You need to wear your watch in a way that you don't have to have your head so far up your ass to check the time.


Is it Friday?

I had two watches up there, but I rectum.

I love this flack's quote:

"All of Joe's clients have been put on with other attorneys who are familiar with the cases. It's not a one-man show," Harras says. "There's been no disruption in client services. The clients are being well serviced."

Priorities, priorities, priorities.

you know, if you have to go into prison, going in for having killed a prior sex partner might be a decent way of keeping the predators away.

On a side note, do you know what the porn sites displayed were?

R.I.P. MC Breed
 

Finally succumbed to kidney failure. He was a one "hit" wonder. And, most likely, no one here knows him, but this is one of the best rap songs of the 90s.

it looks like we'll be blacked out Thursday and not have to watch the 0-11 lions play a 10-1 pissed off team. Enjoy everyone!

Re: another good thing about living in Detroit
 

I am thinking of starting with some champagne (french stuff); then Riesling, either something German, a Spatlesse of sorts, perhaps, or some Eroica from Chateau St. Michelle; and then California Zin.

Later port, at least 20 years old and naked hottubbing with the neighbours.

thoughts?

Re: another good thing about living in Detroit
 

Man, that's just mean. That's mean, man.

Beer goggles, Wine glasses.
 

Sounds like the neighbors aren't much to look at sober.

Re: Beer goggles, Wine glasses.
 

Actually, on the hot side. The booze is a good faith effourt to ensure the inlaws are passed out before the hottub portion of the festivities. The alternative would be scary.........and saggy......

A family member has been solicited to join Omicron Delta Kappa, which appears to be a splinter faction or rival sect to Phi Beta Kappa. I've never heard of it, but I live a sheltered existence. She wonders if she should join. Thoughts?

Personally I have fond memouries of all of the sorority girls from my past, so, I say go for it!

I need new glasses. What should I get?

Re: actual fashion question
 

Eye surgery.

Better yet, how about pierced eyeglasses? I hear they're the next hottest thing.

How about a pair of MP-704s, as designed by Kazuo Kawasaki. I hear those will look stylish until at least 2012.......

Re: actual fashion question
 

I believe they're sold out until at least then.

Hey, ncs!
 

The People(tm) have spoken, and song parodies are back. And the first one goes out to The Pretty Lady herself.

Hey, ncs (apologies to "Carrie Anne" by the Hollies)

When we post on FB, our roles are simple
I play the partner, you play the pretty girl.
Now you post on politics with Ty and Spanky
What's the attraction in stripper stalking?

{Refrain}

Hey, ncs
What's your board now, can anybody post?
Hey, ncs
What's your board now, can anybody post?


You were always special to the FB
Quite independent, never snotty.
Didn't lose your charm with higher post counts.
Fantasy football, or Mister Man jokes.

{Refrain}

Posters come and go, but you still post here.
Running the Death Pool, wearing cool glasses.
When the FB's over, you'll leave with me.
Then I'll hear Senor Hombre saying . . .

{Refrain}

(The song came to me yesterday during my session of "Sweating to the Oldies" with Richard Simmons -- a birthday gift from Fenwick. Maybe the kid will get me Deal A Meal as a Generic Winter Gift-Giving Holiday present -- one can hope.)

Cheap champagne.

Re: Fingers Crossed.
 

it looked like Knick fans were cheering for him, like people were encouraged to do that to make him want to come there. that could backfire. I've always thought of MSG as the best place to see a game because of the fans (even though your team sucks). i would think reminding him of how loyal you are to the Knicks might be the better way to get him there.

doesn't matter. he'll be a Piston soon.

Put down your weapon, criminal.
 

By then, Detroit will be one step away from Robocop-land (complete with SUX-6000 cars). Why would LeBron want to live there?

Re: Hey, ncs!
 

Indeed. Here's a transcript of my recent IM chat session with Not Bob.

Not Bob's Id: Yo, have you seen Hank's reply to your ncs song?

Not Bob: Of course I did. When I am not constantly refreshing the browser to see if anyone has responded to one of my posts, I have Google Alerts send a notification to my BlackBerry.

Not Bob: Let me tell you, it took long enough.

