But to tie it in to fashion, you can get ATHF t-shirts at Hot Topic. I think Sealab and Space Ghost shirts are also available.

I just want to make sure you don't think that Hot Topic is a decent clothes store or anything. I mean, its kinda cool if you are a tattooed, black eyeliner and lipstick wearing, nose ringed, tongue studded, purple haired resident of your mom's planned community housette in Irvine. I am starting to think you are not the avante garde tour de force guy I thought you were and am now thinking you are a five minutes behind the peak of insiderism, displaced canuck with a freakish memory bank full of dead Survivors. Like, if Swingers was circa 2003 instead of 1997, you might be the guy driving around WeHo looking for the bar without the sign that Leo and Tara declared dead last week. And you just finally figured out where to get Pisco.

Hot Topic=Gap for the Goth Set.

I've never been to Hot Topic and I'm fully cognizant of it's suckiness. It's a funnel of fashion, nay a vacuum, nay a black hole. Whatever you want to call it, it just sucks. But they've got Adult Swim T-shirts, which will be the coolest additions to my T-shirt collection since my "Superjew," and "Show me on the doll where the bad man touched you" shirts I got from freshproduct (that very same Superjew shirt was featured on QEFSG, MANY MONTHS AFTER I BOUGHT IT ). So I am too cool.

And as everyone knows, the only cool place to hang out in LA is Jillian's at Universal City Walk. C'mon Paigow, everybody knows that!

Oh, and by the way, how bad did Justin suck on the food competition? Couldn't handle some fried clams in hot sauce, while Robert ate eyeballs/fish heads? Nigga, please.

Also a prominently featured lyric in the new Bowling For Soup song "Punk Rock 101." Don't knock 'em as they are now quite "well off," unless of course you don't really want to be a 340 lb. rock guitarist.

There are already hundreds of fools ..er....folks lined up outside of the Georgia Dome. Lining up started today at noon but the tryouts are not until Wednesday. Luckily the weather has been mild this summer (only 90 today but starting to get a bit sticky) with the normal 30% chance of thunderstorms each afternoon. If any of you FBers plan to try out you better haul fanny down here right quick.

Duvet covers cover the duvet. Not redundant. The duvet is the comforter-like thing (actually I was taught that a duvet was just a french word for what we called a "continental quilt" - the continent being Europe - and what you call a comforter). The duvet cover is like 2 sheets sewn together that goes over the duvet. You wash the duvet cover but you have to have the duvet dry cleaned.

Several more steps. The duvet cover wrap goes around the duvet cover to keep it clean. That, in turn, is protected by the duvet cover wrap cover.

In very dry climates, duvet cover wrap covers can be covered, of course, by a secondary duvet cover wrap cover, but the more common scenario has them all simply tossed into a corner underneath some form of ceramic pottery. Usually, this pottery is covered by the ceramic pottery wrap cover (the actual "wrap" being considered unnecessary as long as the cover has been covered) . . . .

But this is what you dont get: the fact that you have to get it at Hot Topics means it is past its peak. Yeah, a few thirty something lawyers might be befuddled by the sight of your shirt, but do you really want to be down with the Mall Crowd? What are you trying to convey with this shirt, anyway? That despite the fact that you are an old lawyer, you are really a twentysomething from the streets of Glendale? Better to save your money and get a mini cooper which I think will better convey the coolness of you.

as for BB4, I mostly missed it except for the nom ceremony.

how much longer do i have to put up with the bulldog and the sumo wrestler? Talk about two women who think they are god's gift. Bitches please.

Shut the hell up. But that is just a general comment, Niles.

My comment about HB should have been more clear that I was commenting about last night's episode, which perfectly blended the Sopranos with the Flintstones. I cringed when I re-read how I had typed it, but since it was buried posts ago, I let it go.

ATHF was the second funniest last night. Generally, it's never as funny as it could be, but it is a damn funny show.

I want to get a laser that shoots VERY SLOWLY. And Paigs, my T-shirt choice is intended to convey the notion that I'm with-it. I think I'm doing a good job, as in the last month I've gotten "hey, awesome shirt" comments from total strangers while wearing my New Pornographers shirt and my "All your base are belong to us" shirt. To paraphrase Tenacious D, 'I win 2-0.'

At lunch, I saw a guy rollerblading. He seemed a little older than most rollerbladers I see -- maybe 45? With prematurely grey hair, and a little pudgy but no huge potbelly or anything, just not any kind of hardbody. So, everything is fine so far. But he's wearing a fanny pack. And he has on shorts that look kind of the consistency of silk boxers.

And no shirt. NO SHIRT! Ick.

Second thing. Plants die under my care. Regular flowers are great for a while, but inevitably I forget about them and suddenly they are dropping petals all over the place and the water is all scummy. Basically, I'm a big irresponsible slob. What's the verdict on silk flowers? Part of me thinks "ew ew ew fake!" and part of me thinks "maybe will add some color."

Maybe I just need to buy some stuff that has color in place of the flowers. I would get a fresh bouquet delivered every other day except I don't have that kind of money.

Plastic plants can be very colorful. And low maintenance!

This reminds me of how cool I thought I was when I was 19 and used to walk around town in my "Sail With A Hard On" tee-shirt.

Given how overhyped and done to death, they should change the name of that shhirt to the Old Pornographers. (image of Less going throughmy head for some reason). Interesting to know that someone over the age of twelve actually buys tees at concerts.

I've seen a few silk flowers that actually look good. I used to be anti-fake flower, but I've come around after I've seen some silk arrangements that didn't look terrible.

Try lucky bamboo. That stuff is impossible to kill and it adds life to your office / home. Needs water every couple of weeks or so, but otherwise, it will just keep on growing without any help or interference from you. http://www.smith-hawken.com/jhtml/si...=12474&index=1 (spree, it's the freakin' smith and hawken catalogue, how racy could it be?)

Yeah! And this is another example of how the departments at my firm suck! When I brought a DVD with a nice shot on it to the IT department, they pretended they were offended by the request, then claimed that it was sexual harassment, then told me that they didn't have a DVD drive to get the stuff off the DVD, and then told me that they didn't exist for the purpose of right-sizing "little picture" for some "lawyer discussion board on the internet."

What a bunch of slackers!
