[Good article by the Culture Guy from the QE pilot. Still doesn't explain Blair and his disappearance from the show though.]

in other reality tv news --

A year and a half after the finale of Temptation Island 2, the show returns on FOX tonight at 8 p.m. ET. Mark L. Walberg hosts as four couples have their relationships tested by the singles. The singles, one reviewer says, "are only moderately good-looking, with personalities ranging from lackluster to utterly obnoxious." argues that "if you want to wallow in the discomfort of others [the show] ... will afford you that pleasure in every segment." The show's already being protested by Morality in Media.


I love wallowing in the discomfort of others!!

Since I spent hours on the web fruitlessly trying to find R.E.M's song about shiny, happy monsters, I am very excited. Woo-hoo!

Bonus points if this includes Little Richard's version of Itsy Bitsy Spider.

It's available at Amazon* ($44.99). No Little Richard tunes.

This site cult sirens (it is okay for viewing at work) is on an equal par with the gallery of women in spacesuits.

And, I finally saw Bowling For Columbine last night. In my case, Moore is obviously preaching to the converted, but, nonetheless, he does an excellent job of deconstructing gun ownership and its various connections to "white fear."

The hottest man in the world

Thanks. That's better than the silver one I used to use, although now I feel like Stanford on SATC.

You have lots of slots.

Edited to make it rhyme more.

He's Bosnian, but has applied for citizenship.

There was a pink one too, and something called blue lavender. Which confused me, because it wasn't actually lavender, it was blue. Perhaps blue is the new lavender?

Thank you for posting pictures small enough to keep the margins intact.

Mardy Fish is Bosnian? Are you thinking of Delic? Who lost to Sargsian? With the cutest babyface ever? I wouldnt mind teaching him a thing or two.

Apparently I'll have to send my mentee to remedial slang class.

She uses triflin' in the context of having nothing going on so she's safe there. And things having jumped the shark probably don't matter in Minneapolis for awhile.

Triflin' has other meanings. Why don't you check out http://www.urbandictionary.com?

Originally posted by Fugee But the definitions of pimpin' and chickenhead don't quite fit although maybe she uses pimpin' in a gender neutral context for a player. She described it to me by reference to the excessive (IMHO but obviously not hers) number of chains she was wearing so I thought it had something to do with that. And the kids yell "Holla back pimpin" to each other in the halls and don't get into fights for it.

That makes no sense. "Holla back" can mean "let me know what's up with you" or "talk to you later" in that context. And "Pimpin" would make sense as a response. But the two don't go together like that. Minesota. Whatever.

Originally posted by Fugee Her definition of chickenhead is the farthest from the ones posted here. She sometimes calls her little brother a chickenhead so I thought it was like calling him a dope.

I don't think she knows what it means, although the term may have evolved into meaning any dumb person. I never hear it used on guys. She's probably been called a chickenhead and inferred that it was something negative, but doesn't know how to use it.

Lots of slots come in handy. Sometimes I have company.

Don't forget, early voting on the 22 proposed amendments to the TX constitution starts today!

Handy-dandy list of proposed amendments, along with explanations and pros/cons: http://www.lwvtexas.org/pdfs/TXVG0903_Engl.pdf

Listing of county websites, at least some of which have early voting location information: http://www.sos.state.tx.us/elections...s.shtml#County

For some reason I'm feeling civic today. Too bad it's not civil instead.
