Socks that are used for no other purpose than to clog up the board should be flipped and deleted.

You have now ruined my pre-teen fantasy of kissing David Cassidy.

As punishment, I will say moist because I know it is your least favorite word.

I'm better with moist now that someone graciously reminded me that it can be associated with freshly baked Betty Crocker (or is it Dunkin Hines?) cakes. Much better visual.

Joss Whedon has been posting at Buffy and Angel boards since 1997 (he posted last night after the last Angel episode)

So what did Joss Whedon say on the TWoP boards? I skimmed over there this morning but all I saw was fans mostly pissed off with the way the series ended and therefore with Joss and the WB.

Then what happened? Dish, dish!

I feel sorry for you living in flyoverland, when here in New York the glamour celebrity moments just come so thick and fast it's hard to keep up! Like that time Harvey Keitel told me to fuck off when he was eating brunch at Bubby's. Actually he didn't say it to me, but the person he said it to could have been me if I had crossed the street. Plus also I have met a guy who draws cartoons for the New Yorker, if you can believe it, but I was drunk and forgot his name and I don't see his stuff in the magazine anymore. I mean, how wild can you imagine it? That's how wild it gets here, baby.

Here too! So wild! When I had a drink with the "Gas Man" from Dumb & Dumber at Stanley's, and put my arm around him and he said "who the fuck is this guy?", I thought I was going to be in US Weekly!

Take your pick. Either super moist or moist deluxe.

Yum.

I think "Angel Food" is really the best descriptor for ncs. Because she's an angel.

Personally, I like the "smite" button feature. MR, want to see if you can add something like this?

Mods already have this, as ThrashersFan can attest.

He posted at the bronze, not the TWoP boards. Basically he was thanking everyone over there for the 8 years of support. For the most part everyone over there were fanboys and gurls, so they didn't have bad things to say about the episode. I'm sure all of that will come out today and tomorrow, and then they'll spend the rest of the summer deconstructing it, and then all over again when the Brits and Aussies finally see it.

The people I saw it with last night hated it. I kinda liked it.

An ex's little brother plays for the Giants and was pictured and quoted in US Weekly a few weeks ago for a story about The Bachelor. I am not certain whether this makes me personally famous or not. I did not fuck the little brother who was quoted.

I was lucky enough not to have been raised Catholic, so I dont know, but did they really hand out this type of propoganda? And did people really think God gave a shit if you masturbted, much less would wack a kitty in relatilation? not very benevolent.

In dredging up an old, overworked thread for which I'll likely be pummled (Hi, Pony!), I though I should point out that apparently this campaign is traceable to a religious group.

This article in Wired attributes this campaign to a couple of pastors whose marketing savvy is exceeded only by their knack for le mot juste.

... xxxchurch, whose mission is to help people overcome the twin temptations of pornography and onanism and bring them to God.

Started by two young pastors from the porn capital of the world -- Southern California -- the ministry is aggressively fighting carnal sin on the porn medium of choice, the Internet. It's an uphill battle. There are millions of XXX sites, but only one XXXchurch.

"(We) saw the church really doing nothing about the issue of porn, so we decided to step up and do something," said Craig Gross, 28, who started the XXXchurch with Mike Foster, 32, in 2002. "We wanted to do it outside the context of a normal church so we could attract both secular and church people."

The site -- which advertises itself as the No. 1 Christian porn site -- features downloadable bible studies, a virtual prayer wall and free software that records sites visited by Internet users and sends the log to a third party. There is also plenty of practical advice. Here's what the pastors recommend instead of self-gratification:

"Remain calm and tell yourself, 'You don't own me, masturbation! I'm taking my life back!' (or something of that nature). If that doesn't work, you can pursue alternatives like chewing gum, blasting John Lennon's song 'Cold Turkey,' eating chocolate or whatever helps you best (not masturbation)."

The ministry is based on Matthew 5:27-30, which condemns lust and recommends amputating body parts that cause a believer to sin, "for it is better that you lose one of your members than that your whole body go into hell."

Much of the XXXchurch's traffic is generated by the pastors' savvy marketing strategies.

First there was the Save the Kittens campaign, which featured a video and e-mail featuring a photograph of a kitten being chased by two snarling red monsters and the phrase, "Every time you masturbate ... God kills a kitten." Gross said they came up with the euphemism "killing kittens" because people hated saying the word "masturbation." Although the e-mail was widely disseminated, some people were offended by the video, which shows a cat being thrown across a room.

Confidential to PLF: I have not slept with any members of Moist. However, I was on a bus once and this girl said her sister met the lead singer.
