I'm not sure many movie critics would agree with my taste in movies. For example, next on my list at the moment is Old School (anyone see it yet?). I did see the Two Towers. It was very good. Especially the parts with Gollum.

n(MY precious)cs

Old School was *very* funny. I'm not a huge Will Farrell fan, but he was very good (he was especially funny in the "couples counseling" scene). Even Mrs. Not Bob thought this movie was funny, and she is not usually a fan of sophomoric humor.

And yes, I'm calling you a Methodist.

Firstly, I am no methodist. I have never even tried methodism, except for that one time college, but it was at a frat party and I was curious and all the pledges had to do it anyway so I don't even think that counts.

Secondly, I didn't say anything about the picture because I was too moved by her crayon drawing of the US flag to be able to mock her properly. No one draws that poorly unless they are a mental defective, and I usually pity mental defectives--unless they do something funny like trying to stop a bulldozer with their faces, in which case I laugh. She is so defective that despite living 23 years in the birthplace of democracy she doesn't even realize that she is holding the flag upside down while she is burning it. That is why the kid in the left hand corner is laughing and that is why this sad defective died alone. She probably said "let's lie down in front of this tractor and stop it with our faces". A kindly palestinian probably wiped the drool from her mouth and said "okay Rachel...you first. Good job Rachel!!! We are all winners here, Goood Job!!!" It was probably the last thing she heard, except for possibly somesort of muffled crunchy sound.

At any rate, you can see why I was so moved by her plight. I find it almost impossible to laugh at her, except that I can laugh at anyone--especially when they try to stop heavy machinery with their face.

Of the movies nominated for best picture, I have seen Chicago, The Hours and Lord of the Rings the Two Towers. I'd guess that the Hours will win, though my favorite was LOTR. I'm dragging myself to see Gangs of New York later on this week so I can scoff at whatever awards it brings home (Daniel Day Lewis, excluded). I understand that it may be this year's Titanic.

Of the other various categories that have been nominated I have seen Catch Me if You Can, Adaptation, My Big Fat Greek Wedding, About a Boy, Spider Man, SWII:AotC, Minority Report, Bowling for Columbine, Ice Age, Unfaithful, and The Quiet American.

I liked generally all of them, except Ice Age, though some more than others. I'd see Unfaithful and Adaptation again. I really liked Catch Me if You Can.Back to top

Focus people!

Where would award shows be without fashion...and where would fashion be without proper accessorizing...bringing me back to the matter at hand. HANDBAGS! Help a sista' out. I'm mean what's a girl gotta do to provoke a good old-fashioned swap of handbag stories. Sheesh!

I just need, say, five people to post what purse-like conveyance they use to bring all their lawerly trappings into work each day and I will be satisfied, e.g., "Tod's 2-handle leather tote."

I hate to interupt the Oscar buzz, but I've got an itch to buy and no direction.

I use a Hermes Birkin, but that's only for the weekends when I celebrate my inner chick.

For ideas about handbags for work, I suggest that you say "pursejunkie!" quickly three times, and maybe she will come by to help you out.

OK, if it'll shut you up. I carry a Coach neoprene tote from like four years ago for all my "tote-able goods", and I am currently carrying a tan and black animal print with burgundy lining Kate Spade square bucket bag for a handbag.

If you go back several days, you'll see that there is a patent Louis Vuitton bag in lavendar that I am currently lusting for...

I can never resist the imploriing of a newbie, until she starts talking about her body.

For work purposes, I carry a black gucci bag. It's a slim rectangle, almost a tote. I can actually fit contracts, my cell, and my palm in it without it looking too bulky.Back to top

I am questing for a new all-purpose handbag. I am not finding what I want/need at Coach, Kate Spade, D&B and am having trouble thinking of other comparable vendors. I have a few requirements: 1) pockets for phone/blackberry, 2) leather; 3) nothing too "crazy" (i.e., "work appropriate"); 4) not your grandmother's "pocketbook" either.

Any leads would be greatly appreciated.

Contrary to what may be popular belief I'm not a shill for Prada, and they may have what you want. I was in there the other day admiring the schwag (nothing with logos, though), and they had stuff meeting all your requirements.

Also try Bottega Veneta.

Better yet, figure out what not-current-season Prada or other bag suits your purposes, then look for it on eBay. The deals on new stuff can be mind-boggling. (eBay has good baguettes, too.)Back to top

Focus? Are you joking?

Ok, lets see. When I am carrying a handbag for day to day use, I use one of two colours: beige or black. It depends on what I am wearing. More often than not, I use black. I do have a green one I use on rare occasion. It is so dark though that people think it is black.

I don't much care what brand it is, I like my purses to be simple and unobtrusive. They tend to be small. Sometimes I use a clutch sometimes a regular purse. I don't carry a lot, if I am carrying a lot I have a briefcase. If I have a briefcase, I don't normally have my purse. I just put a little clutch inside my briefcase to grab if I need it. Same if I have my laptop.

Of course, I also want the purse to be well made. It is always made of leather. Most often though, my mom gets them for me. My mom is probably Purse Junkie's sock. She has like 30 purses, and is always trying to pawn them off on me.Back to top

She didn't. Weren't you paying attention? Greece is not the birthplace of democracy, it is the birthplace of anal sex. That is why they say you should beware of Greeks bearing gifts. When greeks say they have a gift for you, they usually mean anal. Greece was, according to Greeks, the birthplace of democratic ideals--like anal sex--but not the birthplace of democracy per se. According to unreliable legend, democracy was actually one of Thomas Edisons many inventions. After a christmas party involving some copious and vigorous "gift giving" by Mr. Edisonadapoulous ("Edison") to his favorite employees someone suggested that fairness dictated that they should vote on one person to receive the gifts and the rest of them should eat cranberry stuffing. They usually don't teach you that in schools because most schools are afraid to talk openly about vigorous anal to young children--unless it's a catholic school.Back to top

You're all crazy. Of course the LV clutch is not office-bound or practical in the least, but it's kicky and fun! Kicky and fun...say it! *laugh* You can dress it up or dress it down. You can stuff it full of toilet paper and use it as a pillow at 3 am when you haul your inebriated ass in to a bus stop and realize you can go no further.

You can't put a price on that kind of utility.

How many scrotums (scrota?) would it take to make a handbag big enough to fit the wallet, the sunglasses, and the cell phone? I would think you'd need to fuse 2 layers together to produce a reasonable level of durability.

You're right. I was not clear. I am questing for an all-purpose handbag, and, in said search, I was hoping to enlist the help of posters far wiser than I (and, apparently, susceptible to some ass-kissing). However, I am also lusting after the LV clutch (that no one else on the planet likes but me).

Sorry for the confusion. I'll endeavor to be clearer in the future.

Wow. You're getting more unfunny by the minute. Is that a condition? If so, is it lethal?

Just a little question...which of you folks deleted the board by mistake hmm?

Actually, I imagine we had some weird something happen, none of the other boards seem to have been impacted.

I have a backup, but it will take some time to implement it which I simply don't have right now. For the moment, here's a new board for ya.

And speaking of fashion, I imagine a lot of you will be watching the oscars, and wow Renee Zellweger has no breasts, but I digress, it will be interesting to see how things go without the long red carpet. They still seem to be doing interviews though.

And there is a fashion poll: TM, you should be happy! Halle won

This is a nastily compelling movie. Man does Campbell Scott play quite *the* snappy talking, assholic misogynist. I haven't been so struck by one since reading the short story Wipeout by Thom Jones. The character playing his younger brother is a great foil. But damn is Scott a sleazy bastard.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Well it's still early enough here in the west for me to post some Oscar thoughts.

Worst Dressed: The guy who accepted the award for Eminem.
I also thought Geena Davis' dress was pretty bad, but she wasn't featured very prominently.

Worst speech in a big spot: Nicole Kidman. Incoherent.

Star of the night: Steve Martin. Best hosting job I can remember. Jokes were killer all night, and even more impressive, managed to set the perfectly appropriate tone. "Hosting the Oscars for a second time is like making love to a woman for a second time. I guess." or "Richard Gere failed to get nominated for a great performance in Chicago, to which I can only say, welcome to my world Richard Gere."

'Instead of making great movies twenty years ago, maybe I should have been having sex with fourteen year olds' award: Martin Scorsese

Justice is Served: Catherine Zeta Jones wins acting award, Renee no-talent doesn't. Perhaps there is a god.

Oh, and as for who stole the board, do what I do -- blame change-agent. Or my cleaning lady, who always hides everything.

str8.

Award for craziest eyebrows I have ever seen goes to Adrien Brody.

Award for luckiest girl in the world goes to Calista Flockhart. She is so out of her league with Harrison Ford that it makes the head spin. No way would she haev been at the awards if it werent for him. Her career is over. What is he thinking?

Award for luckiest guy in the world still goes to Ben Affleck. If ever there was a guy who doesnt deserve the spoils of fame and fortune it is this average Joe. I dont get it.

Award for most disgusting director goes to Roman Polansky. APparnetly his statutory rape involved drugging a 13 yo and anally raping her. What a life this guy has had. Someone should do a movie on him.

And I think Susan Sarandon, Nicole Kidman and like ten other people had the same dress on. Everyone says how beautiful Nicole Kidman is,but the woman completely lacks sex appeal.

Marcia Gay Harden should call her plastic surgeon and try to get her nose back. ANd speaking of nose jobs, did Barbra Streisand's nose appear to be a little smaller?

And I love that Diane Ladd, who must be 40 is dating a guy who probably isnt much over 30. Ditto Julianne Moore for marrying someone almost a decade younger.

Isn't Diane Lane involved with Streisand's step-son John Brolin?

My impressions:

Steve Martin was wonderful. Michael Moore was a schmuck. Adrien Brody was charming.

I liked seeing all the old acting award winners on stage, and Peter O'Toole gave the best honorary oscar speech I have heard -- humble and brief.

Hilary Swank's dress sucked. It looked like a prom dress from wal-mart. Toile over a mini-skirt? Ick.

Julianne Moore should fire whoever did her makeup. It was incredibly unnatural and unflattering. Cameron Diaz is a close second.

After watching the whole show, The Pianist is the movie I most want to see. Followed closely by Talk to Her.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Worst fit: Jennifer Garner. $4000 for a dress and you can't get the designer to loosen it up so your breasts aren't smooshing out over the top like little marshmallows?

Worst fashion trend: corpse-colored lipstick like Nicole Kidman and Barbra Streisand wore. Completely unflattering and undermined a smashing dress on Nicole.

Most improved: Geena Davis. Hair and dress not ot nearly as fussy and hideous as usual. Someone should get her a job again now that she won't be an embarrassment at awards shows.

Really liked: Julianne Moore's dress with the soft ruffles, great bold color complemented her skin and she's got the bod for it. Halle Berry can do no wrong. Kathy Bates putting on some glam after all those years of unflattering "I Know I'm Fat and It Depresses Me" caftans and ugly pantsuits, and blushing when Steve Martin said "Jack Nicholson got into a hot tub with Kathy Bates, but then, who hasn't?"

Loved: Jennifer Connelly. She's definitely gained some weight back (can't see all gross those Skeletor bones just beneath her collarbone anymore) and looked just incredibly beautiful.

Worst hair: Sissy Spacek. I know she's anti-glamour and all, but honey, you are not taking out the wash to hang on the line.

Total disconnect: Diane Lane. Loved her dress until I saw that the pretty beaded/tulle top was connected to a featherbed explosion below.

F@#$%ng overrated: Renee Zellweger. What is all the fuss about?

Best speech: Peter O'Toole. A total gentleman, witty and kind. Nicole Kidman: incoherent but sweetly well-meaning.

Should be Taken Out and Shot: Eminem's cowriter for best song. He looked like Slash circa 1986 at the MTV awards. Have some dignity, you skank.

Musicked off, too. I seemed they struck up the "your time is up" tune a little fast. What made it worse was that the speech wasn't just about the war. The rant started with questioning the "fictitious" presidency of Bush, which is kind of a two-years-ago issue now.

Steve Martin's line about it was pretty good. "The teamsters are now helping Michael Moore into the trunk of his limo."

Agree with most things posted already... My noms follow --

worst dress -- Queen Latifah. The dress she wore during the song number was great. Her other one (while seated) was horrid. Never saw her standing up in it, but while seated it made her look like a whale. Large breasts should be accentuated in a good way, not covered with a burlap sack. Sad after a great Golden Globes appearance.

worst earrings -- Julianne Moore. She always does those big earrings that look like hangers. Hate them. Always have. I'm also coming out as a non-fan of the dark green on redhead look she always does. Works for some, but not for her OMHO.

worst speech -- Michael Moore. But we all knew it was coming.

best dress -- Catherine Zeta Jones. She looked great! Nicole also looked good in my opinion. Liked Halle's dress but I would have LOVED it in a different color (why so much gold/beige? it never shows up well on tv).

worst hair -- Harrison Ford. He looked like a deranged madman who is thinning up front. Maybe his stylist left town on vaca last week? Needed a cut. Bad.

I haven't seen Bowling For Columbine because I can't abide Moore. But I've heard it's very good. Is there anyone else who thinks he's odious but who can recommend the movie?

Interesting point about the Michael Moore speech.

According to a Times article in this morning's paper, he gave a longer version of the same speech the night before at the Independent Spirit Awards. The Times reports that he was widely cheered.

What I hated the most about the speech was that he had all of the other documentary filmakers up there purporting to support his crazy rantings. Assuming the Times is correct, they knew exactly what he would say and had no reason to look embarrassed or shocked, as they did.

Re: Jennifer Connelly -- weight gain is quite common in pregnancy, I hear. I'm not sure why the odd mannish jacket covering it up, but whatever. I don't find her very attractive -- and I think she takes herself a little seriously. I think she was so skinny last year because she was going through a "rough patch" of having broken up with a long-time bf and perhaps the stress of the whole Oscar thingy. She's never really been a skeletor (save last year.)

Renee Z. -- totally agree. I loved her dress, but GEEZ -- where did her boobs go?

Nicole K. -- I think she rocks and that she's unbelievable beautiful. I missed her speech, though. Was that her daughter sitting behind her?

Halle Berry looked stunning, as usual. And stunned. I wouldn't have been surprised if she had slugged Adrien Brody if he'd gone on for another second, though to his credit, how many chances is he gonna have to snog Halle Berry like that again?

Julie Andrews has the best plastic surgeon in Hollywood. The tell tale singns of aging simply weren't there. She looked great.

Meryl Streep sounded like she was on something, but she looked good, and she seemed gracious enough when she lost her awards.

