May I suggest "SKIP IF YOU'RE SICK OF TM V. BILMORE" for a board motto someday.

Doesn't have to be today. It can be any day. But I don't plan on skipping.

That's why I hate PM's. Now I have no idea which six people I should be arrogant to in the future.

Fuck em. I'll just be arrogant to everybody. Inconsequential little pricks.

I love this quote..."Think of new ways to flirt with the person you've been with for a long time," said former stripper Ducky Doolittle, who has made a career of educating women about physical pleasures."

Can a stripper named Ducky really make a living?

Oh, come on, Thurgreed. You're going to make everybody jealous by letting them know you have such a list.

Because everybody on this board knows that I'm mostly right and will mostly agree with me (is that how it went?) that, naturally, I'm number one on that list. :blush:

FDA approved WARNING label...this is a joke site. It contains a humorous (yet disturbing) picture of "packaged human" complete with instructions of how to butcher a human for consumption.
You have been warned. Click away.

I will assume that now I will never make TM's top ten but oh well.

Additional warning - there is a border add that contains naked breasts. Carry on.

Edited to add that the naked breasts don't always show up for some reason. Hmmm.

I have purchased both vintage hats and bags. I've been pleased. (Particularly with the hats, but that's really about the fact that modern hats usually just suck ass.) Vintage clothing descriptions are more iffy than the hat/bag descriptions - hats and bags have obvious and easily described types of wear. If you're going the vintage clothing route (and mean to wear it), be sure the seller is a regular vintage clothing seller with high approval ratings so you can rely on the descriptions. Sometimes a vague "excellent vintage condition" is enough, sometimes it isn't.

I've also done some NTW/NWOT designer stuff. New/mint second hand designer stuff is pretty prevalent, and that seems to be a pretty reliable market. They tend to provide very detailed measurements. Some designers carry a premium, but only compared to comparable designer stuff on eBay. You can get a mint late '90s Chanel suit for $500-750. You can get hundreds of styles of new Manolos still in the box any day of the week for about $325. You can also pick up that Birkin bag RIGHT NOW for only a modest premium over the store price and no waiting list. In general, it seems a fine place to pick up vintage clothing, secondhand designer stuff at a terrific price and new designer overstock at some discount.

I've gotten a little bit of jewelry, enough to realize that the way to go on eBay is either really high end and certified, where you pay real money but can get amazing discounts below wholesale, or pretty low end, where you know you won't be disappointed for the price and might be very, very happily surprised. For middling stuff you are probably better off heading to a store so you can do the c/b/a firsthand.

wife in freezer

PHOENIX, Sept. 12 — A 75-year-old man stored his wife’s body for nearly six years in his backyard, twisted and upside down in an old freezer, because he hoped she could someday be brought back to life, authorities said.
WHEN POLICE went to Edwin Rowlette’s home after receiving a tip from his daughter, they found dozens of cats along with feces and urine inside the house. The backyard, where one of the daughter’s friends discovered the body, was cluttered with garbage, debris, insulation and furniture.
Authorities found Marcia Lynn Rowlette’s body packed in dry ice and insulation and stored along with the bodies of ten dead cats. Rowlette told police he used the cats for research.

See Thrasher, it starts like this.

Not that anyone cares...
 

My main source 'til now for vintage hats/bags (besides my dashing relatives) has been "little old lady selling her house of 50 years" tag sales. For costume jewelry, church fairs. But I am considering branching out. Thanks for the tips.

Some friends of mine run a website, and they just put together a series on being a busty babe and finding the right bras and clothes. I can relate to a lot of what they have to say so I thought I'd pass on the link.

Reel fiction beats real fiction
 

Nope. Can't agree with you there. Book was better. Same is true for The Client. I thought the movie for The Rainmaker was better. I haven't read the others, so I don't know. I'm looking forward to the upcoming Runaway Jury with John Cusack, but only because it has Cusack in it.

I can't believe you think this. The movie completely shifted the philisophical underpinnings of the book. It did retain the obvious military service for citizenship theme, but really dropped the more interesting theme of the book that explored autonomous thought versus centralized command. In the book Starship Troopers, the war boils down to individual humans highly enhanced through technology with a great deal of autonomy fighting against an insect hoard with little independant thought and a centralized command. In the movie it was just hoard against hoard. I suppose this reflects a generational shift in thought about the influence individuals can have by themselves.

Still, it was a visually stunning movie and the use of the newsclips was clever. I enjoyed it, but I had been looking forward to the visualization of the scene in the book where a single platoon of humans subdues a planet.

Not that anyone cares...
 

That's what a lot of the eBay sellers seem to be - that or small local vintage shops that bought the stuff from tag sales and church fairs. Just a much bigger tag sale.

Oddest "vintage" listing I've found on eBay: half full bottles of perfume. WTF?

Sick Friday
 

Are you so devestated by the "postponement" that you need to take out your frustration on us?

Starship troopers seemed to me one of those movies that had almost nothing to do with the book. It was as if they decided to take the concept of war, the concept of bugs and the title, and that was it.

I know a lot of people hated the movie, I enjoyed it, but I just didn't think it had any more than a passing relationship to the book, which I enjoy very much. I much prefer the book to the movie. The movie was a good, loud, gory kind of a thing. The book however examined all sorts of interesting ideas about service to country in exchange for the right to be involved in government etc etc.

Story of my life.

