Dissent. Saw a rerun last night where he was interviewing Maureen Dowd about her new book on man-hating. He asked whether it was appropriate in her view to compliment a woman on her looks, or if a woman's intellectual capacity should be all that is considered. She responded with Cassanova's suggestion that you should call a brilliant woman beautiful and a beautiful woman brilliant. Colbert then asked, "So which should I call you?" It was the first time I've ever seen her speechless.

They are all Tivo'ed, and primarily watched on weekends. What's your point?

Don't wait for the weekend to watch this week's Arrested Development. Five or six laugh out loud moments, all with Charlize Theron in her (sniff) last appearance on the show.

Favorite one is when she's riding in the car with George Michael. But the "tiny teddy" bit is a very close second. And Ron Howard's never been better.

Clinking on this link led me to the discovery that Eminem is reconciling with his wife Kim and that Christina Applegate and her husband (Jonathan Scaetch, or something like that) are getting divorced.

Who needs NFH?

I read this as Christina Aguilera, and thought that that must be the shortest celebrity wedding ever, since they got married like 5 weeks ago. But Applegate's been married for a long time -- her husband was in "That Thing You Do." So, happy divorcing!

So in my office Secret Santa pool, I get this guy whom I barely know. He's in his late 20's (I'm guessing) and has no discernable (to me, anyway) interests. I think he's from Kentucky (not that this matters, but it's the only "personal" thing I know about him.)

Do I just get him a bottle of booze? (and just hope he's old enough to drink it?)

Either a video Ipod, or an oven mitt that you knitted yourself.

Not a teapot with a commemorative hot-sauce pack inside?

I rarely laugh out loud at TV, but the vision of Dwight in his elf costume made me laugh so hard it hurt.

you're lucky. Had you gone natural, you would have laughed so hard you wet your pants.

(I know, take it to the mom and dad board)

How much are you supposed to spend? For $1 million, you could get him Vincent Gallo's sperm.

Holy cow, this guy sounds like a total whackjob:

Vincent Gallo's Sperm

$1 Million

Price includes all costs related to one attempt at an in-vitro fertilization. (A $50,000 value) If the first attempt at in vitro fertilization is unsuccessful, purchaser of sperm must pay all medical costs related to additional attempts. Mr. Gallo will supply sperm for as many attempts as it takes to complete a successful fertilization and successful delivery. Sperm is 100% guaranteed to be donated by Mr. Gallo who is drug, alcohol and disease free. If the purchaser of the sperm chooses the option of natural insemination, there is an additional charge of $500,000. However, if after being presented detailed photographs of the purchaser, Mr. Gallo may be willing to waive the natural insemination fee and charge only for the sperm itself. Those of you who have found this merchandise page are very well aware of Mr. Gallo's multiple talents, but to add further insight into the value of Mr. Gallo's sperm, aside from being multi talented in all creative fields, he was also multi talented as an athlete, winning several awards for performing in the games of baseball, football and hockey and making it to the professional level of grand prix motorcycle racing. Mr. Gallo is 5'11" and has blue eyes. There are no known genetic deformities in his ancestry (no cripples) and no history of congenital diseases. If you have seen The Brown Bunny, you know the potential size of the genitals if it's a boy. (8 inches if he's like his father.) I don't know exactly how a well hung father can enhance the physical makeup of a female baby, but it can't hurt. Mr. Gallo also presently maintains a distinctively full head of hair and at the age of 43 has surprisingly few gray hairs. Though his features are sharp and extreme, they would probably blend well with a softer, more subtly featured female. Mr. Gallo maintains the right to refuse sale of his sperm to those of extremely dark complexions. Though a fan of Franco Harris, Derek Jeter, Lenny Kravitz and Lena Horne, Mr. Gallo does not want to be part of that type of integration. In fact, for the next 30 days, he is offering a $50,000 discount to any potential female purchaser who can prove she has naturally blonde hair and blue eyes. Anyone who can prove a direct family link to any of the German soldiers of the mid-century will also receive this discount. Under the laws of the Jewish faith, a Jewish mother would qualify a baby to be deemed a member of the Jewish religion. This would be added incentive for Mr. Gallo to sell his sperm to a Jew mother, his reasoning being with the slim chance that his child moved into the profession of motion picture acting or became a musical performer, this connection to the Jewish faith would guarantee his offspring a better chance at good reviews and maybe even a prize at the Sundance Film Festival or an Oscar. To be clear, the purchase of Mr. Gallo's sperm does not include the use of the name Gallo. The purchaser must find another surname for the child.

I think you need to retire. Go out with a 6666 post count.

In other news, the forecasted high today in Denver is 4 degrees (it is currently -1). Not windchill, not Celsius. 4 Farenheit.

All the fucking Denver freaks who go on and on to me about how it is the best place in the world, and how even though it snows there it magically never gets cold can suck it. Hard. I hate Denver people.

Speaking of Spree, I saw the real one at the airport at about 5:00 AM. Big dude. Fairly nice when I said quietly "Spree, my man you don't need no ID," he laughed.

Seeing all the action Dwight gets around the office helps me understand why Hank isn't more lonely.