Didn't it seem like everyone who won for Chicago had to walk a guantlet? Renee didn't spend too much time talking to people, and I wonder why she backed out of performing the duet, though I loved the pairing of Queen Latifa and Catherine Zeta-Jones.

Colin Farrel cracked me up, and he's rapidly getting higher status on my laminated list.

Someone needs to show the puffy shirt episode of Sienfeld to Sean Connery. At the very least, he should have followed through with the kilt.

Dianne Lane looked radiant, and I'm amazed that the color of her dress didn't wash her out.

Chris Cooper's acceptance was sweet. I've always liked him.

I was amazed at Kate Hudson's ability to pull something off that looked absolutely great. Usually her outfits are overly odd, but last night she looked stunning.

Queen Latifah been wearing that same shade of blue / silver to a couple of these things, and she looks good in the color, but the suit at the GG's was much better. The dress that she wore to sing in was much better fro her.

Anyone notice that Ben Affleck's been working on his spanish pronunciation? His woman's dress reminded me of some from a few decades back. Or perhaps a toga party.

Salma Hayek seemed pretty pleased when her movie won two awards, but I honestly thought that she was going to slug the winners of the best foreign film award. Mexico probably would have had a better chance in that category if Y Tu Mama Tambien had been nominated instead. She looked much better in the red dress she wore to the Golden Globes.

Jennifer Connelly's pregnancy gear was much less inspired than Catherine Zeta Jones'.

Calista Flockhart still annoys me, so I can't be objective about what she wears or does. And Harrison Ford's hair was wrong.

Daniel Day Lewis looked as relaxed as I've ever seen him at one of these things, but the grey sort of made him look ill.

Jennifer Gardener's straps looked too tight on an otherwise OK outfit.

Was Sean Astin the ONLY person from Lord of the Rings present?

Richard Gere looked delighted to be there despite his lack of nomination. Carey Lowell looked pissed off half the time the camera was on her though.

Ed Harris is letting the aging process happen.

Cameron Diaz needed to do something to her hair. Her dress was unremarkable.

The red dress that Marcia Gay Hardin wore two years ago was much better than the aqua blue strapless dress she wore last night.

Julianne Moore looked great in the green, and she had a sort of befuddled and amazed look on her face all night long.

Nicole Kidman's dress was ok, and she looked nice throughout the evening, but she really should have thought a little bit more about what she was going to say before she got up there. Chris Cooper and Adrian Brody were also emotional, but they were able to sort of be coherent.

The awards that amazed me the most were to Polanski, Eminem and Moore. I saw Bolwing for Columbine, and I enjoyed it, and anyone who knew that Moore was in the building knew that he'd make comments like he did. I haven't seen the Pianist, but I really have enjoyed the last few movies that Polanski has done over the years. And I just assumed that U2 would get the award.

It was Nicole's daughter behind her, and Nicole said in her speech how she was glad she won so her Mom and daughter could be proud of her. Weren't they already you'd think?

Oops, didn't realize Jennifer Connelly was pregnant. It agrees with her. Maybe Renee Zellweger will get knocked up, start eating again and get her breasts back in time for the next award show.

Calista Flockhart--needs to be force-fed. She looks like her neck and torso are going to snap under the weight of her big head. If I were Harrison Ford I'd be terrified of crushing her during sex and never touch her.

I don't think his speech is so easily dismissed as "crazy rantings." I agree that last night was neither the time nor the place. But I never understand why people can't express the opinion that they are against the war without it being read as insane or unsupportive of the troops that are in harm's way. In fact, asking them to be brought back seems to me to be as supportive of the value of their lives as it gets. Unrealistic, yez. But I don't think being against the war necessarily means you don't support the troops in harm's way.

Now, don't misunderstand me. Moore went off on too big a political tangent, bringing in the election results, etc. But saying the war is being fought for "fictitious reasons" isn't really that big a statement. I'm guessing people were more upset with the timing and forum. Although, maybe I'm just mistaken.

On a personal note, I don't know where I stand on this war. I think Bush has done a lousy job explaining why we need to fight this war. If it's because Saddam can deliver weapons of mass destruction that he has stockpiled somewhere, he hasn't done a very good job of proving that he has such weapons or can deliver them. If it's because he's on the verge of gaining nuclear capabilities, he hasn't done a very good job of establishing that either. [On a side note, I remembered hearing someone say that nukes (in any significant stage of development) couldn't be hidden as they can be detected from space. Am I mistaken? If this is actually the case, how hard could it be to take out a facility that held them whenever anyone got close?] He constantly implies or says outright that Saddam is connected to Bin Laden, but I haven't really seen them draw a distinct connection there either.

So, the question is, do I have enough faith in Bush and his administration to trust that they have all this information? Is the reason why they haven't pointed to it because sharing the information in this manner would be detrimental to our intelligence efforts? Governments shouldn't have to be open with absolutely everything. And I think people these days expect access to too much. Hell, our generals go on tv and tell everyone in the world exactly what they're doing and planning (if I were president, I would put a stop to that quick fast).

My problem is I don't have enough faith in Bush. I don't think he's that bright. I think he is incapable of complex negotiation and diplomacy. I think he puts all of his faith in his advisors and probably favors being "tough," so puts more faith in his military advisors than anyone else.

So, I guess you can judge me on being wishy washy on this war. I hate that American servicemen are being killed and wounded. I hate that civilians will be killed and wounded. But, if it turns out that Saddam has taken significant steps toward stockpiling and/or delivering chemical, biological or nuclear weapons to the US or other important oil-rich countries and we go in there and find significant evidence that he has, then you're damn right we were right to start the war. However, I suspect what's going to happen is that we'll end up destroying everything and then we'll say something like, "well, it would have been here, here, here and here, but we obliterated all that shit, so we'll bend over and you can start kissing our asses now." In that case, I'll still feel wishy washy.

Oh, the stress of the Oscars. The poor dear. Putting on the right dress that some superdesigner made and the right zillion dollar jewels so ou can sit in a chair and watch all the stars and maybe accept an award and then go out and party. Life is tough, isnt it?

Anyway. I thought she looked like shit last night. THough I saw her for a half second. Maybe if she smiled more or something. She just looked like two hairy eyebrows and a scowl.

Renee looks like a kewpie doll with a delightful downhome personality. THats her appeal. She needs to get past the eating disorder though. Maybe she is stressed about the Oscars?

Well, I don't know -- I imagine it might be kind of stressful getting up live in front of a huge audience like that, and getting jitters about winning, and at the same time going through a traumatic (I assume) life-changing event (the long-time boyfriend breakup business) -- I don't know (and I'd wager you don't know either.) Wha-evah...

My only point was she'd never really been a skeletor in the past, so unlike some other "amazing disappearing actresses" (see, e.g. Renee Z., Brittany Murphy - YIKES!! and Christina Ricci), I think with her it may have just been a phase. But, I could be wrong, maybe after she has this baby, she'll go back to being a skeletor.

I do not at all see the appeal of Renee Z. The only thing I've ever liked her in was Bridget Jones's Diary. Her eyes are lost in her face. I didn't see Chicago, though -- maybe she was appealing in that.

Remember that CHristina Ricci,Renee and lets go with Jennifer Aniston since I dont the Brittany Murphy oeuvre didnt used to be skeletors either. I think this has more to do with a race to the bottom type thing brought on by seeing Calista Flockhart. People suddenly felt fat or learned diet tips or thought it was a trend or somethning, and Connely probably jumped on that bandwagon. Christian Ricci has admitted as such.

I just saw a pic of COnnelly- she looked better. Beautiful skin assuming it isnt all baseface, but you could scrape such of that shit on her eyes off.

and, having read Kate Hudson looked fab but not havin gseen her, I went looking for her pic. Found one on E. I cant cut and paste pics but you can probably find it. She looks like she is in her forties. Bizarre. Also kinda looks like Ellen Barkin. I suspect that her beauty may have peaked in Alnost Famous and the tied in VanityFair spread.

While this dude is not "conventionally handsome" I suppose, he has an interesting face -- and I though he was so charming last night, he seemed very sweet. I didn't see the movie, but heard a snippet of an interview with him where I got the impression that it was actually he playing the piano in the movie. What a renaissance man!

(And I notice he took every opportunity to kiss the pretty girls -- no dummy, he!)

I do not at all see the appeal of Renee Z. The only thing I've ever liked her in was Bridget Jones's Diary. Her eyes are lost in her face. I didn't see Chicago, though -- maybe she was appealing in that.

She did fine in Chicago (including one *incredibly* well-done number as a Charlie McCarthy-like dummy to Richard Gere's Edgar Bergen), though I liked CZJ much better.

However, thanks to digital cable, I have seen Jerry Maguire approximately seventeen times in the last 4 days (never all at once, of course). She was very good in that, and she has never looked better than she does in that flick as the accountant who loves Tom. She had me at hello. Sniff.

At least Kate Hudson avoided the bizarro Cher-reject fringed capelet thing she wore recently. If she could only get her scuzzy rock-star husband to trim the Grizzly Adams beard (and I love the Black Crowes), she could almost be ready to go outside.

I've only ever seen one expression on Renee Zellweger--the eyeliner-slits-for-eyes and puffy-bright-red-lips-pursed-tightly-together thing--in every magazine photo, on every red carpet, in every role. She is indeed very cute, except for the new Skeletor problem, but as was once said of Katherine Hepburn, her acting range "runs the gamut from A to B."

As previously noted, Jennifer Gardner looked good - except for the squished boobie issue. She looked like she had really been working out her arms and shoulders.

Julianne Moore looked OK, but I really hated her dress - I thought it was just plain boring. OTOH, if she was trying to look understated (war and all) she did a fine job. Along the same lines - who wore the bright turquoise prom dress? - that looked horrible - not a remotely flattering fit and the color was just off.

Thought Queen Latifah looked great - didn't see the dress, but the makeup looked awesome. CZK looked good - not so sure about the double strappies on the dress, but it was very flattering. Renee Z's hair looked cute short, but I'm glad she didn't win.

NK looked luminous as usual, but I didn't really like the dress straps on that one either. I'm glad she won. Hehe - take that Tom!

That Adrian guy who won was adorable - rambling but nice speech.. He didn't play the piano (as someone mentioned) but he trained for like 6 months to look like he was playing. And kudos to him for smooching Halle - any sane guy would have done the same, given the opportunity.

I couldn't tell whether she was horrified or bemused. She was something though, cause she gave a funny little sound and had an odd look on her face.

I didn't see any of the Oscars. What did Eminem win for? I saw 8 Mile and really thought it sucked--and I actually like Eminem (although I disagree with a lot of his statements).

Has Eminem ever been presented with an award by someone who didn't despise him? Didn't Christina Aguilera give him some award and snidely say something like, "And the award goes to......haha.....interesting.....Eminem."

Best song. Yeah, that was sort of what I was getting from Babs. She figured she'd get to peace out with Bono. Although she probably was quite pleased that he wasn't there in person.

I think I need to read the how tos more closely. I can't seem to predict when the quote deal will work, couldn't figure out how to post my own avatar, can't ever post images or links, and just am generally retarded. I'll read the stuff.

I'm sure PLF is pleased that using the emoticons is basically idiot-proof.

Ew! He looks like a wet, meth-crazed Fabio!

I was thinking of the "Superfriends" version of Aquaman. Apparently, he's been taking a lot of steriods. Which sort of "un-man" you right? Maybe that's why he's so pissed.

Change the demographics a bit, and it looks like she does.

Must we beat this analogy over the head? Maybe, for some, the right euphemism is "submitting the post"?

According to a Times article in this morning's paper, he gave a longer version of the same speech the night before at the Independent Spirit Awards. The Times reports that he was widely cheered.

I saw the Independent Spirit Awards on Saturday and can confirm that Michael Moore gave essentially the same speech that he gave at the Oscars. He got a much warmer response from the IFP than from the Academy.

I have no problem with Michael Moore giving such a speech. I'd rather hear some controversy than hear an actor thanking a phalanx of lawyers...and I am a lawyer. On one of the E! post-award shows, the some co-host asked an audience member what her favorite moment was of the Oscars. When she replied, "Michael Moore's speech," the female co-host looked crestfallen and said, "We don't have to pick a bad moment." Why is controversy bad?

There is no truth to the rumor that I deleted the Board because my Oscar picks were so off base. For the record, the Board was deleted hours before The Pianist nabbed surprise awards.

Nicole Kidman and Julianne Moore have looked better. CZJ looked fantastic. Jennifer Connelly looked better than she did last year, so I'm hopeful that in a year she will look beautiful again. A little extra weight really suits her.

Adrien Brody gave the best speech of the night. I'm so glad that he was able to talk the orchestra out of playing for a while. Would it kill the telecast to have everyone get an extra minute? I watch the Oscars to see awards and speeches. Didn't Rob Lowe kill the whole song-and-dance thing years ago? I fret for the future when a dozen bad clones of Chicago sweep across the country like a pink, frilly wildfire.

Lastly, The Sports Guy has lost a lot since he started writing for Jimmy Kimmel Live. Because JKL can't get any guests, he ought to focus on keeping his core audience amused. Bill Simmons will not be getting a gold watch from ABC in twenty years.

Why is controversy bad? At a time like this?!?!? My fucking god/allah/jesus/joseph smith, I take it, assfuck, that you don't have any relatives fighting in Iraq. Maybe if you did, cocksucker, you would think differently. For one fucking moment in your life, try, just try, to think about life outside of your little fucking cocoon.

I grew up in a military family. I have tremendous respect for those who serve. The fact that no one in my immediate family is currently in theatre has no effect on my opinion of the war, President Bush, or anything else for that matter. You are not a member of the military either; you are a shrill, hateful bitch. The military exists to protect freedom. That includes the freedom for people in San Francisco to protest against the war, the freedom for people in North Carolina to hold pro-war rallies, the freedom for Michael Moore to criticize George W. Bush, and the freedom for you to make a ham-fisted, unpersuasive, homophobic, ephithet-filled attack on me.

I don't think that protesters help their cause by snarling traffic in San Francisco. They delay parents who are just trying to get from work to their children, they force millions of city dollars to be spent on police overtime instead of on basic services, and they do stupid things like reaching for a cop's gun in the middle of a melee.

JFF, you don't know me, my family, or my relationship to the military. I will tell you that I consider the right to protest to be something more than "a trivial thing," even, and in fact especially, when I disagree with them. Based on my own personal experience, I know that the men and women who serve this country are too strong, proud, committed, and motivated to fall to pieces when Michael Moore criticizes Bush. What's more, I consider "the controversy" to be not only Michael Moore's remarks, but also the vociferous reaction to those remarks. For their part, I haven't heard any celebrity antiwar activists criticize the troops. There is no need to demonize those with whom you disagree, whether they are antiwar protestors or fellow posters on this Board.