Reel fiction beats real fiction
 

See, that's what I thought the movie translated beautifully, albeit very differently. The theme was in fact about autonomous thought vs. central command, and they illustrated the issue by reference to the same historical moment that was Heinlin's essential reference: WWII and post WWII, and the political ideological issues and conflicts apparent in the subsequent rises of fascism and communism. To the extent the movie subverts the book's take on it (i.e.: the book toys with the idea that fascism might be both a logical result of and actually the best environment for a flourishing and successful individualism, while the movie, with it's marvelous US propaganda jokes, makes the point "the great 'individualists' who famously defeated the fascists and communists are in fact no different from the fascists - and maybe not the communists, either"), I think it does it quite validly (and necessarily) for a different generation with different political histories watching a different medium with its own different history.

I just thought it was about these cool big bugs . . .

For a 14(?) year old, he shows some serious promise. I especially like the part at the end where he says "amen," then crosses himself. That and the part where he talks bout his dad being gay, and fronting about Yen b/c he's never been to Japan. He might want to work on his look a bit, though. Not a lot of street cred.

And Caspar van Dien (I think) - that's all I took away from the movie, anyway - Starship Troopers = Blond Teutonic Guy

OK, how about this then...


Now I have another wedding to look forward to.

David Letterman
to become a dad


‘Late Show’ host, long-time girlfriend
still discussing wedding plans
Sept. 12 — David Letterman had better start thinking up a top 10 list of baby names — he’s about to become a father. While taping the “Late Show” episode that’s scheduled to air Friday night, Letterman told the audience Thursday that his girlfriend, Regina Lasko, is about six months’ pregnant.
“I HAVE AN announcement to make and I’ll be honest with you, I’m a little bit nervous. I have some trepidations about this. I feel a little silly because it’s one of those things where I thought never in my life this would happen,” the talk show host said.
“And here I am, 56, and by all rights it shouldn’t be happening. But, there’s nothing we can do about it now. And I’m terribly excited about this. I’m scared silly about this. I’m going to be a father.”
After the cheers and applause from the studio audience subsided, Letterman joked about the upside of becoming a father for the first time at his age: “By the time the child has trouble in life, you know, I’ll be dead. I’ll be long gone. By the time the kid’s out stealing cars, you know, Dad will be dead a few years.”
Letterman said he and Lasko are still discussing whether to get married.

Whole bunch of videos there

I don't see what the problem is here...
 

but apparently, filming a faux priest/bride porno in a church means the whole place has to be re-blessed:

http://www.boston.com/news/daily/12/odds_porn.htm

It's not like it was faux priest/altar boy manhandling after all...

I don't see what the problem is here...
 

"The church of San Vicenzo's seedy past came to light when a local -- watching "Il Confessionale" ("The Confessional Box") -- recognized the spot. He called in the police who, on closer study of the movie, confirmed his suspicions."


Apparently the police took a lesson from our courts. This will require some closer study of the film... Let's set up a vcr in the back room and have a look.

I don't see what the problem is here...
 

Why would the police care?

I don't see what the problem is here...
 

Well how do you explain to the police..."well, I was watching this porno....and I recognized that as my church confessional....and I think a crime was committed at my church...but you know, watching the porno wasn't the crime, but well maybe it is, but I've seen that confessional before, and I'm not going back until it's been ridden of that nastiness...that I was watching....over and over and over. Just to make sure that it was my church.

I don't see what the problem is here...
 

Did the guy who recognized the movie confess his sin of watching the movie in the same confessional? Maybe Atticus can help me here, but does that mean that all of the sacraments peformed in that church are invalidated?

I don't see what the problem is here...
 

They certainly oughta be. Why, those sinners were probably violating church law by using birth control!

I don't see what the problem is here...
 

I would think that, at that point, there would be a huge explosion - one of those "matter meets antimatter" things.

Another Harvard Revelation
 

What would we do without Harvard?

Sept. 12 — Authorities who hope to curb binge-drinking among U.S. college students should consider controlling the marketing of beer and other alcoholic beverages near campuses, a new study suggested on Friday.
RESEARCHERS FOR the Harvard School of Public Health visited 830 bars, restaurants and nightclubs, as well as 1,684 liquor stores and other retailers that sell alcohol near 118 college campuses to see if there was any correlation between drinking habits and advertising or promotions.
What they found was high rates of binge-drinking on campuses with large numbers of outlets selling beer in volume packages, such as 30-can cases, kegs and “party balls,” or bars and restaurants offering frequent price promotions.
“It’s not just the advertising dollars. It’s the five-cent and 25-cent beers, it’s the extra pitcher of beer for a penny, it’s the $5 refillable cup. It’s not simply that these things make people drink, but that they make people drink much more,” said Wechsler.
Wechsler defines binge-drinking as the consumption of five or more drinks in one sitting by a man, or four by a woman.

Wow really? You can drink more beer if it's cheaper? Wow, good study.
On the other hand...4 drinks is binging? Hmm. Then what's half a fifth? Bingebinging?

And what the hell is a party ball?

The implications for obesity are amazing! No more buffets because people eat too much. After all, second helpings are free!!!

Funny -- I hadn't given any thought to the party ball since leaving college. But think of wine in a box, except with beer, and without the box, and with a clear bag o' beer inside. There's your party ball--5 gallons of cheap, quick fun. It's a party in a ball!!

Another Harvard Revelation
 

I have never, ever seen a party ball. And I shop in the booze section quite often. Where do they sell such things?

Another Harvard Revelation
 

I think only the sorority chicks had access to the stores. I've never seen one other than already at the party.

BTW, at least we're not mormon.
