How about Russell Crowe for Haddock? Word has it he already has the sailor smell down.

What about Geriatrix?
 

I thought we confirmed that he was legal? If we go to hell for lusting over him, then we will be in good company b/c there'll be millions of guys with us who all lust[ed] after Britney.


Edited to add that reading ahead is for suckers.

What about Geriatrix?
 

Yes yes yes yes yes yes yes. When I finally watched the first Harry Potter movie on HBO a few months ago (yes, I am waaay behind--just never thought I would be interested in that kind of movie) I was like, "Wow, my face is getting a little warm--this kid is a complete hottie. I wondered to myself whether TWAWWT."

A Mighty Wind
 

An excerpt from the excellent New York Times review:

"After seeing Mitch and Mickey, the legendary folk-music duo of the 1960's, reunite on the stage of Town Hall to perform their signature tune, 'A Kiss at the End of the Rainbow,' I wanted nothing so much as to go out to the garage and dig out some of their old LP's, just for old times' sake," writes A. O. Scott in The Times. "The only problem is that these dewy-eyed singers never existed.

"'A Mighty Wind,' Christopher Guest's latest trompe l'oeil satire (following 'Waiting for Guffman' and 'Best in Show') almost makes you believe that Mitch and Mickey (Eugene Levy and Catherine O'Hara, above) were real, which is an impressive stunt. More than that, it makes you almost wish that they were, which is something of a miracle. "

Minister of Info
 

Now you can have your very own Minister of Information.

http://store1.yimg.com/I/herobuilders_1737_108954

A talking action figure, with sayings like:

"There are no American infidels in Baghdad. Never!"
"Our initial assessment is that they will all die"
"No I am not scared and neither should you be!"
"We have given them a sour taste"
"They're not even [within] 100 miles [of Baghdad]"

I bet they're selling like hotcakes at: http://herobuilders.com/

I've already bought one for a friend.

Y'know what I'd pay serious money on EBay for, is one of those stupid Barbies that said "Math class is hard!" that was vandalized by guerrilla feminists and replaced on toy store shelves with a new GI Joe chip so they said stuff like "I'm going to blow your head off!"

The Worst Business Meeting Ever
 

Gothic Ordeal for Investor Kept 28 Hours in Crawl Space
By N. R. KLEINFIELD

It was a Poe story set on Chambers Street.

An ordinary business meeting between two men veered into vitriol. At knifepoint, the authorities said, one of the men was bound and gagged by the other, and then imprisoned in the claustrophobic space beneath the floorboards of an apartment.

As time ticked slowly away, he wrestled free of his bindings and tapped against the floor with a pipe. No one heard. No one came. Only after 28 hours trapped in this netherspace, with no food or water, was he able to pry his way out.

The Worst Business Meeting Ever
 

Is it bad that I think that 28 hours in a crawlspace would be better and more relaxing than most days at work? Perhaps a sign that I should be looking for a new job.

What about Geriatrix?
 

I think every girl who has seen the movie thinks the same, except that no one ever talks about it. He is soooo cute.

Um, hello?
 

Where is everyone? It's Friday, and I'm looking for some serious bitchslapping.

Here's a Friday question: What's the worst thing that someone else in your office is wearing? I've been on a conference call with my door closed for two hours, so I'm going to have to do some investigating before I can answer.

Um, hello?
 

It is Good Friday, and I have the day off. I imagine other people do too. It is also Passover.

And I cannot believe you are such a heathen you want to bash people on this very holy day.

Fucking Jackass :P

Um, hello?
 

Ah, right. I was wondering where everyone else on my call was. Two hours of talking to myself. We Zoroastrians should have a holiday today, too, and then I wouldn't feel left out.

Um, hello?
 

The cosmic convergence of Passover and Good Friday have left only us heathens on the board, apparently.

(Which, come to think of it, should result in more bitchslapping, not less.)

Atrocities Against Style
 

Liver-colored Birkenstock suede sandals with white calf-high athletic socks. God!

And while we're at it, a tatty Stop-n-Shop bag with a wallet and a hairbrush in it does NOT constitute a handbag.

Um, hello?
 

I actually celebrate both, and am only at work today so I can't be at home demolishing both the rest of the matzoh and the stash of Marshmallow Peeps.

Dude, I am loving the avatar. Super cute. The way it just keeps running and running! It's like, yo little dinosaur dude, you keep running, but you're getting nowhere! ;)

Great location, too. Under the earth's sun! Dude, me too! Ha! Does that still apply when it is night? I gues you are still "under" the sun in a way, depending on how you define "under." Whoa! Trippy! BTW, keep up the good work on the politics board. I cannot wait to scroll over there and check out the latest TS/JFF debate. Merciless! :D

Tommy Lee Cleared I thought for sure he would get hit with a judgment, but what do I know?

For the poll, my legal assistant is wearing this low-cut hootchie top and her boobs are damn near falling out (it's jeans day, so jeans as well). I am wearing baggy khakis, a not-ratty-T-shirt and a man's button-down over it...not tucked in. I may be the biggest fashion faux pas here, but I'm comfy and don't give a shit....especially since these clothes are better for kneeling in front of the toilet than my usual garb - same goes for the pony-tail.

I should add that no clients can be found within miles of the office today and the rest of the office has gone out for seafood except me, since I can't stomach the thought, so I am answering the phones. I have had two clients call in who didn't recognize my "secretary voice" so I took a message for myself and told them "she" will call back on Monday. ;)

Edited for spelling

Um, hello?

