I Love the 70's
 

Anyone besides me get sucked in last night? It was great re-living my childhood. Or am I showing my age on this one.

Has anyone, ever, successfully conjured up a spirit on a Ouija board?

Gangs
 

quick google search says they do non-violent things like holding/transporting drugs

Duvet
 

Hey, Sock. Penske called and he wants his telephone back.

Or does Penske share a phone with his socks?

Duvets and office greenery
 

Well, not always the whole sheet but at least the top of the unfitted sheet and the shams so that edges are not all fucked up. I think if you buy something other than 100% cotton or less than 400+ threadcount you don't have to iron because then you don't get wrinkles. I like clean crisp edges.

How come no Big Brother fans have said anything about the fact that Alison looks exactly like Sarah Chalke (from Roseanne and Scrubs)? Am I the only person who watches both Scrubs and BB4? I mean, it's really uncanny.

Or else I just watch too much tv.

Gangs
 

I think you are correct in general but it depends on geography (East Coast, West Coast..blah blah blah) and ethnicity (hispanic, asian, black, .....). I hung out with a gang when I was a teenager -- I won't say that I was in deep because I went home to the clean and safe suburbs every night and I stayed away from most of the truly dangerous and illegal crap they were doing but they were damn fun to party with. I wasn't sexed in (and I don't think the other couple of girls who hung with us were either) although the gang was mostly guys and they seemed to be sexing different girls all the time (I think because they were skinheads and girls were turned on by the Doc Martens or something) but those girls were not "in." Anyway, I sort of got in by accident. I had a 'hawk and generally 'hawks and 'skins don't "pal around" (at least back then and in my area) but I stumbled into a situation coming back from the "shop and rob" one night and managed to help a 'skin out of a very tight spot when he got caught alone by surprise and jumped. Long story short, they "adopted" me which turned out to be quite useful on a number of occasions after that.

Yes. It spelled STEVEN. I pushed off after that.

Also my sock.

BB4
 

In a moment of uber procrastination , I read some of the live feed updates. This isn't spoiler but I found it ironic that Jun asked Allison if she was going to fat camp after the show. Jun, this is the mirror, have you guys met?

also interesting is that Alison said she was only moving to LA if she had a secure acting gig (!). And Erika offered her "agent" to Justin and a couple of other people. This agent must be very good. Perhaps a pilates agent?

This is quite possibly POTM, if not Y.

the rumours of my demise are greatly exaggerated
 

And from one of my socks. Coincidence? I think not.

The scene is hilarious. I watched "Pumping Iron" when I was 17. Arnold has just won Mr. [Olympia? Universe?] for the 420th time and he's sitting back in a chair, wearing a shirt that says, in '70s iron-on print, "ARNOLD IS NUMERO UNO". (Someone find me THAT t-shirt) He's leaning back and smoking a HUGE joint. After he takes a hit, someone else thinks he's passing it. Arnold looks at him and tells him something like "No, it's ALL MINE." Just hilarious.

Even funnier though is when Arnold compares lifting weights to having an orgasm: "When I lift, it's like I'm cumming. I'm cumming in the morning; I'm cumming in the evening; It's like I'm cumming all the time!" In Bittersweet Motel, Trey (of Phish) quotes Arnold exactly when asked how he feels on stage, which if you've seen "Pumping Iron", is spit-out-your-drink funny. I almost peed my pants...

I saw Pumping Iron for the first time about six months ago, and found it surreal. I thought it was a mockumentary! I wonder how I would have responded if my sensibilities had not already been shaped by Spinal Tap and years of SNL parodies.

PI should be required viewing -- not just for California voters, but for anyone who wants to appreciate fully the antics of Robert (the fitness model) on Cupid. I feel more culturally literate for having seen it.

The Worst Surprise Party Ever
 

Let's just say 30 of your closest friends assemble for your surprise birthday party at a remote cabin and you find out about it.

Do you:

(a) tell a few of them you know and laugh into your grog,
(b) stubbornly refuse to go along with the pretext until they are forced to admit it, or
(c) decide to scare them by shooting a shotgun round into the air?

If you answered (c), be sure of your footing while your finger is still on that trigger or else your clumsy ass might send 7 friends to the hospital.

Hot Topic is rad. It's so much easier to go in there and buy stuff without having to pop all the balloons for it.

Inhale this
 

Absolutely. Very surreal. And Arnold is funny. He's got a much better sense of humor than most people think. Running for Governor or not, it's something to see.

