You know, I had never really thought of that (having never feasted my eyes on such a sight...), but thanks for the mental image, dude. No, really.

Here, I'll gross you out a little more... A buddy of mine claims he saw Alan Dershowitz sporting this look on some isolated beach on Nantucket or M's Vineyard.

My buddy said he's a natural redhead.

Yes, I know I didn't need that last line.

It seems like these days, the only music on comercials is down-tempo ambient electronica. I hear pop songs at the department store, but not enough to really make an impression. I don't think I go to too many bars or clubs that play Top 40 type music. Usually, if I am going out, it is to see a band. Even if just to a bar, it seems like tons of bars have a DJ spinning house music or some variation. It is not that heard to not be exposed to pop music. Like, everyone makes references to that milkshake song, but as far as I know, I have never heard it or anything else by whoever sings it.

Concur. This is largely the reason I don't know anything about popular music. The only music I'm exposed to is at the gym or in spinning class. Where else do you hear music? I don't watch tv (not that I'm above it -- I just don't have time during the week, and on the weekends, I watch movies, not MTV or whatever). I don't drive myself to work, and the taxi driver usually has either some ethnic station on, or talk radio. When I drive myself somewhere, I either listen to news radio or CDs, and my clock radio is set to news radio.

I wouldn't even know an outkast song if I heard it (I probably have heard one, but don't know it.) The only reason I could pick out an eminem song is because I saw 8-Mile.

Please don't mention pressing in the same sentence as tits. Ouch. Having a cat* knead on the boobs can be most unpleasant.

Hey, when you're gettin' pussy, you take what you can get. Quit being so picky.

Originally posted by dtb one of them would work half the year as a secretary, and the other half in Greece as the headliner at some spot on Mykonos (I'm sure I spelled that wrong) -- tough life, huh?)

That reminds me of my father-in-law's old secretary, whom we shall call Ron. Ron was a braided hair and makeup wearing Black gay man who went and got himself breast implants, and worked 1/3 of the year in Thailand, where he apparently had a successful career as a lounge singer at some internationally known hotel (e.g. Intercontinental, Ritz, etc., I don't remember which).

The best part of this is that my f-in-l was in the military, so Ron worked the 2/3 of the year he wasn't in Thailand on a military base in western Europe.

I will now defend the use of the term belly, particularly in the word "bellyache." Surely there is no other word that adequately conveys the feeling of the phrase "quit your fuckin' bellyachin', you whiney little bitch."

BR(imagining myself dancing in a circle around Sebby in a cropped top singing "belly belly belly belly!" at him, for some bizarre reason)C

And now I've got a picture of you doing that and Alan Dershowitz bottomless in my head. Its quite unsettling.

Ugh. You just reminded me of the one reason I might join Mel Gibson in rejecting Vatican II - a millenium of superb music down the toilet, to be replaced by what? Crappy hippy shit and amateurishly played guitars. What clearer evidence could one want of the work of Satan?

BR(if they would only let parishes freely perform latin masses again, I might even accept priests facing the congregation like they're performing a skit instead of the altar like they're worshiping God)C

Relax, Anachronism Girl. Despite early victories (such as the parish of my youth), the peasants didn't succeed in overthrowing the established order. Outside of college towns and large cities with "Bohemian" neighborhoods, there ain't a whole lotta folk Masses going on these days. And there are Catholic churches that offer services in Latin.

When I am in a church built before WWII (for example, Our Lady of Extreme Discomfort downtown), I want a formal Mass -- preferably with a sixtyish Irish priest dressed in colorful vestments. But in a modern church like St. Biff's out in the suburbs (or in the parish hall at OLED for overflow Mass), I kind of like seeing the Franciscan brown robes of a younger bearded liberation theory priest and listening to folk music.

edited to note that I attend Mass approximately once every year or so, so ymmv.

He worked as my f-in-l's secretary. Typing, filing, you know, secretary shit.*


*Deliberately gruff. (Some) secretaries work very hard and my job would be more horrible without them.

I hate it when my mom visits and plays with the cats, saying "Look at the little pussy... Such a cute pussy..." I just can't deal with it. If I hear her from the other room, I can't help but imagine she's in a '70s porn. "Pussy" as a term for cats should be banned.

Did you ever think that she might be having flashbacks?

Aw, dude. You imagine your mom in a porn flick? You are one sick fuck.

(You seem to be a little too generous with details today.)

A friend of mine works at Dreamworks, and she's screening Shrek 2 tomorrow. She says that Puss in Boots is a major character that we're all going to fall in love with.

Amen. I hate it almost as much as I hate the term "belly." Ever hear a grwon person say they had a bellyache? I chick I knew used to say that all the time. I nearly slapped her Charlie Murphy-style on principle several times.

How else do you describe the unfortunate circumstance of landing in the water flat on your abdomen when trying to perform a fancy dive? Bellyflop is the only descriptive enough term. I'm going to have to ask for a special dispensation, I guess.

Granted.

In advance, no, Belly the rock band does not get dispensation.
