No, but I did catch Kevin Hill on UPN over the weekend.

I have no idea whether or not the show is well-written, has interesting plotlines, or how many other characters there are. I do know that Taye Diggs' character is a snappy dresser both in and out of the office.

This dog rocks. The Displaced Dog wouldn't bother to let out his buddies. The Puppy probably would, but she'd get distracted halfway through.

I was all set to wear either a burqa or a rabbit costume this Halloween, until at dinner yesterday my sister told my wife how cute a "German beer wench" outfit would be.

Now I'm wearing leiderhosen and a German hat and vest to match my wife's new fraulein outfit. I'm going to look like a fucking idiot - those costumes only work on short fat guys or Beastie Boys.

Lederhosen. Leder = leather auf Deutsch

Although sounds like both are apt if you are not short and fat or a Beastie Boy.

edited to note that I liked Desparate Housewives. And, if I had my druthers, I would choose Teri Hatcher over Nicollette Sheridan any day. My husband concurs.

Mrs. Not Bob and I also enjoyed Desperate Housewives. She didn't mention who she would choose between Terri and Nicolette, but I silently cheered for Terri. And the former model trophy wife.

And, apropos of nothing, I now have an image of sebby in lederhosen singing "Eidelweiss," a la Captain von Tripp.

Bentley Question

I was milling about a car dealership with my wife over the weekend when I came across an early 90s Bentley with low miles on it being sold for $35k. I think one could easily negotiate it down to $30k. Its a really pretty car, and the dealer just wants to get rid of it (got it from some kid who inherited it and traded it in on a Benz).

I don't drive too much and got to thinking "Fuck, that would be a fun car to have, and I wouldn't put too many miles on it..." I got to drinking with a buddy later that night and told him about the car and he said "Why wouldn't you buy it?" I said "You'd look absurd." He told me I was a chickenshit. Now, of course, I won't be buying the car for a variety of practical reasons, but it led to me to think "Why not?" I mean, really, if you could grab a nice ride like that, why not get it? Or does a used Bentley say the same thing as a used Porsche/Ferrari (i.e., overcompensating)?

It is really a gorgeous car.

I know the guy who drives this Bentley:



He's in his early 40s, owns the local (successful) microbrewery, and he pulls it off quite well. Some people think he's a prick, but I think that's independent of the car.

Dunno about little Nicole, but Teri Hatcher's window has been shut for years. It was open for 2 Days in the Valley.

Thats a classic car. Looks like Lennon's car that was sold at auction some years back.

I'm just talking about a standard sedan - black with tan interior.

This from the cat who slams Minis because of the "image" it supposedly conveys? Yeah, go ahead and buy the Bentley. Make sure you've got enough left to buy the 20s for it, though. 'Cause if you ain't runnin' with 20s, you ain't a playa.
