Hey, can you please consider changing your avatar before I start having screaming nightmares about murderous dinner-roll mascots?

Many thanks.

Didn't we just do this with signature lines?

I may not agree with his avatar, but I will fight to the end for his right to use it.

What the hell, I'll say it -- find someone on the left who has followers like that. James Carville? No - he totally says wackadoo way out there things that most rational people don't agree with. Michael Moore? You must be joking. I think the closest is Al Franken but he will never have the following that the right-wing conservative pontificators have. Why do you think that is?

I think there are plenty of folks on the left who have followers. Phil Donahue is an unabashed liberal with a large following. MSNBC simply couldn't stand dealing with him any further.

Arianna Huffington is another that comes to mind.

James Carville is actually quite humerous in person. He lives nearby. I actually got a major kick out of him during the 2002 election when, on CNN, he put a garbage can over his head to display his disgust with the election results.

Anyhow, this is PB stuff and I'll let the trolls there carry on.

And if it is, does anyone want to buy a used, but still working, "massager"?

No. At least I hope not. What I'm really talking about is marriages in which one person is looking outside for their excitement because it is missing in the marriage. It doesn't even have to be sexual. Like if one person always needs to have outside interests to flirt with because they lack interest in the person on the other side of the bed. Conducting mental affairs even if there is no action. And not just lusting after Pamela Anderson or Brad Pitt.

That's why I said "please consider." If he doesn't, I wish him a life full of happiness. I just wish I could call him and yell at him at 3 in the morning when I wake up flipping out.

Ah, the benefits of anonymity!

Just because I'm in an unusually good mood, why not. You can have the happy Mister Stay-Puft instead of the "I'm taking out New York and you can't stop me" version. At least until I change my mind.

And it's marshmallows, not dinner rolls.

WhY (I'm a lawyer so I'm almost always pissed off) PD

Thanks WhYPD. That was very kind.

I would have felt even worse having bad dreams about something as good as marshmallows.

"August 11 is Spike TV Day. Men all across this great land should feel empowered to leave the toilet seat up!"

Yahoo article

Is this like a 24-hour version of The Man Show?

E/O, can we add this to the board calendar? I don't want to leave a single seat down that day . . .

It sounds and looks perfectly awful. I clicked across TNN the other day and it looks like they're warming up to the full-blown release. Something Japanese girls in small bathing suits - then dressed into huge, overstuffed outfits trying to engage in a game of dodgeball.

I guess they want to balance out Lifetime which is pathetic beyond words sometimes.

Odd Todd done told me about the ancient Mayans today and he provided this lovely link --

So now tongue-spliiting and those giant ear extender things don't seem so weird, do they?

I'm in the very early stages and have been for years and could stay that way my whole life, but I'm always looking for ways to get better. Of course, there's no way you could have known any of this, and I agree, food is often the best source.

What about blueberries? They are supposed to be packed with anti-oxidants.

Being wet and soft reduces the chance that you'll suffer from razor bumps or ingrown hairs.

I used to always shave after shower, but I recently bought Braun's newest electric razor and they say to shave dry and suggest that you avoid skin irritation. They seem to be right for me (at least with respect to electric razors).

ALL of this shit is a scam. Protein bars, Cliff bars, Powerbars, GU (for distance athletes). All bullshit. You can get what these things give you NATURALLY, i.e., in fruits, vegetables, tuna, soy, eggs, milk, etc., and your body will digest them better. How much protein does everyone think we need? Eat some eggs. The fat WILL NOT KILL YOU. Has no one else noticed the correlation b/w the fatness of the U.S. and the availability of low-fat foods? We need fat. I used to eat Cliff bars and take GU for marathon training. And then I woke up, realized it tastes like shit, and did some research to see what the elite athletes do. Well they sure as shit don't ingest GU at mile 19.

Is this really true? I know some pretty serious bikers who use Power Gels during races. I mean, I understand your point - they are not a substitute for real food - but energy gels are easy to digest, give you quick energy, and do not upset your stomach. And try eating a banana (or a tuna sandwich) in the middle of a 40 mile mountain bike race. Or, right before a race, for that matter. Welcome to the Vomit-dome.

Double-caffeinated Tangerine Power Gel is my gel of choice. Tastes like shit, but it's not like I am looking for a nice gourmet meal mid-race.

Right you are. "Please" really is a magic word, aye?

Pleasant dreams.

Well, from what you and E/O have said, cyclists DO use the gels. I stand corrected. Although my Buddy who does Ironmans carries hamburgers for the bike ride. Not gels. He's fast, but he's not elite. Personally, I could much more easily eat a banana at mile 19 than some GU. For me, GU is drive-heave-city.

I'm talking true elites, not your shit sub-3 marathoners (which I am).

So am I. Although the subset of truly "elite" runners that I know is smaller than the subset of truly "elite" bikers, triathletes, and swimmers, but elite athletes who use energy food is not limited to elite runners.

In fact, most of the sub-3 guys I know gave up gels well before they qualified for Boston. Paula Radcliffe, KK, Geb, etc. - they mostly only drink their own mixture of sport's drink or water during the race.

Your own mixture is the same thing just in a different form. They are using someone else's product and tailoring it to what they have perceived their needs are, but the foundation is still someone else's gel, bar, powder, liquid product. Gels, bars, powder, liquids are just different forms of the same thing, an energy source that is not bulky that you can take during competition. Hell, I' m not elite elite and I have my own "supersecret" formulation combining gels, powders and water that took about dozen marathons and 4 IMs to perfect.
