Well, in one particular case they're looking into decapitating someone and hoping that she lives to tell the tale.

Making the ever popular lie "Oh! What a cute baby!" even more difficult to pull off with a straight face.

Which leads to a poll: what's the worst walk of shame you have either been a part of or witnessed?

I did the walk of shame at around 9 am in a very skimpy evening dress once (no coat or anything to cover up with) and my walk took me past Maple Leaf Gardens which, as str8 will confirm, is very close, if not part of the main hooker drag in Toronto. Being really hung over and sort of forgetting where I was, I was walking pretty slowly and not one, but TWO cars pulled over. I totally tore a strip off one of the drivers. Not happy. I was trying to get a cab because I didn't want to get on the subway and all the drivers seemed to have gone on strike that day. Thankfully I soon ended up in the gay ghetto and was not surprisingly left alone.

Not quite the walk of shame, but a very close friend of mine's boyfriend took every single item of clothing out of her room the night before her birthday. She spent most of that morning in a sheet walking around our college looking for some evidence of her clothes.

I used to live in a town where it was not uncommon to see several people in tuxedos and evening gowns at five in the morning stumbling back to where ever it is that they came from pretty much any morning of the week.

My sister got picked up for prostitution in Nice when she was 18. She was drunk, in a short skirt and high heels, walking aimlessly away from the beach. She spoke no French, and the police pretended not to speak English. Fortunately, she was able to mutter the name of her hostel, and equally fortunately, she'd recently hooked up with the guy behind the desk, so he could vouch that her services were not for sale.

We miss you, too.

MIAMI, Florida (AP) -- A floating vintage car chugging toward the Florida Keys from Cuba was piloted by two of the same men who tried to sail a converted truck to the United States last year, relatives said.

At least let them be on the Telemundo version of Monster Garage, for cripes sake...

While clerking, during "court week" or whatever it's called when all the judges get together to sit on cases, I hooked up with another clerk. Of course, all the hotel rooms, or many of them, were on the same floor of the hotel. Going back to the room at 8am was a dicey proposition. I think some other clerk was assigned to camp outside the door to figure out whose room I'd come from. All the more fun later that morning when the clerks assembled to watch oral argument.

In law school, woman in my small section was dating another guy in my class. That guy, and the professor for the section, lived in the same townhouse complex. 8am, woman leaves guy's house. 8:01, prof. leaves her house. 8:02 the bump into each other "Oh, I didn't know you live here." "Um, well, er, . . . see you in class." 8:15, Both prof. and woman get to class together. I think the prof. called solely on people on the side of the room away from hook-up girl just to avoid looking at her.

Getting sick and tired of having to pick your clothes up off of a different floor every morning and putting them back on, eh?

Well, it would be much simpler to get my daily grope from a fashionista(o?) in the comfort of my own home.

I cannot repeat enough that the Carl's Jr. ad with the hottie riding the mechanical bull to the tune of Foghat was clearly the outright winner. Of possibly all time.

Go here, follow links to "on the TV" in upper right corner

Nice choice; thanks for the link. Hoy.

That reminds me: I would program the closet not to critique my tits and my ass while we are having sex. And while I suppose it would be justified in pulling out a tape measure to check my ratios, that has been known to kill the mood.

You are freakin' killing me. I have a great hookup for this show (backstage passes type stuff), and this year I have to go to Toronto that weekend for a wedding. Last year it was awesome, one of the most fun weekends of my life. I reviewed the concert on this site last May.

Killing me. (I like Radiohead and Wilco very very very much). But nothing can take away from being up on stage during the White Stripes' set last year.

GWNC: See you in May at the corner of Jarvis and Isabella. I hope I get "friend prices."
