Funny that. I thought you always portrayed yourself here as female.

Crap. I had y'all going there for a while, didn't I?

AdL's wife is out - she has metal tongs. Horrible accident involving a defective gas powered vibrator.

You'd ne amazed what they're doing with prothestetics these days. Oh, but then you already know that, don't you?

The best example of true love I've ever experienced is letting someone sleep in my bed three hours after I've caught her chewing on my favorite pair of shoes.

But that's the next day in dog years.

Elvis Costello and the Imposters were just added to the ACL line up, along with the Neville Brothers and Henry Butler.

Amazing how many of us can pull this off.
Next you'll get a drunken Hank rant about your maleness - good times.

In other news...tanning may be addicting.

TANNING ADDICTION
A study at Wake Forest University Baptist Medical Center suggests the endorphin producing mood associated with tanning and ultraviolet light may be addicting. The man behind the study is Wake Forest dermatologist Dr. Steve Feldman.

So George Hamilton is the happiest guy on earth?

The new Ikea store in Bloomington opened this morning with Swedish dancing, Swedish song and Swedish meatballs as about 2,000 devoted shoppers lined up outside the doors before the store opened for the first time.

''I've never done a crazy thing in my life, and this is probably the last one," said Carl Aasen, 30, of Minneapolis, the first in line."

The mere contemplation of the horrible emptiness that is Carl Aasen's life makes me unspeakably sad.

I moved to the Bay Area around the time the Emeryville store opened there. You would have thought that it was a new Disney theme park. Buying a CD rack took nearly three hours of waiting in line.

I'm somewhat shocked, in retrospect, that most of the dot.com boom happened with no Ikea within 300 miles of the Bay Area.

This is shocking. I knew Minnesota was boring, I've seen Fargo twice, but reading this I understand why bilmore was so strident about starting to live his life more aggressively.

That's a weird photo. The way they're standing, combined with the way the shadows fall, makes it look like they are sharing a nose.

And yet you waited in line for a CD rack. If there's not a ride on Space Mountain at the end of the line, I'm not going to stand in it. I don't need anything that bad.
It's like going to the Nordstroms Half-Yearly Thing. If I have to stand in line to try something on, I'm not buying it.

Actually, it makes me feel pretty good.

Unlike you, I am obviously a narcissist with little empathy.

Hi fashionistas. Does anyone know the proper name of the type of skirt that is long, and is really unevenly hemmed at the bottom? For example, it's kind of like a handkerchief in that the front of it comes down in a point, and on the sides it is short, and then kind of goes around at different heights. I just saw a gal wearing one and she said she got it at Lord and Taylor (unfortunately, no place to buy from L&T online) and it was ADORABLE. So feminine with a sexy pair of strappy shoes. I've already bothered her enough and short of grabbing the back of her skirt and yanking it open to peak down to see the tag (same method used to check for poos in Viet Babe's diaper), I have no further info. It was a burgundyish color, maybe paisley. Maybe it was just cute because she is really thin and tan, but still I'd like to find it.

Indeed. In his case, it's far less obvious.

I haven't seen such a skirt but I suspect your "maybe" thought is correct.
