This sounds an awful lot like my experiences thus far with online dating! Coincidence? Except my last date was at lunch time so I couldn't get drunk.

PJ, thanks for the link to that depressing article about lawyers trying to date!

My thanks to whomever pointed out that the new Fleetwood Mac tune is basically a slowed down version of "Kodachrome." When that horrid FM tune comes on the radio, I can now hug my knees to my chest and rock comfortingly back and forth, thinking thoughts of a better song not being played. However, if this trick ruins "Kodachrome" for me, I will hunt you down and kill you. Your anonymity will not save you.

I realized last night that Zach Braff is Ray Romano minus 20 years. I'm not sure that's a good thing.

The link didn't work for me either, but I was able to see the designs by going to The Virtual Illusion Website

If you click on forums and look for leagleaze's post, you can see the three designs. None of them seemed impressive, but the second was the best of the lot.

Thanks, but it would help to know why you have the response you have. I need to direct them on how to make it what we want. So if you could be specific what do you like, what don't you like, what would you want to see.

Right now the colours are not a major part of it because it would need to be adapted for each of our themes.

No dog in fight, but my impression was that a lot of the WSJ's criticism was that CNN didn't just avoid reporting atrocities while under threat. It was that, to obtain access, CNN DID report, verbatim and without disclaimer, stories fed to them by the regime, giving the impression that they were CNN stories rather than regime propaganda.

And this is different from the way they cover Washington how?

The Eason Jordan thing made me squicky when I read it, no doubt. But sometimes it's hard to pick the lesser of two evils when there's a lot of evil going on.

I will watch this show because there is nothing else on at 9 on Mondays.

I will read a book. Not a high-brow book about philosophy or world events or something else that requires thinking, just a regular book.

I have no attention-span lately, so I haven't picked up a novel since I finished Dreamland in January. (Excellent book, by the way.)

Instead, I have been reading books of poetry.

I recently rediscovered a wonderful book that belonged to my mother: the Pocket Book of Modern Verse, edited by Oscar Williams, originally published in 1955. It opens with Walt Whitman and WH Auden is about as modern as it gets. It has all the heavy hitters of the period before they were fully accepted into the literary canon, so it provides an interesting survey of their work.

Sometimes, but not always.

But you get drunk anyway, hoping to force them back into your image of them.

A dangerous strategy to pursue. Sadly, Sidd gets no prettier as the process continues.

Stuff magazine is not a book.

And you're reading Details for the articles. Sure.

1. That you are on coffee number seven, at least.

2. That, realistically, you should look at stopping after two or three.

3. That, when you are over-caffeinated and get unnecessarily insulting, you really, really hate to be called on it.

Nice try. I believe I've gotten this response from you before. It means:

1. You didn't listen the last time I said I don't drink coffee.

2. That you know you are completely wrong.

3. You can't tell the difference between me making fun of Adder for a silly mistake and me being insulting.

4. You think you need to come to his defense for something so stupid.

No, dumbass. In this case it is measured by how connected one's eyes are to one's brain. He recognized the guy from Princess Bride, the line on the sign is from Princess Bride (and has been quoted here a million times) and has nothing to do with Iraq.

Also, please note that he himself said he was a dork for not catching it like two posts later.


Yez. You are a dork. But for different reasons, some of which have been outlined above.

Now go back to sleep.

I could not be more thrilled that a post full of vitriol won a K. Congrats TM.
Note: This is an unofficial str8 count and I may be flat wrong. Wronger than Pronger. But at least I get to leave at 3:45 today so as to go watch the Buds. Good luck to all the northern teams today, the Buds, the Wild and the Canucks.

3 down . . .

Rhys-Meyers for Bond?

Irish heart-throb Jonathan Rhys-Meyers may be set to become the next James Bond - taking over the role from fellow countryman Pierce Brosnan. The 25-year-old Bend It Like Beckham star screen-tested for the part of the world's favorite secret agent in London last week. . . . Other actors thought to be in the running include Gerard Butler and Clive Owen.

So does anyone else think Mr. Roy has looked amazingly mortal in the last two games?

I think that his thoughts today might turn back to a certain game 7 he "played" last year against Detroit. It'll be interesting how he looks the first time Marion rips a wrister low to the blocker side.

By my count, we are at 2969 (this should be 2970). The other posts are in our archive thread.

So, I expect many Klever posts soon.

Edited to add: you can check the post count by clicking on "The Fashionable" to see the separate threads.
