With that faccia, I think that dress was the appropriate choice.

People telling me what I did and didn't "catch" is almost as patronizing as people telling me how to pronounce things.

I "caught" your little joke/social commentary/whatever. I just didn't think it was that funny. Luckily for all of us, I'm not the arbiter of funny on this board.

but the tsunaimi jokes were kind of funny.

Don't be so overly sensitive. I'm sure some of her best friends have been tsunami victims.

Can I just say that I am somewhat conflicted about how to deal with the loss of John Basedow, Fitness Celebrity, in the tsunami? I mean, given that the guy was just minding his own business on vacation when he died (probably horribly) in a huge natural disaster causing the suffering of untold millions, I somehow feel I should mourn him as a person or something, or at least have the decency not to find it funny.

But it is. It is funny.

The Mr. is usually the first person to tell me I am being callous (usually something along the lines of "you callous, market-worshipping, laissez-faire, stone-hearted libertarian, some day the invisible hand will slap you around and see how you like it," which for all its imagination just doesn't have the zing of my routine comeback "bleeding-heart pinko"), but when I told him of the probable fate of the Fitness Celebrity, he just said "Really? That's pretty fucking funny."

Anyway, this doesn't add anything except my boycott of the movie (didn't want my hard-earned $ going anywhere near that fucker)
Unless he got box-office bonuses (pretty rare, but not unheard of, for novel rights holders), your money wouldn't have gone to the prick, but rather, to the studio distributing the picture and other gross players, which in this case, were probably Payne and Nicholson. So fear not!

If this post is praising Russian Deb's Handbook, I'll second it with a deuce (but not a duce staley). Very fine first novel.