Funny, now that the "street meaning" of the word "peeps" has permeated our popular culture, those little marshmallow creatures have taken on a whole new aura for me.

So just because Sidd's momma called me to say she was on her hands and knees gobbling up my peeps, I don't have to worry about my candy being missing? Good, because I like those little marhmallow chicks.

Heh. Incidentally, this is the 50th anniversary of the Marshmallow Peep. There's a Peep Bus touring the country in celebration.

This is what I learned from the Internet this week.

I recall it being "Math is hard, let's go shopping."

Question: Would you go to see a concert titled "McSweeney vs. They Might Be Giants?" Oh yeah, Foo Fighters + Transplants + good seats = good times. Hearing Everlong, Learn to Fly, This is a Call, My Hero, Breakout, All My Life and others performed live last night made me want to call up everyone who claimed that nothing from the contemporary rock era will stand the test of time and let them hear what I was hearing.

One more illusion shattered
 

Try as I might, I cannot picture Felicity Huffman in a housecoat.

Let me call Sabrina Lloyd to come do this for you.

One more illusion shattered
 

That's the nicest thing anybody's said to me all day. I do not actually own a housecoat. No shattering here.

Poor Sabrina Lloyd; first dumped by Jeremy (but at least it was for a hottie, if I remember correctly), then dumped by Ed (for an increasingly haggard looking Carol). Oh, the humanity!

She needs a better agent, hairdresser, and personal shopper.

Edited to add - I do not watch Ed and did not watch it last Friday. I read that he dumped her in the Washington Post, which also described the Ed and Carol finally get together ep as the "jump the shark episode."

And now allow me to make a shameless plug for a friend, although I do believe this has been discussed on the FB before.

MBA
 

I know it's not this board's favorite show in the world, but I can't believe that NOBODY wrote about the MBA finale on Monday. FWIW, I think that Tony's ditching Billie Jean at the altar was way better than the alternative, which was to go through with it and be a passive aggressive asshole for the next 18 months until the messy divorce. And what about her friend, Angry Mullet Man? That guy is an all time great Reality-TV personality. I gotta say, he was right that the classy thing to do would have been to tip BJ off and let her say "no." But classy and this show don't exactly go hand in hand.

By the way, yesterday's papers were full of talk about Fox's big summer show, Paradise Hotel. Here's the premise. 12 hot singles living in a resort. Lots of hooking up, etc. etc. Nothing new there. Every week, the 12 singles vote one person off. Nothing new there.

HOWEVER,

Viewers at home can call in to get a spot in the studio audience. For every cast member that gets kicked off, that week's studio audience competes for the vacant spot. Someone from the audience will replace the booted person in the cast. So the cast stays at 12, with a fresh face each week. The articles I read left it vague whether the show was planned for a limited run or would go in perpetuity. The format sounds like a winner to me.

str(but how do they make sure the incoming person is a hottie)8

Before that she was dumped by Jerry O'Connell's character on Sliders.

The Bachelor
 

The highlight was when Andrew the multimillionaire tool was on a date with Amber, the drunk sorority-slut (who turned out to be not so slutty since she was the only girl who wouldn't let him put his tongue in her mouth) and she asked him what his favorite chain restaurant is.

Before he could answer, she said "I love the Olive Garden." Andrew's disgusted response: "I don't like the Olive Garden". So Amber comes back with "so you don't like Italian food?" Andrew: "No, I love Italian food, I just don't like The Olive Garden."

This is why this show is so ridiculous. they are purportedly trying to find a suitable wife for an heir, and they pair him up with a woman whose favorite dining experience is The Olive Garden and who thinks that anybody who doesn't like the Olive Garden must therefore hate Italian food.

ok, that probably sounds snotty and maybe there are tons of millionaires out there who LOVE The Olive Garden, but the scene was still hilarious.

The Bachelor
 

I hear they have good wine at the Olive Garden. Nothing too grapey.

The Bachelor
 

but do they have good nookie?


oh, and for the person who commented on MBA (yes, I'm too lazy to go back and look), the contestants signed contracts saying they would walk down the aisle if they didn't get kicked off by the panel of "experts" so Tony couldn't have called it quits before the "wedding". But he probably could have at least warned her about he was going to say so that she wouldn't have looked so pathetic (and maybe given her the opportunity to turn him down first at the altar). I think that's why Fox separated the couples for a couple of days before the wedding, so they couldn't warn each other that they weren't going to go through with it.

Um, hello?
 

Here's the worst getup in my office today:

Teased up red hair, thick eyeliner and glasses on a gold chain. Tiger print half-caftan over jeans and (what else) black cowboy boots. Did I mention gum popping? And the pen with a pink fuzzy on the end of it?

Kinda like Golden Girls meet Elvira.

AM(no, it's not me)

MBA
 

There were a few comments here the day after (or maybe the night of, I don't remember). Consensus seemed to be Tony was a pud and the other couple's "engagement" won't last.

The Bachelor
 

Reminds me of the Jenny Jones Show where a woman was arguing with her family, who claimed that her bf was bad for her. The quote -- "My boyfriend is GOOD to me! He takes me to The Olive Garden."

She probably was not dating a Firestone heir.

n(just a guess)cs

Editted to fix spelling and to say that secretly I kind of like Olive Garden when I am forced to go to it while visiting relatives (they live in chain-restaurant only locales). :rolleyes:
