Meanwhile, in what can only be explained by a wormhole to 1985, Chez Panisse and Spago ranked also.

That list is quite weird. I've not eaten at a sufficient number of the restaurants listed to have an informed opinion but, based on the London/UK ones I've eaten at alone, that list is weird.

And ... Balthazar?

The English. Picture me shrugging.

It's clearly not a good list. No Applebees, and no OCB. I have no idea what the reviewers were thinking.

Talk about "something completely the same."

MR--I think the board is stuck in one of those endless programming loops. can you get us out of it?

BTW--how was the visit from wifey's family?

so, what, you go out to dinner with prospective waxers before allowing them to wax you? You don't bikini wax?

I didn't want to Wonk but someone shold have warned me a catchup would result in the knowledge that Purse Junkie has a hairy ass. Hopefully its the same color as her whorish fur coat= looks better for the jaunts down the 42nd street of yore.

I'm surprised that this didn't happen sooner. Two mutually ignoring posters link to the same article, having no idea that the other has already pointed it out.

Incidently, this can't possibly be the first boat wreck at Hippie Hollow. Too many crazy drunk people hang out there. Though I'm alarmed that it is possible to sink a pontoon boat. I was under the mistaken impression that they are especially designed with drunk people at the helm in mind. It does really set the tone for the summer, though. One can only imagine that Fourth of July there this year is going to be crazier than usual. To say nothing of Memorial Day.

I see you watch Baseball Tonight too. Are you going to try to take credit for this "prediction" later on like the Contreras* prediction?

* I realize one game does not a season make,** but Contreras had a sparkling outing against Oakland -- 6 innings, one earned run.

** But neither do the first three.

He tried to claim invention of a joke that was on Chappelle the night before. Thanks for catching this.

Gentlemen:

An article entitled "How to use a hand puppet to meet, attract, and date tons of single women..."
....
Let me clue you all in. This approach would be unsuccessful with me.

The technique is all wrong, but the basic underlying concept is sound.

I used to hang out with a guy whose thesis for his MFA in film from NYU was a feature length puppet movie, and who worked at the Children's Television Workshop working the Muppets (and whose goal in life was to work his way up to being Kermit on the show). He carried a Kermit around with him almost everywhere he went, and was really, really good. And the chicks flocked to him. None of this tapping on the shoulder crap though. He was more subtle. He'd be at a party, and someone would ask him to do a little Kermit. Or he'd do Kermit for a group of kids. No direct hitting on the women. They'd come to him.

On the other hand, it was a complete waste, because he pined away for the one woman who didn't seem interested in him. So the no direct hitting on part wasn't an act, which made it even more effective.

That is a sure sign of a gay guy in denial. They claim they are disinterested in other woman because they are in love with a woman who isn't interested in them. Hetero guys will still go for sex with women who they aren't in love with if the woman that they are in love with doesn't want them.

BTW--how was the visit from wifey's family?

Speaking of S.O.'s family visits, I had my own weekend with the Bunnyman's family. Rather fortunately, timing-wise, as many relatives were in town from overseas last week, the Bunnyman's aunt died unexpectedly on Thursay in a tribute to Jimi Hendrix by tripping and falling and suffocating in her vomit. So, the Bunnyman and I made the journey to the family farm in good ole WVa this weekend in order to pay tribute. My first comment, good ole auntie is getting burried on the family farm. Burials on personal property should be saved for goldfish and hamsters. This is just weird and anachronistic. My second comment, gas station pumps that do not offer pay at the pump credit card readers should be outlawed in all 50 states. I had to stand in line in behind a woman pre-paying for her gas and buying a pig's foot for 12 minutes while she talked to the guy at the register about her daughter's prom dress they were making. I don't think either of them had any idea that most people don't want to stand in line for 12 minutes hearing about some inbred girl's prom dress. And last, but not least, if you are going to West Virginia, remember to bring your toothpaste, because you will find at least 4 convience marts that carry denture cleaner, but not toothpaste---i guess those jokes about toothless rednecks in WVa are true.

Speaking of which, I caught some of SNL this week while in Toronto. Jimmy Fallon cracked up again, and caused everybody else to as well. It was during a sketch called "Debbie Downer," which would have been bastante-funny in its own right, but was downright hilarious with everyone losing their shit on live TV. Pretty good stuff.

At least someone was laughing.

Fortunately for all of us, Britney does have 3 hours to work out and personal trainers, etc. Thus, we do not currently have to question waht her body would look like without them and can continue to have our dirty fantasies. Only now, we can more readily imagine doing her on the smelly mattress in the back of the double wide, which only adds to the allure.

Dude, you seemed to have crossed the threshold into leery, middleaged pervland. I remembert your last post (god help me, but only bc it was associated with my alltime favorite post- the Giant Justin Nosejob on the Mustard Backround- does someeone have it?). You said, no wonder I dont post here anymore, the post header is "britney" and al I see is this justin pic posted a million times.

nOw you are back and you ahve posted about jizz and britney perversions. its like watching pierce brosnan turn into andrew dice clay.

One very large paragraph is difficult to read. Could you please add some white space in future? thanks.

I can only see this working if he made Kermit say things like, "What does a frog gotta do to get a fucking blow job in this jurnt? Hey honey, bring those tits over here. Your nipples are so big, I thought I was back at my lillypad. Oh! Are those things on? Wokka wokka wokka."

Now that's just sick.