Who is Shape Shifter
 

I cannot decide if Shape Shifter is:

a) a relatively new poster about whom we know nothing;
b) an old timer with a new identity. Say a LookingforMarket or a IAmSpecial; or
c) a non Penske sock.

Anyone? And thanks for playing in advance.

The Simple Life
 

So I'm flipping through Seventeen at the Dr.'s office and come across this quote by ornamental heiress/party bimbo Paris Hilton on why she went to live with a family of hardscrabble farmers with an equally useless society pal for a reality TV show: "I did this to do something I'll never do. Like working on a farm. Or having a job."

Please, Lord, strike that vapid bitch with lightning now.

The Simple Life
 

One wonders how the family fortune is not already totally diluted a la the Kennedys and the Roosevelts, given the women the men in that family marry. Trash bimbos who think spending compulsively will make them classy.


But not to worry, PJ. If there is one thing that the Kaballah has taught me, its that what comes around goes around.

separated at birth?
 

I don't watch either show, but to me Alison looks exactly like Heather the internet deep throat girl, NTTAWT (i'd surf for a picture, but I still owe the IT people their monthly kickback)

And in twenty years on a bad hair day, she'll look like Sarah Jessica Parker, and yes, TISWWT. Ick.

The International Male has IM apparently
 

I was noticing in the Sept VF that many monarchs came to the US for college. Are they here for the education, or just for the young firm American breasticles? I mean, did Crown Prince Haakon of Norway really need a BA in polisci from Berkeley, Or did Prince Jean of France, after receiving a master's in philosophy from the Sorbonne and a master's in law from the University of Law and Economics in Paris, really need an MBA from Azusa Pacific University?

Should Princess Madeleine of Sweden wish to continue her education in the US (after receiving her degree in art history from the University of Stockholm) I will be happy to provide private tutoring services, whatever the subject, gratis. Noblisse oblige indeed.

The International Male has IM apparently
 

My brother went to college with the Crown Prince of Hungary. Said he was a nice guy, lived in Toronto, and had maybe been back to the homeland a couple of times. Apparently he leads a double life. Architect by day, monarch in waiting by night.

The International Male has IM apparently
 

Thank you for being theonly one to reply to that post and not leave me hanging. And for being a fellow VF reader.

My sister's closest friend from prep school, who is quite a stunner I assure you, dated one Prince Bandar of Saudi Arabia while in college with him at one of them private New England liberal arts schools. This guy had like five houses in the states alone, and each had its own BMW. He rented a loft in the city with this girl for the summer that belonged to a semifamous sculpter, apparently bc the family looked down on his cohabitating like that. At the time I always asked my sister, why does she go out with Bandaid? He is so hideous. Given her family's relative money and renown in the publishing and fashion business, she didnt seem like someone who would cash in her chips. but that has to be the only explanation.

I don't see this. They may have similar facial structures and smiles, but there are a lot of blondes with strong cheekbones out there.

I do see the Alison/Heather thing, though. I wonder if Alison is as skilled.

Not to mention the Santorum.

1- the Lewinsky affair showed us only that if you are going to be bad, be all the way bad- none of this i'll let you blow me, but I won't shoot in your mouth,
2- this also answers yesterday's whole sex at host's home question- in proper homes you'd be given seperate accomadations if you are just dating, this is because the host knows you might screw if in the same room. given that, what's wrong with dirtying the place up a bit? what does a wet comforter say, but "we really felt at home here"? shouldn't the host be sort of glad, althought at first perhaps repulsed?

Who is Shape Shifter
 

Modified (a). A relatively new poster, about whom we know several things.

He had a great entrance to the board, for which I am now giving mad props (Shape Shifter in the hizouse!), with the ghost in a jar sale on EBay. Hence the name.

The Simple Life
 

That show looks awful. Paris Hilton ain't bad lookin, but that other chick (I think she's Lionel Ritchie's daughter) looks like someone morphed Bill Joel's head onto a petite model's body. She looks like she has hyperthyroidism - like her eyes can be barely contained by her skull. Entertainment industry nepotism has gone too far when the even the ugly children of the semi-famous can get gigs on TV. In the old days, a celebrity child that unattractive would get a job working in production, where faces like hers belong.

Uh, the Kennedy fortune is not all that diluted. I don't believe any Kennedys are missing any meals, or cocktails.

Who is Shape Shifter
 

shape shifter's name comes from one of the best posts ever on the old politics board. he would have had some other name, or may have been alurker, but was definately around.

To be fair, the herion habit could be a contributing factor to the looks issue. Herion chic gone bad.

ANd I now heart Shape Shifter. Thanks for explaining him to me, ladies.
