That's cheating.

Friends finale
 

Aside from the questions raised in your post (what's going to happen will Joey & Caitlin be able to make it work?) I have the following questions.

1) Will Spinner learn to act?
2) Can somebody shoot Liberty, for her own good?
3) What ever happened to Ellie?
4) Can Jimmy and Ashley make a suicide pact and drown themselves in Lake Ontario?
5) Can Manny come over and play?

Speaking of our Northern Neighbor, why is it all of Canada has a reputation as a total fucking tundra for much of the year, when we don't hear the same things about South Africa or the southern tip of South America which superficially look like they have the same polar proximity? Someone in Canadian PR is asleep at the switch, I tell you what. I'd be afraid to go to Manitoba in January, and it can't possibly be closer to its nearest pole than, say, Johannesburg, which is worth avoiding for quite different reasons but always seems, um, tropical by comparison to Victoria, Toronto and Regina.

Jo-burg is much closer to the ocean than Regina is. The wind has many, many kilometers to get nasty as it whips down to Regina.

New York and SF are at about the same latitude yet have very different weather. Talk amongst yourselves.

Johannesburg is only about 35 degrees south latitude (like Santa Barbara, Albuquerque, Memphis, Charlotte) whereas Winnipeg and Regina are about 50 degrees north. Buenos Aires is about 40 degrees (like Philadelphia).

You're right, Ty, that proximity to the ocean can make a big difference--Portland and Minneapolis are both at about 45 degrees north latitude, but the difference in climate is considerable. Ocean currents and the jet stream also have a non-negligible effect--that's partly why Europe is warmer than it should be based on its latitude, and Portland is also considerably warmer than, say, Bangor or Halifax (also at 45 degrees, but coastal).

Apparently there's something to this whole pussy-whipped thing, science-wise.
 

you take the one or two examples from your life and extrapolate that all Mediterranean women are hirsute, be they Italian, greek, Jews etc. right?

Why don't you try and expand your sample, say ask whoever is banging Eva Silverstein....

Hank, love ya babe, but you really need to get some new material. Or at least a new picture of your dream girl.

my goal for the new year= work 50% of Atticus' threads into an Eva tie-in. But note, only 50%- example, while the door was wide open, in deference to Eva's doctorate, I didn't work her into AG's anal probe post on Politics.

ETA: Note- we all have undergraduate degrees. I assume you all have some understanding of Physics and Physicists. Hello! Einstein, Bohr, Silverstein. I do not post Eva info as some nfh clone posting that which anyone who reads should know already.

No! My Eva posts are meant as a rhetorical tool, challenging us all to move beyond the shallow stereotypes put forth by the likes of Atticus, and asking :
Why not a hot physicist?

Why not a non-bearded semite woman?

Whose is this Atticus to force such stereotypes into my pyche?

Not a bad list, but too many newer movies perhaps.

Tablecloths
 

[rant]How can a restaurant* be considered "upscale" if it spreads white butcher paper over its white linen tablecloths?!

I'm surprised that they didn't give us matching white paper napkins.

Perhaps I should bring my crayons next time so that I may make proper use of their fine butcher paper.[/rant]



* This restaurant scores in the upper 20s on the Zagat survey for its locale. If they are going to charge about $75 per person for dinner, I would think that the cost of laundering our tablecloth would be included.

Not having reviewed all the posts, do I correctly see that this discussion has trumped the Maxim Hot 100? Shame. A much better read than the American Way Glen Close Bulgaria issue as well.
