Welcome to the new new fashion thread!

Did you usurp Ty's rights? Or did calmer heads prevail and realize that all power for creation of FB threads should remain in the great state of Texas?

I thought it wasn't until 10k.

Hey, he had ten minutes to close the old thread and open a new one! Did he take the opportunity? No. I didn't want us to get any more unwieldy than necessary.

Of course I may be five years too late for that.

Revenge will be mine.


I didn't even realize that I was supposed to go and do that immediately. Damn. Thanks for having my back, ncs.

I'm not versed in the rules governing gilt sandals. The image the very words conjure is of Jaclyn Smith circa 1977 twirling on a disco floor in a diaphanous baby blue dress.

A(actually, for some reason it called to mind the image of the footrace between Atalanta and Melanion, but I figured Jaclyn Smith was more accessable)G

Green River Killer
 

Well if he did that I'm pretty sure that would have ruined the "not getting caught" portion of HIS evil plan.

Isn't it enough that he took them to work, left them in the parking lot (eww), took them out for a quickie at lunch and brought them back (eww).

There's even a section on maggots, but I'm leaving that out.

But there's more - he says that it's tough to get a hard-on with a cold body, so eventually he quit this practice.

Oh and there's the time when he went to go "visit" one of his victims in the woods and did it with her while his kid was sleeping in the truck 30 feet away.

Any better yet?

And I completely missed my personal k. It is reprinted in its entirety here, for those of you scoring at home:

I tried and it didn't work. I couldn't get the lid of the trunk shut. She packs a mighty kick for someone who's tied up.

From the way Alan Alda and Marlo Thomas so breathlessly told that story, I can imagine them falling to the floor and humping like bunnies as they finished. Phil probably watched.

Thanks to FTBU&M, I think I was the only non-sports fan in America to have heard of Rosey Grier before he took OJ's confession.

Gilded age
 

If you are suggesting that only sports fans listened to FTBU&M, well, I think you're wrong.

Carnivale
 

This is demonstrably untrue.

CDF (without you, this site wouldn't BE a freakshow)

Gilded age
 

And wrong at least twice. I thought everyone had heard of Rosey Grier. Or was familiar with the name. I don't remember it coming from FTBU&M but I know the name and am not a sports person so it must be that.

Who did the bit on the two newborns looking in their diapers?

Things I miss about NYC
 

A pro pos of nothing, I really miss Mike and the Mad Dog.

Mad Dog: Ok, this week the Giants have the Falcons.
Mike: Win.
Mad Dog: Then, at Philly
Mike: Loss.
Mad Dog: At Tampa.
Mike: Say 1-1 over those 2.
Mad Dog: Ok, 6-5. Then Buffalo
Mike: Win
Mad Dog: Home against Washington
Mike: Win. So they're 8-5. What's Dallas going to be at that point?

etc. etc. Ahhh, I miss it so.

Gilded age
 

None other than Mel Brooks. And Alan Alda definitely solidified his sensitive 70s girly-man image with "William's Doll."

Gilded age
 

Was there a chick too or did he do both voices? Did FTBU&M get discussed on the boards earlier? If not I've had some conversation about it in the not-so-distant past. Maybe I should buy it.

Edited to add it's Marlo Thomas, I looked it up.

Me? Another key lime martini sir? Charge to client, per normal? Very good then.

Or so I've heard.

Ty's K
 

Sez Ty:

It's been clear to the rest of us for a long time. Everyone but Sidd is seeing eye to eye on this one.

You're the stripper, right?

Sez Me:

Thanks for the K. Next time you're at the club, I'll give you a lapdance you won't forget.

Kisses!

It may be key lime, but it sure as hell ain't a martini.

Sigh.

Anthrax
 

Because it's what I do...

Anthrax search closes 11 post offices.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 7 — Nearly a dozen area post offices remained closed Friday while authorities tried to determine whether anthrax was found at a Navy facility that handles mail for federal agencies.
Equipment that routinely monitors the air at the Naval Automated Processing Facility in Washington indicated Wednesday the presence of “small amounts of biological pathogens, possibly anthrax,” said Rachael Sunbarger, a spokeswoman for the Department of Homeland Security.
After the initial field test, eight air samples were sent to Fort Detrick, Md., for testing, according to Lt. Cmdr. Edward Zeigler, a spokesman for the Naval District of Washington. One sample tested positive for anthrax, and seven tested negative, he said.

Do you have any close-ups of the tomato-basil?

Your hippie parents probably told you all about how Rosey was good friends with Bobby Kennedy, and that Rosey held Bobby as he lay dying in that hotel kitchen in Los Angeles in June 1968, and how RFK's death meant the death of the idea of workers, students, and blacks getting together to save the country from the horrors of Vietnam, and how the death of RFK led to the election of that bastard Nixon. Uh, or something like that.

