Fashion Board--Penske . . . forever!

Mad TV is not funny. That sketch was a ripoff of an SNL one about critics fawning over The Sopranos.

Oh, and Margaret Cho is apparently thinner now. She started working out. That's probably a good thing, since she hasn't been funny since 1996.

I am being extradited. And before I could get my cheap sex change too. Fucking foreigners.

Joy. They're now actively encouraging men not to marry me:

Gawker has taken issue with this article, referring to it as "Smart Women Will Rip Your Dick Right Off" and checked into the author. Apparently, he has also written an article doing an economic comparison between getting married and just hiring hookers.

True story:

I once had an assistant that did something highly unethical (think along the lines forged a client document, falsified billing statement, refused to flush the toilet in the staff bathroom etc etc.).

He was fired shortly thereafter.

If you count the frivolous motions and counterclaims, refusals to comply with discovery because I was lazy (so I just genrally objected to everything), unnecessary travel time, billing for what Peter in "Office Space" called "zoning out" ... Shit, I'm well, well into 6 figures.

Not to beat a dead horse, but I was being sarcastic. I'm prettier than her.

One of the last vetiges of annoyance I have about this whole debacle is not that I was rated chubby or not attractive but that TM is a punk and a bully and tried to accuse me of lying or being a wack job about who pays attention to me, who flirts and who is nice to me. My experiences are just that, mine and I don't embellish.

maybe it works out in $$$, but as Spanky points out the wife wouldn't have had sex with three other guys that day, I mean excluding for Penske's mom of course.

I recently read The Good Life by Jay McInnerney and loved loved loved it.

It's certainly not far-fetched.

You think hookers all have maids?

I'll give her Margaret Cho. Not this one:



But on her best day, maybe this one:

If you are coming to Minnesota, you've got to read a Minnesota author.

I recently discovered a mystery series written by P.J. Tracy, a mother-daughter team who live in LA & MN. The first book is called "Monkeewrench." I like them because there is more than one main character and the writers have given them quite distinctive (though not particularly Minnesotan) personalities.

John Sandford is a more established crime-thriller writer. His first book, if you haven't read it, is "Rules of Prey."

Lorna Landvik writes very Minnesotan books, but they are more chick books.

Out of Minnesota, RT (I think) got me hooked on Jasper Fforde's books.

But maybe you should read "How to Talk Minnesotan" so you can understand us.

Ooooh! I just read that book (Monkeewrench). Never read that type of book - sort of accidentally lifted it from a salon (since returned) - but I liked it.

I tried too. Tongue reaches, but can't get close enough for sucking. Will report back with inflated results should that miracle ever occur.

The likely arc is tongue - sucking - tongue. Sigh. They change back.

I'm not big on these clubs, so I'm just asking: doesn't eye contact ruin the main purpose of being there? I get the play Spanky's making, but it seems a big risk with little % chance of reward.

They seem to me to be trying for eye contact. I assume it is for the inverse reason Spanky went for it - they know that if they look a patron in the eye, they're more likely to make the (likely a) guy feel they really like him so he'll give more money. That said, it seems kind of rude *never* to look them in the eye.

Are you a guy? I always assumed you were a chick.
