I mean, do you think those gals on “The View” actually like each other?

This response to a hysterical woman who is overwhelmed by "shock, hurt, and anger [sic]" in NYT's Social Q's is aptly admonishing. But why must the person who has a problem with the ex always be the freak? In a social climate of changing definitions of "relationship," being cool with a significant other's ex hanging around can be perilous. Suspicion and jealousy are never fun, no one wants to look overly posessive or paranoid, but sometimes those feelings are there for a reason. It's called instinct. Also, read on for an exemplary use of the term "nether beard" in a sentence.

Annoying Trend


The first time I saw this in real life was on Drew Barrymore in 1999. I was working in a SoHo clothing store and she came in with a backpack on and a 35 mm film camera dangling around her neck. The clothes I sold her she stuffed unceremoniously into her jansport. "What a jocular, breezy individual!" I thought. That's not what I think nowadays when I see a skulking faux-artiste meandering down North 5th street with a slouchy bag, slouchy hairdo and the most annoying accessory of 2008: Retro-looking cameras worn on their straps. I think, "You are a hapless cliché."

If you want to have your camera at the ready, but would also like to evade my scorn, try putting the lens cap on. Sorry! I'm a stickler.

Somebody stole my shoes, so I'll amputate my legs.

"This isn't the first time a boss has picked an unqualified woman just because she agrees with him and opposes everything most other women want and need. Feminism has never been about getting a job for one woman. It's about making life more fair for women everywhere."

-Gloria Steinem. Read the whole article in the LA Times while listening to 9 to 5 and anything by Heart, who told the McCain people to stop using Barracuda for Palin's theme song.

Photoshop Snaps

Your mama's so fat, I tried to load a picture of her in save for web and it said I had insufficient memory!

Your face is so bumpy it looks like you were interpolated with nearest-neighbor as opposed to bicubic or bilinear interpolation!

You're so ruddy, I couldn't see your image clearly enough in quickmask mode to
make a selection!

Your Welcome.

"Your welcome. Us Newsies fans have to help each other when we forget Newsies stuff."

Above quote is that of a commenter on the youtube page for a fan-created montage from the 1991 Film "Newsies." And here is the 1st part of Blood Drips on Newsies Square, a 30 minute horror movie made by Newsies actors on set. I can't tell if its funny or what, I'm too distracted by the 90's haircuts.

This is Why Stevie's Rouge Was Asymmetrical That Day
