you don't like a striker you don't give up supporting the whole team… Labour is the lesser of two evils. What else should we have? Anarchy? Someone has to be responsible." He then went on to criticise the British nation, saying, "We are a nation of moaning sissies, regardless of who governs. The British get on my nerves. They moan about the weather, about the French, about the Germans. They moan about cricket, football – they should just keep their mouths shut." Gallagher also added that if he ever wrote an autobiography, it would be called > 'Kettle, Cigarettes, Guitar, Television' as he claims he doesn't need anything else in order to live – no drugs, no women and no band. http://www.nme.com/news/104450.htm _________________ AdL "No time for the old in-out, love, I've just come to read the meter."Back to top _ str8_outa_covina I Sure Do Post A Lot Joined: 10 Mar 2003 Posts: 36 Posted: Wed Mar 12, 2003 5:25 pm__ _Post subject: My $8B worth (on a variety of topics) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ AI: Does anybody else think that the AI judges (esp. Simon) are worried about a Jim-style backlash, and have tempered their comments accordingly? What I mean is that the consensus three worst contestants last night, Julia, Carmen and Charles, all received nice comments from the judges. Simon was a little tougher on those who were better singers. I think this is deliberate; he wants the worst singers/performers out, and he knows that his honest comments might prevent that from happening. Maybe I'm crazy, but that's how I read it. Survivor: I can't wait to see someone start feeding Christy some misinformation about what other people are saying. If Will from BB2 was there, he'd do it in a second. So would Richard Hatch. C'mon people - she's deaf. Take advantage of it. I also think that anyone serious about winning this game would have to take other people aside and say, "you know, if any of us are in the final 2 up against a deaf girl, we've got no shot. Let's get rid of her now." NBA/NHL: I always forget -- do either of these leagues re-seed for every round of the playoffs? Is re-seeding a good idea? I love that the NCAA Hoops tournament does not re-seed; it makes Cinderella teams possible. But I guess there's less of a need for that in the pros where the talent level is a lot closer and there can't really be Cinderellas in the same way. s to the rizzo, 8 to the izzayBack to top _ EvenOdds Guest Posted: Wed Mar 12, 2003 5:26 pm__ _Post subject: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Okay, this is strange.

Nevertheless, I'll try to type slowly so that you can keep up. str(bring on Piston Hurricane)8 Str8, you couldn't be more off base. Mango's postings scream "Lady Val" about as loudly as Thurgreed's posts scream "Penske." Lady Val, whether real or sock puppet, was a simpering, sycophantic tw*t (choose your vowel) whose vocabulary and writing style suggested that "Are You There God, It's Me Margaret?" was sitting unfinished on her nightstand, beside the bubble yum wrappers and condoms pilfered from her brother's bureau. Her attempts to communicate with the FB denizens were pathetically adolescent in a junior high school cafeteria kind of way, in that she attempted to win over the people that she thought were part of the "cool" crowd by telling "wild" stories of toe debauchery and seeking their sage advice about her profound ethical quandary. And the finest riposte she could muster when rightfully and righteously flamed was some version of "Oh yeah, at least I have a boyfriend, beeyotch." And I write all this firmly believing that Lady Val was a sock. A brilliant sock. Nothing about Mango's posts suggests that she was Lady Val. Her posts are declarative, confident, and slightly snarky. She has opinions of her own, and she knows a little somethin' somethin' about fashion. Plus, would PLF crave Lady Val? But this brings me to an interesting thought. The hallmark of Lady Val was that she had no sense of irony. PLF loves irony. Was PLF Lady Val? Is he also Mango? If so, that would be brilliant.

You’d find a way. Quote: "Very memorable" sounds stupid. Do you read the posts aloud to yourself? Quote: Do you remember it? Yes. I remember it a lot. A more apt translation would be "I remember it well." Quote: Can something have a bigger impact on your memory than other things? Yez. You contradict yourself, grasshopper. In your earlier post, you compared (inaptly) memorable to unique and perfect, saying that like the latter two words, it ought not be modified. But here you admit that there is a continuum (dare I say a spectrum?) of memorableness. That is why “more” is an acceptable modifier. “Very” is equally acceptable. Like more, it indicates a greater degree. Dtb did not say “more memorable” because she was not comparing that book to another memorable book. By writing “very memorable,” she effectively conveyed that the book had a bigger impact on her memory than other non-memorable and merely memorable books. Compare: Slave has a very purple sweater. Slave’s sweater is more purple than his chest. (It made more sense when I used “fuzzy” instead of “purple,” but one doesn’t say more fuzzy, one says fuzzier, so I changed it.) Quote: Now, to move on to the bigger issue here. You are pointing out my inconsistencies. I have rules and try to impose them on others but am myself, deeply flawed. There’s a bigger issue here? I was just playing usage queen to your diction jester. I wasn’t delving into your psyche, Mr. It’s All About Me. Did your therapist cut your session off early this week? But while we’re on the topic, I will note that you've got yourself a convenient little set up with that “I fully admit to being flawed" shtick. You can just trot it out whenever anybody turns your criticism around on you, and spare yourself the trouble of worrying about any inconsistencies worth addressing (not all of them are, of course). Oh, and the ego. You're not just flawed. You're deeply flawed. Now I'm just being snarky. I’ll admit I work that shtick myself. Deeply flawed looks good on me, and my habit of readily admitting to my own full spectrum of flaws is so charming it could break your heart. So when I'm critical, people understand. Especially the jokers on the train who think that it's OK to stand in front of the doors as long as they suck their guts in when people try to board or disembark, or the idiots who stand on the left of the escalator. When I give them a dirty look, or bark "please move to the right" they don't think I'm a bitch, because they know that I'm much harder on myself than I am on them. And the gut sucking guys in the doorways? They're thinking that I have a nice rack and a perfect waist/hip ratio. Quote: I do not bitch and moan about every single grammatical error. Well, there are only so many hours in the day, and you've got so much bitching and moaning to do about other things.

It's got a lot of clips of Cash from back in the day, and to see them intercut with (a) a lot of Christ imagery and (b) footage of a feeble Cash really works. Warren Zevon is dying of inoperable lung cancer. It's a shame. He did a great set on Letterman late lasy year. Zevon has a good attitude about his mortality, which is all you can hope for, I suppose. In a related story, George Miller, the comic and Letterman fixture, died recently at 61 after a battle with leukemia. paigow_princess wrote: Morrissey sucks. Elvis Costello sucks.

In fact, until reading your post, I had forgotten how much I hate that Every Day I Write the Book song. But, hey, I have listened to a lot of crap in my day. I cringe when going through my CD collection, and I purchased a hell of a lot of terrible music before I ever started listening to CDs. As to what I was listening to in 1983, I seem to recall that I had pretty much tuned out of contemporary music. At the time, I had a continuing obsession with the Rolling Stones, so they were in heavy rotation. In addition, I was becoming increasingly fanatical about jazz. I think around that time period I was in a particularly pretentious phase of my jazz appreciation when I decided that real jazz fans were listening to free jazz, the more alienating the better. So, I was listening to obscure Ornette Coleman, Eric Dolphy, etc. Check out an Ornette Coleman album called The Empty Foxhole sometime. If you think his saxophone work is out there, that's because you have not heard him on violin. I also began getting into some two tone ska, like the Beat, the Specials, etc., although this may have been more around 1984 or 85. It was not until later in the 80s that I began to discover all the great early hip hop and hardcore that existed in the early 80s. Are you sorry you asked? Back to top pursejunkie What's in a rank?

