Oh shit. That's the crispy new style.

You've just vaulted yourself up my list to top ten posters of all time.

And I'd sign that kid tomorrow, if I could.

Oh, come on, Thurgreed. You're going to make everybody jealous by letting them know you have such a list.

Because everybody on this board knows that I'm mostly right and will mostly agree with me (is that how it went?) that, naturally, I'm number one on that list. :blush:

Don't hate me because I'm [you know the rest...]

Because it's fuckinA Friday and we need some levity, here is your stupid website link....
Warning

Warning

Butchering the Human body for consumption

FDA approved WARNING label...this is a joke site. It contains a humorous (yet disturbing) picture of "packaged human" complete with instructions of how to butcher a human for consumption.
You have been warned. Click away.

I will assume that now I will never make TM's top ten but oh well.

Additional warning - there is a border add that contains naked breasts. Carry on.

Additional warning - there's a recipe for...Bob Arson's White Devil Dinky-Dao Mothafucka Bobbacoo Sauce

Edited to add that the naked breasts don't always show up for some reason. Hmmm.

Sweet! Has anyone ever used e-bay for vintage hats/bags? Been happy with the clothes, etc. you've gotten? Many thanks for any advice--have never used e-bay.

I have purchased both vintage hats and bags. I've been pleased. (Particularly with the hats, but that's really about the fact that modern hats usually just suck ass.) Vintage clothing descriptions are more iffy than the hat/bag descriptions - hats and bags have obvious and easily described types of wear. If you're going the vintage clothing route (and mean to wear it), be sure the seller is a regular vintage clothing seller with high approval ratings so you can rely on the descriptions. Sometimes a vague "excellent vintage condition" is enough, sometimes it isn't.

I've also done some NTW/NWOT designer stuff. New/mint second hand designer stuff is pretty prevalent, and that seems to be a pretty reliable market. They tend to provide very detailed measurements. Some designers carry a premium, but only compared to comparable designer stuff on eBay. You can get a mint late '90s Chanel suit for $500-750. You can get hundreds of styles of new Manolos still in the box any day of the week for about $325. You can also pick up that Birkin bag RIGHT NOW for only a modest premium over the store price and no waiting list. In general, it seems a fine place to pick up vintage clothing, secondhand designer stuff at a terrific price and new designer overstock at some discount.

I've gotten a little bit of jewelry, enough to realize that the way to go on eBay is either really high end and certified, where you pay real money but can get amazing discounts below wholesale, or pretty low end, where you know you won't be disappointed for the price and might be very, very happily surprised. For middling stuff you are probably better off heading to a store so you can do the c/b/a firsthand.

wife in freezer

PHOENIX, Sept. 12 — A 75-year-old man stored his wife’s body for nearly six years in his backyard, twisted and upside down in an old freezer, because he hoped she could someday be brought back to life, authorities said.
WHEN POLICE went to Edwin Rowlette’s home after receiving a tip from his daughter, they found dozens of cats along with feces and urine inside the house. The backyard, where one of the daughter’s friends discovered the body, was cluttered with garbage, debris, insulation and furniture.
Authorities found Marcia Lynn Rowlette’s body packed in dry ice and insulation and stored along with the bodies of ten dead cats. Rowlette told police he used the cats for research.

See Thrasher, it starts like this.

My main source 'til now for vintage hats/bags (besides my dashing relatives) has been "little old lady selling her house of 50 years" tag sales. For costume jewelry, church fairs. But I am considering branching out. Thanks for the tips.

I'm enjoying the hang glider game from miniclip

They have all sorts of games. There is sound and you need flash.

Some friends of mine run a website, and they just put together a series on being a busty babe and finding the right bras and clothes. I can relate to a lot of what they have to say so I thought I'd pass on the link.

Nope. Can't agree with you there. Book was better. Same is true for The Client. I thought the movie for The Rainmaker was better. I haven't read the others, so I don't know. I'm looking forward to the upcoming Runaway Jury with John Cusack, but only because it has Cusack in it.

Starship Troopers: Now, this is one of those interesting "how can you compare them" problems. The book was, overall, better than the movie. The movie was radically different than the book. The movie was also one of the better thematic translations of a book to screen that I have ever seen. The book was basically a philosophical and political treatise, and the movie translated the ideas pretty well.

I can't believe you think this. The movie completely shifted the philisophical underpinnings of the book. It did retain the obvious military service for citizenship theme, but really dropped the more interesting theme of the book that explored autonomous thought versus centralized command. In the book Starship Troopers, the war boils down to individual humans highly enhanced through technology with a great deal of autonomy fighting against an insect hoard with little independant thought and a centralized command. In the movie it was just hoard against hoard. I suppose this reflects a generational shift in thought about the influence individuals can have by themselves.

Still, it was a visually stunning movie and the use of the newsclips was clever. I enjoyed it, but I had been looking forward to the visualization of the scene in the book where a single platoon of humans subdues a planet.

That's what a lot of the eBay sellers seem to be - that or small local vintage shops that bought the stuff from tag sales and church fairs. Just a much bigger tag sale.

Oddest "vintage" listing I've found on eBay: half full bottles of perfume. WTF?

Starship troopers seemed to me one of those movies that had almost nothing to do with the book. It was as if they decided to take the concept of war, the concept of bugs and the title, and that was it.

I know a lot of people hated the movie, I enjoyed it, but I just didn't think it had any more than a passing relationship to the book, which I enjoy very much. I much prefer the book to the movie. The movie was a good, loud, gory kind of a thing. The book however examined all sorts of interesting ideas about service to country in exchange for the right to be involved in government etc etc.
