Penzke thinks he is funny. But we'll see how funny he is when he has one of these pointed up his kilt.

No doubt he would enjoy that bad action, although his history indicates he might like a nice Merkava a bit more. Of course, as y'all know, the Merkava is the main battle tank in service with the Israeli armed forces.

Is that his nose or a reflection from the armor? If it is a reflection, he might be hot. If it is his nose...well...not.

edit: on second thought (look) it doesn't matter, he is not hot.

Um, honey, put down the remote and the beer and go have sex with your husband.

Any thoughts on Granny glasses on cute, thin women? Is it too Adam Ant, or is it a nice contrast?

It's subliminal. Cover up the big barrel and see if he's anywhere near as attractive.

Yeah, I know that the Board has moved on to discussing baseball and flame wars and all sorts of interesting topics, but I had to comment on what a crappy list this was.

Sidd already mentioned that you should just leave jazz albums to a separate list if you're going to shortchange them. Kind of Blue not in the top 10? John Coltrane ranked #102 with the Zombies over 20 places ahead at #80?! The Zombies. Think about that for a second.

Here are some pairings that show how flawed the list is:

#58 Trout Mask Replica by Captain Beefheart is better than
#72 Purple Rain
#89 Dusty in Memphis
#100 In the Wee Small Hours by Frank Sinatra

#103 Sweet Baby James by James Taylor is better than
every rap album except P.E.'s It Takes a Nation of Millions to Hold Us Back
any R.E.M. album

#180 The Definitive Collection by Abba is better than
#197 Murmur by R.E.M.
#245 Bryter Later by Nick Drake
#358 Singles Going Steady by the Buzzcocks (twice as good!)

#200 The Downward Spiral by Nine Inch Nails is better than
#346 Three Feet High and Rising by De La Soul (#346!)
#303 Grace by Jeff Buckley
#454 Getz/Giberto

And, look who placed ahead of Radio City by Big Star (#403):
#384 Pyromania by Def Leppard
#396 Eliminator by ZZ Top
#363 Ray of Light by Madonna
#367 Is This It? by The Strokes
#67 The Stranger by Billy Joel

Cette liste, elle est merde.

As watches are so important, and as I'm in the market for a new one...

Can anyone suggest a day-date watch that doesn't look like something worn by a Bennigan's manager?

Try to keep it under $500. I know Rolex makes a day-date watch, but I need to pay off my loans. I've been looking on-and-off for over a year, so I remember the discussion on the Stalin Board, but none of the candidates were day-date watches.

And I'm not talking about chronographs with 15 different dials and displays. I don't need to know where North is or how far under water I am.

Advice appreciated.

(And yes, my shoes are above-average in quality.)

Can there be any doubt that Renee looks better when she actually eats? She looks like she's in a better mood, too.

I think she looks Not Great in both pics. Her ideal weight is obviously somewhere in between the two extremes. How much weight has she gained for the part this time? I still have trouble picturing her with the White Stripes dude. I never thought of her as a Heather Locklear type.

Those pics have to be digitally altered. How can anyone pork up like that in about 6 months? She looks 30 lbs heavier in that December picture.

You fucking idiot, she is doing it for a reprise of the Bridget Jones character. She has repeatedly discussed how much food she has been consuming in order to beef up. You are not FB worthy.

It may be a typo from Gawker -- the place where the pictures originally came from gave the skinny Rene picture a date of May 2002. Or it may be that the Krispy Kreme diet works. I dunno -- at any rate, she looks better now.

Here's the original pic.

That is more believable. I can see someone gaining that much weight in a year and a half. But to gain it in 6 months is just not believable.

I think she looks too heavy in the recent pic, but too skinny in the earlier pic. She needs to be somewhere inbetween. Her arms are too fat in the recent picture and too skinny in the earlier picture.

The funny thing is that I am so out of it from a pop culture standpoint, I don't know who that is. I prefer it that way.

I disagree -- she looks horrible in the Skinny Renee pic, and good in the Bridget Jones Sequel pic. Sure, maybe her ideal weight is somewhere in the middle, but she's a heckuva lot closer to it now. Maybe we can agree that she was at that ideal in Jerry McGuire.

Apropos of nothing, Heather Locklear is one of those people who looks better as she ages. I never found her attractive in her Dynasty or TJ Hooker days, but she is now a hottie. And if she's had work done, it doesn't look too obvious.

She has had her eyes done, which needed it. She has probably had a few fillers, too, which tend to look very natural unless they are overdone a la Meg Ryan.

And I agree that she looks better as she has aged. Her jaw line was too angular when she was younger and the mid-face sagging has helped to kind of square her jaw off a bit. It is a softer look.