OK. I admit it. I was in a sorority. But I need to clarify that I was in a sorority in the mid-1980's which I believe was an entirely different experience than the sorority experience of today. My best memories of life in the sorority house include getting so fucked up on mushrooms that I made another sister remove the big coke mirror from the room because I couldn't be sure it was my reflection and not my evil twin's reflection I was seeing, losing my underwear in the FIJI house, dancing naked on the front porch not once but twice the weekend that I graduated, having sex in the first floor telephone booth because my roommate had done the same thing the week before, puking off the roof onto the house mother's car, and other sundry events invloving either booze, drugs, or casual sex. Nowadays it seems, drugs and alcohol are discouraged by sororities and casual sex doesn't seem to exist on colleg campuses. Why anyone would want to go to college, let alone join a greek letter organization, in today's day and age is a complete mystery to me. (Except for that shit about an education and blah blah blah). That said, being in a sorority did involved some contruction paper signage on my door for rush, etc. and did involve, from time to time, the blowing up of helium balloons. I did (and ocaisioanlly still do) wear my letters, I can still sing the greek alphabet and several sorority songs at differing levels of "dirtiness". I believe I own a stuffed version of my sorority's mascot and have a sorority sister who still sends me bouquets of our sorority flower for every life event. I can still say my sorority prayer, and when I attend an initiation (which happened quite a lot for a while as I was serving as a grown-up advisor to a local chapter) I still get teary eyed. But these girls on MTV? First of all, they are skanks. Second of all, no pledges live in a house IRL. Third of all, DZO isn't even a national sorority. Fourth of all, this show exists just so that people who didn't join sororities can feel smug about their choice.

Did they announce things kind of in the order of the votes? Lke Ruben came in first and was called first? and that carmen came in fourth to last? I am assuming yes. I think Ruben's win is a foregone conclusion. How come black people are such better singers thatn white people? I dont mean this in a Randy and Mortay "They are very musical people" kind of way, but its just that the black contestants blow everyone else off the map. not even close. They did not announce the order of the votes. With the way they place the kids on the seats, it becomes obvious who the last four will be. I am not convinced Ruben will win it all. We have 9 weeks or so for the big Ruben backlash to begin and for someone else to come on strong. That said, he can have a career and make some good money in hip-hop singing hooks if this AI thing doesn't work out for him. As for why it appears on the show that black people are better singers, though I am not sure I agree, the black singers I have encountered began singing in church at a high level when they were very, very young, so perhaps they have more practice.

Production on season five, scheduled to get under way March 24, remained in peril Wednesday, as HBO executives said negotiations with the series star, James Gandolfini (news), are dead. The last offer from HBO to Gandolfini on the table for the 13-episode fifth season was for $11 million, part of which was to be paid in profit participation. But HBO insiders insist Gandolfini's camp was asking for much more than had been reported: $27 million for season five, and $16.7 million for a sixth season should that get ordered, for an average of $21 million per season for a fifth and sixth batch. http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmp...on_sopranos_dc Back to top paigowprincess Beyond Category Joined: 10 Mar 2003 Posts: 116 Posted: Thu Mar 13, 2003 3:48 pm Post subject: Re: Trading Places ThurgreedMarshall wrote: paigowprincess wrote: Ahnd you smell.

After "Seether" broke, everyone was calling them sellouts and Breeders wannabees (not that The Breeders did a whole lot after Last Splash). Some even thought they picked an indie label just so they could tread on its credibility. 2. The Lovin' Spoonful. Two of their members get busted for pot in San Francisco. One of them is Canadian, and the Feds threaten to deport him unless he names names. Afterwards, the hippies shun them. 3. Van Halen. Two words: Sammy Hagar. 4. Creed. They'd be number one on the list, except they suck so much, it's unfair to give them first place in anything. 5. Urge Overkill. An entire city shuns them after they leave Touch & Go. Producer Steve Albini publicly attacks them any chance he gets. Their nickname for Chicago catches on...and Liz Phair cribs it for Exile in Guyville. Any other takers?

There's a hole in my musical talent that cannot possibly be filled by anyone . . . never has a backlash been so deserved. 2. Courtney Love. Very cool for a few months. Then . . . 3. Def Leppard. When they switched from their Pyromania phase to their "Pour some sugar on me" bit, the backlash began, and deservedly so. and DL's brother-in-Lange 4. Bryan Adams. 5. Well this might seem weird, but how about Prince? Remember when "Purple Rain" came out? At least in my corner of the motherland, he was totally popular, but then if you liked Prince you were a total fag (fag having nothing to do with homosexuality, at that time and place). Then at some point when I get to college, Prince is very cool again. ewww Crispin Glover is on. He's freaky. I gotta go now. str8 outa Main Line (this weekend anyway) Back to top |

Guest Posted: Fri Mar 14, 2003 9:43 am Post subject: Backlash The all-time worst musical backlash (deserved or undeserved) has to be Billy Squier. You used to hear his rock album all the time and then he came out with that one video where he pranced around a bedroom stage and tore off his pink shirt. NTTAWWT I have never seen disavowal of ownership so fast. I also offer these for your consideration: 1. Vanilla Ice 2. Hammer -- 2 legit to uh yeah. 3. Puffy -- though no one ever actually liked him other than as a producer for Biggie (who I am not crazy about) and Mary J. (who I adore). Recent information is he is becoming hip. (Not sure I believe the audience will follow, though his rapping on I Need a Girl #2 was (gulp) passable, if not good.) My picks for next to crash: Ja Rule -- press reporting that he is getting booed in Australia for not shoing up with Ashanti and he certainly has no credibility as a rapper since the whole Ashanti/let's sing everything album. Plus the negative press about his label will start to affect the commercial audience. Nelly -- The St. Lunatics are doing him no favors. Neither is "Give me two Pahr, I need two Pahr."

Did you ever yell at your pledges for disrespecting you because they put post it notes with riddles all over the house? And about the Girls Gone Wild stuff -- those girls don't have to sign releases, do they? I mean, since they are doing it in public, then if it gets filmed they are screwed, right? Correct me if I'm wrong, because if I can go around flashing my tits with no possibility of film of it ending up in the public domain without my signing a release, then this weekend might be more fun than I had been planning.

She thought it was funny to steal my teddy bear and left a note that she had done so. I called her, told her that I was going to leave the house for 2 hours, and that when I returned my bear had better be where he belonged. I was perfectly calm. I think I scared the shit out of her. When I returned, there was good old Bo Bear, and a lovely bouquet of sorority flowers. barely_legal wrote: And about the Girls Gone Wild stuff -- those girls don't have to sign releases, do they?

One nose job too many, and it didn't matter what the hell he was singing. 2. Britney. She swears once in South America, and the pop tart is fair game. 3. U2. Until they hit "elder statesman" status in the last year or so, the critics were lambasting anyone who wasn't cool enough to have stopped listening to them after "War." 3. Any band, like Duran Duran, that teen girls liked in the 80s. Wasn't until last couple of years that Rolling Stone's testosterone-crazed critics admitted that in terms of musical ability and lyrics they were actually better than crappy hair bands like Poison and Ratt. 4. Guns 'n' Roses. Axl turns into a freakin' weirdo recluse, and after that he could write the Messiah and still get abused. BTW, did anyone else see Slash on Trading Spaces?

