PS And you people dry-clean your duvets?!?!? That's really really really really bad for the down, and will cause it to lose all its lofting and insulating properties. If you use a cover, you only have to wash it every five years or so, in a large commercial washing machine with gentle detergent, and a large commercial dryer with several tennis balls or clean sneakers thrown in to prevent lumping.

You are supposed to wash them? What the fuck is the cover for then? I mean, I'll iron my sheets but I will throw that damn duvet in the trash and buy a new one before I take it to the dry cleaners or have to wander out and find a commercial sized washing machine and dryer. No way sistah, nu uh. I always fold the duvet and cover down (no pun) so that it doesn't actually touch our faces or anything and there are sheets and blankets between our nastiness and the nice duvet/duvet cover so why do I have to wash it? Fuck. Shit. TITS. I need a book. :doh3:

I didn't know that the Terminator did pot?

Aug. 18 — Good thing Arnold Schwarzenegger admitted that he did, indeed, inhale, because foes of the would-be governor are circulating and posting on-line pics of him apparently doing just that. “I DID SMOKE a joint and I did inhale,” Schwarzenegger said last year. “The bottom line is that’s what it was in the ‘70s, that’s what I did. I have never touched it since.”
The photos currently making the rounds are apparently a series of stills from his 1977 documentary, “Pumping Iron.” In addition to the pot pics, Arnie fans and foes recently have been treated to Internet photos of a nothing-left-to-the-imagination nudie body-building Arnold, a shot of him with a towel that does little to cover his nether regions, a pic of a nude woman atop his shoulders piggy-back style, and footage of him promoting beer and a nicotine-and-high-caffeine beverage overseas.

Edited to add link and to beg someone to find those pictures for me. Hoping to end all this "duvet madness."

If it's any consolation, I loved your Mohammed Saheed Al Sahaat Sock on greedy politics in the last days of the old board. Some would say it was very-fixing-deck-chairs-on-the-Titanic in a doomed-message-board kind of way, but it made me proud to be one of your socks. Not proud in a sycophantic Sockless in Seattle kind of way, but proud in a my dad is stronger than your dad kinda' way.

Uh...yeah....exactly.

Rocco comes across very, very poorly. Petulant, uncaring, and boorish.

Do you think he knew he was this way before, or is he on best Rocco behavior?

I'm trying to figure out how he can possibly have 2 successful restaurants when he looks like he hasn't got a clue. But there wouldn't be much point in watching if everything was going smoothly. I suspect a lot of stuff is set up -- for example it seems odd that cameras were there to see those 3 cooks talking about faking going to the hospital. And the paycheck snafu?

Yes I realize that I am quoting a long quote for naught but my pet peeve gets no play. What the ruck is ATHF? All the Hot Fucks? And dont expect me to read this post to figure it out either.

ATHF is short for Aqua Teen Hunger Force. It's a cartoon that airs 11:45 p.m. on Sunday nights on the Cartoon Network. It follows the adventures of the ATHF: Master Shake, a 7-foot tall, anthropomorphic shake, Frylock (who Atticus had as his avatar), a hovering box of french fries with a goatee, and Meatwad, who is really just a wad of meat. They get into adventures and harass Carl, their next door neighbor with an above-ground swimming pool, a love of arena rock, and lots of back hair. Did I mention they live in Jersey? It's very, very stupid, and very, very funny. My guess is if you are stoned, it's the most hilarious thing you've ever seen.

(By now, someone likely has already posted a description, but I like the give-and-take on the board. It makes me feel almost social.)

Demented and sad, but social.

I think your pressure may be causing him to experience performance anxiety. Positive reinforcement.

Does this mean one should say, hypothetically, "That was POSITIVELY your worst fucking post ever"?

The one with the topless chick on his shoulders is here. There are discrete black bars over her nipples, but I don't vouch for the application of your firm's IT policy.

Something like Clorox 2 or another product that breaks down protein will have to be used in addition to the drycleaning to fully get the stain out.

Careful in your choice of cleaning products. I used Resolve carpet cleaner on a duvet and managed to turn a square foot of the thing a pale orange.

Fucking homophones, with their homophonic agendas and such!

Um, I mean, there were two nipples and therefore two black bars, and thus they were both discrete and discreet.

Yes, soon adultery may be legal!!! No more criminal prosecutions of adulterers.

Affleck's upcoming movie "paycheck" has him playing a reverse engineer who's memory of his most recent assignment is erased. If the hero had been keanu, they wouldn't have needed to erase anything, but I digress. I think the reason Affleck doesn't look as good as he used to is because he's gained some fat. In "good will hunting" he had a good clean jaw line, he hasn't for some time. That, and he's just been going through the motions, kind of like plated or thurgreed when their on-line personas drifted from endless combinations of mean, angry and sarcastic, rather than simply retiring like the great patentgreedy.

I recommend "pirates of the carribean". It's a fun movie. Depp is great, as is Rush. Orlando Bloom and Knightly did a servicable performances, but nothing special.

"Dirty pretty things" is good as well. Chewitil Ejiofor did a standup job. Audrey Tautou is fine as well, although her role doesn't allow her to show off. Benedict Wong gets the fun lines, and delivers them well. E.g., while doing his job as some sort of morgue worker, he's stitching up the pockets of a corpse's suit:

"If he's a Buddhist, I'm giving him eternal peace for the price of a peice of thread.

"If he's an athiest, I'm ruining a perfectly good suit.
