Why dont they just call this article "The Jap is Back", as this is clearly about yentettes- look at the towns mentioned.

From the NYT- about high schoolers getting ready for school- thank god I didnt go to these high schools where everyone says "everyone".

"It's like the new start of everything," Samantha said. "Everyone will say they don't care, but they do. Everyone's trying so hard. Everyone's at the tanning salon. Like seven kids I know got nose jobs just this week."

Teenagers across cultures and income levels buff themselves before school, but in affluent enclaves [EDITOR: THE MOST JEWISH TOWNS IN THE COUNTRY] like Long Island's Five Towns, Scarsdale in Westchester County or Wyckoff, N.J., the preening is lavish and elaborate, and a force in the local service economies.

I haven't listened yet, but my set came in yesterday. Looking forward to it! But I am sad that "Goin For A Ride" didn't make the cut. I had that one memorized as a kid.

Oh I'm going for a ride
Gonna sit behind the wheel
Gonna drive along the road
Oh how happy I will feel
And I'm gonna toot my horn
Gonna travel near and far
I'm going for a ride
Going riding in a car
And a car goes vroom...
And a car goes vroom...
And a car goes vroom...
Gonna travel near and far
Going riding in a car

Oh I'm going for a ride
And I'm never going back
Gonna be an engineer
Gonna speed along the track
And you'll hear my whistle blow
And I'm happy to explain
That I'm going for a ride
Going riding on a train
And a train goes woo...
And a train goes woo...
And a train goes woo...
And I'm happy to explain
I'm going riding in a train

Oh I'm going for a ride
I'm gonna sail the ocean blue
And I'm gonna be a captain
And I'm gonna have a crew
Gonna sail the seven seas
On the water I will float
Cause I'm going for a ride
And I'm riding in a boat
And a boat goes toot...
And a boat goes toot...
And a boat goes toot...
On the water I will float
Going riding in a boat

Yes, I'm going for a ride (vroom)
Yes, I'm going for a ride (woo)
Yes, I'm going for a ride (toot)
Yes, we're going for a ride

The Fugees? Speaking of yelping poseurs! Aren't they one of those rapper groups? How dare you mention them in the same sentence as Cab Calloway, although I always found his music to be a bit raw for my taste, too. What is the deal with rap anyway? It is just talking over somebody else's record. That. Is. Not. Music. But I think we can agree that those White Stripes are just abominable. So loud, and that horrible guitar wail. They cannot hold a candle to a nice group like the Kingston Trio. Whatever happened to musicians who cared about melody and tunefulness and nice harmonies? The problem with all this rock and roll crap is that these days it is all rock and no roll.

Has anyone seen that new show on HGTV or somewhere where neatness-addicts come and organize your stuff against your will?

I saw one episode once. My mom loved the HGTV and always had it on, and they were organizing some woman who had moved in with her daughter and son in law. And it was so awfully scary.

I would give um a swift boot out the door. I know where my shit is. It is piled in the corner. Under the other shit.

I'd really like for someone to come in and organize my crap. I have no sense of ownership in my disarray. Just a lack of ambition.

I would not, however allow the shrill, fashion-challenged harpies on the US What Not To Wear anywhere near me or my clothes. Fuckers.


Edited to note the trifecta. I will now return to the Breasticle board, where apparently all the cool kids are hanging out.

Mission Organization??? I love that show!!!

The people who get organized by the organizers acquiesce in the organizing. It's not like they sneak in while the person is out of town or something.

I have to say I did not like what they did to the sewing/designer lady and her mom -- too pink.

Anyone else watch the game last night? The sidelines reporter (Lisa something?) is not good. I know she is only there for eyecandy, but really. Is it enjoyable for the male football watching public to watch her interview people when she doesn't even know who is on which team? In her post game interview with Ramsey (QB, Redskins), she said something to him about him talking to his ex-teammate, Laverneous Coles after the game. Hey, chick, Coles is on the Redskins! The story was the he (Coles) was playing against his ex-team. WTF. Ramsey felt bad for her and helped her out of the crappy question.

Official score: 18/20, but I'm going to claim 19/20 (who includes authors' first names?). Who knew what that hair dryer thingy was? Hint: "poofer" is incorrect.

Maybe. But I believe that he felt bad about the situation. My guess is that the straight guys did the show for the same reasons anyone does a reality show - 15 minutes, exposure, a lark, whatever. They probably didn't think through the thing much before they got there and from watching the last show you can tell that Franklin was not a happy camper when it came down to the point where he was in the running for the final pick. I believe that he genuinely liked James and the remaining mates. I bet he felt like a real schmuck.

That's why I'm claiming 16/20. I got her fucking middle name wrong (but was very close). Bullshit, I tell you. I missed lugnuts, bmw (had NO idea, but I've never owned one, so that's a disadvantage), tko (was close again), and boyscouts (had the correct answer, then changed it in a fit of indecisiveness - as we all know, a bad test-taking move).

To be a bit Timmy-ish about it, I think the distinction with the author's name is made because several other members of her family (her father) were also published authors.

At least Leslie Visser and the woman form last year (name escaping me) understood the game and seemed to have done some research. It isn't like networks looking for female sidelines reporters (if that's what they want) can't find women who understand the game. Seems like "have you ever watched football" should be their first question. If the answer is "yes, because my boyfriend realy likes it", then neg 'em. If the answer is "wtf, of course, I've been in NFL pools since I was 13, I have the dish just for the NFL package and I never make plans on Sundays during football season", then hire 'em. Voila.

Lisa Guerrero. It's like she won a contest to be there. If abc wants to promote female sports journalists, fine. If abs wants to attract male viewers with eye candy, fine. Lisa Guerrero succeeds at neither.

Serious points to you for watching (or pretending to watch, or just not interrupting during) the post-game. That makes you marriage material.

19/20. People put things on the ends of blowdryers? I am supposed to know this? I would not have known the diamond question had it not been for the FB so for that I thank you all. Looks like I am an almost perfect balance of male and female with a lean towards male -- maybe if I had longer hair I would know about this blowdryer stuff.;)

But I get extra credit for visiting her grave last fall. I'll still claim 19/20.

But after seeing RT's post I'll humbly accept 18/20. Must follow directions.

No woman (caucasian) will be able to meet this standard. Asian moms are generally stay-at-homes and their goal in life appears to be to take care of the men in the house. Cooking, cleaning, laundry, etc. They get out into the real world and when the asian-american guy says to the caucasian girl "hey honey, when you do my laundry this week, can you make sure to get the ass stains out of my shorts like my mom did? And I want chicken for dinner."

Caucasian chick says "fuck you, who do you think I am, your mother?" Even once asian guy has moved out of parents' house, he can always go back and mom will cook, clean and do laundry for him. Not many caucasian chicks will rise to that standard, nor will want to. It's not that they don't want to date caucasian chicks, it's just that caucasian chicks are usually not subservient enough for the asian-american males. Does that make sense?
This whole post is stupid, but my favorite line is: "caucasian chicks are usually not subservient enough." If I was one of those posters who responded with "lols," I would post one now.

Pretty much the same for me, though I missed teh game last night due to scheduling conflicts. I did buy my PSL for the Texans the second it was available, though, even though I lived in a different city at the time.
