Nice use of mapquest. Someone could almost believe you've been to the city. Does Carl the crank dealer work that corner?
But please, anything west of Metropolitan Grill is too seedy for me. But next time I'm in the mood for crank and X, I'll see if you're buddy is working that corner.

Unlikely. She says hi, though.

There's also this:

"Krekelberg said the women — most of whom are showgirls — are paid inversely to the pain they experience — $1,000 if they get shot and $2,500 if they don’t — to give them added incentive to elude their armed pursuers. But the deck is clearly stacked in favor of the hunter — only two of the 20 or so have gone home without hitting a target, Krekelberg said. “They weren’t unhappy,” he said. “They still had a great time and met some beautiful women.”"

Meaningful conversations with a showgirl are probably pretty rare even under typical circumstances. I imagine that trying it at (paintball) gun point probably makes the exercise even more of a challenge.

Sane is the magic word. I read somewhere that many homeless people have mental health issues -- and this is supported by observation. In addition, quite a lot also have chemical dependency issues. Both of those are not conducive to holding a job.

Uhm, how about stripper or hooker? From the stories Slave has told me those traits would seem requisite in the sex trade.

If the strippers with whom all of you are so closely acquainted bear a striking resemblence to the homeless with mental health and/or substance abuse problems that I have seen, those billboards advertising the strip clubs should be exhibit A in a faurd suit against the clubs for false advertising.

American Juniors: The Taylor sisters are in. Now the real contest can begin. It's hard not to like Chauncey for next week. I think AJ and Danielle will round out the group, but it's very hard to say.

South Park Episode where Stan, Kyle and Eric pick a new best friend to replace Butters: One of the all time greats. The rose ceremonies are genius. How awesome a character is Jimmy? Very awesome.

Last Comic Standing: I'm told by my fiancee that Dat Phan ripped off big portions of his act from Margaret Cho. If that's true, I don't have much respect for him. Very very sad to see Dave Mordall go. I thought he did a great set and was spectacularly funny.

Big Brother 4: Scott and Amanda, we hardly knew ye. Very hard to guess what Jee's going to do as head of household. Scott certainly rates pretty high up in the pantehon of nutty reality show contestants. He brings to mind that wacky Peter guy who was the first one out of one of the Survivors (it saddens me that I can't remember if it was Africa or Marquesas or what). Apparently chair throwing gets a guy tossed. The awful live update feed boards are all abuzz with Dave and Amanda getting it on, like it's something unprecedented. Well apparently they never watch the Euro Big Brothers, or don't remember Will and Shannon from BB2. I wonder if this is going to be a tradition: the soon to be evicted houseguest gets to bang the person of their choice on their final night in the house? That'd be cool.

Osbournes: Another feud with the neighbors? I'd say that this show has jumped the shark, if that phrase wasn't so April 24th, 2001 at about 2:15 p.m.

Queer Eye for the Str8 Guy: Haven't seen it yet, but it's been Tivo'd.

Hail To Me
 

Californians: Radiohead tickets for the Hollywood Bowl go on sale Friday at 10:00 a.m. PDT. The Internet Presale password is "Oxford." If you want to get them, go to the "look for tickets" icon on the ticketmaster site and start hitting the refresh button at about 9:58. Then type in that internet password QUICK, as well as completing all the other steps as fast as you can.

Sadly, I'll be on a flight. If anyone in Cali wants to volunteer to try to get seats for me, I wouldn't say no.

Str8.

Posts like these and any number of SD's
 

where the response is serious to what was clearly a facetious, sarcastic and dry post make me wonder how many people at the office I have offended. You think everyone gets it, but some people are just too literal.

Aloha- I know you will say you got it, but str8 was being funny when he said he met a stripper who liked him originially. I believe that he was posting in the spirit of Sidd's post. See any number of SD reactions to a PLF post if you want to see the lack of getting it that I speak of.

SPOILERS AHEAD







As for Last Comic, does your fiancee mean that Dat plagiared Cho's act, or is just doing asian immigrant mother humor? bc I am not totally sure the latter is a ripoff. this would mean that only the first asian standup who does the immigrant mother thing is original. how many jewish comics do their grandparents in Palm Beach? How many gay guys do the flamboyant thing? CLarify "rip off" please. I thouht neither Dat nor Dave were at their best on Tuesdsay night, or maybe its bc I heard Dat's act too many times. I just didnt think Dave was that good last night, though I liked his electiricy outage bit.

As for BB4, I was totally hoping Jee would win. The only hope that this show might become interesting. I missed most of the show due to socializing and a lack of Tivo (but came in right as Lisa was talking about her nude posing for a "classy" magazine where nothing was actually exposed. Classy to be sure. Lisa, I had such high hopes for you.)* Jee seems bright and slightly evil and bitter. He can put up two of the original 8- probably fruity little Nathan who put him up and who is two timing everyone. then someone as a pawn- I dont know this show well enough to figure it out yet.

Osbournes jumped shark when I started seeing Kelly Osbourne places other than on the Osbournes. Talk about deluded hopes of a career based on riding your parents coatails. I think that Vanessa from AI proves that Kelly has no hope. People arent into short fat chicks with bad short haircuts who color their hair pink to be different.

***Paging LP. Can you finally agree that classy is just the cheeziest word around and that i aint a snob for pointing this out. Did you see the classy men's mag of which she spoke? Could any other word have been substituted there?

PPS What happened with Eric and Lisa? Are they still together?

