I'd rather get giant butt implants like that woman on that pathetic website someone posted yesterday than get an operation that would interfere with my ability to eat a simple brownie. What the hell are people thinking?

My brother is 6'6" - I will remind him not to step on you. I am easily 6'+ in heels, so I will try to remember also. Short people ask me to reach things for them in the store on a regular basis, but I don't mind - I'm just glad I don't have to ask other people to reach for my stuff.

In the fall I fully expect to be mistaken for a knocked-up Amazon.

Effin' thieves.

At least we aren't elfin thieves.

my wife's friend had this done, and it's a little more complex than "stapling your stomach." They basically rearrange your innards.

They dissect your stomach and make it so that it holds about 3 ounces of food. It slowly grows back to it's normal size, I believe, but by the time that happens, the person has already lost half their body weight and adopted new eating habits. Her friend did this about 2 months ago and has lost almost 100 pounds.

100 pounds in 2 months? Damn. Does she have excess skin issues?

I haven't seen her, and I don't really feel like asking....

(it may have been 3 months ago)

No. I attributed the quote to the wrong person.

Colin Firth Fan Club???
 

Who knew there were so many other fashionistas who drool over Mr. Darcy and his alter ego, Colin Firth??? I thought I was the only GA to have him on a laminated list.

I will confess to having purchased the DVD of Pride & Prejudice before I even had a DVD player (I already had tapes from A&E viewings).

:drool:

How come it's okay when you guys do it to us? Or does it only count when it's an actual lyric or sample? ;)

Huh?

Speaking of plastic surgery . . .
 

My mother-in-law had a tummy tuck a couple of months ago. I think she dropped two dress sizes immediately (from a 12 to an 8). One of her sisters had the same procedure last year.

I was surprised by how long the recuperation is -- 8 weeks of laying around and up to a year for full recovery.

I don't understand why someone would go through this.

Do other plastic surgery operations take as long to recover?

(Aside from lipo, obviously.)

Colin Firth Fan Club???
 

So, um, what are you doing with those tapes now? Cause if you have a dvd player and don't need them anymore.....

(and welcome!)

Speaking of plastic surgery . . .
 

A close relative had a breast reduction a few years ago, and it took quite some time for her to heal properly. Not quite eight months, but at least three or four. She was 18 at the time, and I assume that she probably had those superhuman recuperative powers that the young tend to have.

Colin Firth Fan Club???
 

I goofed when I failed to include him on my laminated list. Good thing laminating is cheap. As for the A&E series, the scene where Darcy rides home and before he discovers Elizabeth and her aunt and uncle at his estate, dunks in in the pond to cool off and emerges in his wet English gentlemen's clothes . . . a thing that made me go mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm. I heard a rumor that Jennifer Ehle and Colin were hot and heavy. Lucky girl.

Another reason to want to be Elizabeth Bennet in that adaptation: when she tells off the evil old Aunt.

I now have three Colins on my lam list -- Firth, Farrell, and a non-famous one from college.

FB Book Club
 

I recommend this book:

http://lookinside-images.amazon.com/...QJhaOzJrt/Mzg=

The author grew up in Togo. He read a book about Greenland, and decided he had to go there. It took him something like six years of working across different countries, but he finally made it. Most of the book is about the year (or so) (in the 1960s) he was there.

And to make it topical, you can pretend his first name is TITS!

Thurgreed interpeted your "Effin' thieves" comment to mean that you were offended by the fact that rapper Skee-lo appropriated those hippie lyrics for his own song. When Thurgreed asks why it is O.K. when "you" do it to "us," he is commenting on the misappropriation and popularization of musical styles, songs, etc., of blacks by whites (see, e.g., Elvis). His reference to an actual lyric or sample is presumably an attempt to point out the hypocrisy of those who feel that there is something wrong with or culturally unworthy about a music that routinely incorporates lyrics or musical samples from other songs in the creation of its own music, when in fact some of the music that is supposedly being misappropriated by the hip hoppers through sampling, etc., was music that was arguably misappropriated from black culture in the first place.

Bathrobes...
 

Can anyone reccomend a nice, reasonably priced (less than $100, less than $150?) terry cloth bathrobe. I'm always close to buying the ones that nicer hotels have, but I figured I should ask here first.

Movie recommendations?
 

