I can no longer hear the phrase "look sharp" without thinking of Dizzee Rascal. "Dress Right Look Sharp" is his finest work. Thank you Wonk.
On an unrelated note, I get paid time and a half for billing more than 8 hours in a day, which doesn't happen all that often, but might now start to happen more. I'm a walking set of indifference curves.

A Poem
I love you, K-Grease
In the same intermittent way
That Roddy loved Chiara
Or Flo loved Zack
Or a dozen willowy starving ingenues have loved a Probst.
And every time that Heather
Squints into the camera
With her scrunched up face
And whines about
Virginia or Sara fucking up
I laugh at her
And wonder if she's bi.
You are K-Grease!
I want you to make my Wellington
You're the one who's going to kill it
The way that Gary Goldman killed it
With his bit about role playing.
I wonder if his girlfriend is bi.
You've come so far, K-Grease
Since you showed the crack of your ass
Like Richard Hatch did, before he pissed off the judge
And got fifty three months in jail.
Maybe he'll be eating Garrett's food
Amid the upswept flight
Of a thousand paper cranes.

This is a stupid analogy. Aside from the fact that both are A list actors and producers, I have no idea what you're talking about. Is it about acting? DO you think Cruise will be able to get those plum roles that he was losing to Gibson before? Simply writing that statement reveals its inanity. Moreover, Mel will continue to choose his own projects, and produce them through his own Icon production company. He might get less favorable terms with distributors (Disney) on Icon's future movies, but that won't affect Cruise/Wagner's terms with Paramount et al. Cruise/Wagner is not Icon's main competition -- they make ultra-mainstream pictures. Cruise/Wagner are not in the best position to fill the void left from Gibson's presumptive demise.
I guess we'll find out if Mel has alienated himself from his audience once his zany fucking Mexican Mayan/Inca/Whatever Apocalypto movie comes out. When it doesn't do anything close to "Passion of the Christ"-level business, which it won't, people will blame it on the DUI/anti-semitic stuff. This is also stupid. The real reason is that far fewer people want to pay to see a movie about Mexican indigeneous peoples than about their lord and savior Jesus Christ.
Disney is on full blown spin control now. We'll see how Apocalypto does. I would guess $15M first weekend.

I hear tell he sends his (young single gay male) lawyer very nice presents for Christmas and such -- a box set of Audrey Hepburn movies last year. Take that FWIW.

I know. It is hard to accept that you would be doing porn with pretty hairless-bodied blondes instead of swarthy hirsute* dwarves if only you'd gotten str8 to represent you instead of gatti.
Live and learn, my monkey friend.
*one might almost say simian

Land's End
J abboud
Ike Behur
Gianluca Isaia
Also, should I focus on stripes? Doesn't matter.
Finally, I have been thinking of getting a new colostomy bag. Are there any recent (last 3 years) improvements i should be on the watch for? which brand- should I pay the extra for Convatec or have Coloplast, Cymed, and Hollister caught up?

ETA: Polo and Gap oxfords are great at hiding man boobs.

Hate to break it to the board but Mel will probably do better at the box office now. Passions of the Christ is the 10th most popular movie of all time. And it was in FUCKING ARAMAIC.

I for one like the jib cut of the new, Angry Str8. Now that so many posters have become toothless caricatures of their former selves we need a new firebrand to take up the, um, torch. And what better way to start a Friday than to log on and find a post calling Francis an idiot for suggesting that Tom Cruise suck up to the Hollywood Jews?

More good news for you! You're not breaking any laws after all!
http://www.smh.com.au/articles/2006/...198267321.html
- Sex-starved wife calls police for help
Police in the German city of Aachen received an unusual call for help when a woman telephoned to complain her husband was not fulfilling his sexual obligations.
After the couple had been sleeping in separate beds for several months without intimate contact, the 44-year-old woman woke the husband, 45, in the middle of the night and demanded he satisfy her needs, police spokesman Paul Kemen said on Thursday.
When her advances were refused, a row broke out and she called the police and asked them to intervene, he added.
"The police officials did not feel able to resolve the dispute, let alone issue any kind of official order," Kemen said.
"And because no crime or infringement could be identified, all they could do was file a report in case intervention might be required at a later date," he added.

It's advice not an analogy- but I agree it was dumb. In T's defense he hasn't been to as many as you and I have. T, they're not fun- the wife's family counts my drinks and there's never cream for the coffee- and don't even get me started on Honey Baked corned beef.
