Your translation post was pathetic and derivative of me. You cannot even hope to aspire to the great heights I have achieved on this board. I am an icon and you are a poser whose time has passed. Go talk to your socks, creep. Or get some original material. Don't try to use mine because I'm cool and in with the in crowd and you are a dirty old man who's married and squicks everyone out.

I watched a great movie this weekend -- The Apartment. Ray Walston plays Mr. Kirkaby, a character described in the script as "all personality, all of it obnoxious."

I highly recommend the movie, it's excellent, dialogue and acting-wise.* And both Lemmon and Shirley MacLaine were adorable.

You know, this movie is classified as a comedy, but it's not that funny. In fact, it's pretty depressing. I think the things that made it funny back then (close proximity city livin') were new and amusing. Now, it just seems sad (insert bilmore comment about the wonderfulness of snow).

Okay. But until then, whenever you feel the urge to get loud, if you have the nerve, look into this:

Payback? DS was thankful for providing enough TCB material to render her blind.

Notwithstanding her anal fetish, her ass is not that big.

We don't think you're always pathetic.

Fortunately, Sofia Coppola did not, which allowed me to see Lost in Translation last Friday. Since doing so, I have developed a thing for Scarlett Johansson.

Careful, that's not much different from a thing for jailbait (and ignoring her TITs, maybe boys).

I was hoping it was Mike Damone.



This is some great iced tea, Stacey!

Thank you. I have been meaning to look into this guy for quite some time, as I found him very sexy when I was a teen. Did he die? Morph into Judd Nelson?

Paigs, sweetie, looks like my awards ceremony of yesterday has reinvigorated your award granting spirit. Mulitple Bilmores in one day! My. Don't worry, I don't think it's derivative. It's probably just excitement left from the Emmys. Well, keep at em.

No PAIGSotD award today, though SD certainly tried. Even you, Paigs, just couldn't muster up enough verbose meaningless banter to live up to expectations. Kind of a phone it in day, aye? Well, that kind of staleness comes with age, but I'm sure you'll still have some days. Who knows, maybe this will have to be a weekly thing instead. Looking forward to what the morning brings...

Amateur hour. Folks, lets get this guy a scholarship to the Less School of Flaming. Leagl, can you set up a donation spot on the board?

Edited to add this great tribute. The great thing about being a tributee is that sometimes you dont een have to do your own work or phone it in. Now I dont have to cavort with the masses strewn across the Strollpast Highway who take weak and derivative shots in order to get someone, anyone to notice them (another sympton of the midlife crisis that befalls married, middleaged men fwith ho hum lawyer jobs and more ho hum lives). I can just use this:

Your [awards] post was pathetic and derivative of me. You cannot even hope to aspire to the great heights I have achieved on this board. I am an icon and you are a poser whose time has [never arrived, and never will]. Go talk to your [fellow of counsel track forty something colleagues], creep. Or get some original material. Don't try to use mine because I'm cool and in with the in crowd and you are a dirty old man who's married and squicks everyone out.


oh, and only those with FB cred get to call me Paigs. To you its paigow, or miss princess if you are crusty.

They were blessing the food*. Not sure why they did it with a cart. A Buddhist monk used to walk through my local organic-type supermarket regularly and do the same thing.

*actually, blessing the food is not really correct. I think what they were doing was extending loving-kindness towards the food and meditating on it, but I think it amounts to the same thing.

I always thought Buddists were completely about helping others, but I saw the darker side once.

On vacation in Thailand at one of the touristy temples, I hear the thump-thump of a basketball. Turns out the temple grounds also held a school, and young teens went there to live and be taught Buddism for a year or two. They also had a full court.

Anyway, I find the court, and one of the kids says "5 on 5?" This was the only English I heard in the game. I'm thinking a Buddist b-ball game would be infinite, precise, and beautiful passes to cutting teammates; with no one being materialistic enough to ever shoot.

So we start to run and......I was really wrong. They were the worst ball hogs I've ever seen. They could shoot pretty accurately, but they didn't even think of passing. Passing was so not a part of the game that when I passed, at first, the ball was hitting them and bouncing off. They weren't even thinking of it as an option. The concept apparently didn't translate to their game.

So, always remember, while these nuns were going around blessing the food, they were probably secretely coveting the bacon, or in Atticus' whole food grocery store, perhaps the organic saffron infused tempeh.

Deep even in a Buddist heart, there is some selfishness. Althought, the b-ball guys were really just trainees. Maybe all the ball hogging was sort of a Rumspringa kind of thing.

SD: Now tell me, does my position hold watah!

ltl: No! Your position is wrongue!

Thurgreed(although ltl wishes she looked like Marisa Tomei)Marshall

TM,

Ya know, I'd be happy to look as nasty as Pesci if it meant i could bang Marisa Tomei. I just saw Aneger Management. The sole redeeming aspect of that car wreck of a flick was that Tomei is wearing her mid-to-late thirties very well. Oh, and John Turturro again stole the show. That cat is so underrated.

S(Nicholson was OK, but he was basically just doing the same ole' "crazy Jack" shtick)D

[Mmmm, Burger (C.J.)]

In a bid to compete with chicken nuggets and cheese sticks, the national cattlemen have come up with deep-fried cheeseburger-fries/rings/nuggets.

Yum!

Beef--it's what's for dinner.

1) Why does that last statement need to be put in a parenthetical?

2) wearing her mid to late thirties well? What actress doesnt? What attractive woman irl isnt? Do you know anyone who was hot and suddenly looks really old and haggard bc she hit 35? Remember, Sebby, that 35 is the new 25.

Oh yeh, I forgot. you think SATC is a hag fest. good thing you are a guy, they age better.

I appreciate the endeavors of professional criminals who are able to put together an absolutely flawless plan.

I am sure that many of these flawless plans are executed and we never hear a word about them.

Then there are the ones tripped up by the same silly thing . . . people's inability to keep their mouths shut.

In Chicago, police were led to 308 kilos of cocained in a warehouse with a street value of $39 MM. The perfect plan: the bricks of cocaine were shipped from Mexico inside vats of frozen guacamole.

I think you'll find that both number variables will now increase incrementally, coincidently matching your advance in age.

(For instance, did you know that 85 is the new 75?)