But please, just bc you were a loser in high school and had to get half your head shaevd and had to shop at Flip to be different, does not make the Smiths a decent band. I never went to Yale, had an assymetrical haircut, or sighed longingly at the thin, athletic, cross-country runners at my high school. I never even got into The Smiths until college. I grew up in the SF Bay Area, and "How Soon Is Now?" was played consistently for a good seven years on Live 105 (the local radio station). I maintain that The Smiths were a great band, and that Johnny Marr was a great guitarist. I really like The Smiths musically. Maybe my relationship with bands is different than most. I wasn't going to become a vegan or change my sexual orientation because of some singer. paigowprincess wrote: Elvis Costello? He speaks for himself. Alilllllllllllllllllllllllllllllissssssssssssssssssooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooon. God. He sucks. Remember that horrid episdoe of Melrose Place with that song? Actually, I do remember that Melrose Place episode...and I still cringe when I hear "Allisom" because the memory of Andrew Shue singing that damn song is burrowed into my head.... but let's face it, whatever song that soccer player-with-an-agent sang was going to be ruined. It's hardly Elvis' fault. Besides, all episodes of Melrose Place were awful. I watched them regularly, for a time, but that show was one of the worst shows of the 90's. To move this thread along, I'll start a related topic. What bands have suffered the greatest backlash from fans or critics? I'll offer my top 5: 1. Veruca Salt. After "Seether" broke, everyone was calling them sellouts and Breeders wannabees (not that The Breeders did a whole lot after Last Splash). Some even thought they picked an indie label just so they could tread on its credibility. 2. The Lovin' Spoonful. Two of their members get busted for pot in San Francisco. One of them is Canadian, and the Feds threaten to deport him unless he names names. Afterwards, the hippies shun them. 3. Van Halen. Two words: Sammy Hagar. 4. Creed. They'd be number one on the list, except they suck so much, it's unfair to give them first place in anything. 5. Urge Overkill. An entire city shuns them after they leave Touch & Go. Producer Steve Albini publicly attacks them any chance he gets. Their nickname for Chicago catches on...and Liz Phair cribs it for Exile in Guyville. Any other takers? Jack Manfred Well, Jack, I am not sure my answers to your poll are exactly what you were looking for with the question. But I will say that Hole sticks in my mind as the band who went from putting out a uber brilliant album (live thourgh this) and folllowed it up with a total worthless POS followup(celebrity skin). OF coruse, the reason for this is that Cobain wrote Live Thougth This and Billy Corgan wrote chunks of celebrity skin along with the world's biggest sellout herself, Courtney Love. Lenny Kravitz comes to mind for this poll but I think the critics always hated him for his "derivative" style. But I thought his music got pretty bad after Are you gonna go my way and that he totally sold out with Fly Away and its being on every other commercial. Other recent disappointments for me personally come from my some of my alltime favorite acts. Sheryl Crow's last album was pretty weak but not dreadful. The Chili Peppers last effort was only listened to a handful of times and is now collecting dust. Chris Cornell's effort with I thinkt he rage against the machine(?) may not have been great but I think I only heard one song (what is the name of that song again). I loved soundgarden so much that anything that isnt ncredible is a disappointment. Of course, if I heard the whole album maybe I woiuldnt be disappointed but I havent heard it was great. and the fallout of the greatest band of the nineties, the Black Crowes, was a disappointment unparalleled for me. The last album was ok (better than three snakes and a charm but not up to shake your money maker, southnern harmony and amorica). and is chris robinson doing a solo album? has it already happened/ How long is this marriage to Kate Hudson gonna last anyway? I want my crowes back. Back to top paigowprincess Beyond Category Joined: 10 Mar 2003 Posts: 116 Posted: Fri Mar 14, 2003 11:36 am Post subject: Yes I am Are you Hot? (can we get that cool spoiler space thingie from bbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbboy?) I love this show. I found myself trying to figure out how old Lorenzo Lamas, International Hearthrob (and I think that is the wrong throbbing organ for hnis title) must be. He was in Grease which could not have come out later than 1980 (i think it was more like '7 and he could not have been younger than 18 (though I think hewas more like 24). With these figures in mind, he woudl be 41. Youngest. This guy is a walking botox, tanning machine., blond frost hair anti aging machine. And did anyone catch his outfit? Denim jacket, no shirt and a red bandanna around his neck. Who is he fooling? Now, how about that guy who was a bartender I think from San Diego? Did anyone notice that his man boobs were twitching? I thnk Randolph Duke (the one not from Trading Places) said it best that people were gonna be automatically jealous of him. No reason to act cocky. Just roll with it. I live by this motto and I can tell you that those who used to hate me bc I am beautiful now find me totally lovable. But back to that twitching manboob thing. What was that schtick on SNL with the flexed manboobs being done to the tune of Dueling Banjos? This guy was such an unbelievable piece of egocentric mancake that it was REdiculous. Way too many muscles and no body hair. Not a good look to impress straight women.

Nothing wrong with Warren Zevon (well, other than inoperable lung cancer). In fact, a whole bunch right about him (though he was kind of a pussy in his newly dry days when he would change "pina colada" to perrier in Warewolves of London). Linda Ronstadt has a good voice, and she was kinda hot back in the day. Plus, she gets derivative cool points for hanging with Emmylou (sp?), who in turn hung with Gram Parsons. Jackson Brown? No real opinion. I generally want to strangle James Taylor, but that's primarily a matter of personal taste. I see nothing redeeming, however, in the Eagles. Except that it's better than the solo crap put out by its various members (w/ the possible exception of Joe Walsh, whose music is good for a laugh in a drunken frat boy sort of way). I reluctently give Henley some credit for having a sense of humor about "Don Henley Must Die."Back to top _ pursejunkie What's in a rank?

At a hearing of the House Government Reform Committee, parents were put on notice that they've got to do more than put porn blocking programs on their computers to keep x-rated images away from their children. "Now parents may think that they are doing something about this problem," said Rep. Henry Waxman, D-Calif. "When they put in these parental control software programs like Net Nanny or Cyber Patrol, they think they can protect their children from this pornography. But our investigation also found that while these programs might work to keep kids from pornography on the World Wide Web, they do not work in the same way for file sharing programs." Many porn filters block Web pages from a user's computer by weeding out sites that contain words such as "sex" and "XXX." But file sharing sites, such as Kazaa, allow direct exchanges between one computer user and another. This peer-to-peer trading cannot be intercepted by porn filters. "That's what makes it hard to police," said Randy Saaf, who operates MediaDefender.com. During the hearing, a committee staffer showed how easy it is to access pornographic images. The staffer performed a Google search to reach Kazaa, then once on Kazaa searched for Britney Spears. Hundreds of downloadable files then appeared on the screen. Committee Chairman Tom Davis, R-Va., was surprised. "This is really very alarming to me as a parent who thought he was tech savvy on this kind of thing to see how far this has gone," he said. That children might download porn isn't the only reason for concern, Saaf said. He said his work has shown that at federal government agencies there are people who spend time at work downloading pornBack to top _ robustpuppy My rank is higher than your rank.

I saw on one of the thousands of news magazine type shows that the company produces those things lost a suit to some girl whose breasts were shown without her permission. I think if you film someone who is not in the public eye, you cannot use their likeness to profit without their permission. Showing your breasts in public would catch my eye, but I think the standard is higher than that. Thurgreed(contemplating a FB Gone Wild II Day)Marshall You're right - the suit had to do that with the fact that she was too drunk to consent to appearing - I didn't hear about the release specifically, but if she was drunk, any release she signed would have been void or at least voidable.

Maybe this was the first one who thought of it and they've silently settled with the rest. And I don't know if she actually won (other than what TM says) only that the suit was filed. But yes, if she signed an agreement without capacity to sign, then I would think she had a decent case to avoid the agreement. I do know that if you flash people at Mardi Gras there are tons of guys with cameras and videorecorders, so I'm not sure what the "expectation of privacy" is there when it is clear you are being recorded, but the fact that your image is being used for commercial purposes probably changes things. -TL Back to top _ pursejunkie What's in a rank?

