When someone sends an e-mail cancelling a meeting later this afternoon that you totally forgot about.

I came across an unaired pilot for Buffy the vampire slayer recently. It is about 30 minutes long, has a different person playing Willow (who comes across as a completely different character) and some very rough special affects.

You can probably find it floating around the Internet if you so desire. I found it on kazaa.

E/O, better put leagl down in the "law breakers" category of the great downloading debate.

For shame.

Can someone explain this concept to me? Someone was explaining to me how men have to pay their dues (such as jail time for their OG?), and that "female associates" have other roles to play. I am not getting straight answers re what these dues are, or the role of a female associate. Anyone know?

Saw the ad this weekend and had exactly the same reaction. Very clever, but I don't want the Hummer people to get any better at marketing those behemoths, b/c they are already a hazard (and a nuisance) here as it is.

I think I saw that a while back. The Tragically Hip has a cameo as a curling team right? Funny - but in a "cliched Canada packaged for Americans" way, I think. Sometimes the stereotyping of us as beer-swilling yet charming yokels is kind of annoying, as in a those-morons-caused-the-blackout kind of way.

I long for the old days. Back when I was edgy and funny - does anyone besides Paigow remember that? Those were heady times. I had just led the mass exodus from Yahoo to Infirmation, but had not yet been named as one of the 100 most influential lawyers of the year. My patentgreedy sock had the boards in an uproar, long before the cheap Demi More and Temp Sock knock-offs arrived. We had all just set down our Appletinis and, in their place, began picking up these new sweet, minty, rum concoctions that were as intoxicating as the tech boom itself. I recall sitting in swank Paris lounges with Plated and Multo, listening to Air's Femme D'Argent, and drinking $1,800 bottles of wine, which were easily affordable given my expansive credit line leveraged on my Infirm stock. The salary charts I had pioneered had made the law firm salary infrastructure transparent. We had BigLaw by the balls and were not going to stop squeezing until starting salaries reached $175K and BYBs added at least another $75K of icing to that cake. The Boards were my private sexual playground - I could pretty much bank on the fact that another 10,000 page hits meant another FB honey ready, willing, and able to service the Flower in ways I dare not even mention.

Now . . . now, it's just not the same. Never will be. Never again.

Finally. And to think I wasnt gonna catchup. Actually, I amnot gonna, just gonna read the posts with my fake name in em. The fun thing about the search function is you get to see your fake name in red in the posts. This was fabulous. Takes me back to the days of Vanil Stoli and ginger ales, pineappley vodkas straight up and other tasty confections I used to only be able to get at the Royalton. These were the glory days when more hot guys were everywhere, in bank machine rooms, in bars, in the office, and they mostly hadnt thrown in the towel to that society sanctioned clusterfuck called marriage. Some bitches threatened to take that cow back to the grazing area if a real diamond didnt spring up on that finger and now going out is a lot less fun for me. I love the thrill of the chase but alas, everyone is getting older and I just keep staying the same age.

but I digress. I agree the penske socks are phoning it in. They are not spot on, their mileage does not vary and nobody is thanking them for playing. Bc playing is more than phoning it in.

Which would be worse: being "cleansed" by some smelly guy right after losing your husband (ignore the possibility of AIDS) or being stuck in an elevator for 20 min with a decaptitated body?

That is beautiful. Also, then you can pretend like you were super prepared for it.

My vote is that it is worst to be beheaded by a fucking malfunctioning elevator like you're in some crap horror movie.

Damn. The way you get through watching stuff like Resident Evil and Omen II is that you can enjoy the creativity used to make all that shit up. Guess not.

Apparently, for only $19.95 you can get a washed-up "celebrity" to call you and wish you a happy birthday. You can get Todd Bridges, Lou Ferrigno, or Fred Berry (if you don't know who he is, shame on you!). And you can also get Lorenzo Lamas. I'm thinking of ordering a Lorenzo call for Paigow's next birthday, but only if he'll say her favorite line ever about his hot burrito.

Spree discl: it's from the Washington Post. If you're not my dad and you don't think it's a pinko commie rag, then it won't hurt to click it.

I think my favorite Lorenzo line had something to do about his "combo plate". but that would be highlarious. and the paigow birthday is just around the corner as fate would have it. I regret that most of america did not get the brilliance of are you hot.

and about that cat falling off the tv, I think that was the only funniest episodes of hilarity or whatever that show is called I have ever seen. So this is like deja rerun but not exactly.

Not absolutely shocking like your stories, but when I was househunting a few years ago (mid 90s), I looked at a townhouse that had a purple living room, with parquet wood floor, a disco ball and a mirror mounted to the wall over the fireplace.

Looked at a 1920s Tudor with orange shag carpet and a vaulted popcorn ceiling. A VAULTED POPCORN CEILING IN A TUDOR, people. As Thom Filicia would shriek, "It's HORRRRRRible."

Still, I'd have to say that even greater crimes against decor can still be found in Trading Spaces rooms designed by Dez, Frank, Hildy (sometimes), and Kia (always always always).
