OK, so I'm trying to open a stupid bottle of Snapple, and there's a NEW and IMPROVED cellophane seal around the top. In the past, the perforations were close together and you could actually tear on the 2 perforations. NOW the perforations are exactly 180 from one another thus making a clean tear nearly impossible and leaving irritating cellophane on the neck when you drink.
Then I try to open a bag of Kettle Chips. Anyone ever successful in opening a bag of these satanic snacks without completely ruining the bag and crushing the chips? NO!
What is with the packaging on food anymore? And when did Snapple get to be like $2 a bottle?

Edited to add gook is a slur no matter how you pronounce it.

Not true. It's only a slur when it's pronounced like duke. Saying it's a slur when pronounced like book is like saying the word dyke is always a slur, when it clearly has more than one meaning...

Maybe in the future we should all just stick to sploogable or jizzable, just to limit the complaints to misogyny instead of racism.

Getting back to the list, I have to agree on Kirsten Dunst, although she is certainly plenty fine. Just not a superhottie. Overrated. Further concurrance on Heidi Klum.

Jennifer Love Hewitt does have a solid rack, but the face just seems weaselly.

I've never been that impressed by Carmen Electra, but maybe she's just been tainted by the whole Dennis Rodman thing.

Tiffani Amber Thiessen

This debate could go on indefinitely.

Good thing, too. You just narrowly avoided having paigow accuse you of having a Latina fetish.

Update your decoder rings appropriately.

Attraction to Latoya = fetish
Attraction to Latina = non-fetish

The analogy would work better if the young Amsterdamer stuck his finger in a dyke (NTTAWWT), not a dike.

Good point.

When I read "young Amsterdamer", I immediately pictured Uter:

Even though he's German...

This week really took the cake--you absolutely must see it. I won't spoil it beyond what I already did--Frederick actually sits there and sucks his thumb as Puffy explains what the group needs to do. Obnoxious.

I'm glad we can be both.

As I said previously, an intense desire not to have children, coupled with an intense desire to avoid any responsibility whatsoever for contraception, means you should get yourself a nice Jewish girl.

Of your list of potential soulmates, Hayek sounds most likely to be Jewish. A few perfunctory Google searches tell me she won the Nobel Prize in Economics, which is close enough. (I hope her monetary theory was better than her acting in "Dogma." Kevin Smith probably didn't have the brains to really show off her monetary theory. He's so overrated.)

Hell no. She had a look on her face like she hadn't been fucked in a year.

bitch please. Two different things entirely. Two words which happened to be spelled the same way, albeit pronounced differently. One is a slur, the other isn't. If you checked the etymolgy (sp), you'd find that they're derived from different places.

My quick dictionary check says:

Gook:

noun: a disparaging term for an Asian person (especially for North Vietnamese soldiers in the Vietnam War)

noun: any thick messy substance

Merriam Websters says...
gook...usually disparaging : a nonwhite or non-American person; specifically : ASIAN (any asian)

gook...variant of GUCK, oozy sloppy dirt or debris;

yeah, that is in dictionary.com. more interesting to me is that after the disparaging term definition, it says [syn: slant-eye]. Who knew dictionary.com would give synonyms for offensive terms? Live and learn.

Wow - that's scary.
Next question...is it giz, or jizz or gizz, or gism, or jism?