Fri Mar 14,10:51 AM ET LOS ANGELES - Shock jock Howard Stern sued ABC and the producers of the reality series "Are You Hot?" claiming the show is based on his ideas that aired on his radio program and it ruined his chances for his own TV deal. The lawsuit, filed Thursday in Superior Court, accuses the network of copying the "unique aspects" of a Stern radio segment in which members of his crew and guests evaluate the bodies of in-studio contestants. Stern claims that some of the tactics used on his show were duplicated by ABC's version. Some of the alleged similarities include blunt criticism of contestants and the use of a laser pointer to highlight areas of the contestant's body. "Are You Hot?" features contestants in various stages of dress posing in front of a three-judge panel who rate them solely on looks. The show is produced by Scott Einziger, a former executive producer of Stern's E! cable show. Former Stern sidekick Jackie Martling is listed as a consultant for the show. Before the ABC show debuted, Stern was in talks to develop a TV series based on his radio segment, according to the suit. He planned to broadcast the show possibly on a pay-cable channel that wouldn't be subject to censorship. But when ABC aired "Are You Hot?" talks for a Stern TV show collapsed, the lawsuit said. The lawsuit said Stern warned the network that the series would be a "misappropriation," but that ABC disregarded him. Stern is seeking $100 million in damages.Back to top _ c2ed I am simply a cog in the Lawtalk Machine Joined: 09 Mar 2003 Posts: 43 Location: In a fog Posted: Fri Mar 14, 2003 8:19 pm__ _Post subject: Re: Exciting new lawsuit ------------------------------------------------------------------------ catrin_darcy wrote: Stern claims that some of the tactics used on his show were duplicated by ABC's version.

Because the whole concept of judging another person's hotness is Stern's realm alone. And no one ever bluntly criticizes anyone nor highlights the contestant's body (hello, sorority hazing?).

Christiane Kittel, now 24, was left in a vegetative state after her collapse on 12 June 1997.

I liked the fight choreography because the hand to hand combat wasn't so close up or distorted that you couldn't actually see the action. I felt that way watching Gladiator and other things. I think that sucks. Jones is getting old for hand to hand combat roles. He'd get his head handed to him if he tried knife fighting with some 20-something gangbanger or the military equivalent. The acting is ok, but not great. Neither Jones nor toro were totally compelling; they were just going through the motions. Neither's work could touch Colin Farrell's in Daredevil. He was just awesome in that. Always something going on that you wanted to see. And nyah, nyah, nyah Thurgreed. Omar Epps IS gonna be in a big movie that white people want to see. The trailer for "Against the Ropes" with Meg Ryan looks good. He looked good too.

Your post was a bit wordy, but as you can see above, I got the gist. On a related note, I went to see a band last night. A transsexual, leather-oriented glam rock band. Well to be fair, only two of the three musicians are transsexuals. But when the lead singer towers over the stage with [his] bare, amply breast-implanted chest painted blue, horrible looking scars where [his] nipples should be, and his hair flowing about as he howls his glam metal anthems, it seems like the whole band is transsexual, and you tend not to focus on the waifish girl in the flowing faux-fur shawl on bass. It is less easy to not notice the mohawked dancer to the right, because her heavily-tattooed body is clad only in a bikini, combat boots, and face paint. She and her fetishwear dancer friend on the left side of the stage writhe and yell and coo and tend to catch your eye. I have seen this band three or four times, but last night was the best because they were playing at the Walker Museum of Modern Art as part of a monthly party that the museum hosts. This meant that as the spectacle that is All The Pretty Horses unfolded before me, I had nicely clad young men and women coming up to me with trays of lovely hors-d'oevres. And it was then that I realized that there is nothing like trays of mini-quiches and gorgonzola bruschetta to complete the transsexual glam metal band experience. _________________ The Flower is Prettier Than You.

I don't often see women wearing sneakers to work. But anyway, how about something along the lines of bowling shoes or sneakers reworked as shoes, like those below. They look nice enough to be worn with at least some levels of business casual. These are supposedly shoes for guys, but excepting Atticus, I can't believe that: [img] http://www.raffaello-network.com/ite...0927-nerot.jpg[/img] Back to top _ coup_d'skek My rank is higher than your rank.

I've run an online dating ad before and the only unsolicited responses are from 22/23 year old women, and it has nothing to do with $$$. robustpuppy wrote: 4. You're weird.

If by "wrong people" you mean men, surprisingly (or maybe not surprisingly) I think that men are the least of your worries when you wear clothes that send that message. I happen to have a nice body, and I do my best to keep it well covered and hidden from view when at work. I do that because it attracts negative attention from women, not from men. The men I can deal with, just like you say. But the women are much harder to deal with. There is only so much you can do to hide your body. So, even if you don't wear "fuck me" clothes like you are describing, if you have a nice enough body, you still attract negative attention - from women, though, not from men. Surprisingly (or maybe not surprisingly), it does not attract negative attention from the life-long unattractive or overweight women. Those women who become the most enraged by seeing a woman with a nice body are those who were cute and thin at some point in their life and now are not. I am not out to find a boyfriend or husband at work, so it is fine with me to keep my body to myself. But even when you try to keep it to yourself, there are people that will try to figure out what you look like under your clothes anyway. And all too often it is women who are apparently pissed off because they never learned to exercise. It is extraordinarily unfortunate that women like that exist, but they do. However, like I said before, I find it is never a woman who has been what men consider to be unattractive or over weight her whole life who is like that. It is always the women who at some point in their life were cute and attracted male attention and now do not.

He looks a bit sleepy eyed, wesley snipes, but that worked for Mitchum. Ummmm, this is one of the rare occassions where I enjoy being wrong. But, I saw the trailer for this flick. I'm not sure how many white people will buy Meg Ryan as a boxing promoter. And who's he playing? The black fighter trying to claw his way out of the ghetto. It's not exactly a "Cider House Rules," role now is it? [Actually, I wouldn't know. I haven't seen Cider House Rules. Just an educated guess.] But, as always, I hope it opens things up for him and others.

I also added to Not Bob's idea that wearing suggestive clothing at work would get you into trouble with men. It will also get you into trouble with women. I don't wear suggestive clothes at work, but even if you don't wear suggestive clothes, you still can run into problems. Actually, what I think you said was that you havea nice body.

You explained other womens' behavior in terms of their looks and their reactions to yours. That seems demeaning to me. I'm not saying that to be a feminist you have to love all other women, or that you haven't encountered petty, jealous women and men in your life and in the workplace. Haven't we all? I am a feminist, too, but perhaps the difference in our views on this point is just a matter of personality rather than politics. See, when my mother told me that other women were so bitchy to me because they were jealous, I chalked it up to mother love rather than adopting it as a philosophy.Back to top _ JustForFun I post so much, I am beyond a rank Joined: 10 Mar 2003 Posts: 136 Location: People's Republic of California Posted: Mon Mar 17, 2003 10:44 am__ _Post subject: Re: Fuck Me Clothes ------------------------------------------------------------------------ barely_legal wrote: b/c no man wants to be with an attractive woman who has her own mind!

If it is who I think it is, than I will vouch that you are up there on the prettiness scale, although I have only seen you fully clothed--except in my imagination where you are always completely naked except for the pitchers of beer that you are holding. FWIW, the attorneys in your city tend to be prettier than the attorneys in other cities though.

I think similar studies have shown the same result for other life changing events whether positive or negative; e.g. winning the lottery or suffering a debilitating injury. In most cases, people return to the same level of happiness within about a year. The idea is that people have a set point for happiness, much like they do for weight, and that a single event, no matter how life-altering, rarely changes it. This must explain people like Christopher Reeve and Michael J. Fox on the one hand, and Ben Affleck on the other.

They changed it because outraged parents of boys complained it was sexist to do this just for girls. Of course, the whole concept is a flawed conceit of the middle-class intelligentsia. Most women who bring their daughters to work will show them that, statistically, females generally work in dead-end, low-paying jobs with little opportunity for advancement (like, say, mine). Most parents who bring their boys to work will merely validate the idea that, statistically, men generally get treated better because of their gender.

