I'm trying to Google a pic that can back this up, but Ellen Degeneres has a really nice rack. She's not fugly, mind you, but it's clear she didn't get her job the same way Debra Messing did.

Anybody have nudie pics of Carol Burnett? 'Cause that would really seal the deal.

Or Pitching Wedges...they look good from about 100 yards.

I thought that was a Monet - looks good from afar, but gets to be a mess close up. That's what we used to call them. I'm not hip with the lingo the kids are using these days.

Tori Spelling is not attractive enough to be a tv star, but if you saw her in a bar, you would probably think she was cute--even without 14 beers. SJP, however, is someone you would probably deny knowing (in the biblical sense) if she cane up to you in a bar in front of your friends. "Sarah? she's friends with a lawyer I work with...I see her out sometimes and we have a couple of drinks sometimes, but we're just friends...I mean...what?...what's so funny???...STFU, dude, I told you she's just a friend of mine...look, I said I didn't, but even if I did...what?...stop laughing...She DOES NOT have a fuckin' horse face....what? [turns around]...Hi Sarah. "

Ok, this is very mean and all, but if we are being mean, we used to say "good from far, far from good". Applicable to both sexes, so equal opportunity and all that.

Edited to note that I still use this expression.

FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, pay attention. I am looking for an example of a woman whose body is acclaimed -- not one that people say in passing, "nice tits," but one who people are like "wow, she's got a body that never stops, I can't think of anyone with a better body than that, they broke the mold when they made her!"

How do you manage to imagine such embarrassingly inane conversations between male friends? Did you take creative writing or something?

I didn't say a Monet had to be a woman -- in fact, in my stupid little circle in which this was a "hip" phrase, it was probably applied to men more than women.

I like yours though. It's catchy.

You don't think that "butterface" can be used to describe both men and women? Whyever not? I am oh-so-confused!

I know - I think the only one that just applies to women is butterface. Buttisface doesn't really have the same ring to it.

I look at your avatar for inspiration. Nothing says lacking in substance like a puppy in a picnic basket.

No. Is that where they taught you to forge such sharp barbs?

(edited to change moniker to avatar...because I take NCSs criticism as a threat of violence to my genitals)

I hate to say it, but in the hands of Sebastian Dangerfield,* this post would have had about a 20% chance of being abso-fucking-hilarious. Maybe this was an homage to the other 80%?

*Still credited in my mind with having invented "SJP is Roger Daltrey with tits." Except I probably would not deny having slept with Roger Daltrey.

Pete T. is hoping some youngsters aren't as forthcoming about him.

So you are heeding Jane Austen's (however unoriginal, hi Coltrane) advice to write what you know.
