But Good News for Me

It’s the revenge of the nerds: now they're hot hunks!

Good news, losers: It's cool to be uncool. With the upcoming releases of two new movies, "The 40-Year-Old Virgin" and "The Baxter," and the recent success of "Napoleon Dynamite," Hollywood has gleefully embraced dorkdom.

. . .

"Women find sex appeal in male geek movie characters," notes Gitesh Pandya, editor of www.boxofficeguru.com. "Geeks have charm in their awkwardness. The personality of a geek makes him sexy, partially because he can be pitied and partially because they are good-natured people."

Jacob E. Osterhout and Gitesh Pandya are clearly geeks.

I know this is a little late, but I have to ask: isn't it a bitch to get chocolate stains out of the sheets? Furthermore, I imagine the visual of chocolate-stained sheets isn't a pretty one.

In that case, think twice before guaranteeing his debt.

Question for GWNC

If you're with my boyfriend, who's with yours?

I think my head may explode.

ETA: I didn't know GWNC even had an internet boyfriend. Internet girlfriend[s], yes; but I didn't know about the boyfriend. Mazel tov!

Having educated, working women means you can afford to hire other people to do that. Just remember to tip the maid.

Well, there was an over 200 lb. division that year with 1st, 2nd and 3rd place trophies. I was moving pretty good and as the leaders started going by me heading back I was counting anyone who could possibly be 200 lbs. Turns out I was in at least 3rd place of people who could possibly weigh 200.

But at award time they gave the 3rd place trophy to someone else. Maybe he jumped in late- maybe he lied on weight. All I know is that I was the real winner.....but see he holds the trophy, still.
How do we know you really weighed 200? Maybe you weights in your pocket.