I don't get all this squabbling over women undressing others and guessing at their bodies and being jealous (and caveat - I skimmed all the sniping). If people spend any time in a gym, you know that some women can walk in looking fabulous and fit, but they take off their clothes and have cellulite from hell or quite the little poochie stomach that they've been able to hide. On the other hand, some women don't look as good in their clothes (ill-fitting) but look fabulous naked. Just be happy with how you look and move on, fer chissakes. I don't care to invoke jealousy in any other female, just want to look good for whomever I may be dating at the time, and want to feel fit and healthy. And paigow, not to worry - I was never in a sorority, and mom debuted only once. Of course, there were numeous balls and parties leading up to her debut, hence her need for more than one gown. I tried to stay out of that world as much as I could, but I love her old dresses. The bridesmaid dresses from the 60s are the best, though - went as Mother Nature one year in this mint green taffeta/semi-hippy twirly dress that PLF probably would have loved.

From there they will proceed up to Ashland and Superior. Then back down through Rice Lake, Eau Claire and all the way down to Madison and back over to Milwaukee. Each will be driving a pink Volvo with Illinois license plates and a large bumper sticker that reads: "I'm gay. I'm a vegetarian. Bratwurst clogs your arteries. The Green Bay Packers suck. Go Bears!

I think there are very few skilled, successful actors and what ends up happening is that the viewing public is essentially buying someone's personality. We like Julia Roberts, so we want to see a Julia Roberts type character in a bunch of movies. It's like packaging and selling the popular kids in high school. I understand that there is type-casting and studios tend to hire actors for roles they've had success with in the past, but either way, I think my argument still stands. Anyway, name five actors/actresses who take significantly different roles from either (1) other roles they've had or (2) their out-of-character personalities. Here are my five: 1. Ed Norton 2. Johnny Depp 3. Jeffrey Wright 4. John Malkovich 5. Daniel Day Lewis Or, better yet, who are the top five most guilty of playing the same damn role or playing up their personality quirks in each of their roles: 1. (hands down) Samuel L. Jackson 2.

Ditto on Meg Ryan and Michael Douglas (to be fair, Meg Ryan has tried the non-cutesy thing, but it just didn't work (I'm thinking of the movie with Russell Crowe where her husband gets kidnapped and the movie with Matthew Broderick where her boyfriend and his girlfriend are having an affair or something, and Meg and Matt stalk them -- I didn't actually see this movie, so some of the details may not be exactly right.) I don't know who Jeffrey Wright is, but Johnny Depp is a good one too. Now for my list, don't laugh, but I think Brad Pitt is a darned good actor -- and don't laugh at Marky Mark either -- he's not bad! Here's my 5 good ones (I don't know any of these people personally, so I have no idea if they're "playing themselves" or not): 1. Brad Pitt 2. Nicole Kidman 3. Philip Seymour Hoffman 4. Meryl Streep (cliche, I know, and she's made some duds, but she's an amazing talent) 5. Marky Mark (see, e.g. Boogie Nights, cf. Perfect Storm) He was great in Three Kings too. 6. Anthony Hopkins (I had to have 6, because I wasted one on Marky Mark -- but MM is so unexpected, I had to put him in for the controversy factor. These polls are too difficult!!) Now, I could probably come up with 50 who play the same character over and over again (or are probably playing something not too far off their own personalities), but these are some pretty egregious ones: 1. Hugh Grant (although went against "type" in About A Boy -- which may be what got him noticed...) 2. Tom Cruise 3. Al Pacino (he's one of the worst, actually -- here's Al Pacino as the Devil, here's Al Pacino as an angry cop...) 4. John Cusak (lovable, but you've got to admit, same guy every time) 5.

Hip-hop already is embraced by movies, fashion and any number of other industries — try counting the commercials with a rap beat — eager to reach young consumers entranced by the music or the lifestyle. But risk-averse networks typically drag their heels at innovation. They certainly try to avoid the sharp edges of cutting-edge culture, and hip-hop has been dogged by its share of social controversy and violence. In the brave new TV world of antiheroes on cable's "The Sopranos (news - Y! TV)" and "The Shield" and broadcast's "Kingpin," however, that issue would seem to be a nonstarter. There's another reason for the lag, suggests "Platinum" co-creator John Ridley: Any genuine hip-hop series has to feature black characters, and networks have shied away from black-oriented dramas, which they see as a tough sell to general audiences. http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmp..._hop_dramaBack to top _ EvenOdds Too sexy for her rank Joined: 14 Mar 2003 Posts: 69 Location: Texas Posted: Mon Mar 17, 2003 4:13 pm__ _Post subject: Re: POLL POLL POLL POLL POLL ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ThurgreedMarshall wrote: from either (1) other roles they've had or (2) their out-of-character personalities.

Tom Cruise - he may be the worst "real" actor who still has a viable career. I actually disagree with this one. Maybe he chose to do too many Top Gun type movies, but I've never thought he was bad in a movie. He may be guilty of selling us his personality, but I don't think his personality gets in the way of the characters he chooses to play when he does branch out a bit. I didn't like Born on the Fourth of July that much, but it really was a different role. You can even argue that he did some acting in Vanilla Sky. He's not going to make me forget that he's Tom Cruise, but I think he does well in the roles he chooses. I also think Brad Pitt is one of the most underrated actors. But I just like his style. He was great in Snatch (one of my top ten favorite movies -- if you judge them by how many times I can watch them over and over again). Hmmmm, sounds like another poll.

He's pretty versatile. (although that doesn't make me like him all the time (see, e.g. any action-hero movie he's been in) - although I liked Raising Arizona and Adaptation - and Fast Times at Ridgemont High). Someone else who is versatile (although generally ranges from sucky to very very bad, does try a lot of different things) is John Travolta. Thinking about Vincent Vega always makes me giggle. And Cameron Diaz tries to do different things - compare her sucky roles in Very Bad Things and My best friend's Wedding to her in Being John Malkovich.

I understand that there is type-casting and studios tend to hire actors for roles they've had success with in the past, but either way, I think my argument still stands.

One-scene movies: Post-interupted because GWB just pushed all his chips into the center of the table.

Just to note, I had recently saw him in the original "Get Carger" and loved the contrast. Incidentally, THAT is a great movie. I'm surprised it was released in those days. It's like a 70's version of grand theft auto. Brendan Fraser is only OK, but what can you expect? He looks the part to play a typical squarejaw in the league of a thousand men. But he's really out of his element. He kicks ass in the Mummy type action movies and some romantic comedies, and that's really where he belongs.Back to top _ MangoLassi What's in a rank?

