Flipping through the channels last night I came across Risky Business. At that point I realized that I have never seen this movie. Should I rent it and watch it or just let it slide? Factor in that I hate Tom Cruise.

Absolutely, it's one of the classic movies of our generation. And do rent it; the tv version is pretty heavily edited.

I can't think of anything less appealing.

The only thing worse than Tom Cruise in his underpants would be ... Tony Robbins in Tom Cruise's underpants.

Of course, that can be said about any movie. Except Leaving Las Vegas.

Schindler's List too. Too many bathroom breaks.

Yes. That, and Ferris Bueller's Day Off.
That would be a great double feature - as long as the booze holds out.

Yeah. For that one, I think you need to stick with the oxycontin.

The ears of Bassett Hound Mr. Jeffries were measured at 11.5 inches, qualifying him for the 2004 Guinness Book of World Records. His ears are insured for $47,800.


LONDON, Sept. 24 — If you can pluck a chicken in under 4.4 seconds or swallow 95 worms in half a minute, your chance of glory awaits in the ultimate achievers’ book. Keep bell-ringing till you are 101 years old or unhook 17 bras with one hand in under a minute, and your place is assured in Guinness World Records. OR WHY NOT try something completely different — invite round your 982 closest friends and set the record for the most people to sit on whoopee cushions at the same time.
“People really do the most remarkable things,” said Guinness editor Claire Folkard, reflecting on the book, which gets 60,000 record claims a year.
“The fascination is just endless,” she told Reuters on the eve of the 2004 edition’s being published in Britain. “The crazy stuff is a lot of fun.”

And I add this just because I like the guy's name...The book was launched in 1954, brainchild of Hugh Beaver, managing director of the Guinness Brewery.
And I never knew the connection with the beer.

Fill in my FB history: who was originally responsible for this phrase and the ensuing irritation?

And as I don't watch SportsCenter or whatever the show is from which "The Whiff" springs, or any sports show, for that matter, TM, could you tell me what "The Whiff" means on the show?

Baseball. Strike out, swinging.

And as far as "case of the Mondays," go rent Office Space, right now.

Speaking of the "to be read" pile, anyone have a favorite magazine that they read cover to cover, Letters to the Editor and all?

Cook's Illustrated (Best Magazine Ever). Sunset. Until recently, Harper's (damn Tivo).

I've considered skipping medical appointments because I'm too engrossed in an article in the Atlantic Monthly in the waiting room. I think to myself: You know, you really should subscribe to the Atlantic Monthly so you can stop faking these medical problems. It's gotten to the point where even my gynecologist is telling me I'm a hypochondriac, and I adore her.

Well, almost a full two countries care about their women's soccer teams.

Can't they skip all of this World Cup nonsense and just have the U.S. play China in a 7-game series?

Can they just skip it all together?

"Oh, and they're still running, oh and he's kicked the ball again, and another guy's kicking the ball, and yet another and now some other guy's stolen it, and he's running and running and he's kicking it to someone else who's running toward the goal and ohhh, my, people, at this rate we'll have a barn burner! Its only one hour into the game and its alredy 2 to 3!!!"

Who cares? The big question is, does Halle have the hots for Durst and if so, why (GOD, WHY?)?

September 25, 2003 -- THE unlikeliest friendship in Hollywood these days? Halle Berry and Fred Durst. Oscar-winning Berry stars in Durst's new video, "Behind Blue Eyes." "They kiss for like 40 seconds," a spy said. "So basically, to get that shot right, Fred and Halle had to kiss for hours." Despite what Britney Spears says, Durst is evidently a good kisser. He and Berry are now tight. "Fred has been to the set of 'Gothika' once in Vancouver already and then he flew back up to be with her again," we're told. We are sure everything is platonic as Berry is married to Eric Benet.

It's a good thing I'm cute.

Really, that was embarrassing. I missed it completely! What's the word for that?

When I saw TM's post entitled "The Whiff," my first thought was oh, no, not another dirty ass story. Obviously my brain then ceased working.

Probably because her husband has been receiving 'help' for his 'sex addiction.' If every hetero guy on the planet would happily go to bed with you, would you put up with that shit?

Though why she can't find anyone less repulsive than Fred Durst to hook up with is anybody's guess.
