When did Penske get back?

Ugh, I pray to Fred, and his only son, Freddie, Jr., the fruit of the virgin Frederica's loins, that is ain't so. I thought we were done with that putz and I could retire this Fred-awful sock once and for all.

Looks like there will be a circling back on this issue. Good times good times.

Jayson Williams. That's who. Really really really fucked. Every day when I click on espn.com, I see something even worse, like "Williams told everyone to put deceased's prints on gun." If the jury thinks it was an accident+cover-up, what does he get?

Every day when I click on the link to the article in espn.com detailing how fucked Jayson Williams is, I read the article and come to the end, where it says:

Williams, 36, faces eight charges, including aggravated manslaughter and witness tampering, that could carry up to 55 years in prison. The least of the charges carries a penalty of up to 18 months in prison, but would likely result in probation.

Well, if he has a good lawyer,... That guy in Galveston chopped up the body and threw it into the bay and Dick DeGuerin still managed to instill doubt into the jury's mind about whether or not it was murder.

Incidently, Dick DeGuerin is the honorary chair of the Diverseworks Gala on Saturday. The theme is Scandal! Tickets are here!

Here's a link to the story from the K&E website.

I'm willing to bet that both the paralegal and K&E attorney's wife have impressive Hermes collections, which may even include BnB's coveted orange Birkin.

Very helpful, thanks. Why didn't I get that job again?

I do think the one's I've seen (or noticed) qualify as "satire" rather than "counterfiting," though. I admit, having someone satirize your core brand may indeed diminish the "value" of your IP but ... they have rather made themselves a target for mockery, haven't they.

BR(this is me knowing jack-all about IP, mind you, but I can't see this case being a winner, vs the rubber "jelly kellies" at least)C

I could only manage the first eight minutes of the Oscars (up to the first acceptance speech - I don't give a fuck what Tim Robbins has to say), but there was at least one enjoyable moment in the opening video montage or whatever that was -- Michael Moore getting squashed by some creature from the Lord of the Rings movie.

Good times.

Yeah, I know, take it to Politics.

I honestly thought it was humorous sculpture. I never would have posted it had I known it was an actual person.

It still doesn't look real to me.

So did I. Actually, I may still think so.

There are a surprising number of gay republicans. There are even some who insist they will still vote for Bush.

I cannot fathom that level of inner hatred.

Maybe its just that the alternative of a Hanoi Kerry or Madame Mao-Hillary presidency scares the bejeesuses out them as much as it does many of us hetero-independents, nttawwt.

Perhaps they deem tax policy more important than an Amendment proposal that isn't going to go anywhere.

Or perhaps they don't think Kerry is any more supportive of their position than Bush.

Personally I find that I have trouble playing golf. My chest gets in the way. On the other hand, if we had a sport that involved spilling food on your chest, I'd be quite good at that.

You need to work on your stance. If your torso pivots forward at the hips and your arms hang down naturally, boobs shouldn't get in the way.

If spilling food on your chest were an Olympic sport, I'd be in medal contention. (ETA: This has more to do with clumsiness than chest size.)

As for the Oscars, I thought Julia Roberts looked the worst I'd seen her in years. The cut and style of the dress was nice but the color, combined with her hair color and the long and floppy 2-years-ago-Madonna hairdo, made her look bland and sloppy. And the tanning and minimalist makeup on Charlize looked like someone wanted her to look less lovely for the Oscars -- she also was too bland. Some non-nude lipstick (like Patricia Clarkson) or different eyemakeup was definitely in order. Anything with a color other than gold or beige.

Renee Zellweger should not lose any more weight -- just tone up her arms. Hated the way Sandra Bullock and Liv Tyler looked. Liv's hair was icky. Samantha Morton looked scary. Peter Jackson's wife made him look good and that's bad. You're at the Oscars with a film that is expected to win mega awards. Get your hair cut and beard trimmed and get a hairdo that doesn't involve fake flowers. Just hated Diane Lane's dress -- thought it was something Pamela Anderson would wear. Jennifer Garner finally found a dress that looks good on her.

Penske, this is one of your less subtle socks.

I've been running though. I promise. See the below picture. Me, running naked. Unfortunately I fell down:

My God, is that sexy.

I'm going with the theory that this was Gwyneth's fat suit from whatever movie that was with Jack Black. I'll remember the name of it later.

Even recovering fat people don't have that much extra skin, or at least let's hope not.

And somehow he wasn't picked in the dead pool. Weird that.

Ugh, this asswichclam is making me TUALAOTFOMSA! Interesting how a penske-sock and his metroboytoy slavenomoreunlessmymastercommandsmetomykneesnttawwt, show up at the same time to answer the same post in a neanderthal-con rightwingnut way. The Tweedledum and Tweedledummer of the right. Ick!

I have heard lots of people say similar things about Naomi Watts, and I just don't get it. I think she's gorgeous. She looks slim without looking skeletal, and I think her face is open and friendly, and very attractive. She's maybe not as "interesting" looking as some other stars (like Nicole Kidman, for example -- who is also a stunner), but very beautiful.

This is a bad case of Taxwonking, but ....

I wasn't sure exactly who she was until a few weeks ago when I saw parts of "Le Divorce" -- she is definitely attractive, and there is something about her that makes you keep your eyes on her when she is on the screen.