Let's review some of them that illustrate how incredibly freaking wrong you are about him playing the same role every time. 1. Moonlighting. Bruce might not be a ham as David Addison, but he's certainly not kosher. Haven't seen this much mugging since that Knicks-Heat series years back. 2. Die Hard. Bruce as everyman-action hero. People forget that he showed a vulnerability conspicuously lacking in the Stallone/Arnold genre. 3. Twelve Monkeys. In interviews, Terry Gilliam reveals that he consciously made Bruce refrain from three acting tricks (the thing he does with his lip, etc.) that he had used before. 4. Pulp Fiction. Very natural performance. 5. The Whole Nine Yards. Broad comedy. 6. Unbreakable. Sedate, as in almost sedated. Say what you want about his roles, but don't tell me that Bruce was the same in The Whole Nine Yards and Unbreakable. Now, on to the most watchable movies... 1. Desperado. The only time this movie is not about a gunfight, it's about having sex with Salma Hayek. Genius. "Bless me Father for I have just killed quite a few men." 2. Snatch. I saw this three times in theatres. Guy Ritchie knows how to use music in film. The scene where "Disco Science" plays while dogs chasing a hare (coursing) are intercut with Bricktop's henchmen chasing and torturing Tyrone is brilliant. "Do you know what 'nemesis' means? A righteous infliction of retribution manifested by an appropriate agent. Personified in this case by an 'orrible cunt... me!" 3. The Big Lebowski. "Jackie Treehorn treats objects like women, man." This pretty much goes for all Coen Brothers movies. I really liked The Man Who Wasn't There, but that film is one you have to see from beginning to end. It's operating at a waltz rhythm. 4. Pulp Fiction. I have this on DVD, but I still watch it to the end if I see it on cable. "Normally, both of you would be dead as fucking fried chicken by now, but since I'm in a transitional period, I don't want to kill either one of your asses." 5. Clerks. My favorite Kevin Smith film. "Hey, try not to suck any dick on the way through the parking lot!" 6. LA Confidential. "Wendell, I'd like full and docile co-operation on every topic." 7. Better Off Dead. "What's a little boy like you doing with big boy smut like this?" 8. The Princess Bride. "I mean, if we only had a wheelbarrow, that would be something." 9. Croupier. This is a pretty obvious one given my name. 10. Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels. "If you hold back anything, I'll kill ya. If you bend the truth or I think your bending the truth, I'll kill ya. If you forget anything I'll kill ya. In fact, you're gonna have to work very hard to stay alive, Nick. Now do you understand everything I've said? Because if you don't, I'll kill ya." Another dozen watchable films: Amelie, Being John Malkovich, Broadcast News, Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, Dr. Strangelove, Groundhog Day, Ocean's Eleven, The Royal Tennenbaums, Rushmore, Say Anything, Sexy Beast, The Woman Chaser.

People are fat because it's largely not fun, and eating is. Why not just say, "yes, spinning classes really are misery unto death, but you will die before you can even finish that box of Twinkies, and you will never ever be asked to have sex with anyone ever again, if you don't suck it up and do this." Honesty I can respect. I exercise because I don't want to croak early from a heart attack and lift weights because my bones will fold like an envelope if I don't keep 'em strong, not because I enjoy it. While individual activities (walking the dog, swimming, biking, etc.) that don't seem like exercise are fun and can get people moving despite themselves, perkily saying that exercise is fun will only make people roll their eyes and grab the Cheetos.

The problem is, you have to share a neighborhood/city/country/planet with thousands, if not millions of people just like them.

Vince Vaughn--Contrast "A Cool Dry Place" and "Swingers" also that movie with Anne Heche and Juaoquim (sp?) Phoenix something with Paradise in the title. Matt Damon--"Ripley" and "Good Will Hunting" Brad Pitt--Seven, Legends of the Fall, Fight Club and A River Runs Through It.

So the Civil War is a thornier issue than most. But generally, yeah, the law of war does frown upon the wholesale expropriation of private property by uniformed regulars. Only the civilized nations observe this, but I think it was and is a military crime forcibly to take souvenirs from civilians. As for the string of litigation, I took an advanced property class in LS in which we argued over whether Union projectiles found throughout the South could be said to be federal property, or subject to the law of abandonment. The debate went longer than it should, because some people take this shit seriously. So yes, but usually it's only worthwhile if it's a Nazi-looted Picasso. http://www.lootedart.com/ A(Nazis . . .

You didn't go to Chicago. Did you? Didn't you just say it all goes back to elementary school? Here's what dinner-table conversations were like in my family: Quote: The Nine-Year-Old: Dad? I've been reading the Twelve-Year-Old's World War II books... Dad: Yes? The Nine-Year-Old: And was there really a time when if you had 200 German marks the most you could trade them for was one cent? Dad: Yes. And worse than that. At its worst--at its worst, at the peak of the German hyperinflation, one dollar would buy you four trillion marks. The Nine-Year-Old: Why did this happen? Dad: Well, the government had bills to pay and wanted to spend money--to spend money on the unemployed, on public works, on payments to those who had quit their jobs in protest over the French army's moving into the Ruhr Valley. The German government didn't want to tax enough to cover all its spending. And nobody would let the German government borrow from them. So they printed money, and there was inflation. The Nine-Year-Old: What is inflation, exactly? Dad: When everyone thinks they have more money in their pockets and bank accounts than they need, and everyone tries to spend it at once, and so prices in terms of money rise: money becomes worth less--and, in the German case in the early 1920s, worthless. The Nine-Year-Old: Dad? Dad: Yes? The Nine-Year-Old: You're not as funny as you think you are. I just think you should know that. Dad: Thank you. The Nine-Year-Old: So why does this book say this inflation was such a bad thing? Dad: Well, first of all, it was unfair. How would you feel if you were a German family that had saved 5,000 marks and put it in the bank, and inflation made it so that that 5,000 marks was worth not the $1250 it had been worth before World War I, but only 125 one-billionths of a cent? The Nine-Year-Old: Annoyed. Dad: And the whole point of money is to make buying things convenient--all you need to carry on a shopping trip is a small purse. But in the German hyperinflation... think of people taking wheelbarrows full of money to the grocery store, and returning with a small bag of groceries because of how much inflation had eroded the value of their currency. The Nine-Year-Old: I think I know how I would have stopped it--stopped the inflation. Dad: What would you have done? The Nine-Year-Old: When the mark was worth only a trillionth--I would have stopped printing marks, and printed something else that was worth a trillion times as much, and promised not to print so much of it that people would start spending too fast. Dad: That's what they did. They created a rentenmark, worth one trillion marks. And they said that the number of rentenmarks would be controlled by an agency independent of the government, so the government couldn't tell it to print more of them. The Nine-Year-Old: Did it work? Dad: Yes, it worked. As Uncle Milton says, inflation is always and everywhere a monetary phenomenon. Stop printing money, stop letting the money supply grow, and the inflation stops. The Nine-Year-Old: How long before they did this? Dad: Oh, the hyperinflation went on for three or four years. The Nine-Year-Old: Why did it take them so long? I'm just a kid. If a nine-year-old kid can think up what to do, why did it take them so long? Dad: Well, first, you probably would have made a better central banker than Hjallmar Schacht. Second... inflation allows a government to spend more or tax less than it would have to otherwise. If you cannot convince the government that the inflation is doing more harm than cutting spending or raising taxes would, you won't be able to convince the government to stop it. And it's only when you get to the wheelbarrows-full-of-money stage that the government is easy to convince. As long as the government sees inflation as the lesser evil, the least bad choice, the fact that we know how to stop it doesn't matter--because the government doesn't want to stop it. The Nine-Year-Old: Humph.

And what Oscar movies for the year were worth 2-3 hours of my time? Frida defines "wait for video." It will probably end its run in a week or so anyway because Salma Hayek won't win for best actress. Julie Taymor (known for directing "The Lion King" on Broadway) goes halfway with this movie. There are some parts that try to be experimental and relate to Kahlo's paintings, but the film itself is a conventional biopic. On the plus side, there's a fair amount of naked Salma Hayek , and some lesbionic activity , though the previews promise far more than Ashley Judd delivers. Ashley and Salma dance a tango, but it's not as hot as advertised.

People seem invigorated...wittier...and dare I say it, prettier. Except for a certain prancey kitty. I haven't caught up yet, and probably won't bother, but I did see that y'all have been abusing JFF (with, among others, a priceless bon mot from GWNC). I know I'm in the minority here, but....I think we should take pity on her. She is 40-ish, after all. Don't we cut 8-track and Bilmore some slack because of their age? Also, despite her hot bod and talent for inspiring lust, she's still doing the serial boyfriend thing 20 years on. She's lonely and trying not to appear desperate, but she's oozing neurotic intensity from every pore. Hanging out with younger and younger people. Laughing a little too long...a little too hard. Having that extra martini at the bar. Looking around semi-casually for someone who might light her cigarette - while having a lighter hidden in her other hand, against her thigh, just in case. Coping. Running. Eating right. Rationalizing. And seeing a therapist. Asking, during session, why it is that decent, good-looking guys don't like smart hot chicks. Is it the substance? The packaging? Both? Pity her, I say. On a somewhat more sobering (and thought-provoking) note, dawn has broken over Baghdad. "This battle fares like to the morning's war When dying clouds contend with growing light What time the shepherd, blowing of his nails Can neither call it perfect day nor night." --Henry VI, Part 3, act 1, sc. 5.

