to paraphrase C. buk. People have voted a certain way for far worse reasons.

Someone (Wonk?) mentioned this notorious book from the 50s awhile back. I saw one at an estate sale a month ago and bought it. Finally got around to reading it last night.

The guys who wrote it must have been laughing their asses off the entire time. That and stoned. It's like they wrote down a list of sexual taboos then dreamed up the most rEdiculous scenarios for each of them. I need to read "Candide" to figure out parts of it -- particularly when Candy goes to work with the "Crackers" in a deep mine in northern Minnesota.

Was anyone else wishing Victoria would have hurled on Jonathan?

5. Sorry, Flinty.

6. Ass-fucking.

Apparently they'll win two, including, as you say, THE BIG ONE. Everyone can sing along to the omnipresent theme song: "This . . . is the only song we know . . . and we play it all the time." (Repeat *100)

Ah I love making USC jokes as if I'm from here, as if I'm a Bruin . . .

I couldn't get the link to work, but I did agree with this from the main page of the site:

Chicks with glasses are teh hotsex.

Concur. If you look like Lisa Loeb, Tina Fey, or Rachael Harris, call me.

Man calls every media outlet he knows to complain that the Disney-authored video game he gave to his seven-year-old daughter contains the phrase "Fuck off and die." Pontificates as follows: "I don't say this word in front of my daughter - and I don't expect Disney games to contain it either."

So what word do you think he said in front of his daughter when it came out that the phrase only appears in the pirated version?

Anybody who wasn't familiar with Lust for Life due to Carnival's 24/7 ads probably rediscovered the song after Jet ripped their hit, "Are You Gonna Gonna be My Girl" as directly and unimaginatively as possible from it. So I'm pretty fuck fucking sure that everyone on this thread knows the "I've had it in the ear line" pretty well.

Some who read FHM probably even know the obscure slang the line refers to.

Fuck the bowls. Just fuck the bowls. I'm not saying USC didn't deserve it. They probably would have crucified Auburn, but fuck the bowl system. The day I waste 3 hrs watching USC and OK duke it out is the day I admit Camus was right and step in front of a fucking bus.

How nice to see you have a soul. There is hope.

Now fetch me a piece about Clooney's charity work. They say he'll be doing an appearance in Phuket next week.

I need a good cry.

Your re line is inaccurate - thats actually a bluff.

Anon because I really am not looking for a way to dump my SO/spouse, and if I posted as myself, all of the practical advice that the FB is known for would be lost in the "hey, now you can date coltrane/gwink/wonk!" comments.

My 20 year old niece has been dating this guy for a while, but she thinks that things are too serious, and wants to break it off. She's tried to suggest to her slightly older boyfriend that they take a break, and he just freaks out. "How can you do this? You just want to hurt me," blah blah blah. His school is about 4 or 5 hours from hers, and they see each other most weekends.

She told me that she likes him, that she doesn't want to hurt him, that maybe he's the one, but that she feels like she is too young to be this serious. She asked me for advice on how to break it off. I told her that when I was her age, I used to simply sleep with my boyfriend's/girlfriend's roommate, and arrange to be "caught." She thought I was joking.

Any advice?

Tell her to not "try to" suggest anything. Tell her to tell him, "I need some time. If we are meant to be we will end up together but stop pushing it." Tell her to go fuck a lot of people (either at the same time or individually).

It seems as though she is trying to spare his feelings and he is trying to manipulate her. Tell her to get out NOW.

Seriously though, I think you're way off. Lafawnda comes off very well in the movie. She likes Kip for who he is, not what he looks like, and in the process helps him discover new cultures, to which he in turn is open. Moreover, are you really saying that Pedro Sanchez isn't a good character? C'mon, really? He's totally sweet, in every sense. And I think you missed the joke that the brothers, while scary LOOKING, are actually really nice guys who help out in a big way.

I think one of the "messages" of the movie is that you have to look past the superficial, and there's more to people than might first appear. And that when you learn to dance, amazing things can happen. And that Grandma says to stop eating all our steaks and ruining peoples' lives.

Yeah, maybe. It just seemed to me that they really played into the stereotypes -- especially with Lafwanda. Sure, we viewers like her. But the "hooker with the heart of gold" comes off well in her movie roles, too.

Whatever. Maybe Hank's right, and I am just too PC.
