Man, sometimes I wish I had a penis. So I could wave it around and scare off the little people. Also so I could pee standing up at sporting events and concerts and bars where the restrooms are really gross.

But no. I don't have a penis. NTTAWWT.

See. Things like this expose you for the mean, nasty assclown you truly are beneath your kind, compasionate facade. No fattie is going to be happy with three sausages sitting on the back of his neck. There's no way a fattie could reach them.

Would you buy an album by a person who never performed in their lives, met Mick Jagger, sang him a song and got hooked up with the right people and had an album released that was actually quite good?

The reason why I ask is because you've never heard of the guy and probably haven't heard him sing. If you're like Less and believe that his music has to suck because so many people (mostly teenagers) like him, that's one thing. But basing it on the fact that his big break came from a talent show and not some other random occurence seems strange.

Well, in anwer to your first question, yes. This would be much like going to a new restaurant based upon Charlie Trotter's recommendation. If a known master thinks well of something, you tend to give their opinion a bit or credence.

As for taking the word of the American people voting by phone or whatever. Well, let's just say that I firmly believe that Mencken was right when he said nobody ever went broke underestimating the intelligence of the American public.

However, what I meant, and I thought it was fairly clear, was that I would never buy an album by somebody based upon the fact that he won on American Idol, or some other crap show. If I heard a cut on the radio, or in a record store, or someone whose taste I know is comparable to mine said "hey, you should check this guy out," then I might buy the disc. But it wouldn't have anything to do with the fact that he was on a tv show.

So, you see...cosmetic surgery is just really expensive masturbation!
Don't go for it. Breast reduction is never the answer. At least not unless you have serious back problems.

Look at Soleil Moon Frye. At least she used to be a kinda-scary looking chick with no talent but really nice rack.

If true, you are unique. Most people either wouldn't think of American Idol as a negative (unfortunately a high percentage of people), or as such a negative they see the win as poison. The average guy (non-AI jonesed) who hears the song and likes it would still not buy it because the person selling you the CD, and the pretty girl in the car next to you at the red light, and the..., would all think you bought it because of the AI win. Most people are too shallow to go down that road. This is, I think, hypothetical because the guy does suck.

A similar phenomena is where you like an obscure band, and no one has heard of them. then they get some crap song on the radio. People see your CD's, "hey I like them, they did Crap Song."
88% of the obscure band listening country will say "I hate Crap song- I liked obscure band way before, for other reasons."

As a follow-up. I have not busted out the Clay Aiken CD. I will note that I also am now the proud owner of the Kelly Clarkson CD. Considering the facts that I don't watch AI and that both CDs were free, I have no qualms about displaying them proudly in my CD collection. Of course if I never remove the shrinkwrap, I'll never know if they are good or bad.

I've seen women pee standing up, though I've never had a frontal view of such. But I've seen them from the back, and I've heard the unmistakable sound of the flow hitting the ground. This is a completely serious post, and wisecracks about the true gender of said people are predictable and not welcome. If you go to enough co-ed soccer tournaments or other sporting events where women are outside in parks all day with disgusting port-o-potties, I'd bet you'd have seen it too. I believe that it just requires a little manipulation and a slight knee bend. Though people around here with a vulva and vagina might be more reliable sources. But based on my eyewitness testimony, and lengthy discussions on the subject with the female friends in question, I believe that (at least some) women can pee standing up, if they're willing to do a little extra work.

So I've been watching "I Love the '80s Strikes Back" on VH-1, and I'm thinking to myself, "Boy, I bet there were a lot of 'uhs' and 'uhms' from the producers when Boy George showed up for his segment shoot." Horrorshow. He looked like a fat Marilyn Manson with seagull crap running down his head.

He should go to whatever costume/cosmetic rehab clinic saved Elton John from himself in the early '90s. I'll pay.

BTW, my crush on Juliette Lewis is officially over. I'm taking nominations for the now vacant office of Comely Nymph.

Or is it something further than that? At what point does a healthy sense of ego turn into disportionate time, money, risk taking and/or narcissism?
My view is that people who have multiple surgeries and are unhappy with almost everything on their bodies are obsessed. At that point, I think mmmmm's point is a valid one. People who change their nose, cheeks, chin, breasts, stomach, ass, etc., have issues. They'll always find another problem area because they don't realize that the real problem area is in their brain.