This conference is the deepest it's been in awhile. str(GLG)8 The addition of Amonte and the return of LeClair have helped the scoring, but I think the Flyers' lack of toughness will eventually do them in. Even if Gagne and Cechmanek get over their groin injuries (and Justin Williams makes a miraculous return for the playoffs), they are still less talented than the Senators. And although I think they could beat Toronto, the pounding they'd take from the Leafs in a seven game series would leave them hurting for later rounds. Stealing the 2 seed from NJ is key, this way a series against Ottawa, Toronto, or NJ can be avoided until the Conference Championship.

Sundin appears to be playing well, but just getting kind of stonewalled. And Mogilny had that personal problem last week. I just hope they go into the playoffs strong, and face someone other than Philly (Tampa maybe?). Did you catch any of Tuesday's game - what the hell happened in the third period?

Logo whores are another matter. First, in pure graphic-design terms everything out there except the Chanel logo is f#$%g ugly. Second, begging for validation from others so openly makes you look like Donald Trump, who despite the fact that he can buy every snotty-ass old family in NY will always seem like a penny-ante Atlantic City pimp.

As for the Flyers, I am muy impressed with how well Tony Amonte has fit in since moving over. Amazing how being on a playoff team will motivate you, eh? Or maybe he and JR have been able to reignate that ole Black(hawk) Magic. And the return of a relatively healthy number 10 doesn't hurt. Alas for Not Bobby Clarke and the pumpkin orange faithful, overcoming a lack of offense won't solve all of Philly's problems. I agree with Darren Pang about their goaltender.

Cechmanek clearly has benefitted from Hitchcock's defensive schemes, but he is still the same fragile headcase he was a year ago. The fact that the Flyers can now get an occasional 1-0 or 2-0 lead has helped his confidence immensely.

The show gets the coveted "Joe Millionaire" Monday time slot, starting April 21. In "Mr. Personality," a young, beautiful single woman will court several eligible men who must rely strictly on their personalities to captivate her. That's because each man will have some sort of mask or hood on throughout the "dating" process. Which is okay because, as Ms. Lewinsky can attest, personality is mostly from the waist down.

I have interviewed with a branch office of a Biglaw firm to be a lateral associate. I expect to receive an offer after the firm conducts their customary conflicts check and due diligence. They have asked me to sign a release which authorizes them to check my criminal history, credit history, and DMV records. I was recently arrested for a DUI (a misdemeanor), which, according to my lawyer, will definitely show up on my criminal record, even though there hasn't been a conviction or even an arraignment yet. I intend to plead not guilty and fight the charge. This is my first criminal offense. First of all, I'm not 100% sure that the firm will actually conduct the criminal history check. I've lateraled to firms before, as have many of my friends, and we've never been subject to this kind of scrutiny, which feels quite invasive. Should I just tell them up front about the arrest or wait until they find it? What effect do you think this will have on my receiving an offer? Should I tell my headhunter instead? Also, does anyone know if this could disqualify me from my state bar?

Iron Lung wrote: Also, does anyone know if this could disqualify me from my state bar? Can't answer that one for you -- each state is different. Here in the State of Bliss, a DUI misdemeanor might give a bar applicant trouble, but not a current member. But who knows how it is where you are? Ask your lawyer -- after all, that's what you're paying him for, right? Or call the Bar. Good luck.

I do believe you are required to report conviction of crimes of certain types to state bars, but such requirements probably vary by state, and also, it depends upon the level of the crime. So you need to check with your bar. It probably has the information you need on its web site. I don't know if you are required to report an arrest. Again, you might need to make an anonymous call or have someone make one on your behalf to find out your obligations. I don't know what to tell you about the firm. Since it is just an arrest you might tell them and explain yourself. On the other hand, you might keep mum and wait til they ask you about it, if they do. That is a tough one. I have a tendancy to be overly honest so I think others will probably have better advice for you. Back to top MangoLassi What's in a rank?

Should I just tell them up front about the arrest or wait until they find it? While it's a judgment call, and a tough one, I wouldn't tell them. You haven't been convicted of anything, and you're innocent till proven otherwise. Plus there's always the chance they won't catch it in their check, while telling them guarantees they'll know. Iron Lung wrote: What effect do you think this will have on my receiving an offer? Should I tell my headhunter instead? Also, does anyone know if this could disqualify me from my state bar? It's impossible to tell whether it will affect your receiving an offer, but it would be a damn shame if it did given the commonplace and morally neutral nature of the charge. I'd be very surprised if it DQ'd you from the state bar. I *would* tell your headhunter, who may have relationships with people at the firm that permit him/her to do effective spin control.

Island (LiVing a lie) Girl I will explain my guess on the Asian thing. Now I don't deny that I am a glittering generalizationist so take this fwiw. Every attempt to go to the LV store in Paris requires standing on aline that is 99% asian for an hour to get into the store. I am sure anyone who has been to this store can confirm this. Second, I have two good friends who are Asian and not born in the US who both reside in So Cal or spent most of their American time there. THese girls are the worst label whores I have ever seen in my life. I dont know if it is bc this is their way of trying to blend in with the wealthier americans or cover up their immigrant background or if it is just some kind of Asian thing that ties into the asians at LV in paris. but they are the worst conspicuous consumers I have ever seen. ANd I am not including patentpara as one of these two gals. I say this as something I have observed. Kind of how I observed that black peopel are better singers.

I caught it last night and came home with a new bag (also black, with white stitching) and two pair of shoes. So you've already cost me a couple hundred dollars (all things were on sale), and have made me want to spend more -- as the Montparnasse tote has also caught my eye. In Camel. I do not wear camels or browns or anything that goes with said colors (I am a summer), so this mystifies me. It must be the adorable blue lining. I bought two pair of shoes, one pedestrian pair for day, one dressy pair for an upcoming evening event. Why is it that shoes affect women so? When I tried on this dressy pair -- essentially a 4 inch heel, a sole, and two skinny satin straps with beads -- I felt ultra plus double hot (I'm not saying that I AM, I'm saying I felt that way), even though I was wearing those weird footies and a pair of tattered khakis and could do with a fresh pedicure. I will note, however, that my breath was fresh as cold mountain air.

Watterson did not want to merchandise the strip, and aside from the books, he never sold the rights to anyone, despite pressure from his syndicate. I wouldn't be surprised if the pressure is what made him stop writing the strip. Your best bet would be to get a copy of the strip from the appropriate book (there are 16 of them), take it to a high quality copy place, and make a copy of the strip and frame it. http://www.alloftheabove.net/cahr/watterson.htm (Spree: info on Watterson) Back to top Replaced_Texan I am simply a cog in the Lawtalk Machine Joined: 10 Mar 2003 Posts: 67 Location: Deep in the heart Posted: Fri Mar 21, 2003 11:27 am Post subject: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Oops, I lied.

