Damn that's pretty freaky.

And why is it people say fuck you, but they never do it? That's not right.

When is Frank Black of the Daily Show going to do a bit on the absolute worthlessness of the Today Show and utter vapidity of Katie Couric. If I have to endure another minute of her softball interviewing and mindless "What about the children" horseshit while waiting for the local weather, I may drive to NYC and hold up a huge sign that says "Katie Couric was a whore in high school" at the next Today show taping.

And someone please tell Matt Lauer to bage the chemo look. Just go with the bald thing or get the fucking hair plugs, but make a decision already.

S(how Lauer doesn't slap Couric across the face every morning amazes me)D

Leagl, I do hope you don't plan to use that picture as your avatar, as the human arm appears to be clad in an acrylic sweater.

The horror!

Oh. My. God. You are so right. I almost committed a horrible fashion faux pas. Thank you for saving me.

(Actually no, that picture makes me squirm)

Mojitos?
 

The drink of this summer and every summer since man fermented sugar into alcohol until the day the sun implodes is whatever booze you like on the rocks with a splash of whatever mixer you like with it.

I don't drink anything that looks like windshield washer fluid unless I'm certain it will make me hallucinate.

Open up and say ahhhhh.....
 

Ugh, I went back and looked at the sweater and it's that awful bright-color-interknit-with-black look that was so cool in . . . 1986?

I really quite like the Rainbow Bright idea. As an avatar it would be much smaller (not as offensive) and it just sums leagl up so well.

Plus it apparently would annoy a whole bunch of people, and I'm all for that. It's much subtler than just flaming. Flaming is passe. Annoying is the Pisco Sour of the New FB!

You think Rainbow Bright sums me up well? Ok, now I really am offended.:telloff:

WTF is this obsession with Pisco Sours and what the hell is one anyway?

Christ, cut it out with the foofy trendmeister crap and just go get me a margarita.

Puh-leaze. Winshield washer fluid is invariably a cool color, like pale blue or green. The Pisco Sour is a warm color, some kind of lightish orange.

Of course, perhaps you are using some cheap prole windshield washer fluid that is yellow, or reddish. I wouldn't put it past you.

Edited to say, note how splendiferous I am with my retro flaming post. All of you can eat my dust.

If you're continuing to use that "Come Closer, I Don't Bite" quote, I think Rainbow Bright is out, even if it is you.

Try this one, which follows the "biting" theme:

Spree: Wish He'd Bite Her and Get it Over With, But Don't Worry, This is Pretty Tame

And, you could do a whole theme thing with future avatars, too.

Eminem Revisited today
 

http://www.cnn.com/2003/SHOWBIZ/Musi....ap/index.html
LONDON, England (AP) -- The real Slim Shady stood up and made fun of Michael Jackson by dangling a baby doll over a hotel balcony.

Rapper Eminem also wore a surgical mask over his face Tuesday in an obvious swipe at Jackson, who dangled his baby, Prince Michael II, over a balcony railing in Berlin in November.

Eminem, who was staying at the Art House Hotel in Glasgow, Scotland, went further than Jackson by tossing the doll into the air and catching it.

"Empersonator," said a headline in the Daily Mirror tabloid, which published three photos. The New York Post's front page blared: "Oh baby! Eminem does his best Jacko."

Scotland's Daily Record tabloid said the incident occurred as fans and photographers gathered outside the hotel before Eminem's concert in the city Tuesday.

Eminem, whose nickname is Slim Shady, is on a British tour but has kept a low-profile between shows.

The Daily Record said he took over 50 rooms at the hotel for his entourage.

:laugh:

Dude, don't make me hunt you down to kick your ass. Bad mouthing Bruce is bad enough, but watch what you say about Katie.

And George Herbert Walker Bush didn't seem to think she was asking him softball questions when he unexpectedly popped into an interview she was having with his wife.

The best stuff is German. Clear, and it smells like beer.

Germans don't like anything to go to waste.

That is so scary. I've never seen a nose shaped like that before.

Speaking of beer, is Heinekin the effing WORST beer in the world? The people drinking this swill are always the people (mostly guys) who think they are drinking a yuppie beer but are too conservative to drink Corona or Rolling Rock, which are equally disgusting. All three of these brands have become successful on marketing alone. They're the Nike of the beer industry. "Not only am I offering you shit, but you'll pay more for my shit." My grandfather grew up near Latrobe and said that Rolling Rock was the Milwaukee's Best of Pennsylvania (ok he didn't say EXACTLY that, but he said it was always known as swill)...

Actually, Beast Light brings back good memories.

And my college had Natural Light in the bottle...

Mojitos?
 

