Moral Dilemma
 

OK, I'm going by memory, but I'm sure someone's out there googling this one. Bum's rush is a "quick escort" out of a place. The term bumming around comes from (I think it was the depression) when the unemployed (bums) would hang out in large groups. Police would disperse by "quickly escorting" the bums out of restaurants, bars, alleys, etc. Hence the bum's rush.

A man in Germany charged with killing and eating a gay man he met in an Internet chat room had previously "auditioned" four other potential victims, according to a magazine report.

The report in Thursday's Stern quotes investigators as saying the four "cannibalism candidates" agreed to be subjected to a physical suitability examination by their prospective killer.

Lured by Internet ads saying "I could just gobble you up", the four men - three from Germany and one from London - travelled separately to the killer's home near Kassel in central Germany.

Three of the men baulked at going through with being eaten, saying they had assumed it was an erotic role-playing game. The fourth man was rejected as "pudgy and unsexy" by the killer.

The partially devoured remains of the eventual victim, a computer analyst from Berlin, were found at the residence of the 41-year-old suspect.

Threshold of Pain

And A Real Gobbler
 

Maybe we're missing something in the translation from Germany. Just to be clear, I copied the text above, translated it into German with help from AltaVista, and then back into the English. The real story:

Attracted by saying InterNet ADS "I could devour you straight above", the four men - three from Germany and one of London - separately traveled to close main Kassel of the murderer in central Germany. Three of the men baulked with to be eaten on gone through, say were accepted them that it was a erotisches role playing play.

Much clearer.

An Early Fashionista
 

From the NY Post:

"The Kobe Bryant case brings to mind the young Chuck Berry. The rock 'n' roll pioneer, like Kobe, was good-looking, famous, wealthy - and black. Berry, who toured all over America just like an NBA player, was always afraid he'd be charged with rape after having sex with willing women who flocked to his dressing room - not to say that Kobe's accuser is in this category. But Berry protected himself with a Polaroid camera. Before he'd have sex with a fan, he'd insist she strip and pose for a photo with him, smiling with their arms around each other. If Kobe had a Polaroid shot like that, he might have a much stronger defense."

What I want to know is ... what did he say when a fan said "it's Turkey time!" to him?

Moral Dilemma
 

It was just past Hyde Park on the el. I only lived in Chicago briefly a long time ago, so I don't remember that well.

I was talking to the other (mainly) white dudes I was meeting for dinner down there.

Yeh, that was why the consensus was to not call from there, but to back off and go around the corner or something.

That was a good film. I think that Maggie Gyllenhaal should be in more movies... perhaps maybe all movies. Of course, I have the same feeling about Catherine Keener. So perhaps Maggie Gyllenhaal and Catherine Keener should divide the upcoming production schedule together... except for one or two very special films which will feature both Maggie and Catherine. These films, to no one's surprise, will be the ones competing for the Academy Award for Best Picture. The Best Actress competition, naturally, will be a two-woman race.

Damn, I forgot about Monica Bellucci. OK, ok, new rule. All movies have to have at least one of the following: Maggie, Catherine, or Monica. They'll certainly be busy, but they'll have one month off every year, when they'll be busy with me.... Because if I had just one wish, it would be for all the children of the world to hold hands and sing in a spirit of universal peace and harmony, but the logistics would just be impossible, who am I kidding... [Please someone get the Steve Martin reference.]

Oh! and I almost forgot vengeance upon my enemies! I'll have to rework my list....

Miranda Otto
 

That's now on my list. Miranda Otto was the best thing about Human Nature, better known as the film written by Charlie Kaufman that wasn't Being John Malkovich or Adaptation. She played a woman who pretended to be French to attract men. Actually for the first half of the movie you think she's French, and the Kauffman wrote her as a stereotype way. Midway through, you learn she's totally faking. Brilliant.

The sad thing was... I thought she was hotter because of the whole French thing. I was as duped as the other characters in the film.

Notcasesensitive loves reality
TV, indie rock, and Texas Hold ‘Em.
She would choose Love over money or Rob.
As a poster, she contributes her wit:
Excellent, always pithy, never lol.
She is not banished to the Land of Fu.
Notcasensitive’s brilliance overwhelms
The dumbasses who live here in Texas.
She is more charming than the Metroplex,
Houston, and all the Streets of Laredo.
What happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas.
Better legs than Gwinky, calves than Abba,
She is as beautiful as all Texas:
The bigger the hair, the closer to God.

Great, another smug, self-satisfied ass clown who's so certain that everyone in the world who doesn't fit within her standards is a lazy, undisciplined degenerate. The world doesn't have nearly enough of those.
