Anyone have any good stories they want to share?
I'm not feeling the need to share, but it is interesting how drastically people's experiences with drugs and sex can vary. Funny story. Very accommodating girlfriend.

I was impressed that this guy gets paid to take drugs and have sex without having to get involved with prostitution (unless you count writing about it all).

I don't have any good stories myself although I knew some people in college who tried to do whippets while they were having orgasms. Apparently, it was pretty hard to time properly.

The only big deal about any of this is that he actually kept notes.

Did any else out there get bit in the ass courtesy of Sallie Mae's calculation "error"???? Apparently 800,000 accounts got f**ked up and they're increasing payments on these accounts to reconcile their little oopise.

I recall basketball practice in 8th grade where they'd split us into shirts v. skins. I always had to guard this tall kid who dribbled with his back to the defender and his back was covered in bacne. I couldn't even guard the motherfucker. I'd just hand him the lane praying he'd turn around. Doing suicides was better than chancing having his back bump into me.

You think that's bad? Try going to a nude beach sometime. I went to one a few years back with my then SO for a lark. I was hung over and nearly lost my cookies all over the sand when I saw some of the eyesores roaming about. Foul. We tried to walk to an area where less ugly people were congregated.... we found what I can only describe as a scene which must have appraoched what it was like to be backstage when Queen and the Village People played on the same bill in the Castro District during the 70s. I felt like I'd stumbled into the weight room in jail. Yechhh... won't do that again.

Almost makes me want to put my house on the market so I can get him as my agent and ask him what it feels like to have been somebody once. I guess I missed it when all of the has-been hip-hoppers were invited to move down here.

Welcome to Atlanta where the player's play -- or lose it all and end up selling houses in East Cobb.

edited to say that I had to spoil this by wondering about the legal implications of using "New Edition" in the ad. Somedays I just can't shut the legal shit off. I need to start drinking more and much earlier in the day.

Now, there have been some pretty revolting topics discussed ad nauseum (literally) on this board, but for some reason, this very colorful (that's supposed to be zit-color) description totally turned my stomach.

Congratulations, SD, your post is most definitely among the top-grossing posts of the year (on my own personal list anyway -- feel free to print out this coveted award and hang it on your refrigerator)!!

Julia Roberts is absolutely common. She's not worthy to wash Charlize's thong.

Roberts might be the most overrated, overhyped non-godess to waste gobs of screen time in the past 20 years. Charlize is a classic conservative beauty.

If you ran into Charlize and Julia in street clothes with no makeup, you'd probably assume Theron was a starlette hanging out with her assistant.

Trading Spaces sucks. It was fun for the first season, but it's just so tiresome.

A better show, the secret addiction in my family, is designer's challenge. Real people work with real designers and spend real money to get a problem room redone. You get to see three different designer proposals, with explanations of why they are choosing different options. Another great choice is Design on a Dime -- 1500 budget, real designers, they show the shopping and color choices.

Trading Spaces is all drama, no design.

Legal implications? It's the grammatical implications about which Mr. DeVoe should be worried.

Dropping like flies
 
Hume Cronyn, one of the foremost character actors of the American stage and screen for more than 60 years, died on Sunday at his home in Fairfield, Conn. He was 91.

Cronyn, a compact, restless man who was once an amateur boxer and remained a featherweight 127 pounds all his life, was at home in everything from Shakespeare and Chekhov to Albee and Beckett. Among his notable Broadway successes were "A Delicate Balance," "The Gin Game" and "Coward in Two Keys."

He was nominated for an Oscar for the 1944 film "Seventh Cross" with Spencer Tracy. More than 40 years later, when he was in his 70s, he won fresh recognition on film as Joe Finley, one of a group of elderly people who seek eternal youth in the popular movies "Cocoon" and "Cocoon: The Return."

I would say that it's more therapeutic to sell the books back and use the proceeds to get shitfaced, until I realized that I wanted to shove half of the books up the author's ass for coming out with yet ANOTHER addition so I could get jack-shit for a book I paid $100...

For being 56 with his history the bod ain't too bad -- looks like he lifts a little bit. The face is utterly hideous, although, to his defense I will add that even in his prime Iggy was not what one would call a "looker." It must suck to be jealous of the physical appearance of the likes of Mick Jagger and Steven Tyler. Iggy just got the shitty end of the stick in the looks department and then somebody must have beat him about the head and neck with the same stick.

Bringing the conversation full circle, Iggy did a cover of "Well, Did You Evah" with Debbie Harry on one of those "Red, Hot & _____" benefit albums. The lasciviousness with which he sings "Have you heard that Mimsie Starr/Just got pinched in the Astor Bar?" is something to behold.

2. BBD selling real estate -- One of the colleagues listed in the ad is a Mary Gill. Any relation to Johnny G? Still, at least he's working a respectable job and isn't lying in the gutter somewhere like a lot of washed up singers. Can't be good for his "street cred", whatever that is...

I did - I am still trying to get them to explain why based on their schedule - computer-error, I underpaid by $1,000 over a one year period at 4.86%/2.86% and am now expected to repay an extra $5,000 even though they are supposedly crediting the extra interest. I am also trying to get them to correct my interest rate, which is messed up on two of my loans (they should all be the same) and have been working on that for over a year. Good luck straightening out your account.

For Love or Money
 
This show is about to get really interesting.

The premise has been that the girls know they are battling for the opportunity to choose the man (bad idea) or the money (good idea), without him knowing.

Now, they are going to tell him ahead of time, so the girls will have to convince him that they really, really, really do love him for him, before the finalist dumps him for the money.

Cheap-ass NBC is paying an annuity -- over 40 years. So, it's for love or $150k in real money. Probably less, but I don't feel like doing the math.
