My second favorite type of sock, after lame-ass irritating socks, are flame socks.

Thanks!

YOU'RE WELCOME !!!!!




Not that I had anything to do with it mind you, I'm just running cover for Penske

The hot-dog stand underneath the viaduct at 51st Street.

Best one-post sock ever - funny to infinity plus one.

So, my mil is getting a promotion, and I'd like to send her flowers. NOT FTD or similar crap. Can any of you DC types tell me a good flower shop in the vicinity of 20th and K NW?

I think she is hot. It is my opinion and you cant talk me out of it.... You cannot tell me otherwise bc beauty is in the eye of the beholder....

Edited to add that I guess if I take hot literally- which means more sexy than beautiful as the judges of Are You Hot would tell me, then I dont think Carolyn was hot. BUt there are few few women I would want to have sex with , and strangely, they arent necessarily beautiful.

Paigow, we get it. You think the world of Carolyn Bessette. It is your opinion, and you're entitled to it.

The thing is, on this Board, it's the minority opinion. Most of us think she is horse-faced, too thin, and not sexy. We're entitled to our opinion, and none of your personalities can talk us out of it.

And yes, the rest of us were all using the word "hot" in its commonly accepted meaning of "physically attractive" instead of "has the lifestyle I want and has that frigid ice-queen thing that I aspire to."

So I guess I'm saying she's a 6.

She seemed pretty sexual in Sirens when she was caressing a naked Tara Fitzgerald with Elle MacPherson and Kate Fischer.

But I'm a prole, what do I know?

So, for those FB'ers who dain to eat with the masses:

Which fast food outlets do you have a soft spot for?

me: In and out burgers (though limited to west coast)
Round Table pizza, Popeye's chicken, and McDonald's fries.

I prefer Fatburger to In & Out. Carl's Jr. is a viable third option. I can still eat the Six Dollar Burger w/o the bun, but the Spicy Crispy sandwich has breading (and is most assuredly addictive).

Pizza Hut seems like an improvement from most places on the West Side. In SF, I choose North Beach Pizza. In LA, it's morally wrong to eat KFC or Popeye's when you can go to Roscoe's Chicken & Waffles.


And those commercials for Kaopectate (or whatever that medication is) where the guy has an attack in the hottub and the girl has an attack when dancing in the record store, are nauseating.

I finished Jhumpa Lahiri's first novel The Namesake last night and it was wonderful.

I loved her short story collection Interpreter of Maladies and the novel captured the same feeling of joy and displacement and loss. As a cultural anthropolgy, it takes you on a journey through Bengali culture in India and America.

Thanks to Sidd and others for the recommendation.

I am reading Sedaris' me talk pretty one day. I forget who suggested it, but very funny.

Also, related to absolutely nothing, I actually had a good experience at a car dealership today. Amazing but true. They even repaired things under warranty that they probably shouldn't have.

Great book. I am currently reading Naked by Sederis, which is also quite good. I've been on a bit of a 30-something memoir kick lately and have read recently Loser Goes First by Dan Kennedy and a couple of books by Augustin Burroughs. The Dan Kennedy book is quite amusing in parts. The Burroughs books are not as funny (mainly because aspects of his life don't lend themselves to lots of laughter), but his writing style is quite engaging.

Apropos of nothing (ahem), Sederis and Burroughs are both openly gay and discuss coming out and other issues experienced by them as gay adolescents. Kennedy is straight. Kennedy has done work for McSweeneys.

That would be the entire FB.

A not great photo of the Olsens...

I guess that would be why I couldn't remember who suggested it.

On getting laid on reality TV shows. In the preview last night for next week, they disclosed that she and Mike are hot and heavy.

I may be over reality tv. I gave up on Joe Money after two episodes, though I dearly miss that Pam Anderson without the tits from Sweden. She was really pretty and cute. And in a trashy way, so I should get no objections from the philistines who just want someone who looks like they would such their dicks without having dinner purchased before hand.

Bacchelor= I had to quit. This show jumped the shark somtime between Andrew Firestone's fifth and sixth utterance about the amazing ladies. Yawn. We need more rich heirs and their poo-pooing brothers on the dilution of the family dinero.

I did see RIch Girls last night for the first time (not the new episode at 1030, but the earlier one). This show is boring. It didnt even inspire contempt. Nothing. nachos. Nada. I will say that Frederic Fekkai did not do much to improve the looks of either of these amazing ladies, at least in terms of their hair. Good to know. Is Born Rich gonna be on again? I would like to see that one.

I am also still watching Survivor, like once every three weeks whenI am home on a Thursday. I heart Rupert= he looks like some guy who I met at the Sacto 89 shows, with his wife. Me and my friend Bob from Indiana who got busted in Hamilton spent three solid days tripping with these people. Rupert is bringing back the fond memories. Otherwise, well, its kinda boring.

I am even wondering if I can get into a new AI, though I suspect I can since it starts with snarky comments, which I love.

Without a love of reality tv, what is there? I cannot get into new regular tv shows anymore. I do not want to try out WHoopi, and I certainly have to avoid Vegas bc that wretched-bag her face- -Corey Feldman's scraps with the nose job almost as bad as Kathleen Robertson's- Vanessa Marcil is on it, and I hate her bc of her rodent face and anorexic body with a couple of funbags sewed on. How can someone with mulitple surgeries and an eating disorder still be this ugly? How can anyone marry Corey Feldman and still manage to land an acting gig with James Caan? I will do nothing to futher her career even if it is only givin one one milltionth of a Neilsen rating.

And I cant do 24. I tried it last season and it started off outstnading and then quickly become old. Ditto K Street.

Am I over television? Will I be limited to an endless loop of Sex and the City, Curb and Office reruns?

Is there anything at all coming on that sounds promising?

Thanks to you and Sidd for mentioning that The God of Small Things is a favorite; I picked it up for my recent vacation and absolutely loved it.

SPOILER
























I bawled at the end. It was truly cathartic. The buildup was almost unbearable.
