True, but I don't think people do those things because anything has changed about them. They're still having the same internal conversations at 45 that they were having at 16. They've just had longer to brood about their unhappiness.

We know this is true. Now shut the f--k up about it and distract me with silly posts!

...regarding the rumor that Brian Urlacher a/k/a GOD is hooking up with Paris Hilton:

"Paris Hilton would be the greatest hate-fuck of all time."

No one else even comes close.

On the other hand, by the time you hit your 40's, you either learn to live inside your own skin, or, if you're like Sebby, you kill yourself, or if you're like Paigs, you just drink more. Which, now that I think of it, is really the same thing on a slower pace.

Well arent you Mister Healthy Living? John Blysow or whatever the name of the manorexic withthe bad dye job and the shaved bod is who hocks those fitness videos, better watch his toned ass.

NotBob,

Next time the Piggly Wiggly case settles, and you find yourself at loose ends, I invite you to come down South. I'll be happy to take you to several of the college football cathedrals around here and show you the sights. During the fall, they are glorious places to be.

(Though I rarely attend hockey games, I *still* remember the posts here and on the Stalin board with Ashley Judd in a hockey jersey, and will happily take your word for it.)

And I'll take you to a Notre Dame game, where you can count the number of hot girls on your thumb.

Even you're not stupid enough to believe that that was a serious post.

Here's something I never understand and it happens frequently enough for it to be named: Why do people point out the joke in someone else's joke? Is it because they think not everyone caught it? If that's the case, so what? If others didn't get it and aren't asking, joke's on them. (Especially if they thought this was a legitimate post by me.) Or could it be because you didn't fully understand the joke the first time, so when you make the same joke using different words you think you've discovered something? That's even worse.

Hell, my post wasn't even subtle, which (and watch carefully) WAS the joke. You fucked it up by missing it completely or pretending it was subtle.

So, what should we name this phenomenon? In honor of my favorite Sportscenter anchorman, I vote for "The Whiff."

I have always used the classic, tried and true, "um-friends."

Until the early '90s Miss Manners, too, advocated the term "Ummer," since that is in fact the term people most often actually used ("this is my daughter's ... umm... err"). It is (i) pronounceable and an organic growth of the language, (ii) not unnecessarily descriptive and (iii) not confusingly used to describe other relationships (which "partner" is).

That guy (Bladesdow?) is creepy. I've got some skin tone made simple advice for him: drink some water! I hate that bony-faced look that bodybuilders have. Blech.

Maybe you're not really talking about emotional development here, but either you were a much better person than I was at 17 or you and the people you know are depressingly stagnant.

No, that's not really what I mean. You do get much more sophisticated in your interactions with the world, and you do, of course, develop emotionally, but, whatever fears, joys, and insecurities you had at 17, you likely still have later, and you still always feel like that same kid, peering out and wondering where time went.

I call it the "No, I got the joke, I was just taking it a step further " post hoc rationalization for being a fucking moron phenomenon. RP was the queen of this for awhile, but hsa since "gotten it". I think of it as the "post hoc" for short.

Okay. It was starting to sound like a eulogy anyway.

Which provides me with an excuse to post this link, which gives you all the UK Cool Cats posters, including the Ashley one. The hockey jersey seems to fit her just fine.

every time he comes on I have to run to the clicker and get him out of my room bc he gives me nightmares. he is like a male calista flockheart with the head too big. i would wager he has had ribs removed a la tori spelling. its like, dude, you are fifty, you are not supposed to have every muscle showing, but if you do, please get buff so its not all skeletal looking. there is aging gracefully and there is manorexia. he has got to be the biggest creep around.

is there someone creepier on tv?
