What's up with reality shows and Palm Springs? I recently stayed at the Lodge at Rancho Mirage, and it wasn't that nice. I might be biased, but as far as Southland weddings go, the Laguna Niguel Ritz Carlton is the one and only choice.

Canyou please stop saying Southland? I am borrowing from Heather Havrilesky here, but the only people in the so called Southland who use that term are the local news weathermen and women. YOu are making yourself look even more like an outsider then if you went around calling the state Cali.

Why does your wallet throb?

I understand that anonymity confers a lot of freedom, but I think this goes far beyond the bounds of propriety. Some things you just don't ask.

Sheesh.

I've always found that I puke long before I reach the point of black out.

OK, this drunken sex poll was pretty interesting. Quite a few good stories. I've got a couple, but nothing worth mentioning.

The above line by Sparkler got me thinking about a debate I just had a week or so ago with some friends. It was about whether or not getting "drunk" was fun. We first argued about when a person is truly drunk and came to the conclusion that you have to be puking drunk or damn near puking drunk (i.e. world is spinning, orientation is impaired significantly), otherwise it's just a "buzz."

So, for this poll, please accept that definition.

Now, the question is: do you think getting drunk is fun?

I don't think it is. I have much more fun when I have a good buzz going than when I'm close-to-puking-drunk. I don't like the spins and I don't like throwing up. On the other hand, I enjoy losing the inhibitions and getting a little loose, but this happens to me far short of the puking stage. One of my buddies, on the other hand, stated that he doesn't "know when the next time [he] will get puking drunk will be, but [he] looks forward to it."

No thanks. What do you think?

3) When trying to order my very favorite pinot filled dark chocoltes and merlot filled milk chocolates, I was told by the wineery in Sonoma that they dont like t o ship em, bc, get this, CHOCOLATE MELTS. Espocially chocolate from Texas.

Bummer. Otherwise, this sounds like a tasty and expeditious way around the bans on interstate shipment of wines.

Yeah, but she's more likely to tell me the wallet nauseated her.

So I'm sitting in Barney's Beanery, famed Los Angeles watering hole that has about 80 TVs, so one can watch all football games at once. I've got big money on the Eagles and Ravens, less money on things like Minnesota-Seattle OVER, New Orleans -2, Detroit -3. I'm having breakfast with my brother and my sister in law, who I only get to see about once a month.

And as if this wasn't distracting enough, who's sitting 30 feet away from me, with her hand on the leg of some asshat wearing a #5 Eagles jersey?



Zoinks.

Then, leaving Barney's a few hours later, and a few dollars poorer, who do I see waiting for the keys to his SUV, but:



Rachel was cuter.

1) If you have to say something is "famed" to explain it to the little people, then it isnt.

2) except that it is, and I wonder if you even know why. Bc Janis Joplin was last seen there.

3) does anyone know who the fuck that girl is? I mean, besides Slave. They put her name on there like she is a star of some sort.

4) the only thing gayer than seeing Leo Dicaprio in WeHo (west hollywood for you not in the know) is that pic of Leo Dicap.

5) I saw the White Stripes on an SNL rerun and I think its safe to say that they suck , Can you stop the fawning now?

Men are, as a rule, totally willing to date "up,"

Are we talking date up on the money front or date up on the education front?

Definitely not fun. And when I am close to puking drunk, I typically will be at puking drunk by the end of the night. In a survival-of-the-fittest sort of way I have a very strong puking mechanism, and the line between pleasantly buzzed and puking drunk is close enough for me that I typically have to stay closer to the barely buzzed part of the spectrum.

All of this may be TMI, particularly close to lunchtime, but having already confessed to throwing up in braod daylight in NYC, figured I'd throw in the final detail, for anyone thinking it could have been mourning sickness (not).

And welcome back, MR. Good to see a post here from you.

No, not weird, especially since the slur is derived from the relative commonality of the name Michael among Irishmen.

Really, Cooter? I thought it came from the relative commonality (or COMMONPLACE) of the prefix Mc in Irish names.

Puking after drinking too much is the ultimate mourning sickness.

I have no idea who she is? Did I fuck her too?

Are you nuts? I finally have some money, and you want them to stop drooling now? Thanks, but we so seldom get drooled at, and it's good for the ego.

What good is being drooled at when you are married with children?

Note to Sebby, reason 277 not to have kids.

Thanks, but I never left. It's just that the allure of seeing my words in print has faded drastically. I still read, but I will probably only speak up when I have something that is (in my mind) remotely interesting to say.

Of course, this post contradicts what I just said. Eh.

I rolled the dice anyway and had a box of each shipped from Sonoma to my bf in The Soutland, Cali. but i bet you could.
