If I had a rock, a rope and a bridge, I could find a good location for that guy's next vacation.

Are you talking about Bill Hemmer? What a self-important blowhard that guy is. And I don't understand why women think he's hot. He's a namby-pamby milquetoast.

That guy (and the character) was brilliant. So it couldn't possibly have been an idea I had.

What a trip. I wrote most of Cliff Clavin's lines, but have only a tenuous idea how the writers got them off me.

Back on Seinfeld, though. I know the Manhattanites will tell me that yes, Virginia, there is a Soup Nazi, the Haight here in S.F. had its own colorful character that did basically the same thing with martinis. He died, I think. Probably of meanness.

What's with the erection? You getting a blow job while hauling the kids around? If a Suburban turns you on, I think we need a whole other term -- heterosexual, meterosexual, homosexual and metalosexual?

No, now there's a couple bigger, so it's either Expisexual or Hummersexual.

But, Hummersexual would be too confusing.

(The erection? One of the lines I always read/hear is "guys buy big trucks as a testosterone replacement." Maybe it's just a MN line.)

I always thought it was a compensation thing. Trucks and sportscars grouped together on that one. However maybe you could convince someone that the Suburban is great for carrying around your huge erection that would not fit in a smaller vehicle. (not me though)

Yes. Him. Ugh. He was apparently too important to CNN to be embedded. They just couldn't take that kind of risk with him. Fucker.

And another thing -- anybody who comes off poorly in an interview with Jon Stewart qualifies as a tool. Jon is charming and easygoing and asks intelligent questions that give his guests an opportunity to shine, and even he couldn't bring out anything interesting in Hemmer.

Feh, I say.

I've had a semi man-crush on Jon Stewart for a couple of years now...

Wow, she didn't even care enough about her children to strap them into an SUV before she drowned them. Bitch.

Okay, I feel a little better. I don't even remember this bit. But I'm guessing I probably stole it without making the connection. Nice catch.

[relates to previous sneaker removal at airport discussion]

I will also note (tho this is outable b/c I've told this story some) that I recently traveled and my flip flops (!) made the metal sensor go off. They were the only metal on my body ([insert joke about clit piercing here]). So, anyway, I had to go through the screening and as I sat there talking to the 60 year old woman who was wanding me, I said how surprised I was that my flip flops beeped. She told me very matter-of-factly that allSketchers have metal in them. Live and learn.

Now I just always take my shoes off. Saves a step.

n(cracked me up for a grandma to be taking about Sketchers, but she knows her shoes)cs

You can have him. He's funny, but short. I would, however, fight you over Stephen Colbert. He's dreamy.

That's my problem with John too, but I might even make an exception to my no shorties rule for him. He is that funny.

Is there a minimum height for men you will have a man-crush on? Is the minimum close to your own height, or do you require them to be taller than you are? Are you fantasizing that you are dominated by your larger man-crushee?

Obviously, you do not drive an SUV.
