Get him to post as many pictures of you painted metal as he did of himself, and we'll get back to you.

Al, I'd join you if I weren't on medication!

I haven't finished the post or ready any of the comments, but I'm going to comment about something else anyway; and, really, is that unusual? I'm watching a vid on the Bugatti Veyron, which I have been drooling over for years. I can't believe I didn't know this factoid: If you lined up the Veyron with a McClaren F1 (previously the world's fastest car) and gave the F1 a head start, let it hit 120mph before tapping on the Bugatti's throttle, the Veyron would still hit 200mph first. I won't even ask if you wanted to know that, because I know you did.

God, I come back and no one cares about how I'm dancing drunkenly on Sharon's grave.

Dear B/e\l/l\e,

I'm getting trashed on YOUR account, and I gave up drinking a decade ago. So IT'S ALL YOUR FAULT. If I had ever gone to AA, I would throw my chips at you.

I would like to point out, however, that this is really THE WRONG TIME for Sharon to make like a corpse. Three years ago, ok. Three years from now, go to town.

1) World population is still predicted to double once more before declining; ain't nobody going to run out of humans.

We're going to run out of Frogs, however.

2) Continuing medical advances will extend current lifespans.

No counting unhatched chickens.

3) All this EUrabia dhimmi bullshit is so obviously bullshit that I can't bestir myself to worry about it even a little.

The EU is more of threat to Europe then any Moslems will be for a long time.

4) Foam parties on Ibiza vs. a lot of fundamentalist assholes=total victory for fun.

If fun always won, we wouldn't have the Catholic Church.

There's a reason why we should all be feminists and why feminism should play a role in our thinking about foreign policy.

Because of the new suet-lining?

Poor, socially ostracized, culturally threatened men treat women like shit. Now, if only culturally secure, traditionalist men didn't also treat women like shit we'd really be going somewhere.

Right. It's all MY fault. I knew it would be. That's always the bottom line, innit?

The two messages I took away from _Mean Girls_ were that

(a) Lindsay Lohan can, if the lighting and makeup are just right and her top is tight enough, look marginally attractive and

(b) that girls have ample ability to also treat women like shit

1> Lindsay Lohan is not marginally attractive, she's pretty damn hot before she went to being an anoxeric blonde and 2> clearly, a really fantastic rack is the secret to calculus.

I do suspect, however, that LiLo's ample rack was surgically enhanced. I believe that goodplasticsurgery.com has so opined.

To elaborate on my 32, goodplasticsurgery.com and its companion site awfulplasticsurgery.com have opined (with pictures) that Lindsay's breasts were first surgically enlarged, then later shrunken.

Alameida's brother could be right. If you have no visible moons on your fingernails it is possible that you have low thyroid function. Low thyroid function in you or your mother while pregnant with you can result in low intellegence.

On the other hand, really big moons are a sign of overactive thyroid function that can be bad for inteligence too. Unfortunately, no one in their right mind would do a study of fingernail moon size and intelligence to clear up this crucial question.
