At what age are you too old to bong a beer?

Happy Friday
 

My god. Are the girls just painted?

Leona Helmsley doesn't use that much makeup.

Isn't that the coach who just get fired from Iowa state?

Even better than the first posted story --

[spree - drunk, exposed monseignor gropes hotel workers and police officers while repeating "michael" and "suck my cock"]

So does he want Michael to suck his cock or will anyone do?

Happy Friday
 

Creepy isn't it? Stepford kids.
At first, I thought they were dolls. Then I thought that their creepy parents must have used some weird cosmetic paint - or else they're robots from space.

You can tell that they're not right. They probably haven't blinked since they were born.

I started rapidly blinking in sympathy.

Old School
 

Only at the point when you can no longer swallow.

Was going to comment on some of my SO's from college. Naaahh, too easy...

The mental image of this debacle is ruining my otherwise fantastic morning. Old wrinkly men naked from the waist down, save one sock (probably a black dress sock), just don't do it for me.

Reminds me of the time the drunk gypsy man started fondling me, I pushed him away and told him to go to hell, and he spat in my face. That was a fun day.

SCREW YOU, YOU LITTLE TRAMP! I said I was tipsy. TIPSY!!!

I take it you will be avoiding the Red Hot Chili Peppers reunion tour in 2017 when it plays a Six Flags near you.

How come no one told me this book was so good?

Chicago and Irving
 

Chicago: Anyone wanting to read a good book about Chicago should read Nature's Metropolis , by William Cronon, about Chicago's rise in the 19th century, and about the industries that made it big. Fantastic.

John Irving: Owen Meany? Ugh. John Irving is just a little too didactic and pleased with himself there for my taste. He does what he does well, but I don't like what he does.

A PRAYER FOR OWEN MEANY
 

I have at various times attempted to read Garp, Widow, and Meany - only to give up in disgust and give away the books.

It's uncanny. I look just like that.

Happy Friday
 

They all look like Stepford Kids. Nice smiles, but nobody's home. Those eyes are scary.

If I were Kia, I'd be a little pissed off at Ty right now. However, he's absolutely right. Kia sux, big time.

I thought rumor had it that Ty and Hildi had a little somethin'-somethin' going on. In the clips they show during the credits, they're very touchy with each other. Of course, I'd much prefer it if Hildi and Amy Wynn suddenly got rather touchy. Amy Wynn is TITS!

Please, Atticus, I just had lunch.

Tyrone if you look like Ty, I'd like to take you home for the weekend. I'll make sure Mr. FuFu is not around.

Spree: Steve Elkington refers to Annika as a "classy lady".

Omigod! Being blonde is not protected under Title VII!

Spree: link to article about case holding that hair color does not confer protected status.

Seems like the judge tinted some of the facts.

Small wonder?

TM

This will look bad on his Bar application...

(Spree: Search of Yale law student's dorm room in bomb probe finds several guns and ammunition.)

Here's a guy who needs to find a less stressful line of work once he gets out of prison. I personally will now think twice before flaming Yalies on this board...

This will look bad on his Bar application...
 

Good lord, imagine if he had gone to a real law school, with competition.

And, do they even house people other than first years in the dorms? If not, this guy doesn't have any grades yet, since isn't the first semester pass/fail, with no fails, only retakes?

FWIW, some on-line friends of an on-line friend were selected to have their houses be on the show next season, and they got the season premire. They have promised to update us on the behind the scenes part of the show when they can.

Annika Update -- day 2
 

She pulled even after 2.

The cut line looks to be +1.

A PRAYER FOR OWEN MEANY
 

I hated Garp, but for some reason I'm enjoying Owen...

A PRAYER FOR OWEN MEANY
 

The short answer is that Americans don't read books, and any movie adaptation that kills Ashley Judd in the first fifteen minutes, yet leaves Oliver Platt standing, can never become beloved of the American people.

A PRAYER FOR OWEN MEANY
 

Don't you find, particularly after any amount of time on the internet, that all that dialogue in caps is ANNOYING?

She looks pretty good having completed 2/3 of the "horrible horseshoe" or whatever they're calling this stretch of difficult holes. She just missed a birdy putt on the par 3 4th. Now it's onto the 5th, which is where she made her first bogey yesterday.

bad tee shot on the 5th. only went 192 yards into the rough, which is bad since this is a long par 4. she's got 269 left to the green. looks like she may bogey this, unless she has a killer up and down.

A PRAYER FOR OWEN MEANY
 

A LITTLE. But I think the reader needs to be reminded that his voice is EXTREMELY ANNOYING. When I read it, Martin's voice from the Simpsons runs through my head, except more annoying.

It's too bad her putting has been so crappy thus far. She had many birdie opportunities go by the board, although I can certainly understand her reluctance to press too hard. My guess is she'd rather not risk finishing last by charging too hard.

It looks pretty clear that she's not going to finish 30 shots off the lead or whatever TM's prediction was.

A PRAYER FOR OWEN MEANY
 

And not as annoyed as I was by Dean Moriarty when I was rereading "On the Road"...

damn, she's falling apart on the 5th. could be a double bogey.

edit: thank god. she holed a 15 footer to save bogey.

Books
 

High Fidelity was a good read (even after seeing the movie). I second the motion for Me Talk Pretty One Day. In a similar vein, I picked up a memoir called Running With Scissors by Augusten Burroughs. It isn't Sederis-level amusing (a comparison to Sederis is what prompted the purchase), but it is kind of interesting and disturbing. Of course I am partial to reading about people with screwed up home-lives because it makes me feel normal...

on-line golf
 

You know that I love all of you like brothers and sisters, and that I wish the best for Annika and Swedish women everywhere, but I have to say that I can barely keep my eyes open during a conversation about golf, or golf on the TV, so the on-line updates about how Annika is golfing just aren't doing it for me.

Those of you who are posting solely to keep me entertained should bear this in mind. Everyone else, as you were.

Dammit. Now how do we make you happy, if Swedish women are not enough?
