What percentage of the population over the age of 30 [this is flexible -- it could be 25, 35, whatever, just not over 50] needs corrective eyewear?

Probably easiest to find the answer for the US population, but any population will do.

(Yes, I tried, and came up with bupkus.)

"60% of all Americans and 90% of people above the age of 43 require corrective lenses."

Who's Bryson?

He's a Federal circuit Judge I argued in front of last week, but I was just insulting Ty, not supportingBryson.

HA! You know, when I was a kid, I thought he was an Irish gent -- you know, Peab O'Bryson.

Sadly, I am not kidding.

I dislike the "Denise the hairdresser" look, but isn't the vapid, overcoiffed "wife-of-[insert successful husband here] cruising in her S500 4Matic to get a manicure" look just a high rent version of that same white trash look? I mean, isn't most of the cookie cutter look you see in the waelthy burbs a variety of that white-trashedness, just with a few more bucks to throw at it? Is a facelift really different than a boob job? How about a nose job? Is that OK? I'm not challenging or disagreeing with you, I'm just making an observation.

Trying to be more than we are is why we don't still live in Caves.

And you are a close second. Very close.

Why do you say "claiming"? Just because we're both repped by gatti, counsel to the sockstars, doesn't mean it wasn't real.

If this was a stunt, then I don't want to be right.

Wrong on the "wrong." Did you see the "even if," or did they not teach you what that means at "Yale"?

And whiff, to boot.

Don't you go putting quotes on my Yale, bitch.

Admission: I gave Tom's agent the talking points and stage notes you guys used in your last press tour. I think he took the "jump for joy" note too literally.

I only read half of this, but yes. Fitness fanatics (fanatics) are often compensating for a lack of beauty as well (or for the older gals, a loss of beauty if they had it). Truly beuatiful people don't need cut biceps or whatever. Of course some fitness fanatics are also just replacing one addiction for another,

So SS is 6' 5" now? Aren't we a very special group.

You would hate him. My sister brought me "A Walk in the Woods" and "Iron John" (by some other equally insipid author) while I was in the Hospital without other reading material. That more or less defines a circle of hell.

I'm pretty sure that he made up a purported traveling companion in his Australia book so that he could pass off his schtick as dialogue between the two of them. Which wouldn't be the biggest sin in the world if I liked his schtick, but I don't.

You should try reading something besides Charles Bukowski, Hank.

No, slave is just a shortie (can't you tell he has a napoleon complex, consiglierie) and he is nestling into shifter's bosom. A very loving shot. I don't think anyone was acting.

Can I send you a picture? I want to know if I'm truly beautiful, because if I am, and fitness doesn't matter, I want to pack on the fucking feedbag and let myself reeeaaallly fucking go.

Please let me know. I've years of glazed hams, big macs and triple fudge sundaes to catch up on...

This likens beauty to height. You either got it genetically, or you aren't going to have it. Pretty harsh, isn't it?
