I can't believe I'm going to miss this!

Folks may be used to naked bikers at the Fremont Solstice Parade. But are they ready for bikers baring all around Queen Anne, downtown and splashing into the Seattle Center's International Fountain?
Rain or shine, some activists plan to show their sunny side tomorrow as part of World Naked Bike Ride Day. Seattle is one of 22 cities around the world, where riders plan to protest oil dependency and "to empower people to feel more comfortable with their bodies," said Daniel Johnson, the lead organizer of the Seattle ride.

Seattle police will allow the nude ride because, from a legal standpoint, being nude is not considered obscene behavior if it is at an event where nudity is expected. (Hey, look how progessive - you can't buy alcohol on a Sunday, or outside of a state run liquor store, but you can smoke pot at hempfest and you can be naked as long as you're on a bike).

What's really "out" is the about-to-be-made-obsolete talking about the wonders of technology.

IT geeks are polishing programs that will write next year's distribution agreement masterpieces, we all know that, and find Mr. Man "wanting to stay home" ironic because pretty soon he'll have no choice. That was, of course an implicit cruelty in your post.

But guess what flower? some geeks are working on a program that does snide comments on grammar AND can compose the occassional "that's so 1998 post." Sorry flower, but pretty soon you'll just be another "first roomer" trying to tread water like me

Nice try, Hank, but we both know that Mr. flower has been past more velvet ropes than guys like you and me (well, ok, you) will ever see in a lifetime. He does not fear the velvet ropes, he confronts them fully. He sneers at them, scoffs rakishly at them, he takes them home and skins them to make clothing. He struts right through while guys like us fling desperate pleas, like
"but I with" and "can you please check the list again?" Sure, we're in the club, but we're not in VIP gladhanding with Brad and Jen and doing quick bumps from Tara's pinkynail (ok, she's a skank, but she gets the good stuff, IYKWIM). He doesn't always have to produce next-level shit because he is on the side of the rope that defines the next level. The shit.

But it's not all bad, Hank. Life isn't so bad on our side. Like you once wrote, "show me a man who lives alone and has a perpetually clean kitchen, and 8 times out of 9 I'll show you a man with detestable spiritual qualities."

I have no idea what you said, but I feel better anyway.



Oh yeah,
Rush Limbaugh announces
end of his third marriage
Conservative radio commentator Rush Limbaugh announced Friday that he and his wife, Marta, are divorcing.

I guess the wife got tired of his 1 point.

Indeed. And why not?

Economists: "Money, it seems, does not buy more sexual partners." *

Less: "Guess again."

*The article has many other things that prove anecdotally untrue or are otherwise controversial.

Not more sex. Better sex. Money will get you the best trophy wives - just ask the Donald.

'Splain to him that at some point, Simon will get his ass kicked in by the cool kids, if there are any cool kids 'round your parts.

Fortunately for Simon, the cool-kids-quotient where he will be attending school is roughly zero.

Obviously, though he might get a beatin' going into school.

Fat mexican lesbians LOVE Morrissey.

All latina lesbians LOVE Morrissey, whether she is a fat or or a thin. Just like all white lesbians LOVE Madonna. These are apparently rules. In fact, white lesbians don't love Madonna, they LOVE Madonna. They L O V E Madonna.*

What's interesting is that white lesbians LOVE Madonna, but that Madonna, while white, is not a lesbian.** You would think the marriage to Guy Ritchie might be offputting, but you'd be wrong. Madonna gets a pass, but Ani DiFranco not so much.

* It would really suck if Leagl posted that she hated Madonna.

** I'm not denying that Madonna has had sex with women. I can't. However, if I were Madonna, I would deny having sex (not at the same time) with Vanilla Ice and Dennis Rodman.

What makes you think it's humor, Yankee?

Hmn. I WONDER why that is.

Underneath Their Robes, a blog that dishes on Article III judges, is accepting nominations for "Superhotties of the Federal Judiciary." Current nominees are Hull, J. (11th Cir.),* Raggi, J. (2d Cir.), Roberts, J. (D.C. Cir.), Sutton, J. (6th Cir.), Wardlaw, J. (9th Cir.), and Wood, J. (S.D.N.Y.).

The N.D. Cal. has one or two people I might consider submitting, IYKWIM.

*Having a hard time imagining how a woman named "Frank M. Hull" can be a superhottie? Consider the competition.

Well, everyone is entitled to stray for Isabella Rosselini. That's a not a fair example.

I think it's obvious why lesbians were in love with Madonna back in the day. I've just not noticed a backlash after she married, had two children, moved to England, and started writing children's books.

Kimba Woods hot? nope. If there are double-anal photos of you on the net- YOU ARE A SKANK! Advise and consent not-with-standing.

And while I would like to claim my cherry went to someone Thurgreed hot, I've gotta admit; I feel like I've been on the recieving end of some anal from Avern Cohn and the Hon. Gerald E. Rosen, and they're NOT HOT, and I would like not to go on a second date IYKWIM.

PS please admire the discrecion not to turn this into a "professions not thought to be hot" Eva excuse.....
