Figures, the 2 with the worst implants want to do a "spread."

I have to agree with Jack. I have heard amazing jazz renditions of Time After Time. It's a really great song. (Tuck & Patti's acoustic version is my favorite vocal performance of the song.)

"I Shall Always Love You" should be eliminated. That song was originally recorded in 1975 by Dolly Parton. Did no one see The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas?

I know that my music geek credentials might get revoked for saying this, but I don't like Amoeba Records. In the abstract, I'm in favor of large independent record stores, but when I lived in San Francisco, I rarely bought anything from Amoeba.

If I'm going to shell out money for an album, I'd better like more than one song on it. Amoeba in SF didn't have any listening stations when I lived in San Francisco. Tower and Virgin Megastore did. I don't collect vinyl, so I don't need the import-only, colored vinyl 12" from Paul's Boutique. If I lived in SF now, I'd probably go to the Rasputin's. Better prices, same pale girls with blue/green/purple hair at the counter.

Living on the Westside, it's a pain to get to the Amoeba in Hollywood, you have to pay for parking, they don't take the KCRW member card for a discount on CD's. so I either order off of Amazon or go to Tower or Virgin. Music is too expensive, and I haven't gotten my CD settlement check yet.

you have to pay for parking at the Hollywood Amoeba? I always parked in that free lot next to the store. of course you have to go in the morning to get a space. those music geeks are early risers when it comes to getting their vinyl.

I DID, I DID. There is no movie involving whorehouses that I haven't seen. I was sad to learn that this one wasn't a porno---talk about a misleading title. I agree that Dolly sounded good singing it, but whitney does it better. Maybe it's because I don't like country. But I did give her extra points for having huge TITS!

HA! That was the TITS. That one never gets old....Never! TITS!

Apparently, Madonna told her agent, "This Gap guy is hot. I gotta get into him. Make it happen." Sadly, her agent is not too well read or Internet-savvy, and regrettable mistakes followed.

Best parody of Madonna's "Sex": SNL, Phil Hartman dead-on as aging Charlton Heston at a "Books on Tape" recording session and intoning, "I like my vagina...". :eek:

Reality show lawyers
 

Not an example I wish to follow, for purely personal reasons that reflect only my opinion. Despite eating a grub or something similarly disgusting, for which she deserved at least some appreciation, she was, allegedly, not terribly popular with all of her teammates, got (perhaps unfairly)booted from the island, sued CBS, allegedly left her firm by mutual consent because when she got back from Survivor, she allegedly wasn't very focused on her work (who can blame her?), and after all that, is still a lawyer at a firm.

No thanks, by which I mean, going back to work at a firm after spending any amount of time with a scantily clad Richard Hatch under any circumstances is, for me, for my own personal reasons, a recipe for a post-traumatic-stress-disorder meltdown, and given that my constitution is undoubtedly not as strong as Ms. Stillman's, that's a risk I would not want to take.

Edited to hedge because I am also a lawyer and some people, not necessarily those named in this post, are, allegedly, litigious.

Stupid pithy sayings
 

A long time ago, when forwarding e-mail jokes was new, I got one of those e-mails with all sorts of pithy cute sayings. You know, eagles may soar but rodents don't get sucked into jet engines. That sort of thing.

One of the cute, pithy sayings was "Friends help you move, good friends help you move bodies."

Last night, I decided that it is the better friend that helps you move. The body, generally, will be no more than 250 pounds, you only have to move one thing, and you don't have to move it again later on down the line. Sure, there are legal and trust issues involved with the move of a body, but on the whole, the move of a household is a much bigger pain in the ass. The true friend, I think, helps someone move all of their stuff.

I shared this observation with my brother as we lifted his unnecessarily large and heavy desk from the back of a Suburban. He agreed wholeheartedly, and he agreed even more as he watched me hop around the living room after I dropped the desk on my toe. The impact of three hundred and fifty pounds of midcentury modern furniture can change the color of a pedicure from hot pink to pinkish purple almost instantly. The good news is my foot's being in the way saved the desk from any scratches it would have gotten had it hit the floor head on.

An Officer and a Gentleman? 50 Women Would Disagree
By N. R. KLEINFIELD

He proposed to Karen. He proposed to Yana. He proposed to Monica. He proposed to Kathy. He proposed to Sarah. He proposed to Susan. He proposed to Vicki. He proposed to Colette.

You get the idea.

Col. Kassem Saleh of the United States Army was part of the force that fought the Taliban in Afghanistan, a task fraught with peril and often lonely. But apparently not that lonely.

The Army said yesterday that it was looking into allegations that he managed to line up dozens of prospective wives in the United States and Canada, women he met through Internet dating services. Virtually all of them posted advertisements on a site called tallpersonals.com, which specializes in men and women who are taller than average.

In recent days, as his chronic courting has come to light, some of the women have compiled a list of more than 50 women who were romanced by him. The women are heartbroken and intent on revenge. They have complained to the Army that they want to see him punished and even thrown in jail. It's unclear at this point if his behavior, if proven true, violates either criminal law or Army regulations.