Well, if you're looking for a bad movie, I hear The Core fits the bill. If you're actually looking for a good movie, here are the top 10 as ranked by metacritic.com:

1. Spirited Away
2. Le Cercle Rouge (re-release)
3. Apollo 13: The IMAX Experience
4. Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers
5. Talk to Her
6. Quai des Orfèvres (re-release)
7. Russian Ark
8. Far from Heaven
9. Ten
10. The Lion King

Note that the Ten movie is some film from Iran, not the Dudley Moore-Bo Derek vehicle. These are also mostly art films, which might not be your thing. If you're looking for a video, I'd pick Desperado or Femme Fatale.

I might be going to Coachella. I actually have 4 passes for both days, but I might unload them.

Any movie that features a shot of Monica Bellucci's breasts that fades into a shot of snow-capped peaks is above reproach.

Leagl's just jealous because the fair Monica is 5'10".

As a 6'4" guy who goes to the movies a fair amount, I'd like it noted that I will ALWAYS try to sit in front of an empty seat, both out of politeness and also because people behind me inevitably talk a lot, so I try to avoid sitting near anyone.

str8.

Dumb Dumb Dumb
 

FYI: Don't see The Core. Good effects. Bad dialogue. No objectification.

w/r/t: "6. Quai des Orfèvres (re-release)", does that translate to "Why the Ovaries (re-release)?"

The Ignore Function
 

One of my favorite ill-usages is when ignoramuses use nonplussed to mean unfazed.

Movie Night Clarification
 

My brother says the Core is pretty fucking bad.

Daredevil and the hunted are OK, and basic is bad, but none of them sucks adequately for your purposes.

Wow. This whole strand is the most press I've ever gotten on the FB. And all at a time when I'm spending less than an hour connected to the internet per day. Ironic? Only if I really desired such attention, I guess, but PLF will let me know I'm sure...

PP, I respect your opinion re: sock puppet, but I must admit a soft spot for the wrist-watch sporting dog. All others, thanks for getting my back while I've been stuck in an ugly building, in a cubicle, sifting through docs.

The first part is true everywhere. The second part is too, leastways if you replace "jobs" with "women".

Trenyce in the bottom two???

Yeah, my bottom three would have been Josh, Carmen and Kim C.

People in fly-over land might be tuning out for this discussion, but I think I will really like "The Man Without A Past" when I get around to seeing it. I've seen two or three other talkies by Aki Kaurisimaki (or however you spell it), and I think his stuff rocks. He's my tie-for-first favorite foreign director (with Patrice LeConte). Hang on, they're showing the Laettner shot again on the commercial. Ok. What was I saying? Oh yeah, go see Finnish films. Trust me.

See ya at the Coach, if'n you're there. If'n not, some other time.

I loved the "scenes from next week" trailler where Nate told Lisa in a demanding voice to take off her jeans when they were off in the woods. THat is about the hottest thing for me. Of course its gonna show her all offended and saying thats pseudo rape or male dominance or whatever and he will subconsicsouly think taht Brenda would totally be into it.

and speaking of hot, I thought Brenda's brother was one of the sexiest things going. I hope they bring him back. what was his real name? Jeremy someting italian?

As for AI, I saw the last few minutes of Carmen doing her super shitty karaoke act and Trenyce singing again. Oops, looks like crime doesnt pay, Trenyce. You are safe for another week. At least Americans have a notoriously short attention span. Here's to hoping that Clay got arrested jerking off in a men's room or something to take the heat off.

I am hoping someone else posts the other person in the bottom three.

Speaking of plastic surgery . . .
 

Excellent chance to combine threads. I recommend the movie Lovely and AMazing with the lovely and amazing Catherrine Keener and paigow laminated list runner up Dermot Mulroney in a great role. THere is a tummy tuck in that movie that has serious health repercussions.

I hear you are emailing people to let them know I am dissing THEM on the board. grow up

E tu?
 

Remember that this is a new board, with its own history. Footprints, personalities, egos, quirks, fetishes, alliances and enemies must be established.

Much like the 3rd Infantry Division approaching Baghdad, Paigow's been advancing to establish in about a week what normally takes months to do with conventional forces.

While disorientation and nausea may be a current symptom, all will return to normal once the equilibrium has been reached.

Actually, I liked your prior version better. As written, this looks like a callout of Flower, which I'm assuming isn't the case.
