If Jean Seberg and Lee Marvin had a baby raised by a superintelligent wolf, I would kick that baby's ass.

I read World War Z when I was at the beach, but didn't discover until weeks later that the guy who wrote it is the son of Mel Brooks and Anne Bancroft. I was also unaware that Mel Brooks and Anne Bancroft were married.

Because if we're just going to fuck science and make jokes about unlikely people fucking, I would be more comfortable doing so on a thread about risks the Euro zone is facing as it tries to deal with the bond market.

Somebody's mother was very proud of them coming up with that slogan you hater.

I'm still marveling at the rename of our local sports TV channel franchise to "Root Sports".

"Root Sports"

Which reminds me, NMM to the Humanitarian Bowl. Idaho Football Bowl Game Renamed After Potato.

How disturbing.

The first name that popped into my head for "celebrity I most resemble" is Mole from the Wind In The Willows (the book, not the movie, which I haven't seen).

I'm kind of curious about whether this would work better if we described each other in this pattern, but I guess offense, intentional or otherwise, might result.

Looks-wise, people tell me that I look like Christina Ricci. I presume that this is because I have a high brow. I don't think that I'm particularly like her otherwise.

I am still reeling from the suggestion that any woman would have sex with Eric Cartman, whose beliefs regarding the process are too coarse to be repeated in a family comment thread.

I was told a sexxxy-times story about Peter Weller (back in the late 80s) that made me like him more.

I'm no squash-competition expert, but certainly prizes can be awarded to small pumpkins, too, right?

OT: I signed up for LinkedIn because my uncle sent me an invitation and it didn't seem nice to say no to him. I'm afraid it is spying on me somehow. The first set of people they suggested I link to includes the lead author on the paper I'm supposed to be working on right now.

Joan Didion and David Bowie would be awesome.

I absolutely love 75 percent of Joan Didion's writing and the other 25 percent drives me crazy.

Huh. turns out 37 is not true. "Love Child" didn't displace "Hey Jude" until two days after I was born.
