What's the consensus on eggs being bad for you. I've been on a modified Atkins (its cheaper than getting my suits altered each winter) for about two months and I've lost a pile of weight, but I'm eating eggs every third morning, and the goddamned deli where I get them doesn't do egg whites or Egg Beaters, so I'm eating yolks. Is the jury still out on whether egg yolks are bad for you?

if you have any cholesterol issues, yolks are bad. I don't think there is any jury out on that one.

Not to defend mr handsome, but I think the last time one of those wimps visited Hank's part of America and said something that vaguely sounded like a threat... well, he's really buried underneath the NJ turnpike, right?

The Laborers might be a better welcoming committee.

That was a Detroit Teamster, and he was a lot of talk... We grow 'em bigger and meaner here.

no offense, but I'm praying (to Fred (Grandy)) that this doesn't turn into a "my teamsters are better than yours" thread.

"Toward the end, unsatisfied with showing a man flayed alive, nailed gruesomely to a cross, one eye shut from being smashed in, blood covering his entire body, Gibson has a large crow perch on the neighboring cross and peck another man's eyes out. Why? Because the porn needed yet another money shot."

-- Andrew Sullivan

yes, I rather liked this porn-related quote from a review I read yesterday. (sorry for perpetuating this thread)

"Still, the controversy [over anti-Semitism] turns out to have done Gibson a huge favour. It appears to have blinded many to the picture's far more provable faults, especially to its close-up deification of Christ's flagellated body — the word made flesh, the flesh made yucky. Looking to heaven, Mel Gibson has made a movie about the God of Love, and produced two hours of non-stop violence. We can only pray that next time, looking to Mars, he'll make a movie about the God of Violence, and produce two hours of non-stop love. That might be porn worth paying for."

Bitch.

New Motto. Where married people pretend they would fuck the shit out of someone not their spouse.

Of bitter disappointment caused by (i) the redundancy of "While-Simultaneously," and (ii) the news that kissing up to Gwinky is not automatically man-pleasing (although I use the term "man" in this case quite loosely).

And even if they did, they'd hit the problem that Clear Channel doesn't have a huge presence in any given city, which are the markets they look at.

Uh, they sure as hell do in this city, which is why four of my six dials on my car are on some form of public radio (two college stations, Pacifica and NPR, thank god for KTRU). It's insane how much of this market they control.

Further to my post yesterday about threesomes, permanent-style, does anyone know people who are in enduring three-way relationships? The sister of a friend was in one for a couple of years, but -- speaking of making me cry -- I never got to learn much about it. I would think the interpersonal dynamics would be all screwy.

Yes. They're gay, and they've been together for years. I have no idea how it works. Parties at their house are fascinating.

Or pretend they would have the chance to.

Alright. Alright. I edited it. For Fred's sake.

Obrigado!

I have a question for you -- how do you stay so regular eating all that rice? It's very, uh, binding -- if you know what I mean, and I think you do....

My grandmother swears by hers (she makes a lot of rice too), but my husband makes it the old-fashioned way* (rice is a staple of his native culture's cuisine -- he makes it almost daily) and was not too keen on the one my grandmother gave him as a gift. I don't know the brand -- if you're serious, I'll find out for you.


*His mother is also a die-hard, old-fashiond-method cook (and a good one at that!). We were staying at my in-laws vacation apartment, and the babysitter/housekeeper was looking for the coffee maker -- and when I showed her the "old sock" coffee drainer apparatus (that was all the rage 75 years ago...), she nearly fell over. She tried to hide her shock by saying, "Oh, that's the really ancient method" (bad translation -- it sounded less condescending in her native language).

dtb asking Grinch about his shit. Like he doesnt talk about it enough without being prompted. Just, no.

In the one I know about, it was pretty clear that the third person was not really co-equal, which may be why it didn't last.