Wow. So is that what everybody's doing? I dunno. Maybe they're doing dinner in the dark. Quote: Single New Yorkers Seek Soulmates in the Dark By Ellen Wulfhorst NEW YORK (Reuters) - Call it the ultimate blind date. The latest fad to hit New York City's singles scene is "Dinner in the Dark." Imagine a gourmet four-course meal with champagne and fine wine -- served and eaten entirely in darkness. Only the waiters, wearing night-vision goggles, can see what's going on. Promoters promise the dinner is intimate and people lose their inhibitions in the pitch black, making it a great way to meet people. It's intimate, all right, and people definitely lose their inhibitions, as a recent dinner showed. Whether anyone would want to meet these people, who acted more like high school students during a cafeteria power blackout than like urbane urbanites, is a whole different story. The least-impressed diners walked out midway through one recent "Dinner in the Dark," while the happiest ones bragged afterward about their conquests. "It was great. You got to grope strangers, like that blond woman right there," a 36-year-old business manager named Jeff said gleefully. He also admitted to tossing pieces of bread at other diners under the protection of darkness. "Dinner in the Dark" began innocuously enough. Thirty or so patrons, who paid $89 apiece, gathered in a downtown restaurant, sipping cocktails. Organizers explained how the diners would be led into a darkened dining room, how they should feel cautiously for the food, how not to knock over their wine glasses and how to signal a waiter for an escorted walk to the bathroom. Various diners volunteered that they shouldn't or wouldn't eat certain foods -- mango, nuts, beets and chocolate. Organizers dutifully took notes. Then, as soon as the diners were seated with the lights out, unable to see anyone or anything, the supposedly sophisticated New Yorkers somehow became anything but. The dinner erupted into a melee of shouting patrons, crashing glassware and flying slices of bread. As plates shattered, diners burst into rounds of adolescent cheering. A loud splash was followed by a woman's shriek. "Ow. You spilled that all over me. I am so wet," she said somewhere in the dark, obviously the victim of a misplaced, or misfired, drink. As she tasted her first course, Jennifer, a 28-year-old financial analyst, whined: "It's fishy. I hate that." The appetizer was a plate of sweet peppers stuffed with codfish and served with guacamole in truffle aioli sauce. The two entrees were pan-seared sea scallops with butternut squash cake in mushroom cilantro sauce and roasted baby lamb in phyllo dough with artichokes and tomatoes. And the dessert was butternut squash ice cream in a dark chocolate and truffle sauce. A few diners defiantly lit cigarette lighters for illumination. Others booed, complaining that the little lights ruined the experience. Nina, 31, a pharmaceutical saleswoman, said the man next to her, a total stranger, kept rubbing her back. "I can't stand that," she said, adding that she was disappointed in the dinner after earlier dinners had won good write-ups in online promotions. The dinners are organized by Cosmo Party, which runs events for singles in New York City. "It's for singles who want to meet new people and for couples who want to have a good time," said organizer Jerome Chasques. Cosmo Party has done about a half dozen "Dinners in the Dark," he said. "All of them are really different because of the people, of course. I don't know why this was the most rowdy one," he said. Some, he said, are quite serious, recalling a man who proposed to his girlfriend of six months during another recent "Dinner in the Dark." This dinner was clearly not a hit with Jennifer, the financial analyst. She finally left in a huff, declaring even her dessert "disgusting." "I'm a picky eater, and a picky eater shouldn't come here," she said. "Alcohol, it's the only thing you can trust," she muttered as she headed back in the direction of the bar. Some loved the experience. "We were just copping feels under the table. I felt like I was in kindergarten," said Sabreena, a 33-year-old attorney, standing amid broken glass in the littered dining room after the meal. "And I like the fact you feel your food. I ate with my hands." Claire, also a 33-year-old attorney, conceded that "Dinners in the Dark" aren't for everyone. "If you're going to complain about the food, complain about the dark, you need to go somewhere else," she said. Her complaint? "You needed more wine," Claire said. "The wine needs to flow a little more freely."

Who knew that would make me a hick in Canada? They are a bunch of really nice, down to earth guys, who also have a good sound (I think). They are just overplayed on Canadian country stations (because there are not too many Canadian country artists and Canada has Canadian content regulations for its radio stations). Therefore, their songs are associated with a sort of conventional country hick-ness, even though they really are kind of folky. Back to top MangoLassi What's in a rank?

Cheesy sixties/seventies pop that reminds me of my youth (can I get a witness for "Playground in My Mind" "Puff, The Magic Dragon" and Sammy Davis, Jr.'s version of "The Candy Man"?). Earnest protest and/or socially conscious songs like Phil Ochs' "Love Me, I'm a Liberal" and Woody Guthrie's "This Land Is Your Land" (can I get an amen from those in the congregation who had a long-haired teacher with an acoustic guitar in elementary school who sang that one?)

We briefly had a fix for it but that was during the time when the site was crashing, so when we took out the modifications we took that out as well. We will continue looking into how we can have them, but it might take a while. As far as controlling the size of a picture in the sig line, you really just need to pick smaller pictures or shrink them on your own and upload them to a free hosting site.

I live out here in the people's republic so it was 2 am, not 5 am. By that time my b/f was sleeping, but I still wanted to watch the war coverage. Just like when it is 5 am for you it is 2 am for me, it is the middle of the day in Iraq and that is when you get to see what is going on on the ground. For me, this has nothing to do with my feelings for my b/f or the quality of my relationship. I am very happy in my relationship. This is like when a happily married person thinks a celebrity is attractive. Only less harmless because there is no one person I am focusing on, rather, I am focusing on the concept of who these men are. I am sickened by all the anti-war protestors out here in the people's republic. As I heard the father of a marine that was killed in action say, why don't the anti-war protestors go work in a soup kitchen or homeless shelter or do something useful? He was talking about the negative effect the anti-war protestors have on him and his family as they grieve the loss of their son. I like to watch the video feed of the ground troops out of concern and admiration. And I really do admire these guys. They are brave and honorable and I am impressed. Out here in the people's republic, I am confronted daily by these wimpy leftist Berkeley types who don't even have an understanding of the issues behind this military action. They are just out to protest anything they deem part of the establishment. They have no concern whatsoever for the Iraqi people. If they did, they would be on the side of liberation. It is like that quote from a UPI article that I posted the other day. It was from this guy who went to Iraq to be a human shield. When he got there, he admitted that he was "shocked back into reality," when he realized the Iraqi people hate and are oppressed and tortured by Saddam. Duh. Some of these dumbasses in Berkeley need to actually speak to someone from Iraq to see how they feel about all this.

The two aren't connected. As a man, I am SURE you are aware that you can have feelings for more than one person at the same time. You can have outrageously good sex with one person and still feel attracted to another person. The two are not mutually exclusive. Only, as I said before, in this case, I am not even focused on a particular person, but, rather, the concept of who these men are. So it is a little harmless fantasy I can indulge myself in.

Do any of you Texans remember a band from like 1983 called the Judy's? Their album Washarama was pure genius. I also heard Michael Jackson's Wanna Be Starting Something on the radio today and was reminded of how good he was back in 1983, and before he went completely off the fucking deep end.

Now I feel bad, but I was 9 or 10 and just not into the local music scene at the time, as you might imagine. In fact the only thing I was listening to were my ABBA and Billy Joel tapes (go ahead, laugh). I didn't even own a radio. Oh, and my mom's old Gerry Rafferty album on vinyl - loved that!

Every day I work beofre her arrival is a day I can take off once she's here. (Brazenette countdown= T-7 days and counting). On an unrelated note: Has anyone seen the Complaint in the Elizabeth Smart case? It's chilling stuff. Read it here: http://www.thesmokinggun.com/doc_o_d...llcharge1.html On another unrelated note: I forgot to add The Breakfast Club to my list of movies I can watch ad naseum. No movie has more quoteable quotes.

I had no idea what the fuck you were talking about (as usual) until I noticed the line underneath my name. Those are stupid. Can we lose them? Speaking of things that are stupid, what is with all of the quotes in the signature lines? Does anyone think people read them more than once? If not, why post it more than once? Are they supposed to neatly sum up who you are? Thurgreed(even worse are the ones with the smilies in them)Marshall |