Marlo and Mel Brooks, I think.

Green River killer
 

He does have a middle name--it's Gary Leon Ridgway.

And the part that really creeped me out was where he took a "camping" trip to Oregon with his son, with a body and a half stashed in the trunk with his son's bike. I don't even want to think about how he explained having to get stuff out of the trunk and scatter it in a wooded area.

PS We have FTBY&M, and Magnus LOVES it. We have both the book and the video, and he sings the title song to himself while reading along in the book. I'm thinking of getting the sequel.

Green River killer
 

Yes, but unless I'm not paying close enough attention the media, at least the local media, does not use all 3 names as a matter of course, as they did with John Wayne Gacy.

What is this? Am I a bad parent, other than my work induced absenteeism, because I'm not getting this reference?

Green River killer
 

Yes, but you may be able to do some remedial work if you buy your kids the 70's video and or CD of Free to Be You and Me. Amazon seems undecided as to whether there are ellipses involved in the title. Your children will learn to reject traditional gender roles, and may be lucky enough to end up just like me. You can up your chances on that by sending them to Montessori school, too.

Tax Break
 

To all who own SUVs, try to start a small business.

Nov. 7 — When Congress this year decided to allow small-business owners, doctors, lawyers and real estate salespeople to deduct up to $100,000 from their taxable income for the purchase of a luxury SUV, Texas car-dealership magnate Jerry Reynolds could hardly believe his good fortune.
HE TOOK to the radio to spread the news, drafted a treatise for the Internet, and last week, the man known around Dallas simply as “the car guy” began advertising in the Dallas Morning News. “It’s a loophole.”

Since 1997, anyone deemed to be a small-business owner for tax purposes could write off some amount of equipment purchases each year — up to $18,000 worth that first year, up to $25,000 in 2003. Since 1984, the Internal Revenue Service, thinking more about Chevy Silverado pickups than Cadillac Escalades, has considered vehicles that weigh more than 6,000 pounds to be deductible business equipment.
When lawmakers began writing this year’s $350 billion tax-cut plan, they looked for ways to help the economy by encouraging small businesses to invest in new equipment. Congress raised the maximum annual value of the deduction to $100,000, through 2005. At the time, environmentalists implored tax writers to disqualify SUVs, but lawmakers declined. With the top business tax rate at 35 percent, Washington effectively cut $18,900 from the price of a $54,000 Escalade, bringing its cost more in line with an Oldsmobile Aurora sedan.
So many new models are just over 6,000 pounds that Reynolds suspects that automakers have their eyes on the tax code. A 2003 two-wheel-drive Dodge Durango weighs 6,050 pounds.

Or other ne'er-do-wells like William Jefferson Clinton and Thomas Penfield Jackson (he's considered a criminal in your neck of the woods, no?).

The Oregonian usually does (and of course we're local to the killer, if not to you, because he stashed some bodies here).

Actually, for the past 20-some years they have always called him the "Green River Killer." That's 3.

Much obliged. I think that's worth at least a solid 5 minutes of undying gratitude, don't you?

That and the warm, fuzzy feeling of knowing that I have saved the hyphen from extinction... I can't go on... I'm getting verklempt.

If a married woman has sex with another woman, is that adultery? The New Hampshire Supreme Court says no.

This is so stupid on so many levels that I don't even know what to say.

Thanks, RT, for stepping in when Ty slept on starting the new thread.

Organ Donation
Everyone should be a donor. If you're having an open casket, you might want to think twice about donating your bones.

As for no hospital ever fighting over remains, that is untrue. I remember one case where blood and bone products were harvested by a Red Cross branch without permission, and the Red Cross fought to keep them. I don't have a cite handy, but someone in my class did research on this. This reminds me. Before donating your organs, donate blood.

Funerals
Funeral Mass. Catholic Burial. Wake. Rosary. Headstone. Nothing flashy. I like the idea of Christopher O'Riley's solo piano version of Radiohead's "Exit Music (for a film)" being worked in somewhere. Although my family is Irish Catholic, I don't think the wake will be as boisterous as those involving Aunt Mary Margaret and Aunt Margaret Mary. Most of the extended family is out of state, so I don't envision a late-night row.

Matrix Revolutions
Sucked. I wasn't expecting that it would be as good as the original, but I thought it would be better than Reloaded. More importantly, I thought that Monica Bellucci would get far more screen time in the third installment. No such luck. Criminal underuse of a gorgeous actress.

She's in one scene. That's like having Babe Ruth on your baseball team and using him only as a pinch hitter.