1) We bow to your hip, insider, on the scene indie music knowlege. But you gotta know that once Radionhead is put on the cash register display at Olson's books, they are over. Like the White Stripes. Get some bands we havent heard of already. Like "Skinny Girls on Diets". SGOD rocks- like Hole before Cobain died. I also enjoy the "Dirty Vaginas". Who are from LA by they way.

2) I know you are Canadian, but you should know that the real Californians are secretly laughing at you behind your back when you refer to "Cali".

Love, Pai.

Memo to str8
 

I have to disagree just a bit.

A band isn't over when they become popular, unless they really suck and the only thing they have going for them is buzz. (See the Strokes.)

There are lots of great bands making great music of whom many of us have heard. That doesn't make them over.

Even(I never liked Hole -- buzz does not equal talent.)Odds

Memo to str8
 

Thus illustrating the point I was making to Aloha.

And the only reason you don't like Hole is that the band has no brothers in it and no hip hop riffs. They were fucking great back when Cobain was writing their music.

Good news for those who frequenlty TCB:

An Ejaculation a Day May Keep Prostate Cancer at Bay

Research by Australia's Cancer Council Victoria found that the more often men ejaculate between the ages of 20 and 50, the less likely they are to suffer the disease that kills more than half a million men each year.

The survey of 1,079 prostate cancer (news - web sites) patients and 1,259 healthy men found that those who masturbated or had sex at least once a day in their 20s were a third less likely to develop the malady.

"For men in their 50s of course that's often not achievable," Graham Giles, who led the research team, told Reuters Thursday.

Have you noticed that the number of homeless people goes up quite a bit when the economy sucks? Are all these people just lazy all of a sudden? "Get a job, asshole." Some able bodied people can and are lazy. They don't deserve a fucking thing. Some cannot. I would imagine that it's difficult when you apply for a job at McDonald's and they ask you for an address and a phone number and expect you to interview in clean clothes and bathe every day.

But I'm not trying to change your mind. You are a good person and I'm sure (because you are so strong and perfect) that no one in your family has ever given you any assistance with food, rent, money, tuition or help of any kind.

The point that you're terrible at communicating satire via the written word? If 10% of people "get the joke", then you've mastered it. If NO ONE can understand you and NO ONE "gets the joke", it's not the listener's fault. Did you not take a communications course in undergrad? You're just a shitty writer, NTTAWWT. Jonathan Swift shits on your efforts.

Fashion Catastrophe Observed
 

So this morning, as I'm going up the subway stairs, I'm behind a middle-aged Korean woman (55-ish?) who is wearing a Pucci-inspired (inspired, I said -- talking only about the pattern, not the cut) dress -- not bad -- carrying a clean and coordinating bag -- so far, so good -- but as the eye is inevitably drawn to her feet, we begin to go awry.

I can't help but notice her footwear, as her feet are at my eye level as I'm going up the stairs behind her. She's wearing heavy, low, platform-ish leather sandals (kind of like Jesus sandals, but with a strap around the back of the heel). This isn't great, but what's under the sandals is just mind-bogglingly bad.

She is wearing -- are you ready? -- pink (that's right, pink) ankle-height athletic socks. Huh? :eek: Now, I can find it in my judgmental heart to forgive the shoes, inadvisable as they may be, but egad, pink athletic socks?!?! Just wear panty hose and be done with it.

I think my jaw actually may have dropped a little before I composed myself.

Just thought I'd share -- it is on-topic, n'est-ce pas? (Then again, just what isn't on topic over here? Null set I believe.)

Speaking of Canadians referring to Cali, I was in the elevator in this hotel a few weeks ago with my friend who was in town for the weekend and this hot guy who looks familiar but I can't place him gets in the elevator. And my friend, who talks to anyone, asks the hot guy what he's doing in NY. And the hot guy says that he's shooting a movie and he's just in town for a little while. And then my cheesy friend says "oh, then you're going back to Cali?" And the hot guy cracks up - not even sounding like a fake laugh. That's when I realized who the guy was, but I was kind of embarrased at my cheesy friend - ai yi yi..

When referring to men's magazines, "classy" is most appropriate. As in , "You put the 'ass' in 'class', baby."

You keep saying this, and maybe it's true in your circle, but it's certainly not universal, and I have foundation.

Did Aloha suck your dick or something last night? It must have been mindlblowing bc your brain isnt working right. There was nothing unclear about my post that said Radiohead was over bc they were on the display counter at Olsons. The point being that they are now so mainstream as to be at the register of a local chain next to Beyonce.

And I was a creative writing minor in college. I just write stream of conscious here bc I am multi tasking.

Do bookmakers take bets on a movie being an absolute, Heavens Gate, style disaster? Bc I would like to bet the farm on Gigli. I know nothing about this movie except that JHo and Ben assfleck are in it, and that Ben appears to play an Italian gangster in the movie(!) from a commercial I saw. I think this is also the movie that gave us the world's most vainglorious, overexposed couple ever. If ever there was schadenfreude amongst the schlock movie ticket buying mainstream, this movie would have to incite it. Tabloids, magazine covers, Pat OBrien, even the fucking NYT. Its enough already. You just arent that interesting. But man are you overpaid.

Jen and Ben are going on Barabara Walters to discuss their relationship? Who gives a flying fuck? And what dont we already know about it that even the most studious kayaker amongst us could not avoid learning? I bet even Bilmore knows what the ring is.

This movie should sink like a stone. And I bet that does wonders for the relationship.
