I think you need some noir.

There is no better occassion for a bit of the noir than Ollie Day. It's something of a holiday tradition.

What kind of clothing might this involve? Maybe the wedding dress from White Wedding?

Interesting thought. This is allegedly the "Naughty Housewife" look. Maybe it suits the occasion.

This reminds me, last night I saw the woman who designed my wedding dress. (Ironically, I saw her at a "My Divorce is Final" celebration.) She told me that she uses pictures of me in my dress all the time. WTF!?! I didn't authorize that!

Did you authorize the pictures of you out of your dress that Pony found on the milf hunter web site? Permission or no, those shots are smokin'....

My FM transmitter on my iPod shares a space with a Mexican Christian station in some parts of town, so every now and then I'll hear all sorts of moaning about the "Sangre de Cristo". I kinda like it.

Is it the iTrip transmitter? If so, you can download all the frequencies so you can pick a frequency that is not the default.

Fringey, you owe it to us to get back into the noir. Buck up, little camper, and get back on that horse.

Or, if you want to get really noir-ish, get that horse in your back[side].

You're fading in and out of coherence, but if you're asking why his name is slang, it's because "Swayze" was shorthand for "Ghost," which meant "gone" or "out." It kind of took over for "5,000."

I don't get it, "Swayze" takes longer to say or spell than any of the terms it is shorthand for. Except for "5,000," which I don't even want to guess the etymology of.

Doesn't this mean you lost a bet, or something?

Does he ever win?

To continue the Blahfest, Leinart is a whiney little bitch. It was good to see him lose, I look forward to seeing him lose more in the NFL, where he will be an average QB at best. I see him as being a sort of a Hank of the NFL - the tools are there, but he makes questionable decisions.

No way I'd waste the first pick of the draft on Bush. The espn hype machine will cause him to be overpriced. Sure, he's a great talent, but quality running backs are cheap and plentiful in the NFL. How much more per year is Bush worth over, say, LenDale White (or Samkon Gado)?

No one who saw Young in last year's Rose Bowl vs. Michigan or this year against Ohio State would be surprised by his performance against USC. What strikes me is how elusive he is for such a large guy. At 6'5" and approaching 250 pounds, he presents a big target for tacklers, and yet they always seem to miss. Add that to his poise and his arm strength, and I'd be willing as an NFL team to work on his throwing mechanics and decision-making for a year while he develops.

So my ex-husband got married over the past weekend. Somewhat unexpected news, at least from my perspective. But I'm totally fiiiiiiine with it.

After being with you, he must really like being married.

2. Doug Flutie is 5'7" and throws sidearm with a modest amount of success (a lot of success if you count the CFL for anything). There was an article yesterday (or so) comparing the defensive line of USC to the 1985 bears' line. The USC line was bigger, by a lot. And bigger even that the Patriots' DL this year. Young is 6'5". He could throw underhand and still be succesful.

There are some who count the CFL for something, especially a certain African-American quarterback who for some reason was unable to find a job in the NFL after graduating college despite being actually extremely good.

5000 = Audi 5000 = Outtie 5000 = Out of here.

It's just the ignorance of those who don't have access to the CBC. As I posted, the last Grey Cup game was very well-played and more exciting than most Superbowls. Plus the beer ads on the uniforms are nice.

It's opening day! Hoorah.