I hope you aren't suggesting that I approve of Polanski's behavior. I just said the film won some awards. I haven't even seen The Pianist yet, so I can't pass judgment on the film.

Samantha Geiner, the woman who Polanski attacked, wrote in a LA Times opinion piece that people should separate his Polanski's work from his actions.

http://www.cnn.com/2003/SHOWBIZ/Movi...lanski.geimer/

Perhaps you should accede to her wishes.

OK, I will discuss. Left to right. What we have here is your stnadard After Hours FB NYC. We have Shave and Francis and (insert name of whichever Fbetty is the drunkest) having a little spooge contest on the nice lady. If you look VERY closely, you can see the soft fuzzies of a certain sweater (nice). She gets up to take a shower, leaving the boys alone (FINALLY!) to get it on. While in the shower, our Fbetty sobers up and bails, realizing the error of her ways. In the meantime, Lester, who is in town on frequent flier miles bc he has no "real" friends in SF and travels to get drunk finally stumbles in, having struck out. He has always wanted to see a little MM action and cannot believe his .luck that the F split. But he doesnt want to be seen as gay (NTTAWWT). So he puts on his monkey suit and watches Shave and Francis go at it. Of course Shave and Francis are so into it that they dont realize that a guy in a monkey suit is watching (or do they? I hear Shave likes an audience).

All in all, your average night out with the NYC FBers

My Bravissimo tanks arrived and they absolutely rock--I can now wear strappy little tank tops for the first time since I was 14! Wearers, expect fairly serious body armor along the lines of a strapless bra, and major cleavage.

JustForFun, if Bravissimo was your idea, thanks. But otherwise, you're a repulsive egomaniacal homophobe who should stop calling herself a feminist, as your imbecilic schoolyard antigay epithets are a pathetic embarassment to us all.

I'm a DD so I can't speak to whether the D would fit you. Garnet Hill has tanks (don't remember if they're strappy) that go by cup size up to D (which is why I ordered from Bravissimo instead); Victoria's Secret's bra tanks go up to C I think.

Incidentally for workout tanks w/support, Title 9 (yes, spelled that way) has them in your size I believe.

Double D? Good lord, you must be exhausted toting those things around. Have you contemplated breast reduction surgery? I have three friends who have done it and all say their backs are much better off and they can do things like go jogging.

JM, I'm with you man. That's why the Dixie Chicks uproar baffled me. I was not aware that we lived in a country where it was unpatriotic to criticize the President. The same people who are getting their panties in a bunch about any criticism of Bush are the ones who spent 8 years demonizing Clinton (understatement). The excuse I've heard is that we're in a time of war, so everyone must get behind the President. That doesn't wash with me. If we are going to war to protect democratic ideals and get rid of tyranny, why is tyranny at an all time high in the US? We going back to McCarthyism? Get behind the soldiers. Worry about their safe return. Hope that the conflict doesn't cost too many lives.

Off soap box. Not even responding to JFF any longer because that is obviously exactly what the attention whore wants.

For the first time in my life I'm a little disappointed in the Sports Guy. I think he phoned it in on this one.

This is the first time I've read this guy, so I have nothing to compare it to, but this line was pretty good:

-- I think "Gymkata" could have gotten three Oscar nominations with the Weinsteins behind it.

Nope, love 'em. Only challenge is finding lingerie that's neither Grandma Ugly nor $5 Stripper Ho. Again, Title 9 for sports bras that will not let you boing around.

Garnet Hill makes some of their stuff but carries other manufacturers as well (Hanro for lingerie, etc.) so I'm not sure who makes their tanks. I've had really good experiences with them but haven't tried their own clothes. If you order let me know how it goes!

Found a Garnet Hill "natural fibers" website but saw no tanks. do you have a link?

and I am liking the look of the title 9 bras- esp the underwire sports bra (who knew- my sports bras all take the smush em down tactic and still I am bouncing whwen I run). Do you presonally recommend these bras and have you tried the underwire? I dont want to necessarily "enhance" my features when at the gym so that men are ogling me as I run in place for an hour. I just want some good old fashioined support.

Nope, love 'em. Only challenge is finding lingerie that's neither Grandma Ugly nor $5 Stripper Ho. Again, Title 9 for sports bras that will not let you boing around.

Garnet Hill makes some of their stuff but carries other manufacturers as well (Hanro for lingerie, etc.) so I'm not sure who makes their tanks. I've had really good experiences with them but haven't tried their own clothes. If you order let me know how it goes!

This is interesting. You love your double ds, but have had themsince a teenager. I assume they are real considering how long they have been around. I have never met an owner of the natural double ds that love them=- usually there is concern for sagginess, they interfere with activtiies, draw unwnated attention, bad for back, etc etc. You dont have these issues at all?

My mom and gramma are both double ds and I am grateful I am not as big as they are bc for awhile, it looked like I was heading down that road. I started developing in third grade and it was traumatic to say the least. But I think we already had this talk.

Here's the link:

Haven't tried the underwires but have 3 sports bras from Title 9 that are excellent (by Moving Comfort and forget who else). They rate support by 1-4 'barbells' (4 is highest)--go with 4 for max support and read descriptions--should help in determining what you can jog in.

I ordered one of the Garnet Hill tanks and tried it on a few days ago. It fits tight, so err on the side of ordering larger. It looks to be good quality. (It's been too cold to wear tank tops, so I haven't actually test-driven it yet.)

Replaced Texan noted that JLo's Oscar dress was a blast from the past. Turns out it actually was. From the Wash. Post:

"It was vintage Valentino, straight from the designer's archives. The fashion house says the one-shoulder caftan with a scalloped edge was
originally borrowed and worn by Jackie Kennedy for a visit to Cambodia. J. Lo and Kennedy. "

Sacrilege!

Anyhoo, did anybody notice the passionless peck and pat that Michael Douglas gave CZJ when her name was announced? I of course want to read into it, because I see no appeal in Michael Douglas whatsoever. Kirk Douglas, OTOH, you have to love.

PP and PJ, you may now go back to talking about your puppies. I'm surprised I don't see more male posters browsing this "forum"!

OK, I will discuss. Left to right. What we have here is your stnadard After Hours FB NYC. We have Shave and Francis and (insert name of whichever Fbetty is the drunkest) having a little spooge contest on the nice lady. If you look VERY closely, you can see the soft fuzzies of a certain sweater (nice). She gets up to take a shower, leaving the boys alone (FINALLY!) to get it on. While in the shower, our Fbetty sobers up and bails, realizing the error of her ways. In the meantime, Lester, who is in town on frequent flier miles bc he has no "real" friends in SF and travels to get drunk finally stumbles in, having struck out. He has always wanted to see a little MM action and cannot believe his .luck that the F split. But he doesnt want to be seen as gay (NTTAWWT). So he puts on his monkey suit and watches Shave and Francis go at it. Of course Shave and Francis are so into it that they dont realize that a guy in a monkey suit is watching (or do they? I hear Shave likes an audience).

All in all, your average night out with the NYC FBers

My Bravissimo tanks arrived and they absolutely rock--I can now wear strappy little tank tops for the first time since I was 14! Wearers, expect fairly serious body armor along the lines of a strapless bra, and major cleavage.

I love the look of their stuff and I desperately wish they offered it in C. I even e-mailed them exhorting them to make their stuff available to us less endowed femmes.

The only other viable underwire tank I found was the Garnet Hill one. The few others my net cruise netted were crappy, a la Victoria's Secret. (And I'd even order A VS one if they had one in a simple, classic style -- which, of course, they don't.)

Only downside is that fitting clothes like jackets is a bitch--and there is no such thing as a wearable off-the-rack (no pun intended) button-down shirt. Knits are good. Last time some random loser harassed me I yelled in earshot of other men that he had a tiny package and for whatever karmic reason have not gotten crap from strangers since.

Subliminal? I think not. I The discussion of bravissimo came up and then sports bras and then the avatar. so perhaps the convo gave MR the idea?

I stand partially corrected. It was actually bravissimo -- avatar -- sports bras; although the avatar existed before. But really, what are the odds of several FBers thinking about breasts (albeit in different ways, I'm sure) on a Tuesday morning?

I caught the recruit, and aside from some shirtless shots of him, it is definitely a DVD or cable movie, not a big screen movie. Entertaining enough, I guess, but in my opinion, fairly predictible.

Hey PJ

I checked this site out cuz I love strappy tops and have a decent size bust. Those tops aer for Ds smallest! Are you a D, or can a C girl wear these?

my name is paigow and I love my body

I'm a DD so I can't speak to whether the D would fit you. Garnet Hill has tanks (don't remember if they're strappy) that go by cup size up to D (which is why I ordered from Bravissimo instead); Victoria's Secret's bra tanks go up to C I think.

Incidentally for workout tanks w/support, Title 9 (yes, spelled that way) has them in your size I believe.

Found a Garnet Hill "natural fibers" website but saw no tanks. do you have a link?

and I am liking the look of the title 9 bras- esp the underwire sports bra (who knew- my sports bras all take the smush em down tactic and still I am bouncing whwen I run).

I just want some good old fashioined support.

The best thing about Title 9 is that they rank the bras for size and activity level. They have testers of all sizes and they'll tell you that so and so bra is best for smaller cup sizes at high impact, and so on. I have two of the Champion underwire (I'm somewhere between D and DD, depending on time of the month and which one you're looking at), and no motion AND none of that uni-boob look.

Okay, this is obnoxious.

It's the reply I got from Fern Evans @ Bravissimo to my inquiry whether they would expand their repertoire to us C cups. I explained there's virtually nothing else out there for those of us wanting tank tops that don't make us look like porn stars.

Quote:
Dear MangoLassi

Thank you for your email.

Its great to hear how much you love our products. I am very sorry however, to hear of your disappointment at not being a size that we cater for.

Um, believe it or not, Ferny, I'm not actually disappointed at being a C-cup, 'kay? No need to get catty.

Quote:
Unfortunately, we will not be extending our size range to the smaller sizes.

Fair enough, but, again, was the dig necessary? What'd I ever do to you, Fernster? (Aside from praising your merchandise & asking if I might give you my money in exchange for some of it?)

Quote:
Bravissimo was started by Sarah because she found that women with smaller back sizes and larger cup sizes could not buy pretty underwear on the high street. This is why Bravissimo only sell D - JJ cups as women with smaller boobs could buy pretty bras much easier.

Well, apparently you haven't walked a mile in my C-cups (let alone actually read my e-mail) because, surprise, surprise, there's nothing "easy" about finding tank tops -- even when you're a pirate's dream like me!

Quote:
For this reason, we will not be extending the size range of our Strappy tops.

Please accept my apologies for any disappointment this may cause as you are unable to find something similar elsewhere.

I think I'll get over it, but thanks.

Quote:
Once again, thank you for your kind comments about Bravissimo.

Kind Regards

A friend just referred me to this website. Sure enough, tanks w/underwire bras!! Choose between cotton & microfiber. They have Cs, Ds and DDs.

Cotton: black, white, pink & cafe au lait. Microfiber: black & white only.

(Go to their "Sleepwear & Lingerie" section.)

(Everything else on the site is old-lady stuff.)

A friend sent me this info, and I checked it out for my number and it didnt' work, but it did for another few numbers that I checked out, so you may want to be sure.

There is a new Google feature where anyone can obtain a map to your house just by typing in your phone number.

Go to google.com, and put in your phone number (i.e., 713-123-4567), and click. You get your name, address, and link to yahoo maps with detailed directions.

If you want to remove your number, click on the phone icon next to your name, which takes you to a page containing a description. At the bottom of the phone feature description, there's a link to request removal of your phone number from the database.

I don't like this sort of thing at all. The good thing is, I typed in my number and it popped up someone else's place - and now I have figured out why I keep getting calls for that guy.

Based on the way I am listed, I can tell that they got my information from an online purchase I made, not from the phone book. Just one of the prices we pay for the privilege of e-commerce.

It doesn't have a result for me on my phone number. None of the free databases do. I think it is because my number is unlisted.

Not to be all paranoid, but are you sure that requesting removal actually works, and does not do something nefarious? I seem to remember a similar uproar over the people find feature in the Lexis-Nexis database a few years ago.

I think it uses fairly old information since I moved almost a year ago and it has my name associated with my old phone number but my current number has someone else's name. Like you, now I know why I get calls and voicemail for some guy who is apparently Italian.

I didn't see any way to delete the information, regardless of whether it's accurate.

You could do the same thing, in two steps, with anywho reverse lookup and a click on the name to get an address. It's great for the old criminal tactic of calling a number to find out if the occupant is home, and then burglarizing the place. I can just imagine some of them driving around with laptops and wireless phones doing this.

My number pops up on anywho under my phonebook listing, but I had the phone company omit my address from the listing (I'm fortunate, because I'm the only Mmmm_Burger in town). So according to yahoomaps/google, I live on the Ellipse, and mapquest puts me in the 'hood.

The Ultimate White Pages has six or seven reverse look ups out there, so people may want to check and see what information some of the other search engines have. http://www.theultimates.com/white/

Hell, I can get pretty much anyone's address in town by going to the Tax Assessor's web site and plugging in names, presuming they own their own home. I've compiled a few christmas card and invitation lists that way.

The county's voters registration site has also helped with that sort of thing, plus it gives ages too, so some of the local socialites' deepest darkest secrets have been revealed.

Google, though, for some reason freaks me out a bit more because if someone wanted to look me up by name on google, they wouldn't be able to find me, but if they looked me up by number (assuming I'm in the data base) no problem. It takes some digging and web surfing to get to the right places on voters registration and tax assessors' sites, or to some of the reverse look up sites.

Stalkers must adore the web.

I would appreciate it if everyone who is using signatures in their pictures could please shrink them down and have them hosted on one of the free sites somewhere. Right now their size is a bit of a problem.

Someone asked if where you are hosting is the problem. No, not unless whomever hosts the site complains to you (or me) I am more concerned about the size.

Some places to host:

http://www.digikitten.com/
http://www.sighost.us/

Ezboard maintains a list of links of boards that host images at

We have an unlisted number and anonymous call blocking on our home line. I think it's fucking rEcockulous that you have to pay for privacy.

Anyway, our number doesn't lead to any hits on google (thank God).

I am shocked, shocked that they are no longer together.

Speaking of shocking developments, I cannot believe they sent Jennifer and Xavier home. I have never seen a couple better suited to each other. That Jennifer is quite a catch. She's so warm and loving, I bet she'll do great off the show.

You sound like my mother. She hates Jennifer. I think America agrees with you and my mother.

