You wait, newbie sock, on the Pol-tics Page
For Ty to make a faux pas
You post, newbie sock, in a red-faced rage
That makes us all click "ig-nore."

LIESL
Click "ig-nore."

You are new school, going on middle school
Newbie, it’s time to think
Better beware of Sebby and Flower
Newbie, they made me drink.

You are new school, going on middle school
Monikers all start to blend
Which fish is Spooky? Why’s spanky kooky?
Did Bilmore come to an end?

Totally unprepared are you
To talk about Greek isles
Timid and shy and scared are you
Of pubic hair grooming styles

You need someone older and wiser
Telling you how to post
I am middle school going on older school
I’ll keep you from being toast

LIESL
I am new school, going on middle school
I know my schtick needs work
Thurgreed’s a blast, he raved at my ass
But I hear he can be a jerk

I am new school, going on middle school
Mucking through all the slime
Salacious PMs, emails and IMs
Which dudes are worth my time?

Totally unprepared am I
To read about Slave’s sex life
Timid and shy and scared am I
At the thought of Mister's wife

I need someone older and wiser
Explaining this place to me
You are middle school going on older school
Make me an F-Beh-tee.

This made me laugh long and hard. Maybe I'm just in an easily-amused mood.

A few years ago, there was a discussion about pre-fab/contemporary housing, and I said something about wanting to explore the shipping container option. A few choice comments were made about double wide trailers, and the discussion moved on.

Two of my best friends are builders who use shipping containers as their main structure just did a photo shoot on their prototype home. I've been to the house many times and I'll be doing an expansion on my house using similar ideas, but these pictures make me want to have the expansion done now: Cordell House

It's a interesting looking house, but what does using shipping containers add to it? (I would also think the metal would be terrible insulation in the summer, but maybe they've sandwiched a bunch of insulation between two sheets of it).

They use a paint developed by NASA for insulation. I think there are three or four coats on the outside, and the cost is about the same as it would be for cladding the inside and shoving insulation between the cladding and the steel wall. This particular house is really, really well sealed, and has a high efficiency AC system that lowers relative humidity. The owners keep the thermosdat at around 78 in the summer and are more than comfortable.

The shipping containers add a few things. First, they're recycled, unlike traditional framing materials. Because of the trade deficit, there are a lot of empty shipping containers in the US, and they're not really expensive (between 1500 and 2500 depending on size and quality). And because a good hunk of the structure is already put togeher, jobsite waste is reduced considerably. There wasn't a dumpster on the jobsite or at the warehouse, and the whole project threw away ten contractor bags worth of waste.

Second, they're not going anywhere. Those suckers are designed to be stacked nine high on shipping vessels and get knocked around quite a bit. In places where structural integrity is an issue, they're awesome.

They're also easier to pre-fab off site, so the construction time is reduced quite a bit. The gallery they built took 53 days from conception to completion. This house took about four months, mainly because no one had ever done stuff like this (at least in our area) before and there was a bit of a learning curve on a lot of the fit and finish details.

Lastly, they're easy to dismantle and recycle once the useful life of the house is done. The gallery (which I can't find good pictures of) is on leased land, and whenever the landlord decides that he wants to build something else there, the gallery owner can dismantle the building and move it somewhere else with about 5% waste.

The court never addressed the fact that the two women were labeled, "hot."

Joaquin Phoenix's body made an appearance on Letterman last night. It's unclear whether his brain came along or if this was all an act.

My favorite line at the end was when Letterman said they owed Farrah Fawcett an apology.

Was it Fringey who had a thing for Joaquin back in the Gladiator days? He has definitely dropped in hotness.

Cuz they're tools:

At the behest of a sponsor, Michael Phelps has recorded a video apology to the people of China, expressing his remorse over the recently published pictures of him using a marijuana pipe and thanking them for their support and forgiveness.

The 52-second video has been posted on several Web sites in China, and one major Chinese newspaper said the video had been sent directly from the Japanese auto company Mazda, which last month signed Phelps to an endorsement deal believed to be worth more than a million dollars. Phelps was signed to promote Mazda cars in China after his record-breaking eight-gold-medal performance at the Beijing Olympics last summer.

maybe you're looking at it from the standpoint of an American consumer and you feel that a normal American wouldn't be bothered by the photo. Mazda is trying to sell to the Chinese; perhaps they might be bothered?

If only we had a correspondent who had recently traveled to this strange land to give us insight into their culture. If only.

So why not fire him and let it be known that he's been fired?