If someone doesn't like their breasts and changes them (sensibly <-- read: not EEE) to fit with what they would prefer to look like, I don't presume that they are obsessed with their bodies. I feel the same about people who workout a lot. But note, I'm not saying that these types of people never have these issues. I'm saying that I'm hard pressed to assume that they do because of the one surgery or the hour a day they workout.

I could while away the hours
just like the Pretty Flower
Sparkin up the bong
And my nuts I'd be scratchin'
While my lust was busy hatchin'
If I only had a schlong

I'd say "hey" to every Betty
by PM or by IM
we would surely get along

With the thoughts I'd let fester
I could be another Lester
If I only had a schlong

Oh I could tell you why
men leave wet towels upon the floor
I could boink poor girls that I'd never boink before
And then I'd sleep
And boink some more

I would not be just a goil
like barely or Olive Oyl
Lip synching to Clay's song

I'd do e/o and do fringey
laugh at Hedwig's Angry Inchy
If I only had a schlong

Gosh it would be awful pleasin'
To not take the blame this season
No matter what went wrong

Then perhaps I'd make some rainin'
do some client entertainin'
If I only had a schlong

That was Jai. Was it a Paul Oakenfold CD? 'Cause it happened to me, too. I'm going to try it again with a Dirty Vegas CD to see if it works this time. I'll let you know.

I'm so glad to have learned that Kyan's real name is "Eddie." It made me sad to think that some parents somewhere gave their son a manly, rugged name like Kyan, only to see him grow up to be a hairdresser.

Do you mean Jai? I haven't seen that tip, so I have no advice for the proper table type.

In other news, the National Enquirer is reporting that <gasp> Matt Lauer did coke a few times in the 80s, putting him in the company of our distinguished leader and every yuppie who had Gorden Gecco as a hero. NBC dismisses the rumor as lies (lies I tell you!). I dismiss it as non-noteworthy.

And I see a lot more women who suddenly look 'younger', 'rested', and 'like they've been really exercising' after a week of being 'out with the flu' than men.
I had an interesting conversation with a plastic surgeon last year about men versus women and plastic surgery. One of the things that he said was that in general, men are not as articulate about what they want out of surgery as women are. I could immediately point to the top five areas I'd have done if money, risk and a general sense of cheating were eliminated from the equation, and I could explain why I don't like them and what exactly I would want done with them. According to this plastic surgeon, it takes a little while for men to be able to articulate that.

Anyhow, I know quite a few men who've had plastic surgery. Most of them are gay. (And the 23 year old who got his abs sculpted was just lazy with a sugar daddy.)

I thought it was 5'5" too, but I am happy to hear it is 5'3" cause I never could wear heels that would get me to 5'5". I have noticed that I don't feel like I am looking up at as many women now that I am wearing heels that get me to about 5'3" though.

Most men still tower over me. I have noticed by the way that over all attorneys (and drag queens) tend towards tall.

URGENT -- FB Expert Advice Needed
 
I have a friend (no, really! I do have friends, and the following requests advice for one of them) who is looking to exit gracefully and painlessly (or at least as painlessly as possible) from a quasi relationship with some dude.

They've been dating not so long (a couple of months?) and she's just not all that into him. Not unlike the situation presented here recently by another enquiring mind, the dude's birthday is this weekend and she had made plans to cook him birthday dinner. She's prepared to go through with this (the dinner thing), but thinks it's probably better to just call it off beforehand.

The question... (she acknowledges how junior-high-school this is, but whatever -- I told her I knew the perfect place to get the answer to junior-high-type questions) is, what's her "lead-in"? Just launch into "I don't want to date anymore?"

According to this site - http://www.halls.md/chart/women-height-w.htm -

"The average female American womens height is 163 to164 cm,
which is approximately 64.2 to 64.6 inches,

which is approximately 5 foot - 5 inches tall. (for white females*)."

Oddly they don't seem to make it easy to determine the overall average (including those pesky other races). Not sure why. Also, wouldn't 64.something inches be 5 foot 4 (and something)? I'm no math whiz, but something seems sketchy about those conversions.

I'm assuming barely's mother didn't buy it because he was on the show. I'm assuming she bought it because she heard him perform and liked his voice. The only connection with the show would be that that is where she heard him sing.

It just seemed to me like you were one of those "he doesn't deserve the spotlight because he won that show" types. While I think he is a shitty singer (don't like his boring ballads), I wouldn't avoid his album if I liked his songs simply because he was on the show. That's all.

And I'll help you reach those sausages if you ask nicely.

The chart goes on to suggest that 64.2 to 64.6 inches is shorter for Asian females and taller for black and Hispanic females.