Was anybody else disturbed by the fact that the only way Stephen could get aroused by his new fiance was by her dressing up like a schoolgirl? Maybe he and the Best Director have something in common. How much must it suck to have your friends and family (and millions of total strangers) watch you beg your fiance for physical affection on tv?

I have decided to never audition for a reality show where there is the slightest possibility that my pixelated bare ass will be broadcast all over America. Especially if I am otherwise clad in a french maid's uniform. I thought I'd accidentally tuned into Skinemax during parts of last night's show.

I may be jumping in on the whole breast discussion a little late, but I wanted to toss in my 2 cents and represent those of us who are less...er...endowed.

I don't shop at Victoria's Secret anymore because, while their merchandise is plenty sexy, I had a bad experience there and the emotional scars have yet to heal. I went in there one day to buy a strapless bra. Now, normally I think of myself as a "B" cup, but apparently Vicky's operates under a different standard. After trying on a host of candidates and becoming more and more disturbed by seeing my woefully inadequate breasts swimming in foamy semi-circles, I threw myself upon the mercy of the 'bra fitting professional", who, without missing a beat, suggested that I consider "going without."

Suffice it to say, it was the first time the authorities had seen a tape-measure garrote.

So is that show worth watching now? If so, any idea if any affiliated channel is running reruns? I've been unable to watch since it changed to the watch us try to get along format. Will try to catch in next Monday...

For those of you wondering how the fuck you resize an image, here's a good, free program that's easy to use:

http://www.irfanview.com/

When you install it, there is a window which allows you to set file associations. If I were you, I would make sure none of those boxes are checked. That way, windows handles images with their default programs. If you check those boxes, all images on your computer will be opened with irfanview when you double click them.

Anyway, if you're wondering how to resize an image once you get irfanview installed, here's the process:

Download the image to your hard drive. Note the location where you saved it.

Open irfanview and then open the image from the file menu.

Go to the "Image" menu and pull down to "Resize/Resample."

In the box that pops up, you will find four "blocks" on the left side. The second one down has a selectable button titled "Set New Size." Make sure that button is selected.

In the fourth block down, there is a selectable box with text that reads "Preserve Aspect Ratio." Make sure that is checked.

Now, back up in the second block on the left side, input the new size of your image. I prefer to set this by inputting the height, since that is the critical dimension. Anything over 100 pixels high is a bit annoying to me, so I'd set it at 100. If that is too small, just make it bigger.

After you've inputted the new dimensions, click the "OK" button at the bottom of the window.

You should now return to the main window with a resized version of your signature.

Now, go to the file menu and select "save as" if you want to save it as a new file, or just select "save" if you don't care that the original file is overwritten.

Close irfanview and find the saved image file on your computer. Double click on it to see if the resizing worked (if you made sure to uncheck all the image files associations when you installed irfanview, the image file will probably open up in internet explorer or whatever browser you are using).

If you were successful, you can now upload the image to your favorite hosting site and place a link to your uploaded image in the "Signature" portion of your profile (just place the [img] and [/img] tags around the URL for your picture).

And now you should have a properly sized image in your signature.

p.s. I'd also add www.boomspeed.com to the list of hosts.

Every time they showed her pixilated ass, etc., I thought "her family must be so proud."

The show is annoying with the elimination stuff. After the two couples who were obviously poorly suited, the other three at least seem to like each other. It would be much funnier to make everyone have to sweat it out the whole time.

I think they are planning to re-air it on Thursday night, but I'm not positive. You could tvguide.com to find out.

ABC is premiering the third Bachelor tomorrow night -- so it doesn't appear that they are scrapping all reality tv. he is a "Firestone" of THE Firestones apparently, and sounds like a complete ass. Should be entertaining.

yes, that show is not listed on realityblurred -- only The Family and Are You Hot may be preempted. I can't get behind the Bachelor franchise mainly b/c I think that ABC does it poorly. Maybe if I had a working Tivo it would be ok, but I can't bear to sit through a whole hour of recapping every prior clip after the commercial breaks. The attempts to "build the suspense" have the effect of making me stop caring. Not the desired result, I would guess.

You don't need a Tivo, just tape the show and watch it later, fast forwarding through all the montages. I agree that they use too much filler and spend too much time recapping for the all the undedicated schmoes who didn't watch from the beginning (like me). There are very few reality shows that don't improve when you watch them with a fast forward button handy.

And you would think they would have the material. Sure, watching an entire date would be incredibly boring, but there have to be enough lines and stupid moments to fill an hour. Hell, Joe Millionaire managed to do it (until the last couple of episodes). Classic shit, like Melissa and her mercenary position and where did zora buy that breast. The bachelors and bachelorettes are just as stupid on ABC -- surely they can come up with something other than filler.

Oh, I feel shunned, great Cliquemaster. Please allow me to be FB Cool.

Oh, good grief. I was talking about you getting asked out at all. Not asked out by various fb cliques. Hell, I'm sure you've met more FBers than I have.

And if you were in NYC, not DC, I'm sure we would have met by now you wackadoo. So, stop with the clique crap.

You don't need a Tivo, just tape the show and watch it later, fast forwarding through all the montages.

There are very few reality shows that don't improve when you watch them with a fast forward button handy.

Alas I decided that VCRs are so 20th century and chucked mine (after losing/breaking the remote for the 50th time and not wanting to shell out for another freakin' remote). BF bought Tivo and it has been broken for months now. I am, as they call it, SOL.

Tivos break? shit, I'm cancelling my trip to Best Buy this weekend.

favorite moment from last night's MBA:

Stephen and Denise discussing favorite sexual positions:

Denise: I like a man's weight on top of me so I guess that's my favorite....

Stephen: What do they call that, the military position?

Didn't anyone watch the Miss USA pageant last night? I was forced to watch it by my better half. How she can stomach that crap is a mystery to me.

At any rate, Texas was robbed. I can't believe that stupid bitch, who said the three things she'd put in a time capsule to represent the 21st century were a cell phone, MAKE UP, and a computer, won! If that doesn't prove those contests are fixed, nothing does...

If Melissa from Joe $$$ were there, I'm sure she would have corrected him. "No, honey, it's called the mercenary position."

I would not be surprised if we saw a new version of blooper show to capture all of these precious moments : Reality TV's Funniest Morons.

FWIW, I've had a Tivo for three years, and I've had to reboot it exactly thrice. No other problems.

While this is a source of raging controversy on Tivo Internet groups, the DirecTV-branded Tivos appear to be the one retail appliance for which the cost of an extended warranty is justifiable. The problems are still rare, but being without one for any extended period of time is far more maddening than, say, losing the use of your blender. Or stereo. Or washer/dryer.

I saw the last part of this. I'll agree, she was pretty damn hot, but nobody was home.

Well, it might have had something to do with her puppetheaded discourse on the war. Something about "we shouldn't question our President". WTF???

I thought Miss Mass was a fair choice. She's kind of the type I go for normally.

But I Must admit, I was partial to Miss Michigan. She is SMOKING Hot.

By the way, is Billy Bush related to the Prez. There's sort of a resemblance there.

She is from TEXAS, WTF did you expect her to say in response to that question? Did you expect her to say she hates the Bushes and their politics? I'm not saying everyone from TX loves the Bush family, but they do have a lot of support down there. And, for what it's worth, even though she expressed a distinctly political view (in response to a political question), you can't fault her for taking a stance which amounted to nothing more than declaring "we should be supporting our troops and president in this time of war." Hardly an abrasive comment. And what's more important is that she was articulate and made sense!

WTF, could Trump not afford to get them all different bikinis? Good, god, a little variety in the pattern (particularly one so coco loco, or some other generic beach ware shop style) is not a bad thing. See SI.

And, as for Miss Texas, she's just learning from the Dixie Chicks -- don't diss on texas.

BTW, what were the other answers for the 21st century? Maybe makeup was better than the others.

And isn't it a bit premature to represent the 21st century? I mean, if the 20th century is represented only by the safety razor, windshield wipers, and cellophane I'll be damned.(http://inventors.about.com/library/w...ss11_inventors)

FWIW, I would say telephone, airplane, and computer for 20th century. Although birth-control pill might get in there too, especially if the airplane doesn't fit in the box.

And for 21st century, I expect some kind of personal transporter, virtual porn, and safe mind-altering drugs to be the most significant inventions. (Shit, I'm sounding like Less a bit now).[/url]

No shit, MR, and that fact wasn't lost on me. Not to turn this into the Politics board, but there's a little bit of a difference between supporting the troops and the president and not questioning what he does. Agreed? If I mischaracterized what she said, my bad. I may have been distracted by her breasts. So sue me.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

So, while I was on vacation I got to see Ryan Sutter's junior high yearbook pics, and read his lengthy and heartfelt inscriptions to my sil. Very cute. One of them included his phone number--sil says she's tempted to call up his mom to say hello.

Watched Oscars Sunday at a friend's house. She has another friend who is dating an MBA reject. Said reject is an actor, and the scuttlebutt is that the fiance selections are completely and totally rigged (surprise surprise).

Just a few notes from the Oscars:

Had all those women already decided to wear black, or was there lots of last-minute scrambling for the last black dress in town as starlets scuttled their colored attire for something more somber? Of the presenters and nominees, I counted at least 8 in black (Cameron Diaz, Jennifer Connelly, Mira Sorvino, Julia Roberts, Geena Davis, Susan Sarandon, Barbra Streisand and Meryl Streep), with two more in colors that looked black on TV (Catherine Zeta-Jones in dark brown and Nicole Kidman in midnight blue).

Cameron Diaz looked better than she's looked in a while--no scary wide bony cleavage and great red lipstick. The hair was a bit stringy.

Jennifer Connelly needs eyebrow help. And her outfit just looked dowdy.

Jennifer Garner and Hillary Swank both had the wrong dresses and the wrong hair. Women with such strong facial bone structure should wear deeper colors and less severe hairstyles (Hillary's dress when she won for Boys Don't Cry was perfect).

Liked Queen Latifah's "Move On" black dress lots and lots better than the blue one she was wearing in the seats.

Sean Connery: if you're going to wear the Bonnie Prince Charlie, for heaven's sake wear the kilt!

Julianne Moore for once was wearing a good color for her (after black at the GGs and ivory at the SAGs), and the dress was lovely, though the back view unfortunately showed off her square ass. LOVED her earrings.

A few women were wearing neutrals and looked good in them: Kate Hudson, Diane Lane, Halle Berry.

Kathy Bates and Meryl Streep both dressed up for once. Loved the color of Kathy Bates' dress; Meryl Streep's sleeves looked like an afterthought (but she had a fantastic necklace).

Thought Renee Z's dress was pretty, but she scares me. My friend (who would know) says Renee's sporting the telltale chipmunk cheeks of the longtime bulimic. You can really see what I'm talking about here: Same thing with Portia de Rossi and Calista Flockhart

This probably belongs over on the politics board, but it's more about the state of the state than politics.

You know, I can't wait until the demographics here finally change over, and attitudes about the state change dramatically. It's just a matter of time, and it's going to be great. Only half of the state is white, non-Hispanic, and the good ol boy network is going to have to work quickly to maintain dominance around here. The seventh grade state history teachers are having to explain why the Mexicans were the bad guys, and the Anglo Texans were the good guys.

I don't know that many Texans that wholeheartedly support the President, unless there's an economic reason to do so. (I do have to admit that the economy isn't as bad here as it is in other parts of the country.) The elder Bushes have set up camp here, but aside from the time my sister helped the fomer president pick out a cantalope in the grocery store under the watchful eye of the secret service, I don't feel like this is a town that's highly influenced by the President. I'm actually surprised by this, given some of my clients and the work that I do for them.

Maybe I'm overly critical of the President, and I surround myself of similarly thinking people, or maybe it's different out in the suburbs and in the country, and certainly this isn't Dallas (Houstonians hate Dallas), but I just don't feel like this is a place where the mob goes out and burns Dixie Chicks albums. I'm actually pretty sure that for every Dixie Chicks album burned or bulldozed or whatever, they're probably selling one or two.

Okay. What is with guys and blondes? What is with women and green/blue/hazel eyes? I am always totally confused when someone describes their type to me. Am I the only one who doesn't have a type?

I love all kinds of women. All colors. Different shapes (with good ratios, of course). Skin color, eye color and hair color is 100% irrelevant to me. Give me a girl with interesting looks over a bland blonde with a vacant stare any day.

Given, my choice of the perfect girl is somewhat homogenous (Halle isn't really exotic, after all), I may sound a bit hypocritical here. And when I go to Cali, it's fun to play with the barbies. But not as fun as summer in NYC. All flavors, all over. It's fucking great.

We used to call this the "blonde hair syndrome" in college. Dudes who thought that any chick, no matter how ugly her face, was hot because she had blonde hair.

Our measure of whether someone was really attractive was "would she look good bald?" (not that anyone looks good bald, but would her face/figure be appealing without the hair.)

Most blondes didn't make the cut. It really is true I guess, blondes have the edge!

I've never heard that before. Isn't it possible that they all have heart shaped faces? Seems kind of harsh to call people bulimic based on their face shapes. I'm friends with several petite women with roundish faces and thin bodies who are anything BUT bulimic...

Do you mean triangle shaped faces? Because heart shaped faces are by definition narrower through the cheeks. And it's not just the round face, it's the thick cheek flesh that (especially in Renee Z's case) makes their mouths work funny.

Anyway, like I said, my friend would know.

You know, I don't think this is that true anymore.

I can't think of a blonde that posters on this board consistently lust after.

I can't think of a blonde in Hollywood that gets all the parts. I can think of actresses who go blonde for certain roles. But really, who is THE hot blonde? Pamela Anderson? Please.

I think that it's a self-perpetuating stereotype. Guys think blondes are stupid and give them all the attention while they're out, thinking they can jedi-mind-trick them into bed. Blonde women with brains figure out that they get things by acting stupid and do so. Little blonde girls notice the attention from an early age, are also taught that they can use it to their advantage and don't study as much. They become stupid and/or act stupid and the cycle begins again.

My hair has been many different colours. When I was blonde I definitely got hit on more than I have when it was/is brunette or red. But maintaining blonde hair is a pain and I actually don't think I look very good as a blonde (all washed out).

Actually, it's from edema. From the near constant purging and use of laxatives, they tend to dehydrate themselves (loss of water and electrolytes). They then suffer from "rebound" water retention and swelling of the salivary glands. Once they revert to a normal diet, this swelling goes down (the exercise/health gurus are not kidding that drinking more water does not lead to bloating - it helps you get rid of toxins and balance your system). Sadly, when they see this swelling they see it as weight gain (well, fat gain) and most keep abusing laxatives and purging. That's why it may seem permanent, but it really can go away.

I've been all over the map too. I think I was hit on more as a brunette (current color) partially because I had the same washed-out issue as qwinky (I insist that only 1/4 or less of the people who dye their hair blond should be doing so based on complexion issues alone). Also I am more confident now, happy with myself, pulled together now than I was as a 20-something, so I think that contributes to the more-hit-on stat. fwiw.

The "dumbest" girl in my high school was actually a brunette. Drove me nuts because she was actually fairly bright, but because she was pretty and started getting attention from the boys she acted like her waist size was also her IQ.

I have never understood the whole dumb as an attractive trait thing. Why would a guy want a dumb girl? Yet, enough guys seem to be afraid of intelligent women to make it seem like it's an accurate stereotype.

Although I guess that I shouldn't complain -- it means I had less competition in wooing Mrs Not Bob, the poster girl for the "smart is sexy" movement.

Water and lust finds its own level.

Most guys are morons. They lust after girls who are morons.

Smart guys appreciate smart women. However, there aren't many smart guys out there (except on this board, natch).

Hence, the "conventional wisdom" has it that dumb girls are hotter than smart girls. Rather they're merely more attractive to the great unwashed masses than the smarties.

This is my theory, which is mine, which I created. My theory, which I wrote, is mine and was created by me . . .

Concur. The two most lusted-after women in my freshman dorm were (1.) incredibly cool bookish chick who went on to become Rhodes scholar; and (2.) busty bottle blonde --- did I mention she had a huge rack? --- who giggled a lot and whose intelligence level seemed positively bovine. Which one you favored was a pretty accurate litmus test of your own intelligence.

Since the residents of this particular dorm were in an honors program (i.e., nerd ghetto), the bovine blonde was probably faking, but she caused me to doubt when she asked me about a seminar reading assignment and admitted she simply didn't understand "Doss-a-tevksy." I wish she could have been coyly twisting her hair around her index finger, so I would've known for sure she was yanking my chain.

The thing that killed me about the Rhodes scholar was that she was from a rich family yet was nice as fuuuuuck and seemed genuinely to care about people. She had everything, and she gave no one the pleasure of hating her guts for it.

ONJ: she looks better now than in the Physical video. Since I suck at guessing, is she just aging really well or has there been work done?

Josh: I can't believe they all tthought he was great. I was literally flinching during that song. He just seemed to be trying too hard. His diction wasn't great and he seemed to have too much air supprot on the held notes making them seem very forced and piercing. The hat was lame.

Trenyce: She did well... chose some odd phrasing and I think breathed at some inopportune times, but she was better than I was expecting given the style. Good interpretation. I think she's been better before.

Kim L: OK. I disagreed that it was the best she's been and how great the song was. It just didn't do that much for me and I think it would have been better in a different key. But maybe I just still can't stand her b/c of the way overdone Over the Rainbow. In any event I wasn't excited.

Corey: My first thought: WTF is up with that shirt? Second thought: He still sucks. His change to his upper register was very abrupt. Randy and Paula liked it?!?!?

Carmen: "Y'all" doesn't sound natural coming from her. She was ok. Better than I thought she'd be. But it wouldn't shock me if she were in the bottom three. She always has an awkward-looking posture. Slightly off pitch in places. ZI don't know why Simon always talks about how great she is.

Rickey: He is sooooooooooooooo much better than Corey. And I still like him because he's a nice guy. I want him to go far (but he won't win).

Kim C: Pretty girl, but wtf was up with that outfit... the straps didn't look right and that hideous prairie-looking skirt. She was good, but she never sings anything with range. Every note she seems to sing is in about a 1.5 octave range.

Ruben: First few notes, I didn't think it was the right song... but he was great. He is infectious.

Julia: Once again... a bad key for her to sing in. Some weird stuff... bad breathing, and disturbing ornamentation. Better than before, though. I still hoe she gets the boot. I can decide it if I want her or Corey to get booted first.

Clay: Absolutely a phenomenal voice. Beautiful... but not really expressing the Country theme as well as some others. I don't care. I still love him!!!!!!!

Overall, the country theme sucked -- mostly because we had to hear Simon whine about it. It exploted the weaknesses in the "country singer" performers (Josh and Carmen -feh). The performers all looked uncomfortable -- except for Josh, who should have.

JoshThe head-bobbing made me nauseated. Or maybe it was his singing. I hated the performance.

Trenyce: She seemed to hate her performance. It was much better than her reaction to it. She is really terrific. And the dress was much better than some things she has worn.

Kim L: It was complete karaoke. She sucks. She cannot sing. She has a nice voice, but she lacks rhythm, so all her perfomances are just a little bit off.

Corey Now, I am not a singer, but I understand that his upper register is remarkable. But the man sucks ass. He cannot sing, he cannot hit notes. He just sucks. Sure a producer could fix his problems in the studio, but why bother. He sucks. Did I mention he sucks?

Carmen: Simon only hears dollar signs when she sings. He thinks he can slot her into the Mandy Moore, Jessica Simpson "Christian Hottie" spot. She's just not good. The backing vocals covered how off she was on the chorus.

Rickey: I love Rickey. I thought he did well, but I wasn't crazy about the song. I hope he goes far in the competition, but I don't see him getting into the top 3.

Kim C: I would have given her a 1 octave. The rest of SEC's criticism was completely accurate. She is such a stripper -- it makes me wonder where she dances in Houston.

Ruben: He is by far the class of the competition. "Sweet Home Alabama" was the perfect song for him to sing -- and they edited almost all the political stuff out of the part he sang. He was phenomenal.

Julia: She did a great job -- for her. I think she goes tomorrow, though Trenyce is in danger.

Clay: I know you feel the geek-love, but I just don't get it. He has a nice voice and he sings well. But there is no passion. No interest. It's all very lounge singer. When Ryan leaned over to whisper something to him at the end, I was waiting for them to kiss -- NTTAWWT.

Josh: okay we know you're country, but that was a bit much. Trying to out-Garth Garth with all the running around.

Trenyce: obviously she hated her performance, but she definitely didn't suck. Safe bet there will only be one "country-rock" week, so if she makes it through she's probably safe for a while.

Kim L.: She knows her strengths lie with the ballads, so this was a good song choice for her. Couple of pitchy spots but a confident and smooth performance.

Corey: Why on earth do they keep encouraging him to shriek? It must sound completely different in the studio. Good riddance to the braids.

Carmen: Obviously feels comfortable in the genre, but that can't fully compensate for odd vibrato and recurrent pitch problems. She must really like Martina McBride (also sang one of her songs in the wild card), but somebody should break it to her about the lack of crossover familiarity.

Rickey: Sounded underrehearsed (unfamiliar song?), but still a beautiful voice.

Kim C.: Still a one-note wonder. Shouter. Avoids her vibrato, probably because she recognizes it's too fast. Voice lacks suppleness or beauty.

Ruben: Wasn't that song originally about segregation etc.? Odd. But obviously he has a lot of home state pride. It was nice to hear him doing an up-tempo number, and nail it as always.

Julia: I still hate her. You know, one way to seem better than you are is to cover a song by a bad singer (did you see/hear Faith Hill at the Grammys?). She and her gummy smile just plain suck.

Clay: Simon was right, it was a lot like last week (minus the shaky breaky falsetto finish and the eyelid flutters). He had better start showing some versatility or he will be done.

Is my strenuous wishing for Julia to be gone having the opposite effect? I'm starting to wonder if she doesn't have a group of crazed fans pulling for her a la Nikki McKibbin. Seeing the last of Corey or Carmen wouldn't break my heart.

There is a new Google feature where anyone can obtain a map to your house just by typing in your phone number.

I don't like this sort of thing at all. The good thing is, I typed in my number and it popped up someone else's place - and now I have figured out why I keep getting calls for that guy.

I think it uses fairly old information since I moved almost a year ago and it has my name associated with my old phone number but my current number has someone else's name. Like you, now I know why I get calls and voicemail for some guy who is apparently Italian.

I didn't see any way to delete the information, regardless of whether it's accurate.

You know, if you combine the reality TV thread and the Google-lack-of-privacy thing, you learn that you can get all of Zora's info on the web, including driving directions. I'm pretty sure no one's gonna stalk me, but this seems like a stalker's dream. What good are the laws enacted in the wake of Rebecca Schaeffer's death if Google moots them?

I'd like to maintain the fiction that all blondes are hot so that there is a surplus of hot unattached brunettes and redheads.

Tell me more about this whole men with blue/green/hazel eyes?

So, while I was on vacation I got to see Ryan Sutter's junior high yearbook pics, and read his lengthy and heartfelt inscriptions to my sil. Very cute. One of them included his phone number--sil says she's tempted to call up his mom to say hello.

Watched Oscars Sunday at a friend's house. She has another friend who is dating an MBA reject. Said reject is an actor, and the scuttlebutt is that the fiance selections are completely and totally rigged (surprise surprise).

Just a few notes from the Oscars:

Had all those women already decided to wear black, or was there lots of last-minute scrambling for the last black dress in town as starlets scuttled their colored attire for something more somber? Of the presenters and nominees, I counted at least 8 in black (Cameron Diaz, Jennifer Connelly, Mira Sorvino, Julia Roberts, Geena Davis, Susan Sarandon, Barbra Streisand and Meryl Streep), with two more in colors that looked black on TV (Catherine Zeta-Jones in dark brown and Nicole Kidman in midnight blue).

Cameron Diaz looked better than she's looked in a while--no scary wide bony cleavage and great red lipstick. The hair was a bit stringy.

Jennifer Connelly needs eyebrow help. And her outfit just looked dowdy.

Jennifer Garner and Hillary Swank both had the wrong dresses and the wrong hair. Women with such strong facial bone structure should wear deeper colors and less severe hairstyles (Hillary's dress when she won for Boys Don't Cry was perfect).

Liked Queen Latifah's "Move On" black dress lots and lots better than the blue one she was wearing in the seats.

Sean Connery: if you're going to wear the Bonnie Prince Charlie, for heaven's sake wear the kilt!

Julianne Moore for once was wearing a good color for her (after black at the GGs and ivory at the SAGs), and the dress was lovely, though the back view unfortunately showed off her square ass. LOVED her earrings.

A few women were wearing neutrals and looked good in them: Kate Hudson, Diane Lane, Halle Berry.

Kathy Bates and Meryl Streep both dressed up for once. Loved the color of Kathy Bates' dress; Meryl Streep's sleeves looked like an afterthought (but she had a fantastic necklace).

Thought Renee Z's dress was pretty, but she scares me. My friend (who would know) says Renee's sporting the telltale chipmunk cheeks of the longtime bulimic. You can really see what I'm talking about here: Same thing with Portia de Rossi and Calista Flockhart

tm

Actually, it is anorexics, not bulimics (unless they are anorexic-bulimic) who have the chipmunk cheeks. I always called them "circleheads". It was always obvious on Calista, but I thought Portia (how awful are these names?) had a round face attributable to poor bone structure in her earlier days on Ally McBeal before she caught the anorexia. Allison from Melrose also dveloped the circle face after catching same disease from Calista.

I was perusing the Natuional Enquirer online yesterday- LFB is apparently a full on alcoholic after Jack dumped her. Her bone structure is as fabulous as ever. So I guess the circle face syndrome only happens to those predisposed to it- ie chicks with poor bone structure.

And I disagree that those with strong faces should not wear severe hairstyles. I think it is totally appropriate to and accents the strong features. Strong bone structure is a prereq for being the most beautiful and why not show it off? I think Jennifer Garner, whose shows I have never seen, is just gorgeous and it is all bc of her bone streucture. Same thing with the late great Carolyn Bessette, my personal style icon. Let those great bones show.

Yes, ONJ hjas had work done. Looks like a facelift to me. Has that plasticky quality of a Faye Dunaway but not as extreme. She is also a breast cancer survivor, btw

Josh: I am no country fan but he was pretty good. But how hard is it to copy Garth Brooks? I do a mean Friends In LOw Places after a couple of beers.

Trenyce: Really good, not her best but given the genre, it worked. I am worried that she did much worse than her usual and given the general goodness of last nght, she could be in bottomthree, but not that worried.

Kim L was at her best. But she might rethink wearing jeans. Not a good look on fat chicks.

Corey- took a shower and missed him. He sucke don the recap though/ Bottom three

Carmen- missed her too but I am sure she sucked and will be bottom three.

Kim C- trashy trashy looking chick. Good example of someone who should not be dying their hair blonde. But I do like her voice. Problem is that we already have a Melissa Etheridge.

Rickey- Did somebody castrate him? Not only does he have a weird, lite fm, dentist music singig voice, he talks like that.

Ruben- Just looking at this guy puts a huge grim on my face. I love him. He is the only person whose CD I would definitely buy, without knowing the genre. This guy is a star.

Julia- much better, but again, how hard is that song to sing. I hate her, teh way her face gets all faux sincere looking when she sings. She might not be bottom three (unless people aggregate all her performances).

Clay- How this guy is going to avoid the bottom three is beyond me. He is twenty going on sixty with a facelift. He sings the same ballady shit every week (and I thought that before Simon backed me ) and he still belongs opening up for Siegfried and Roy. WHich is a compliment. I am sure lots of gay youth from the middle of buttfuck nowhere who like to sing horrible ballads would love the gig. I think he belongs squarely in the bottom three. He just sucks and has no range. I am sure when he does disco, it will be a balld disco thing (assuming it isnt Its Raining Men), like If I cant have you.

All in all, I cant call the bottom three for sure but I will go with Corey bc there are a lot of black men here and he is the worst, Julia based on an aggregate of her past shit (but I still feel she might have enough comeback votes), Carmen (except that its her birthday so I dunno and this was probably her genre), Trenyce for going from outstanding to just very very good (only perosn who got worse) and Clay for doing the same old loungey shit. Too close to call.

EO: I agree that Kim C's range is only an octave. I originally typed that, but then decided to be generous.

As for Clay, while I absolutely love the vocal quality of his voice, I agree that last night didn't demonstrate an ability to be country-rock versatile. I was expecting him to suck at Motown too, but he was surprisingly good. I also grudgingly agree that he probably shouldn't win. He would really be astoundingly wonderful on Broadway, thoough... and would put out some amazing work on a cast recording.

Well, I could not find her exact quote. But it was reported to me to be something along the lines of the following: "I don't think celebrities should use their position to espouse political views. Now that we are at war, I think people should not question the president and should support our troops."

Let's put aside the issue of whether political dissent is appropriate in times of war - if you are idiotic enough to believe that it is not, there is no point in us wasting a cyber-second on the topic. Rather, I propose a little quiz. If the above is even close to an accurate rendition of Miss Texas' answer, then what do we call those two statements when taken together?

