Why not? So long as your pals aren't mixing meat with dairy...

We rescheduled a business lunch today to a surprisingly packed Indian dive where everyone could feel much better about eating lamb and chicken by pretending they were hitting the vegetarian fare.

And, are the other five "girls" basically figuring they've been eliminated once he gave "Tina Fabulous" the rose? Hey, what about "Jen Excellent" and so on? No moniker = no ring.

Wow, you really haven't been paying attention. The other girls think that they have no chance b/c he is obviously infatuated with Kirsten, and on every single date he had with the others he asked them what they thought of Kirsten. WHen they barely managed not to gag when saying her name b/c they all hate her so much, he continued to stick up for her.

I hope this show is being edited to make us think that he picks her so we are shocked when he picks someone who doesn't seem so evil. oh wait, they are all evil. or pathetic.

Perhaps the site has jumped the shark?

I will pass that along, verbatim. We're really just friendly acquaintances, so I may not be able to effect change.

The popups make it just like reading the Washington Post online.

And while we're talking about Internet annoyances, have any other hotmail users out there noticed that the amount of porn spam, and general spam, in your junk mail folder increased dramatically (like, from 1 or 2 a day to 10 or 20) following the rollout of MSN 8, with advanced spam control?

Me smell something stinky.

Ahh, so that's where the quintuplets went. Drat, I can't get it (and I really need a good laugh today).

Very few people here. I think everyone was out late last night and didn't have time to shower this morning, no bad outfits but everyone, it seems, has overdone it on the cologne/perfume. Ugh!

Hey, Thurgreed's mother called -- she wants her sweet demeanor back.

Now I have the Jonathan Richmnd tune running through my head. "I'm a little dinosaur, I'm a little dinosaur, I'm a little dinosaur and I'm planning to go away." Has anyone seen the Ice Cream Man?

Ethical question of the day: If your boyfriend is out of town, is it cheating to have intercourse with your dog? (Dan Savage doesn't get letters this good.)

I just found out that they launched a craigslist in Houston. Woo hoo! I can't even begin to list the number of things that I got off of that resource when I lived in the Bay Area. This is great.

I dunno. But the dog is clearly a cheap whore for sleeping with another man's woman.

Until today, I had thought that Good Friday and Passover always fell on the same day. Although the first Good Friday did, different calendars are used to determine the dates, so they only rarely match up. Look here Some sort of Interfaith website that explains the whole Passover/Easter timing.

I'm a lapsed Catholic too, but fish and chips sounds good. "Since that has less calories cause it's fish....I'm trying to watch my calorie intake."

I didn't watch the Bachelor, but he asked a woman what her favorite chain restaurant is, he shouldn't be surprised when he gets an unpalatable answer. What's the "right" answer to that question? Applebee's? The Sizzler? Denny's?

Oh, and if Casablanca has to be remade, I'd like to see Naomi Watts in the female lead. The titilation in Mulholland Dr. obscured her ferocious acting ability.

They don't send lapsed Catholics to Hell, do they?

A date with otherwise excellent taste took me to Red Lobster on a date.

Throughout the whole meal, I was convinced it was a joke.

It was not.

She WAS mulletted. A bright red teased-up mullet.

Of course I know what goes with a mullet:

New white tank top tucks
Neatly into tight black jeans
Redneck romeo

That qualifies hands down as the oddest advice column I have ever read. Hard to believe that the columnist took her seriously instead of assuming (rightly so, I'd guess) that it was some 14 year old boy having fun at his expense. Are this guys other columns this weird? If so, I might have a new advice column to read!

On a related note, I read Dan Savage's new book recently (Skipping Towards Gomorrah) and loved it. The premise was that he set out to commit each of the 7 deadly sins (and traveling across the country doing so on his publisher's dime).

That's for damn sure. The problem I have with it is that it takes ten minutes of material and fluffs it up to 2 hours. So I read the paper or something while watching, and miss out on all the contestant speculation. I could have sworn all the dates (group and alone) had been completed in the first hour. But I was wrong. How does ABC do it? They need to make it confusing, like Alias, so I'll pay attention.

Bring on Temptation Island.

Reading comprehension is a lost art. Read my post again. She asked HIM what his favorite chain restaurant was.