Yes, yes and yes. Heinekin sucks. Corona - awful. In the 70s Rolling Rock was the local Penn swill. My dad, a connoisseur of local swill, drank RR during our time in Pennsylvania and then switched to Genessee Cream Ale once we moved to the Empire State.


Edited to add that I consumed way too much GCA in college...

Mojitos?
 

Aren't these all bar beers? Which are, precisely, beers that have successful marketing? I'll admit to drinking these, grudgingly, at a bar, because the choices are bud, bud light, corona, heinekin, and amstel light. basically that's five versions of budweiser, three of which happen to have foreign names. But what are you going to do? THey all cost $5, and it's outrageous, but it's not like it's BYOB night.

At home? None of these.

Mojitos?
 

Um, don't let any Peruvians hear you say that. (That's like saying the best aquavit is Mexican.)

Mojitos?
 

I think Coors light is the worst beer ever. Flavorless. No wonder they need to spend so much $$ on advertising. Same with Miller Lite. Followed closely by Amstel light. (Why do people drink lite beer anyway? - I cannot drink as much beer as I used to, but I would prefer that what I drink have some flavor - if you don't want the calories, drink less of the real stuff)

Now Steeler beer, that's a beer. (j/k, for anyone familiar with Steeler beer)

Is Peru the undisputed king of windshield washer fluid?

Around here, it's easy to get the following at the local public house: Boddingtons, Cafferys, any Sierra, Goose Island, Sam Seasonals, Harp, Bells (Sooooo good), etc...

Of course this city only has about 500 less bars than NYC (I think it's 2200 for NYC and 17XX for Chicago)...

Mojitos?
 

One of my best friends drinks either Amstel Light or Rolling Rock when she drinks beer. When she drinks wine, she likes white zinfy. I try not to hold this against her but sometimes it's hard. Seriously, I think the blandness is part of the appeal with all of these drinks.

Worst Beer Ever
 

Heineken always tastes skunked, it's nasty. Genny Cream Ale - ugh. We used to get that in beer balls. Does Steeler Beer have anything to do with Iron City Light (nasty)? My favorite bad beer is Golden Anniversary. In NJ we could get a case for under $10. College swill of choice was either Narragansett or Knickerbocker. Every know and then we'd splurge and get some Molson Brador.

It's a really great number. Do people still do K races on the new board? If so:

K -- BOO-YEAH!

Lah dah dee, lah dee dah.

Now my day is complete...back to billing so I can pay for it. :)

They do, but you know that one sort of crept up on me, I can't believe we already have 11 thousand posts. Congratulations on catching it!

My point is Rust Never Sleeps is a great fucking record. I dig Neil's garage rock heavy metal stuff as much as his lighter shit.

I defy any angst riddled kids like Pearl Jam or Rage or even PE to put out an angrier piece of cultural criticism than Rockin in a Free World.

"There's one more kid that'll never get to school, never get to fall in love, never get to be cool..." From most, that shit would sound like idiot sophomore tripe, but from Neil its razor sharp.

S(That said, I ain't going to see his new tour where he forces the audience to endure an entirely new rock-opera)D

Mojitos?
 

Try some Sam Adams. It is pretty good beer. In the summer, the Heffeweissen (sp?) is also pretty good. I am not a connaissuir of good beer or anything else--as you can probably tell since I would probably be able to spell it if I were one--but I, IMHO, think it doesn't taste shitty, but YMMV.

Not exactly a ringing endorsement, but for reasons of liability, that is as far out on a limb as I am willing to go.

Mojitos?
 

These drinks are the kiddie-bike training wheels of alcohol--you use 'em til you're ready for big-kid booze.

Perhaps she'd like a sloe gin fizz to ease her into liquor--sort of like a Shirley Temple for grown-ups. Or maybe a Pina Colada?

Duuuuude, Katie sucks ass. Spanking W in a debate is tee ball. Most second year reporters can baffle the guy.

As to Bruuuuuce, my opinion remains - History's Greatest Monster.

I rather thought that was Not Bob's point.

Really, Seb darling, do I have to explain everything to you?



P.s. I share your feelings re: Katie and Matt. How did Katie get to be a big time TV personality with that gummy smile?

Zin is tasty. Sometimes my neighbor Denise and her husband Anthony will come by and we'll knock down a box of pink zin while grilling some marinated veal. Then we'll do some swapping. We're cosmopolitan like that.

She's utterly harmless in every regard. If she were a kitchen utensile, she'd be a sponge.

thanks, but seeing as I have been drinking beer (legally) for the past 15 years, it's likely that I might have tried one of the most widely available beers already. :)

Even DC has bars with comparable selections. Just not many of them.

A propos of training-wheel drinks, a friend and I contemplated the following the other day:

are wine coolers still sold?