Okay. What is with guys and blondes?

I don't know. As was evident from my previous post, generally blondes are not the type of woman I would go for. It's just that when the five finalists on television, two in particular stood out. The girl from Texas and the girl from Michigan. The girl from Texas ruined it for me when she opened her mouth. She was a little too Babs Jensen for me.

There was another blonde from Alabama, I think, who didn't do it for me.
So, by default the one left who I felt was outstanding was a blonde, even though I generally don't go for them.

ThurgreedMarshall wrote:

You'd have to ask a woman, although, what can I say, chicks just generally dig me for my green/blue/hazel eyes. You're just jealous.

ThurgreedMarshall wrote:
I am always totally confused when someone describes their type to me. Am I the only one who doesn't have a type?

I don't know. All I can explain is the type I historically favor. It is probably a result of spending what I would consider my formative years going to school in the "Little Italy" section of the town where I grew up. When I got to the age where I actually started paying attention to women, the hottest ones were invariably the Italian girls. That's why I've always had sort of a weakness for women with dark hair, dark eyes and olive skin.

I recently visited into one of my best friends from high school. He runs a restaurant. He was having a conversation with a woman who fit this general description when I came in. After she left, he talked about how attractive she was. The funny thing was, when he talked about his SO (and I my wife) we both laughed about the fact that neither one of them fit the type we usually would go for, so there are notable exceptions to everything.

ThurgreedMarshall wrote:
I love all kinds of women. All colors. Different shapes (with good ratios, of course). Skin color, eye color and hair color is 100% irrelevant to me. Give me a girl with interesting looks over a bland blonde with a vacant stare any day.

And you disprove your rule by the exception. I love all kinds of women (but I prefer interesting looking women over bland blondes). Do you mean to imply that all blondes are vacuous barbie dolls? If I didn't know better, I'd start to think you were a hater.

Maybe you can think of it in terms of something else. This may be a bad analogy, but think of it in terms of ice cream. I like all kinds of ice cream, but I like some better than others. Given the choice between chocolate, vanilla or strawberry, I'd generally choose strawberry. I like them all, so sometimes, I'll buy Neapolitan Ice cream, so I can have some of each. Usually, the strawberry is consumed before the other flavors, but it doesn't mean I don't appreciate the others or throw the carton out once the strawberry is gone, it just means I have a preference for one flavor over another. That said, all of them are good.

That would be hard since my wife is blonde.

There are bland blondes and there are interesting looking blondes. The blonde you said was hot looked like the type of blonde that is consciously trying to achieve the barbie look. Those blondes are bland to me. Hmmmm. Sounds like a good new descriptive name. Blandes. I like it.

It's only what people think is your favorite word if Miss Texas actually considers herself a celebrity.

Your-purported-favorite-word-ically, she probably does. Maybe she was implicitly distinguishing between major or national celebrities (such as Michael Moore?) and minor or merely regional/state celebrities such as herself. In this case, if she were to win the pageant, she would be barred from speaking about the war again. Or perhaps her intended distinction was between ugly celebrities (Michael Moore, definitely, and perhaps Janeane Garofolo*) and, ahem, pretty celebrities. This seems more likely.

R P

* I do not mean to suggest that I think Janeane G. is ugly, but that Miss Texas might.

It's only what people think is your favorite word if Miss Texas actually considers herself a celebrity.

Puppy, you are right on the mark. This issue was debated last night, and it was determined that, unlike an actor, who does something (acting) and only becomes a celebrity when he or she becomes famous for doing that something, someone like Miss Texas is a celebrity by virtue of the fact that she does nothing other than seek celebrity status. There is nothing backing up her celebrity-ness. Whether she is an accomplished celebrity is certainly debatable, I concede that. But I would argue that she is, in fact, some type of celebrity, making her remarks coincidental, I mean, um . . . whatever.

Someone else wached "EdTV" last night. It was especially, um, coincidental, that Moore was part of the panel in that scene.

Does anybody else have a problem viewing the posts that follow those that contain pictures? Kelly Osbourne's motherjumpin huge head has blocked out virtually everything else on the screen, including Betty Boop's huge head.

I would not be surprised if I were alone, as the system I use during the day is not terribly conducive to this sort of thing. (No IM, no streaming audio or video, no fun.)

Get the URL from the Properties window (right click on the image; in this case you'll see "http://www.infirmation.com/file-storage/download/teabag.gif?version_id=9282"). Copy it (the URL) to the clipboard.

Make sure your e-mail program is set to send in HTML format. Choose whatever "insert image from file" option exists in your e-mail program; in Outlook using the Word e-mail editor, it's Insert -> Picture -> From File . . .. Now, instead of clicking on a file, paste the URL. The animation might not work in the preview, but it will probably work if your recipient's e-mail reader can read HTML too.

It's only what people think is your favorite word if Miss Texas actually considers herself a celebrity.

Alternatively, she does not consider what she said to be a political view. Frequently, people call statements they disagree with "political views" that shouldn't be aired in whatever situation, as they may offend someone. However, statements they agree with are non-offensive (to them) and thus appropriate in any situation and thus are not political views.

I hate those people. But not if they are blondes.

You're a funny guy, fringey. And I now realize that this sort of cognitive dissonance is why people who spewed venom about Bill Clinton's policies and peccadilloes from January 1993 to January 2001 (and beyond) are able to get all bent out of shape by the Dixie Chick's comments about Bush as being "unpatriotic." Slams of Bill by country singers are OK; slams of Dubya are not.

It almost makes me wonder what people would say if I had a bumper sticker that said "I love my country but I fear my government" or "Sarah Brady is *my* president."

Almost, because I know what they would say: "love it or leave it, pal." Their patriotic comments of 1998 are anti-American dissent in 2003.

Whoops. What was I thinking? Back to FB approved topics, it is.

Since I am Not Boobed (hahahaha!), I'll move on to hockey. Alas for the hopes of the elderly everywhere, it does not appear that the highly paid yet ancient in years Rangers will make the playoffs. This is quite a disappointment to me. Meanwhile, the Lightning and the Capitals have in the past few days clinched spots in the East, and the Mighty Ducks of Anaheim have done so in the West.

Speaking of this, let us pause a moment to consider the stunning fact that the Mighty Ducks of Anaheim (that is their official name, btw -- it's not the Anaheim Mighty Ducks) is perhaps the only franchise in history to be named after a movie starring Emilio Estevez. It's as if MLB created an expansion baseball team in 1976 named The Bad News Bears of Washington, or Charlotte, or something.

Except it's worse because the Bad News Bears was a good movie.

Maybe so, Mr. Smartypants. But the Brown Indians of St. Bonaventure University changed their mascot to "the Bonnies" in 1979. In 1988, Emilio Estevez starred in "Young Guns" as William H. Bonney. Coincidence? I think not.

When I was in college, we used to call such random and generally useless knowledge as "ass facts" (a fact pulled out of one's ass...).

I should have noted that the Ducks are the only *major league* sports franchise named after an Emilio flick -- minor league and semi-pro (and college, for that matter) teams do weird stuff with names, so I am not surprised about Newark.

Now, if they had named themselves the Newark St. Elmo's Fires ...

Wait until the end of the first trimester, when the risk of a miscarriage drops markedly. That's something you would only want to share with a few people. (Didn't know what to say when a partner told me about his wife's miscarriage.) And congratulations! Now you can start frequenting the LWK board.

No Google, technically. The St. Bonaventure name change was the subject of an e-mail exchange with a friend, because St. John's had changed their mascot from the "Redmen" around the same time . . . it's a long story. And I remembered Estevez played Billy the Kid, but had to IMDB for the movie's release year.

TexLex wrote:

Congratulations! My advice: Don't tell anyone for the first two months. Smile sweetly and claim a headache as you turn down every glass of wine. At two months, tell your parents only, so they'll feel very special. At three months, tell all your closest non-work friends, but tell them it's a secret. At four months, tell absolutely everyone, including your employer. Don't do this in phases because you'll wind up offending people (including your supervising partner) when they inevitably find out that someone found out before they did.

Unsolicited advice: Don't find out the sex of your child. The surprise you'll feel on the day of birth will strongly connect you with one of the only experiences in the birthing process that has remained unchanged over the entire course of human evolution. Don't throw that away lightly. Even if you do find out the sex --- and I cannot stress this strongly enough --- tell no one what names you're considering. Tell them you haven't decided yet, even if this is a lie. Everyone thinks they have a vote in this, and they will ruin any name you or your baby might have loved if you had kept your mouth shut.

Congrats! As for advice, I'd echo those who suggest that you wait until you get past that first trimester. And you should consider the name "Emilio Estevez Lex" for your son or daughter.

TexLex, I think it will be great if you can wait to tell work folks until you're showing. I didn't have that luxury--I was too nauseated to function normally and ended up having to 'fess up to explain my chronic inability to make it into the office before 11.

I totally disagree on the finding out the sex thing. I loved knowing (it was strange to think of creating something male inside my own body, though) and giving him a gendered gestational name (not one we would have considered actually using). My view is that there are plenty of other surprises, like coloring and personality, and knowing the sex ahead of time in no way detracted from the wonder and thrill.

Congratulations!

I have to disagree. It's not like you're "not surprised" the day you find out -- it's just a few months earlier! I don't understand why this always degenerates into such a polarizing issue -- the "you MUST find out" vs. the "you MAY NOT find out -- otherwise you're depriving yourself of your evolutionary history". Puh-leeze.

If this isn't the first baby, knowing the sex could make the baby more of a "person" to the existing sibling(s), which you may think is a good thing.

Do whatever you want -- there's no "right" or "wrong" answer. I don't understand why people get so worked up about it.

Now as for the advice about the name -- I could not agree more. Keep it to yourself. No one would dare say anything about the name you've chosen once it's on the birth certificate (well, maybe some rude person might...), but it's true what Atticus says -- for some reason, everyone thinks they have a say in the matter. Just don't tell anyone.

Oh -- and congratulations!!

Atticus - I like your posts very much these days. I no longer retch. In fact, I read them with glee. But I wonder if you are the type of person who tends to take things a little seriously. I would want to find out my baby's sex to think of all the fun girl or boy clothes I would make for them. And I would like to be heavily drugged during the birthing experience - screw the ancient birthing process connections.

I agree with all the advice about waiting till after the first trimester. But after that, do find out about maternity benefits & ways to maximize your time off work. If it were me, I'd wait till I was virtually in labor to take off work, then use all my time off to be with the li'l squidget.

I have big fat mouth, so my girlfriends that were close enough to know this might happen soon already know. (Long story short, this kid has been a long time in the making). My parents will find out this weekend, but be on strict orders to keep it to themselves. Mr. Lex' dad will find out when he gets a graduation announcement from the kid because no one wants to talk to him.

Everyone knows I can't drink anyway, so that's not an issue. I agree with the not finding out the sex bit - not sure Mr. Lex will agree. If we do find out, I would prefer to keep it to ourselves. I wholly agree with the name thing - I have seen potential names go down the toilet due to comments. (OTOH, I have seen many babies saved from hideous names in the same way, but of course I have perfect taste in babies names and will not force my child to carry around such an embarrasing name). When my SIL announced the name of her (just born) baby, my other (bitch) SIL responded, "You're not really going to call him that, right?"

Thanks for the advice,

Wait--I thought you were pretty set on not having kids. Am I confusing you with someone else? In any case, my fingers are duly crossed.

Oh, and one other thing I forgot to put in my earlier post, I think it's a better idea if you not only don't tell other people the name, don't fully decide on a name before the child is actually born. Some kids have definite personalities from the moment they emerge, and if you are already set on a name it will take you that much longer to let it go and come up with something that really fits (as in the case of my nephew who was nameless for about 10 days after the chosen name just didn't work).

I haven't ever been pregnant, but I did recently have to be the bearer of bad news after a friend miscarried in the first month of pregnancy and she had told all of our friends. I now fully understand why people wait until the second trimester to let others know about pregnancy.

Thanks! Unfortunately, there are no maternity benefits other than what is forced on them (unwillingly) by the FMLA - and since I am the only person at this office who does civil litigation, it is possible that I could be considered some sort of "key employee" exempt from the FMLA (not my area, but I seem to recall something about this) - however I doubt they would be willing to test that out anyway. We have no paid leave at all. The last girl had to come back after 5 weeks because she couldn't afford not to. I do not plan to be here in 7.5 months if I can help it, but that's a whole different story.

I've never removed anyone from my Christmas card list just because they hunted for penis on a sonogram. It's not really that big a deal. I'm being strident on this point only because there's unfair pressure on couples these days in one direction but not the other. "You didn't want to know?" Of course I want to know, dumbshit. But I want to find out what I got from Santa on Christmas. Is that so crazy?

Of course, there are good reasons for both, but the traditional-surprises-are-good camp doesn't do a good job getting the word out about the great feeling when the doc/midwife is able to say "It's a girl" as she's handing her to you. "Congratulations, meet Zoe" doesn't do it for me personally. YMMV.

I'm the first to admit that when it comes to natural childbirth, all men are talking out of their asses. So I offer no opinion about drugs/no drugs outside my own family, other than to say that many women I've met are justifiably proud that they found they were capable of more than they had thought --- like those who glow after running a marathon when they thought they couldn't do it. But, again, that's coming out of my ass.

Sluts.

Seriously, congrats TexLex and good luck GWNC.

We informed parents/siblings at two months and everyone else, including work, at three months.

For our first kid, we did not learn the child's sex before birth. It was pretty cool to be surprised.

We will also not find out for kid #2. Kid #2 will be a planned C-section. Thus, we will be losing out on that whole "water-breaking in the middle of the night, hurry to hospital" thing, which was pretty fun the first time. So, by not knowning the sex, at least something will be a surprise.

But keep in mind that many employers allow disability -- which enables you to take time off before the baby is born (most ob's will happily write you a note -- or whatever -- to certify that you shouldn't be working past week x), and that time doesn't count against your parental leave.

At least that's how it was at every place I've worked when I had a kid. And my current firm (where I was employed when I had my most recent child) is incredibly, uh.... how should I say.... parsimonious? with leave.

Also, load up on the untaken vacation days and add those on too. Maternity leave ROCKS!!!

That's awful, and they suck. I hope you're able to find a more humane employer AND spend plenty of time with the nugget. (BTW, if you're in fact a key employee, maybe you can leverage your indispensability into some sort of acceptable arrangement in re leave?)

