American usage is "blond" for both sexes.

Really? What about Gentlemen Prefer Blondes?

Yes, really. The site you point to even says that the distinction between "blond" and "blonde" generally carries over to British English but "[i]n AmE, though, "blond" is preferred in all senses."

How did you get turned on to the internet lawyer chatting board rage?

I actually read an article (from The Recorder maybe?) about the yahoo boards in my law school's career services office. I already had a yahoo ID, so I was halfway there. This was in the dying days of the Real GA's board.

Oh, and with $75 million, I would have a house on Lake Tahoe (the Nevada side, as my primary residence), a villa in Tuscany or on Lake Como, a penthouse apartment in San Francisco, another in London, and a third in Paris.

In my free time, I think I would run a home for wayward girls.

After all, you really have to give back to the community...
and they don't get wayward enough on their own.

Oh, and you'll have a much easier time ordering coffee if you simply order coffee. Try it this morning for a change of pace.

Blonde girl or woman, blond boy or man.

Those are a lot of options, but I choose one each of blonde girl and blonde woman.

They get even more confused by an order for cafe au lait, which is not even on the menu, and I don't like my coffee without a great deal of milk.

But your sarcasm is appreciated.

eBay is a bride and/or groom's best friend. Mrs. dL and I bought some kick-ass camera equipment for our honeymoon with the proceeds from the sale of crap gifts (crap in the sense that they were not our taste and or something that we wanted) on eBay.

I gotta bend your ear about setting up an Ebay auction. I have so much goddamn useless crystal that my place looks like Superman's hideout. I have more change bowls than I have change.

Here's a tip when buying wedding gifts: crystal is useless. And although people put china on their list, they don't really want that shit. They just do that because their stupid in laws tell them its "necessary". The simple rule is that if its the sort of wedding gift that one might have given in a Jane Austen novel, you shouldn't buy it.

I just did a wedding two weeks ago. Bought the couple a TiVo. They were thrilled. Great gift. Another good one is side channel surround speakers (lots of people don't have them), and you can't go wrong pitching in with someone else and buying the new couple a case of wine or booze to start a bar.

The crystal is exactly what we sold to get the camera gear, especially since we didn't register for it, and the stuff that we did get was odd (who buys 8 salad plates, and nothing else? Did you get it at Marshalls?)

Is it still titty fucking when the girl is on top and does so on the way down? Or is it restricted to the guy straddling the girl's chest?

B/c the latter bores the shit out of me.

No, that's not tit fucking, unless she keeps bobbing up and down on it, which, at that angle, seems a whole lotta work for very little reward (at least from her end of the stick).

Both variations bore the shit out of me. Too much work for a mediocre payoff.

Still, one has to admire the zeal and enthusiasm of a woman who performs the latter move...

If I ever get married you are SO invited.

I was out for drinks with friends the other day when a one friend said she had learned that a sex shop in town caries baby Jesus butt plugs. Everyone laughed. I then caused almost everyone at the table to emit shocked gasps or guilty giggles by suggesting that it could be sold in a package set with the Virgin Mary blow up doll. Is the idea of a Virgin Mary blow up doll that much more shocking than the reality of a baby Jesus butt plug? I suppose my hypothetical promotional tag line (something along the lines of "No matter how many times you use it, you are always getting her cherry.") exacerbated the effect. But if the twisted sickos out there have already come up with the baby Jesus butt plug, and market it in the Midwest--the Midwest!--I have a hard time believing you cannot get the Virgin Mary blow up doll in dozens of fine establishments in, for example, NYC or SF.

Well, I so far cannot locate one on the internet...

But when I do, Rick Santorum will be getting a great Father's Day gift.

Yeh, but try as I might, I can't come from zeal and enthusiasm.

I suggest going with the Battlestar Gallactica theme when you do.

Speaking of walking dead rock stars...

Velvet revolver ain't a bad record. I had a gift cert to burn at Borders this week, so I bought a copy of Contraband. I expected to be let down, an I was pleasantly surprised. Its pretty solid big dumb rock, with some great hooks. Its worth every nickel of the $12.99.

The jury is still out on the Beasties' To the Five Boroughs. Thanksfully, its not as dense as Hello Nasty, but it also hasn't grabbed me out of the box like any of their earlier shit. I don't think those cats will ever beat Paul's Boutique.
