Big Brother 4: Scott and Amanda, we hardly knew ye. Very hard to guess what Jee's going to do as head of household. Scott certainly rates pretty high up in the pantehon of nutty reality show contestants. He brings to mind that wacky Peter guy who was the first one out of one of the Survivors (it saddens me that I can't remember if it was Africa or Marquesas or what). Apparently chair throwing gets a guy tossed. The awful live update feed boards are all abuzz with Dave and Amanda getting it on, like it's something unprecedented. Well apparently they never watch the Euro Big Brothers, or don't remember Will and Shannon from BB2. I wonder if this is going to be a tradition: the soon to be evicted houseguest gets to bang the person of their choice on their final night in the house? That'd be cool.

Osbournes: Another feud with the neighbors? I'd say that this show has jumped the shark, if that phrase wasn't so April 24th, 2001 at about 2:15 p.m.

SPOILERS AHEAD







As for Last Comic, does your fiancee mean that Dat plagiared Cho's act, or is just doing asian immigrant mother humor? bc I am not totally sure the latter is a ripoff. this would mean that only the first asian standup who does the immigrant mother thing is original. how many jewish comics do their grandparents in Palm Beach? How many gay guys do the flamboyant thing? CLarify "rip off" please. I thouht neither Dat nor Dave were at their best on Tuesdsay night, or maybe its bc I heard Dat's act too many times. I just didnt think Dave was that good last night, though I liked his electiricy outage bit.

As for BB4, I was totally hoping Jee would win. The only hope that this show might become interesting. I missed most of the show due to socializing and a lack of Tivo (but came in right as Lisa was talking about her nude posing for a "classy" magazine where nothing was actually exposed. Classy to be sure. Lisa, I had such high hopes for you.)* Jee seems bright and slightly evil and bitter. He can put up two of the original 8- probably fruity little Nathan who put him up and who is two timing everyone. then someone as a pawn- I dont know this show well enough to figure it out yet.

Osbournes jumped shark when I started seeing Kelly Osbourne places other than on the Osbournes. Talk about deluded hopes of a career based on riding your parents coatails. I think that Vanessa from AI proves that Kelly has no hope. People arent into short fat chicks with bad short haircuts who color their hair pink to be different.

***Paging LP. Can you finally agree that classy is just the cheeziest word around and that i aint a snob for pointing this out. Did you see the classy men's mag of which she spoke? Could any other word have been substituted there?

PPS What happened with Eric and Lisa? Are they still together?

If you want to get them, go to the "look for tickets" icon on the ticketmaster site and start hitting the refresh button at about 9:58. Then type in that internet password QUICK, as well as completing all the other steps as fast as you can.

Sadly, I'll be on a flight. If anyone in Cali wants to volunteer to try to get seats for me, I wouldn't say no.

1) We bow to your hip, insider, on the scene indie music knowlege. But you gotta know that once Radionhead is put on the cash register display at Olson's books, they are over. Like the White Stripes. Get some bands we havent heard of already. Like "Skinny Girls on Diets". SGOD rocks- like Hole before Cobain died. I also enjoy the "Dirty Vaginas". Who are from LA by they way.

2) I know you are Canadian, but you should know that the real Californians are secretly laughing at you behind your back when you refer to "Cali".

Love, Pai.

I have to disagree just a bit.

A band isn't over when they become popular, unless they really suck and the only thing they have going for them is buzz. (See the Strokes.)

There are lots of great bands making great music of whom many of us have heard. That doesn't make them over.

Thus illustrating the point I was making to Aloha.

And the only reason you don't like Hole is that the band has no brothers in it and no hip hop riffs. They were fucking great back when Cobain was writing their music.

Good news for those who frequenlty TCB:

An Ejaculation a Day May Keep Prostate Cancer at Bay

Research by Australia's Cancer Council Victoria found that the more often men ejaculate between the ages of 20 and 50, the less likely they are to suffer the disease that kills more than half a million men each year.

The survey of 1,079 prostate cancer (news - web sites) patients and 1,259 healthy men found that those who masturbated or had sex at least once a day in their 20s were a third less likely to develop the malady.

"For men in their 50s of course that's often not achievable," Graham Giles, who led the research team, told Reuters Thursday.

Of course that is it.

How could I be so foolish.

However, I think it is bizarre that a person who cannot take care of himself would have a pet. I find it even more bizarre that these pets are well provided for. I no longer give any money to a person begging for it, and will certainly not give them any money to feed their pets. I imagine I am paying the food and vet tabs for the pets of many welfare recipients, just like I am paying to raise their obnoxious kids. But I do this very, very grudingly and because the government says I have to.

Also, there is no reason for a sane able-bodied person to be a beggar. Get a fucking job. You are not above McDonalds.

Have you noticed that the number of homeless people goes up quite a bit when the economy sucks? Are all these people just lazy all of a sudden? "Get a job, asshole." Some able bodied people can and are lazy. They don't deserve a fucking thing. Some cannot. I would imagine that it's difficult when you apply for a job at McDonald's and they ask you for an address and a phone number and expect you to interview in clean clothes and bathe every day.

But I'm not trying to change your mind. You are a good person and I'm sure (because you are so strong and perfect) that no one in your family has ever given you any assistance with food, rent, money, tuition or help of any kind.

Don't make it so easy, man.

Besides, you couldn't be a poster from the land of fu because I can see what you're posting.

The point that you're terrible at communicating satire via the written word? If 10% of people "get the joke", then you've mastered it. If NO ONE can understand you and NO ONE "gets the joke", it's not the listener's fault. Did you not take a communications course in undergrad? You're just a shitty writer, NTTAWWT. Jonathan Swift shits on your efforts.

So this morning, as I'm going up the subway stairs, I'm behind a middle-aged Korean woman (55-ish?) who is wearing a Pucci-inspired (inspired, I said -- talking only about the pattern, not the cut) dress -- not bad -- carrying a clean and coordinating bag -- so far, so good -- but as the eye is inevitably drawn to her feet, we begin to go awry.

I can't help but notice her footwear, as her feet are at my eye level as I'm going up the stairs behind her. She's wearing heavy, low, platform-ish leather sandals (kind of like Jesus sandals, but with a strap around the back of the heel). This isn't great, but what's under the sandals is just mind-bogglingly bad.

She is wearing -- are you ready? -- pink (that's right, pink) ankle-height athletic socks. Huh? Now, I can find it in my judgmental heart to forgive the shoes, inadvisable as they may be, but egad, pink athletic socks?!?! Just wear panty hose and be done with it.

I think my jaw actually may have dropped a little before I composed myself.

Just thought I'd share -- it is on-topic, n'est-ce pas? (Then again, just what isn't on topic over here? Null set I believe.)

Love, Pai.

Speaking of Canadians referring to Cali, I was in the elevator in this hotel a few weeks ago with my friend who was in town for the weekend and this hot guy who looks familiar but I can't place him gets in the elevator. And my friend, who talks to anyone, asks the hot guy what he's doing in NY. And the hot guy says that he's shooting a movie and he's just in town for a little while. And then my cheesy friend says "oh, then you're going back to Cali?" And the hot guy cracks up - not even sounding like a fake laugh. That's when I realized who the guy was, but I was kind of embarrased at my cheesy friend - ai yi yi..

When referring to men's magazines, "classy" is most appropriate. As in , "You put the 'ass' in 'class', baby."