Congrats TL! As for the key employee part of the FMLA, it would only apply to you if you were among the highest paid 10% of all the employees at your firm. Check out the Reg at http://www.dol.gov/dol/allcfr/ESA/Ti...CFR825.217.htm

Thanks - that helps. But what about the 75 miles thingy? "[eligible employee] Is employed at a worksite where 50 or more employees are employed by the employer within 75 miles of that worksite." I am in a branch office with few employees - main office is more than 75 miles away. Am I noneligible? Or does it mean that the main office needs 50+ EEs within 75 miles?

Concur. That part about going to the emergency room immediately if you don't feel a kick for ten minutes is fucking diabolical. A more maleficent pregnancy book there is not.

Congratulations! My advice: Don't tell anyone for the first two months. Smile sweetly and claim a headache as you turn down every glass of wine. At two months, tell your parents only, so they'll feel very special. At three months, tell all your closest non-work friends, but tell them it's a secret. At four months, tell absolutely everyone, including your employer. Don't do this in phases because you'll wind up offending people (including your supervising partner) when they inevitably find out that someone found out before they did.

This is truly excellent advice; the timing on everything is just about right (though I might tell parents and our own siblings just a touch sooner). If you have any issues at work (including a preponderance of assholes who will be anything but elated at your good fortune) and aren't (if of female persuasion) showing too obviously, you can also delay longer at work.

I couldn't agree more. For an alternative, I like the Sears books (The Baby Book, The Pregnancy Book, The Labor Book, The Breastfeeding Book--no I don't have all these), but YMMV (be sure to get the latest editions to avoid the most militant babywearing/cosleeping stuff).

Well, the law and regs state that there is coverage only when there are 50 or more employees working for the employer within a 75 mile radius. The reality though, is that if the main office of your firm grants fmla leave, I doubt that they would not give the same benefits to a smaller branch office.

Congrats and Good Luck to Tex Lex and Gwinky. Fingers crossed!

Now I'm getting verklempt. This is precisely the reason that I don't read the Mom & Dad board too often. When I do, I have to fight the urge to run home and attempt to conceive. This is even after reading the "Help I've been up all night with constipated crying baby" posts. My nurturing instinct is so strong that I want to go over to Viet Mom's house and walk the baby (and straighten out her nanny's attendance problems).

Ditto on both counts.

Also, you should know that sonograms can be WRONG WRONG WRONG. We were inadvertantly told incorrect information (we'd asked not to know, but they let slip anyway) and ended up with a lot of surplus blue things (and a beautiful baby!).

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

My hottie high school Spanish teacher announced she was pregnant ("Clase, yo estoy embarazada") when I was a senior. She was so proud of every little detail of her pregnancy that she brought in a videotape of her sonogram to show the class. We watched it in a darkened room as part of a refresher lesson on anatomy vocab.

"Aquí están los brazos de mi bebé. Aquí está su cabeza --- estos son sus ojos. Ooooh, clase, es su mano pequeño!"

"Profesora, cómo sabe usted su bebé es una chica?"

"Porque aquí está su clitoris."

[Silence.]

I'm still pissed off that the very short list of clitorises I have seen in my life includes that goddamn fetus.

No error message. The page would simply never load. On the toolbar, it would say "contacting host digikitten.com" ... endlessly. Since digikitten stores avatars, my guess is that the pictures on those pages had something to do with it. I only have Netscape at work, the version has not been upgraded in a very long time, and I cannot download anything. It is for lack of a better word just poopy.

Oh, by the way, the first time I had trouble loading the page, at one point it said "contacting host bbbboy.net." WTF?

How do you notice with that nose in the way? But his speech was great. Totally the tactful way to make the point without being an ass.

In the ass category, there is Moore, making a similar point. But at the same time, you knew he was going to do it - at least he is consistant. I at least respect him for speaking his mind rather than deferring to groupthink. And while there was a substantial minority actively, and loudly, booing, I wouldn't say he was booed off the stage. Although he was musiced off.

In other news, Connolly looked good with a little more weight, while Kidman looked bad having gone too skinny.

At the risk of an inappropriate topic (and feel free to delete if so), lets say one is feeling the urge to do one's part to help rebuild, and relieve sufering in, Iraq or even Afghanistan. Anyone have recommendations of good charities? There seems to be reason to question the Red Cross and I don't know enough about the politics of Oxfam. There is a definite preference for non-religious organizations.

Nice to see you made it over here, Adder. I think this topic is perfectly acceptable.

The only charity I have heard doing anything is the Red Cross. I know Middle Eastern countries have the Red Crescent organization as well.

I too was glad to see Julia go. The timing of Kim Cs tears confused me too... it didn't seem to be related to the song, like Kim L's at the beginning. I think it's b/c her thing is to be the one eho fake cares... like last week how she was the one up dancing with Charles... she likes to pretend to be the one who cares to get attention for herself.

Try Doctors without Borders as one possibility. They have one of the best reputations among relief organizations.

That was just plain bizarre. I can't help but think something else had to be going on, for her to break down like that. It can't be entirely explained by relief at not being eliminated or sadness to see Julia go (though Julia certainly seemed to be popular among her fellow finalists--Kim C's were not the only tears, and Clay kept kissing her temple). I also am not sure it will win her much sympathy from the American public--she looked awful and it was weird.

And what was up with Rickey being in the bottom three instead of Corey!!?!?

I wouldn't put it past Fox to jigger with the results a little to maintain gender and (insofar as possible) ethnic balance as long as they can. I predict/hope Corey will go next.

I thought you did not want children? But it sounds like you do, so I will cross my fingers for you. Just one favor in exchange, and I know its premature, but if it is a girl, dont name her Caitlin or Tiffany and if its a boy, please skip Dylan and Brandon.

So, Julia went home.

Finally.

She looked like she hated being there.

Kim C's reaction was a little strange. Anyone have any idea whether she was so upset that Julia went home . . . or that she forgot to wear waterproof eyemakeup.

Even(yikes!)Odds

I too was glad to see Julia go. The timing of Kim Cs tears confused me too... it didn't seem to be related to the song, like Kim L's at the beginning. I think it's b/c her thing is to be the one eho fake cares... like last week how she was the one up dancing with Charles... she likes to pretend to be the one who cares to get attention for herself.

Adios Julia. So sorry to see your back flab, no talent, cruise ship singing act go back to the world of shampooing in BF, CT. If this experience has taught you anything it shoudl be that you should not be deluded into thinking that this is the beginning of your "career". It is the end. America does not enjoy watching or listening to you, and it is only bc the Kelly Osbource wannabe and the Albino Will Smith with the stupid hats were around that you even made it this far.

Kim C is the worst camera hog I have ever seen. I recall tha twhen she did not win top two on that show that gave us Julia and ALbino Will Smith, she still grabbed the microphone as the show ended and sang as if she won. Like she knew she was gonna be secure in a wildcard spot. She is a flaming asshole. I think she was crying bc her co-flaming asshole, the other microphone hogging, trashy, faux sincere wench, Julia aws a rival for whoring herself for the undeserved camera time. They probably had some kind of asshole rivalry that was apparently resolved this week by the mutual fawning contest over the not so hot performances from Tueday. Perhaps they formed some sort of coalition to make eachother look good since they both knew that next to Trenyce and Kim L, they just cannot sing. After this alliance was formed, Julia was unceremoniously dumped, so little Kimmy drugstore mascara started crying. That and she was relieved to have not lost, but was sad to realize that what she thought all along was true, that she sucked enough to be bottom two and America thought the other piece of trash, Carmen, was cuter.

This should get more interesting as there is not a clear Sucks the Most anymore with Julia gone. Carmen and Caldwell can duke it out for the token trashy looking blonde with middling talent spot (though I dont think Caldwell is that bad, but apparently everyone else does). Latrell will still be the worst black guy and should go after the worst of the two trashy blondes, but apparently I am not alone in thining that Rickey with an e sounds castrated, lite fmy and weird. Clay should handily be bottom three but apparently seems to be liked enough to come in third or fourth. SO the battle for suckioest over the next two weeks should be interesting.

Should go:

Carmen or Kim
Spree (unless Rickey keeps soundeing weird)
Carmen or Kim
Rickey
Kim L- lovely voice an beautiful face, but fat and not in a cuddly Rubenesque way, and is no trenyce
Josh (but should be Clay)
Clay who is lucky that not all girls have gaydar and that there are plenty of ballad loving gay men everywhere
Trenyce
Ruben stands alone.

Try Doctors without Borders as one possibility. They have one of the best reputations among relief organizations.

Sears isn't bad. There's also a series of books called "The Girlfriend's Guide to _______" (e.g., pregnancy, infants, toddlers). It's a bit different because of its irreverence and humor that's sorely lacking from so many of these "experts" whose self-importance is so inflated that they think they shit marble.

Then again, I'm an advocate of buying a variety of such books, reading them, absorbing what makes sense, then burning all of the goddamned things and stumbling through with what you believe to be right.

Good luck, gwinky.

Yes. Send it to me.

Try selling it on eBay. You may get interest from a vintage clothing store which will give you a decent price for it.

Did anybody else watch The Bachelor last night?

Why are all the women such losers? (aside from the obvious). Not a single professional in the whole lot. Mostly students, unemployed people,and people with made-up jobs like "mansion caretaker" and "child development specialist" (um, just put "nanny", ok?). Even Joe Millionaire had a freaking doctor for gods sake! And not a single lawyer or even a stewardess (excuse me, flight attendant). What is up with that? And they couldn't even get any pageant WINNERS this time (last one had a Miss Idaho and a Miss Texas) -- they had to settle for a "finalist" in the Miss Tennessee pageant or some such crap. The women are attractive for the most part, but aren't there attractive women out there who actually managed to graduate from college?

Does this mean that they are intentionally choosing stupider women, or that smart, professional women are actually smart enough not to audition?

Your response is humorous, considering your avatar. Which bugs the shit out of me, btw, not that you probably care. That cartoon is doing serious damage to her back by not wearing more support and she is going to look like she's carting around a couple of sandbags on her chest by the time she's 30.

I didn't watch the Bachelor, but I did look for a minute through the Bachelorettes' profiles on abc.com. It's a good thing none of the men on this show actually go through with the whole marriage thing so there isn't too much of a real threat, but it makes me squemish to see 21 year old women talk about needing to settle down. How about live a little?

I drifted in and out of it. I agree. We were watching, and decided that none of them would win (even though that's not possible).

The worst was the woman who said she wanted to find the "father of her children." If they played that tape for Firestone, she'd be cut before stepping out of the limo. Many of the others weren't far off from that.

Did anyone find a disturbing resemblance between "Jen" (I think) and bondage-sarah from Joe Millionaire?

And what's with Firestone? He looked like a drunk frat boy at a strip club -- sort of sitting there taking it all in, through slitty eyes, with a goofy grin on his face. I just had the feeling that that edited out the moments when he started pulling out dollar bills and stuffing them in the girls' pants.

Wednesday nights are rough... After Survivor, I was flipping in between AI and Bachelor. I couldn't really watch much of it because the screening procees... how we picked our bachelor, etc... didn't really interest me. When they started showing the girls, I almost puked. The "I want to get married and I want that ring and he's going to know I'm the one, but if he doesn't notice how great I am, Daddy can you walk me down the aisle in a white dress so I can feel pretty I mean it so much I am crying" attitude made me sick. So I switched over to sorority life.

SL: Maggie is the biggest bitch ever. When she kept repeating "Are you threatening me?" I can't have been the only one who was hearing it a la Beavis. I can't see how Brooke will finish pledging. I suppose the thing I thought was most weird was how Nicole was so worried about her relationship with that guy, to the point of being obsessed... I jept thinking... Dude, you've been on ONE DATE!!!! I suppose all the vandalism was in good fun, but in college, my atgtitude would have been mor like Brooke... I'm tired and this is stupid and we already have too much sorority BS, so I'll buy the effin brick at Home Depot.

During SL, I also had to flip back to South Park, Timmy as a Crip, busting some punk-ass Bloods cracked me up... Bachelor was out of the lineup...

FL: The part where the other pledges were imitating the calls btwn Alex and Lindsay was hilarious. As was the paper towel toga. It appeared that one of the more psycho co-dependent relationships I have witnessed on reality TV may have ended. It was weird though. I swear I never saw BS like that in college. If Alex endsd up less whipped because of this, then the whole pledging thing may have been good for him

He is, without a doubt, a scuzzoid who is only in this to hook up with as many women as possible (duh).

He was probably like, "that chump Alex only kissed 7 women, and Aaron only macked on 11 women, I can do better than those losers --Sigma Nu RULZZZZZ!!!!!"

I thought the scariest woman was the one who was sitting in her father's lap and crying (real tears, people) that she just wanted her father to walk her down the aisle and see her married off, and even if she didn't get married, she still wanted her father to walk her down the aisle of the church. Oh, and the girl who said she wanted someone EXACTLY like her father (unless your father is sleazy womanizer with a tongue that exercises more than Jane Fonda, then you are shit out of luck, darlin').

What I don't get is why women think that a decent-looking heir to an empire who can't get a date on his own without a network setting it up is a good catch. Something major has to wrong with him. And why again is an appealing personality trait to a woman for a guy to let his money buy him a harem of bimbos to sort through?

Oh and congrats TL and best of luck GWINKY. And I hope you politely lay down the law with your partners that, as you are the ones who has to go through pregnancy and labor to get the little squawkers out, they are the ones who get to walk the kid around when it's crying at 3 in the morning.

In an earlier post, I mentioned Carol Smillie, the host of the BBC show Changing Rooms. Someone asked me to post a picture of her. Now that I've figured out how to do that, here she is...

Her BBC bio contains an article that mentions she used to be a topless model. In the US, she'd probably making every effort to hide that fact.

Seems like every woman on this board is getting pregnant. Congrats to all.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

MR: "I'll take door number 2."

Given your nickname, it figures.

w/r/t AI males, Ruuuuuuuuben is by far the most engaging -- and coolest -- male singer on the show. Second choice is Josh. I could care whether or not Clay sets off gaydar; I simply find his voice "ehh." Kind of a Disney voice-over voice, not terribly inspiring. Corey has boy-band written all over him, and is more marketable than Rickey, whom I consider too "soft" (and the side profile of him with furrowed brow and jutting chin standing near the school buildings as the sun sets makes him look like a highr-level functioning Down's Syndrome adult).

w/r/t AI females, Trenyce has a great voice/presence, but she picked a horrid song and she mumbled through it. She could make it to the final round of three (with either Rueben/Josh or Rueben/Kim L.). Kim L. has a good sound and looks aren't that important (e.g., Tracey Chapman has a less-than-perfect physique, sounds sounds great, and has good album sales).

