Did Burberry decide to drop-ship scarves to every woman in selected San Franciso ZIP codes? Every third woman I've seen this week has been wearing one.

An American wearing anything by Burberry is the fashion-equivalent of an American saying Cheers!

Not to mention how ugly those scarves are.

Jack Nicholson admits he uses Viagra, but says only when he's with more than one woman

(spree: Newspaper interview with Jack, sex talk, but no nudity).

Jack also thinks Viagra would save a lot of marriages:

"If these men could just take Viagra, say, twice a month, and really throw it to the woman - whether they wanted to or not - this would have saved many marriages I saw break up," says Nicholson, perhaps showing why marriage guidance has never been the career for him.

"You know, it is such a death knell when you say to someone; 'Honey, I can't do it. I can't fuck you anymore.' If anyone ever said it to me, I don't know that I would ever recover from it. We don't like to admit just how vulnerable we are. Sometimes, the more worldly and sophisticated we are, the more vulnerable we are underneath.''

My question is that when he said "whether they wanted to or not," did he mean whether the man wanted to or not or whether the woman wanted to or not. Makes a big difference.

Do men as a group not realize that it is not the fact that you fuck us that keeps us interested in staying with you? Or is it just men like Jack who don't realize this?

If you are a woman who has few options to have sex, maybe that twice a month fuck might keep you interested in staying with a man. But for those of us who can get sex any time we want to by just going to the corner bar and making eye contact with the guys in the bar,* sex isn't going to be what keeps us with you.

* that wasn't an attempt to let everyone know I am hot (although I am), it is just a statement of fact that if you are a woman and your level of attractiveness exceeds by even a bit the level of horrifying to look at, it ain't hard to find a guy who will fuck you. When it comes (pun intended) to whom they will fuck, men aren't too choosy.

The second employer starts over like it's the first workday of the year for you. You can claim a refund at the end of the year on your 2004 return.

Technically these are called parasitic twins, not second heads. It is literally one of a pair of conjoined twins that dies in utero and gets partially resorbed by the surviving twin.

Does anyone know which famous actor had a parasitic twin removed? I don't mean the nurse on South Park, either.

Infant Girl Dies in Dominican Republic Following Surgery to Remove Second Head

SANTO DOMINGO, Dominican Republic (AP) - An infant girl died Saturday after surgery to remove a second head, her mother said.

A medical team completed the operation Friday evening but said 8-week-old Rebeca Martinez had been susceptible to infection or hemorrhaging. The baby died 12 hours after the surgery, believed to be the first of its kind.

The second head, which doctors said threatened the girl's development, grew from the top of Rebeca's skull and had its own partly developed brain, ears, eyes and lips.

During the surgery, 18 surgeons, nurses and doctors had taken several rotations to cut off the undeveloped tissue, clip the veins and arteries, and close the skull using a bone and skin graft from the second head.

The operation was critical because the head on top was growing faster than the lower one, said Dr. Jorge Lazareff, the lead brain surgeon and director of pediatric neurosurgery at the University of California at Los Angeles' Mattel Children's Hospital.

Sort of. A Google search for "kept my countenance" turned up a bunch of hits, all 19th Century, and all in cases where the speaker, in reaction to the words or actions of another, was avoiding changing facial expression for tactical reasons. Since this is an internet board, not a cocktail party (much as it sometimes seems to be), and we weren't able to see that dtb had theretofore been keeping a straight face, using "countenance" as a noun seemed somewhat out of place.

I think dtb's been reading too much Austen lately.

Try running a google search for "cannot countenance." Among other recent entries is a quote from the Supreme Court brief in the Guantanamo prisoners case brief, numerous religious sites, and a sports column. All within the last couple of years.

It is Friday right?
Just for that I won't tell you to run out and buy some Ephedra before they take it off the market in April.

You took this the wrong way. I think paigow was thanking you for giving her an idea for her pending nuptials. Personally, I feel it puts to much pressure on the bride. Manipulating a cow's udders in front of you new in-laws and losing your virginity in the same day?

Hmmm. Where does one purchase this "deducted fica"?

Right. No duh. That's why I suggested that dtb use it as a verb instead. Only the noun usage is archaic.

Val Kilmer and Denzel have similar movies playing a hardcase SOB chasing down kidnappers. My money says Denzel's movie will be a superior product. It's a straight up search and destroy flick. Val Kilmer's has villians with some kind of secret plans that needlessly complicate the movie, that and William Macy doing a second rate version of Taylor Negron's character in "the last boy scout".

There is. Like Attica says, everything's on google.
