No wonder no man will fuck me.

Don't you worry your pretty little head. Sebastian is talking out of all three sides of his ass with this piece of fashion advice. I own a pair of plaid polyester pants from a Japanese designer that I am willing to wager are hipper than any pair of pants in Sebastian's wardrobe.

Peggy Noonan is good at what she does. "No pope has done more for Jewish-Christian relations than he." No shit. That's like saying of my immediate 264 ancestors, I'm the one who's come closest to being MCSE certified.

I asked who he was. After I found out, I thought they should sponsor Dick Trickle on the NASCAR Tour.

And I just learned that it's Tennessee whiskey and not bourbon...

Perhaps some Knob Creek?

But will men fuck you? because that's the test.

I own plaid pants too. As does my husband.

Plaid is funny

It's rodney dangerfield, but also vivienne westwood. and circus clown. A three-fer.

You should upgrade the old Avatar.

But that would be like Jennifer Grey with the new nose. No one would recognize me.

Remember the Pope hat dilemma.

Did Gibson finally agree to put in sub-titles?

I hope he doesn't. You really shouldn't be seeing this movie if you don't pretty much already know the story by heart.

"Well, tarnation! If I'da knowed it was Jews what killed Jesus, I'da done paid more mind to that anti-Semitism class in fourth grade!"

(Note: It was the eye-talians who killed our lord and savior. Fucking eye-talians, always whacking people.)

this is all very helpful - thank you all.
I think this will be a very nice surprise. Does anyone have any recommendations on games (preferably football or hockey related)?

The hockey game for Xbox is excellent.

When my brother was little (like maybe five), he broke into the locked room where our mother kept all the christmas presents. For weeks, he would sneak a gift or two into his room and play with them and then sneak them back in before she noticed. Finally, the jig was up and my mother confronted us(!) and told us that the star trek enterprise and the slot cars were gifts for our father.

I believed her, of course

This so reminds me of one gift-giving occasion (birthday?) when I wanted this game called (I think) Concentration -- where you have to fit these little puzzle pieces in a board in under the time limit alloted, or the whole board "pops" up and the pieces go flying everywhere. (Can't quite remember why exactly I wanted this game...)

But anyway, I saw that my parents had hidden something called "Super Concentration" or some variation of the game, in the guest room closet.

So, I decided to ask my parents whether they had gotten Concentration for me, which was met with the usual, "Well, maybe... you'll have to wait and see...." Of course, I should have stopped right there, but I HAD to go one step too far and ask, "Well, did you get me anything like Concentration?" thus tipping my hand, and alerting them to the fact that I had seen the booty. They returned it, and I didn't get anything REMOTELY like Concentration. It must have been quite scarring, because I still remember it 3 years later!

That is a very sad story. I can't believe they returned it! Poor dtb.

The other gift fiasco of my youth was when I wanted the "bust" of Barbie (no, you pervs, not that) that you could put makeup on, and do her hair, etc.

My parents knew I really wanted it, but either (i) my parents were late to the store and they didn't have the one I wanted, or (ii) my parents were just PC way ahead of their time (or a combination thereof), and I got the black Barbie bust. I confess, I was rather disappointed. None of the makeup showed up on the black Barbie! I felt totally ripped off!

If you can find a nice hip pair of plaid pants, men will fuck you. Women will fuck you. You can fuck whichever gender you feel like fucking.

Some plaid pants are Dangerfield, indeed. And some cannot help being circus clown. And some, as you note, are Vivienne Westwood:

Not for nothing, I used to have a Yukon_Cornelius sock back on Infirm.

Really? That's incredible.
Did you try the Met?

Pandacam does not seem to work on my computer at work. Damn. Watching a panda bear sleep is way more interesting than, like, working.

Any links to the migrating penguins? I'm intrigued.

leagl, if you can't sit through one feature-length LOTR, you need to not only give up your geek card but also wear a hair shirt for a few days in penance for having retained said card way too long.