Kim C. has very limited range but is great to look at. I wouldn't rush out to buy her album (Pictures, maybe. Album, nope).

Carmen is just too annoying. I remarked to Kafka-ette that Carmen's facial structure and lip/teeth shape reminds me of Chelsea Clinton, a not-impressive visage. Moreover, her voice has not matured. She could use some more practice.

Me (Eschewing codes in posts): That is precisely the deal that I initiated and negotiated (willingly). If Kafka-ette can shoulder the burden during the day, the least I can do is take the night shift. So far, I've got the better end of the deal, because kafka-tot has slept through the night for quite some time.

Honey, the only way I am gonna get pregnant is if I make special arrangements.

You offering? If so, are you a good speciman of a man? I am very picky as to who gets to put his sperm in my turkey baster.

Me (Eschewing codes in posts): That is precisely the deal that I initiated and negotiated (willingly). If Kafka-ette can shoulder the burden during the day, the least I can do is take the night shift. So far, I've got the better end of the deal, because kafka-tot has slept through the night for quite some time.

Dude,

Good onya, although this strikes me as a default position, not one that's the result of hefty negotiation. (From whence did you start in order to reach this pinnacle?)

Because Gatti-Jr. #1 took a loooooong time before sleeping through the night, it is with some trepidation that I await #2.

Now, Leagl, you know that these things aren't supposed to be entertained on an ad hoc basis. As agreed long before, when you're ready for this little venture, we will institute the Official FBMan Bake-Off 2003(tm).

Well, it depends on how you choose to organize the Bake-Off(tm). My general observation is that the more you conceal the truth of the latter, the more success you're likely to have with the former.

Good move. If you're having a girl and everyone knows you're having a girl beforehand, you will be bombarded with overly girlie, cutsie, pink crap. If you're having a boy and everyone knows you're having a boy beforehand, you will be bombarded with blue clothes with various sports themes (mostly baseball). Don't people realize that (i) everyone else bought the exact same thing and (ii) blue and pink aren't the only two colors? Good God.

Word. Plus, if you keep the baby's sex a secret, you get to double dip, because your friends and family will stretch to find non-gender-specific gifts to give you at your various baby showers, and then once the baby is born they'll unleash a whole new round of tacky masculine or feminine clothes they've been dying to buy, which you can return for tasteful things you really need, like 2,000 plain white onesies.

Trust me, I've seen it happen, and it works like a charm.

I hate pink. Blue not so bad, but this is my thinking also. Plus, if family history is anything - I will probably have a gigantic fattie of a baby and the clothes won't fit anyway.

Don't necessarily blame the giver. Do you know how much f@#$%g work I have to put in to buy my friends girl stuff that *isn't* pink frilly lacy sparkly drag-queen crap? Or boy clothes that aren't already hell-bent on brainwashing them into tomorrow's lunkhead high-school football quarterback or monster-truck driver? It takes hours! Most people just don't have the damn time to find stuff that doesn't suck.

Good move. If you're having raging hormones like my wife, then you will care about this thread and hang on it's every word. Don't people realize that (i) everyone else doesn't realize that I can't be reasoned with now (ii) blue and pink are for people like CtD who don't really care enough to take time out of their busy lives to put thought into a gift that you will only use for a month before your offspring outgrows it so he will choose the easiest and most non-offensive color.

TM

Don't necessarily blame the giver. Do you know how much f@#$%g work I have to put in to buy my friends girl stuff that *isn't* pink frilly lacy sparkly drag-queen crap? I wish I could an incosiderate prick like CtD and just give a gift certificate.

Shouldn't this stuff go on the new Estrogen board? Here is some new-baby advice for the childless friends.

1) look at baby and force a smile--on yourself, not the baby.
2) say: "Ohhhh, it is so 'cute', it has your [least offensive feature] and the husband's [least offensive feature]." Do NOT say that it has the "father's" features, b/c you never know who the real father is and mentioning this can cause tension.
3) while in the apartment drop your empty class and, a few minutes later, something else in a very clumsy fashion. This will keep the parents from asking you to hold their new poop machine.
4) if step 3 doesn't work and they insist on handing you their child, say something odd like "I'm allergic" or "no thanks, I just ate". This will usually make the maternal protectiveness kick in and they will put the child somewhere else.

I have no idea whether she is gay or not (irrelevant to her sexiness, IMHO), but google certainly revealed the fact that she was, indeed, a model in a former life, and posed with little or no clothing.

Maybe he's married but not straight (or at least not completely straight). If only he was married to an Asian woman, so we could be sure... I remember the Changing Rooms episode where they redid two churches. LLB made some quip about how, back in the day, he would have been burned at the stake by the people in this building.

The Vegas episode was the one with the brown walls? I thought she was more play-whacking her friend than actually going for blood. If she didn't like brown, she should have written that down as her absolute 'no-no' on the form they have you fill out. And she also should've stopped acting like an ungrateful bitch because, as she asked to do, she did get to be on TV and have a designer do her room for free knowing that the outcome might not be her dream room.

Apparently Charlie was really searching for love or wanted to be on tv really badly. The Blind Date was shot before Bachelorette.

LLB's official website has a picture, but I can't link directly to it because it's a Shockwave site. She's Anglo. Looks like a bottle blonde to me. The mystery continues . . . .

As for the TS woman with the brown walls, the credits sequence where she's waling on her friend looked jocular enough. But she looked genuinely pissed as she walked off camera. I bet Laurie cried herself to sleep that night. Serves her right for laughing at the husband's mullet. We in the service industries know you don't fuck with the client; it's bad karma if nothing else.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Why do parents, such as one's relatives or one's friends, cheerfully and sincerely ask if others would like to change their baby as if that would be some kind of privilege? (I'm talking about actual offers, not friendly jokes here.) I don't plan on having my own baby to scrape up after; much less do I want to wipe the stinking dripping butt of someone else's.

What kind of response are parents expecting? Is this supposed to be a bonding ritual between baby and aunt/grownup? A break for the parent from the unpleasant part of parenting by passing the kid off to someone you think won't say no (understandable)? Unwanted vocational training? And why does no one ask the Mr., as if I alone had some sort of dirty-diaper-loving gene?

Much appreciated. Because if I have to say a smiling 'no thanks' as if I actually appreciated the offer one more time, instead of showing my surprise and repulsion at being asked, I'm gonna shriek. Or hurl--I have a pretty sensitive nose.

What I can't figure out is why anyone coming into a house with children as incredible as ours wouldn't want to (a) fawn all over them in every way; (b) spend lots of time entertaining them while the elder Greedies sneak upstairs; (c) change their diapers and feed them, both because these visitors are friends who want us to have a break and because like all normal people they have overwhelming parental urges which, due to their sorry state of childlessness, are unsatisfied and gnawing away at them.

And, if they seek to deny these urges by, say, smiling and saying no thanks, it really is incumbent on us to help them get in touch with their inner parentness by forcing kid poop on them.

Now, granted, it may be that this perspective on the world is caused by my near catatonic state from being perpetually sleep deprived, or from the incredible surges of parental pride (may be hormonal) resulting from having perfect children, but this really is my world. Does understanding this help?

I think all the women are so unaccomplished on the Bachelor because they are young. I didn't catch how old the Bachelor is but I think he's younger than all the other candidates. Since I massively overslept yesterday I caught him on Regis & Tony Danza, what's up with the his hair gelled into a fake mohawk?

Besides, Trent(?) the attorney from Denver was waaay cuter. Trent if you read the board PM me!

Lastly, How has this blog never been brought to our attention. French food & Buffy. I have been hopelessly trying to catch up since I found out about it. http://blogs.salon.com/0001399/2002/08/25.html

I know nothing about this woman but I can say with certainty that she is gay.

Her husband and three children might disagree. Maybe you have Carol confused with Laura, one of the new designers on the show...

Jack Manfred

Then lets put Carol in the DeeDee Myers/Mary Carillo category o f "They're straight? No way".

And by the way, that second gal is what my mental image of leagl is , except that leagl has longer curlier hair. I of cours ehav eno idea what leagl looks like so this cant be outable, its just what I imagine her to look like for some reason. Kind of like how I picture bilmore to look like bennyhill.

What I can't figure out is why anyone coming into a house with children as incredible as ours wouldn't want to (a) fawn all over them in every way; (b) spend lots of time entertaining them while the elder Greedies sneak upstairs; (c) change their diapers and feed them, both because these visitors are friends who want us to have a break and because like all normal people they have overwhelming parental urges which, due to their sorry state of childlessness, are unsatisfied and gnawing away at them.

And, if they seek to deny these urges by, say, smiling and saying no thanks, it really is incumbent on us to help them get in touch with their inner parentness by forcing kid poop on them.

Now, granted, it may be that this perspective on the world is caused by my near catatonic state from being perpetually sleep deprived, or from the incredible surges of parental pride (may be hormonal) resulting from having perfect children, but this really is my world. Does understanding this help?

No. I'm more confused than ever. Your children are surely perfect. (Though honestly I don't have much interest in 'em until they're really sentient, say about age 3.) But I'm even more convinecd when they're not pooping or spitting up on me.

Isn't the sneaking away thing why God invented babysitters? (Trust me when I say they're better off with some dopey 13 year old than with me.)

Who's the mack?
is it some nigga wit' a big hat
Thinking he can get any bitch wit' a good rap?
Rolling in a fucked-up Lincoln
Leaning to the side so it looks like he's sinking
Into that leopard interior
This nigga thinks every girl's inferior
To his tongue, get a dumb bitch sprung
As she's selling more butt
Don't even get a cut
of the money
His name is Sonny
And he know the play
And hope to God that he don't find a runaway
That's looking to become a star
He'll have your ass in and out of every car
With every on and Rick, sucking every joooohn's dick
Come short of the money, get your ass kicked
You don't like it but you still call him hunk
Last night the nigga put yo' ass in the trunk
You wanna leave but Sonny started talking fast
And it make you wanna go and sell more ass
He's getting rich, you his bitch and it's like that
Now ask yourself
Who's the mack?

Who's the mack?
It is that fool that wanna pump the gas
Give you a sad story and you give him cash?
He starts macking and macking and you sucking
He's quick to say I'm down on my luck an'
you give a dollar or a quarter and he's on his way
Then you see his sorry ass the next day
Are you the one getting played like a sucka?
Or do you say, "Get a job, motherfucker"?
Every day, the story gets better
He's wearing dirty pants and a funky-assed sweater
He claims he wants to get something to eat
But every day you find yourself getting beat
He gets your money and run across the street
don't look both ways
'cause he's in a daze
And almost get his ass hit for the crack
Now ask yourself
Who's the mack?

Who's the Mack?
Is it that nigga in the club asking,
"Have you ever been in a hot tub?"
I know the game so I watch it unfold
When i see the boy pinned to your earlobe
He's talking shit and you crack a smile
When he tell you that he can go buck wild
For a girl like you and make it feel good
You know it's drama but it sound real good
He started dragging and hopefully he can start tagging
The pussy so he can keep bragging
He say, "I'm 'a leave, baby, can you go with me?"
You wanna do it but you feeling like a H-O-E
You grab his hand, you leave and it's over
'Cause the nigga ain't nothing but a rover
Ya knew the game and you still ended up on your back
Now ask yourself
Who's the Mack?

Macking is the game and everybody's playing
And as long as you believe what they saying
Consider them a M.A.C.K. and with no delay
They are gonna get all the play
But when it comes to me, save the drama for your momma
It's Ice Cube and you know that I'm a
Mack in my own right
When it comes to rhyme and rap
'cause all i do is kick facts
Unlike Iceberg Slimm
And all of them be claimin' be P.I.M.P.
No, I'm not going out that way
I'm just a straight up N I double G A
Next time U get over on a fool
And you did the shit like real smooth
Thank Ice Cube for giving up the facts
And ask yourself
Who's the Mack?

My point merely is that you should assume the parents are, for a variety of reasons, half out of their minds and essentially on drugs and really don't know what they're doing. I think part of why recreational pharmaceuticals are popular among teens is that they prepare them for parenthood. And opportunities to sneak upstairs are sufficiently rare so that all of them should be taken.

Finally, are you saying my kids' poops aren't perfect?

Most people just don't have the damn time to find stuff that doesn't suck.

Don't be ridiculous. There are millions of things to buy for a baby. Girls can where blue (and any other color). Boys look silly in pink, but you don't have to buy him blue. Whenever I go to buy one thing in a baby store, I walk out with like 50 pieces of clothing.

I found one way of getting around the tacky gendered clothing problem. When one of my friends told me she wanted to throw me a shower, I told her to have everyone bring their favorite children's book. That way there was something for every budget, nothing with obnoxious trucks on it, and an amazing variety of wonderful books (no duplicates, even with 15 or so people in attendance).

OK, this is disturbing: The Treasury Department is talking about changing the color of money:

http://www.bankersonline.com/securit...ewmoney03.html

The article says the announcement is due today, but I read elsewhere it's been pushed back to June. Maybe to deal with the inevitable mass hysteria.

I've always thought this is a great idea, if the Treasury goes to the logical next step. Different colored denominations are so much easier to distinguish and count --- the Europeans got this one right ages ago. I wouldn't adopt different sizes, but having all denominations in the same color is just a throwback to days when it wasn't technically feasible to do anything different.

Then again, I've felt for a long time that the American aversion to dollar coins --- at the same time we have this rEcockulous sentimental attachment to the penny (the goddamn penny!) --- is costing the country money. So maybe I'm a weirdo.

Oh no! And we have to keep the penny too. Think of all the great things we'd lose:
Charming little rhymes: "See a penny/pick it up/and all day long/you'll have good luck" It doesn't work with a dime dammit!
Tourist tchotkes: those machines that squish your penny into a piece of copper with say an aquarium logo and a penguin will be gone forever
Slang: "I Left My Wallet in El Segundo" will be meaningless to future generations: "Shaheed had me covered with a hundred greenbacks" will make no sense to anyone
Monopoly Money: will no longer look fake enough and they'll have to make it all one (ugly, surely) color instead

Oh, the humanity!

I think my Changing Rooms gaydar is being hopelessly jammed by Laurence Llewelyn-Bowen. There's no way that guy's straight. And yet, he is.

On the other side of the pond, I'm deeply skeptical of Frank Bielec's claims regarding his matrimonial status. NTTAWWT.

Speaking of Trading Spaces, anyone see this Saturday's Las Vegas episode? I'm torn --- was the woman really that pissed off, or was she playing it up? I believe the cursing was real, but the storming off and hitting her friend seemed a little forced.

I think any time a man claims to be straight on his needlework website alongside pictures of his cats, the verdict will always be, at best, mixed.