And while I'm all for the Jerry Springer/Jenny Jones, talk-show-promotion-of-one's-shameful-secrets, air-it-all-out-in-public thing (at least when done by someone else for my amusement), this is one of those times when a sense of utter embarrassment and mortification ought to make these women shut the hell up and just hide in their bedrooms until the whole idiotic thing blows over. Why, why would they want to publicize their own stupidity?

At the drive-in
 

http://money.cnn.com/2003/06/09/news...eins/index.htm

spree: High land prices and short seasons make it tough for drive-ins but this may be a revival.


We have one drive-in with six screens left in my metro-area. Although it is in a somewhat seedy area (the federal pen is down the street and I could pick up some crack on the way to the show if I wanted to) we go almost every weekend. I love the drive-in and it would be a real shame if they disappeared entirely. What I really like is two first-run movies for $6 and I can sit outside and drink beer and smoke ciggies to my heart's content. I have great memories of the drive-in from my childhood and early teens -- my son loves the place and I hope it is around when he is ready for his first backseat grope.

Last weekend I happened to glance over at the car next to us and two young adults (sheesh, when did I get old?) were, uh, going at it in the car. Not a big deal unless you consider that we were watching Nemo for fuck's sake -- they coulda picked a better flick to fuck at with less kiddies around.

The FB invades Salon's "Match Made in Heaven/Hell."
 

Is it me, or do these stories sound like they come from FBers? From Salon, thru the miracle of cut and paste:

Watch out for alligators -- and midget porn: In retrospect, there were many warning signs. He had mentioned in one of his e-mails that he'd spent an entire day laying on his couch, watching "DiGrassi Jr. High" and crying, which is an odd thing to tell a person you're trying to seduce. During a phone conversation he talked nonstop about things like the portrayal of women in the Bible and a friend who liked midget porn. But he had charmed me with his extensive knowledge of random television facts and his sweet demeanor.

Good grief -- this dude sounds like an amalgam of Male FB Poster Dude(tm) . "Um, yeah, I'll take a dash of str8, a dollop of less, and a smidgen of slave. Oh, better throw a little atticus in there for sensitivity and obscure knowledge."

"Summer lovin', had me a blast": Last May, I found love on a telephone chat line. Granted, I'm not your typical chat-line kinda gal: I'm a sweet, blond, Southern-raised classical pianist and attorney who only called up to kill some driving time during a commute.

You almost have it all -- there's the obligatory disclaimer that she's "not your typical chat-line kinda gal"; the reference to music skills; etc., but, alas, she doesn't call herself "hot." Almost -- but, sadly, Not Quite -- the FB Betty trifecta.

Reminds me of the time that my family went to watch Used Cars at the drive-in... My dad had assured my mom that it was only rated R because of language, so she was mortified to see women dancing on top of cars with pasties on. I spent much of the movie with mom's hand over my eyes.

Anyone else have enjoyable memories of watching bad movies with their folks? My only other one was my own mortification at the nudity in Flashdance when I saw that in the theater with my (then divorced) dad. I was in the midst of puberty at the time...

At the drive-in
 

I went to see Top Gun with my parents, their best friends, and their daughter, who was one of my classmates. It's so much worse to have the sex scene mortification in stereo.

Following the movie, our fathers proceeded to tease us mercilessly about Tom Cruise and Val Kilmer.

After Break Up Sex
 

This is akin to the Seinfeld card etiquette thing. How long after you break up with someone do you have to wait before you hook-up? have sex? Put differently (or more accurately), if you had to disclose it to the ex-SO, what would have been too short a period of time?

Thoughts?

At the drive-in
 

Sick? Not sure how a teenage boy copping his first feel on his teenage girlfriend in the backseat of a car at the drive-in is sick. I am sure that there are many babies of the 50s and 60s who were conceived at the drive-in. Haven't you ever necked (why do they call it that? sounds kinda funny) at the drive-in or movie theater? Not even when you were a teenager? I guess I always assumed that it was a harmless rite of passage to have a guy make moves on you at the movie when you are a teenager. Maybe I am just out of touch.

Last Comic Standing
 

Anyone watch Last Comic Standing? For those who didn't, it's a take off of American Idol, only with comics. Some of them were truly funny considering they only had 3 minutes to make an impression. First show was west coast competition with Buddy Hackett as one of the judges. 10 comics from each coast go to Vegas (Paris casino) and then to "the mansion" where each week, comics get voted off. There's no Simon Cowell, but Buddy Hackett did tell one of the other judges to "shut the fuck up."
Anyway - point is, there were a few people who were laugh out loud funny. I would check out next week if you have the time.

After Break Up Sex
 

Isn't sleeping with other people one of the major perks of breaking up with someone? Technically, you could go out and find someone that night and you'd be within your rights.

Practically, all sorts of factors are at play, including but not limited to, how much you care about what the other person (and their friends) think of you, how much you want to sleep with someone else, the duration of the previous relationship, the reasons for the break up (infidelity on the other party's part should give you immediate sleeping with other people rights), whether there's someone actually willing to sleep with you, whether your ex is already moved on to someone else, and whether the word will get back to your ex.
