My apologies. I accidently read this. But Atticus is correct, of course. Saying that you like to "party" makes you seem like a Wayne's World extra. Follow it up with "like a rock star" and there is no hope for you. Instead, you should say that you like to "engage in the act of partying." While this may technically violate Atticus' "party as a verb rule," it does so with class.

PAR-TEE!

Thank you, dtb, for answering a trivia question that came up this weekend (what street in NY contains the diamond district).

And who hasn't hurled on the street in NYC in broad daylight? I have once in the last decade. But it was on Broadway near Little Italy. And I wasn't dressed for work.

Not sure how many Japanese tourists ended up with a snapshot of that lovely moment. Guess I'll find out if I ever run for public office.

More things to do before I die.

Maybe I should get drunk on a horse in NYC and hurl in the streets just to get a two-fer.

However, I did black out once, but didn't lose consciousness. I fell off a horse onto very hard ground on my head, and had a concussion. I was sure I had lost consciousness, because I couldn't remember getting from Point A to Point B, but when I asked how long I had been "out", my friend responded that I'd not lost consciousness.

Outable, but what the hell. I fell off something near a small town far from home a few years ago, and got taken to the local hospital, most of which I don't recall. A little bit later, they were going to release me. I called my Dad, who asked whether I'd had a concussion. I said, the doctor said no. He said, well, what happened? I said, I don't remember. He said, I think I'd better talk to that doctor. In the end, they kept me for observation for the night.

Since then, I make sure to incur head injuries close to home.

Per the re: line, you should be having sex on the horse while hurling in NYC. I don't think you are required to be in the diamond district or Little Italy; perhaps you could do it in front of your favorite NYC law firm.

They didn't say her name.

All they said was "everybody move to the back of the bus".

She trademarked that phrase?

I'd hate to think what marks Gandhi might hold.

Unfortunately, the name of the song was "Rosa Parks," making her case for appropriation of publicity or likeness somewhat clearer than your hypo.

In other news, I am pleased to report that images of dislocated elbows have been replaced on Yahoo! News with festive boobage.

Yeah, the first article I read sort of skipped that point, making a big deal out of how they didn't sing her name.

And the hypo dies . . .

I think some of them do. I believe that there is this filter in most (hetero) women's brains that causes them to actually perceive men who are successful/powerful to be better looking than they are. It is not just money that can cause this. It is power, too. Probably more power than anything, it is just that power is often achieved with money in this society.

I think they're just completely separate issues. He's a troll, but he's powerful; he's a pig, but he's got cash. I don't think it makes anyone appear less ugly--no-one's fooling themselves. It's just that they value the cash and status more.

The practical problem for the arm candy (aside from overcoming the nausea thing) is just putting on paper an agreement that will still leave one flush when the boobs drop and Ugly Rich Guy's moved on to the next bimbo.

She has big tits and therefore it sounds better to my ear to call her Tit Fuck, you waste of fucking space.

That's the point. You shouldn't have tried in the first place you mental ass midget.

Transvestite Potter Wins Turner Prize.

I think it's important to note that the fact that he dresses like this

doesn't necessarily say anything about his sexuality, but the fact that he makes pottery does.

This, of course, is gangsta: "'It's about time a transvestite potter won the Turner Prize,' said Perry, who appeared at the prize ceremony in a lilac dress with puffed sleeves."