Not Bob: Oh, and what are you doing out?

Not Bob's Id: Your ego and superego are busy watching that YouTube video of those British guys reuniting with their pet lion.

Not Bob's Id: Again.

Not Bob's Id: And I can only take too much of Whitney singing that particular song before I crack.

Not Bob: I remember. My cousin Mary Elizabeth is still not speaking to me. You really caused quite the scene at her wedding.

Not Bob's Id: Oh, please. Like I was the only one who wondered whether that minx Colleen the bridesmaid was willing to go for a romp in the coatroom. Is it my fault that Father O'Reilly walked in on us? Who knew that he needed to leave early for the Ottaviano funeral?

Not Bob: Right. Anyway, what is your point?

Not Bob's Id: Bro, as much as it pains me to say this, Chinaski is right. The ncs song is lame-o. Nicey-nice. Sickeningly so, even for you. Jesus, how did you ever get laid?

Not Bob: (a) What bad things can one say about ncs? (b) Do you know how hard it was to come up with a song that had a three-syllablle name? (c) What's wrong with being nice?

Not Bob's Id: Ok, fine, I agree that ncs isn't really someone you can blast. I mean, she's no e/o or tmdiva. But couldn't you have at least mentioned how badly you want to peel those hipster Levi cords off of her? Ripping her vintage April Wine concert t-shirt to get at her? Easing those funky Lisa Loeb glasses off of her, while whispering "Good heavens Miss Sakamoto - you're beautiful!" into her ear?

Not Bob: Huh?

Not Bob's Id: It's a line from Thomas Dolby's "She Blinded Me With Science." Hipster chicks dig that sort of retro-irony, post-irony sincerity thing.

Not Bob: You are insane. Besides, I picture her as Jennifer Aniston.

Not Bob's Id: Oh, that's right. So why nothing about biting each and every bit of the 15 items of flair off of her?

Not Bob: Uh . . .

Not Bob's Id: Yeah, I thought so.

Not Bob's Id: Listen, pal -- gotta run. Ego and superego are arguing about whether Andy Williams or Perry Como did "Born Free," and you know how much I just love a good nerd fight.

Re: Congratulations Slave and Catrin!!!
 

I am a big fan of Colbert but not a watcher of his show. I find that particular character tiresome. Nevertheless, I found the Christmas Special pretty funny, particularly the idea of Willie Nelson as a fourth wise man bringing an offering that smokes more sweetly than frankincense or myrrh.

But I can see the Lisa Loeb glasses, too
 

Not Bob's Id talks to himself a lot.

And, Not Bob, just tell her she has nice hair. The other stuff - over the top.

Re: Put down your weapon, criminal.
 

In Shanghai i stayed at the hotel where the US team was staying for some pre-olympic exhibitions. An american walking in Shanghai is mobbed by hawkers wanting to sell imitation rollex or gucci.

One morning I saw D'Antonio in a Starbucks, I approached him and asked politely if his players experienced that when shopping on the streets (meaning did the hawkers realize LeBron doesn't need to get a discount on a Rollex). He said "my guys don't get to walk around the streets."

LeBron in NYC and in Detroit has similar realities that negate the fact tcotu is the coolest place for normal people to be.*

if I'm Dumars I tell LeBron "you come to the Pistons, and you step on the court with Tayshaun and Rip. You've watched the finals for the last time until you retire. Your next move is the one that will define your career. Jordon is Jordon because of the 6 rings. Kobe is Kobe because of the rings. You have been in a franchise that could not get you there. you know that can happen again, right? You get triple-teamed and cleveland can't put people around you that can score. do you trust the knicks to do something differennt?

You think you'll get triple teamed with Tayshaun and rip on the court? (we may still have a viable Rasheed then) You have played your last playoff game where you HAVE to score the last 30 points.

Plus, with all humility, I have proven I am a great GM" (I'd be talking quickly hoping LeBron doesn't bring up Darko now) "you know I'll put together the team to get us there.

Who is in NYC? How many teams has he put over the top? Which two or three allstars are starting with you in NYC your first game?"


* of course the counter is that the NYC media environment makes him bigger as a player on a crap team there then he'd be on a championship team here.
