Draft Jon Hamm for U.S. Senate
Here’s a cool drink of water for the gheyz and girls who are sick of pneumatic Stormy.
/fanning self
Would NOT kick that man out of bed for eating crackers, can I have an amen, sister?
@SanFranLefty: But can he play Scrabble?
Look who’s messin’ wit da alt tags!
Ahh…..that hits the spot.
Josh Homme would be a good candidate, especially on health care issues.
Queens of the Stone Age, “Medication”
BTW, anyone else catch that nojo used Tool “Third Eye” art on a Stormy post earlier this week (the eye with the two/separated eyeballs)
@Dodgerblue:
Who cares?
@flippin eck: @TJ/ Jamie Sommers /TJ:
Yeah, I can’t stop looking at the photo.
@SanFranLefty: Praise Jeebus.
@SanFranLefty: A-MEN! Equal time rocks. I had something clever to say, but for some reason it’s gone right out of my head.
and mebbe we could draft Cristiano Ronaldo for sumthin’?
TJ/ We got the itis and won’t be going back to no stinkin’ t party.
@SanFranLefty: AMEN!
@Tommmcatt Loves The Giant Floating Head: Bite. Your. Tongue.
See, Benedick? What’d I say? Post a pic of some hairy dude and magically he materializes. Like clockwork.
@Tommmcatt Loves The Giant Floating Head: Okay, you think he’s hairy? Maybe compared to a head-to-toe waxed Asian man…I was waiting for Cubbie to say that he’s too hairless.
So that’s attractive? K.
Too hairy.
@Tommmcatt Loves The Giant Floating Head: It’s good to know the Bat Signals around here. Let’s see if I can get both RML and IanJ to appear: guns!
a head-to-toe waxed Asian man… got me
@flippin eck: Hey, I posted on the threads of Michelle and Di in crisis zones yesterday. Like Beesko, I too, noticed that they were wearing “flats”.
QOL TJ/I still have not had time to drink a goddamn beer or martini since last Thursday, btw.
@redmanlaw: I never meant to imply that’s all you discuss, dear, I just meant the subject works like a summoning charm for you, so to speak. And bravo for recognizing flats!
@redmanlaw: No time to drink? You might as well say you had no time to breathe. You need to work on your priorities, dude.
@Tommmcatt Loves The Giant Floating Head: First day of a quick birthday vacation. During a couple of CRAZY weeks. Sorry babe.
@redmanlaw:
one must make time to drink
@redmanlaw: I can’t remember the last time I had anything to drink. Definitely more than two weeks ago. Dangerously long ago.
@mellbell: I’m worried about you both. We may need to plan a Stinque drinque intervention if you don’t mend your ways.
@Mistress Cynica: There will be at least one martini tonight. Big projects are out of the way. Mellbell is on her own although my thoughts will be with her.
Correction: The Tool “Third Eye” art appears at the top of the page for the “The Ophthalmologist Menace” refer. We regret the error.
I also post on metal bands I love.
@Tommmcatt Loves The Giant Floating Head: I’m not hurt. Just a little disappointed that some random semi-hairy unknown (to me) man with rather too much work done on the eyebrow shaping but still a handsome man should, it seems, mean more to our generalissimo than, well, loyal grunts who slogged it out with him through the rain forests of wonkette that other site.
@redmanlaw: QOL TJ/I still have not had time to drink a goddamn beer or martini since last Thursday, btw. That’s just crazy talk.
And, ladies, I hate to be the one to break this to you but he’s so gay if this man is an actor he will talk about his career. And talk and talk. Endlessly. First thing in the morning, last thing at night. This is why actresses date stage hands.
@redmanlaw:
At least you’re not on doc imposed ban (which I’m following because a week in the hospital was a week too long.) 2 months no booze.
@Benedick: So that’s why Gillian Anderson ended up with a grip or a best boy or whatever after being marooned up in Canadia for the “X-Files”.
The Double Eye was a graphics project for Berlin based artist Olafur Eliasson.
Olafur Eliasson was born in 1967 in Copenhagen to Icelandic parents. Since 1993 he lives and works in Berlin where he established his Studio, a laboratory that over the trials of the artist is also engaged in architectural designs, and his art gallery. It features on the cover of his new interview book, released in October 2004. It’s his eye(s). The work was also published in FRIEZE Magazine in Oct 2005.
By way of Dalí, one would think.
I’m with ya, brother.
@Benedick: You don’t watch Mad Men?
@redmanlaw: They may not be pretty but they don’t talk about themselves, they know the fun bars, and have reliable erections.
@SanFranLefty: You know, I don’t. I tried it but… I thought it all a bit desperate. But hey. I’m the one who sits in bliss watching That 70s Show. What do I know.
@nojo: There is geek and there is German fucking visual artists. Forgive me, I’m bitter about anything that might be published in Freeze magazine.
We miss you when you don’t come around, s’all.
Enough of this greenery-yallery, Grovesnor gallery BS. I have a treat. A clip featuring one of the most divine women I ever worked with. I adored her and still do. It’s very witty. Think Spector Sound as done by layabouts in London when noje was young.
@Benedick: I’m the one who sits in bliss watching That 70s Show.
And I’m the one who gets creeped out every time Ashton gets flirty with his camera around women significantly younger than his wife.
@nojo: Ah, cool.
Back cover of “Aenima” by Tool (1997). The image is by Cam de Leon and called “Ocular Orifice – Photoshop”.
Off to buy my 2010-11 New Mexico general hunting and fishing license and turkey tag. Wish I had my iPod so I could blast some Tool while driving through town. Guess it’ll just have to be ESPN radio.
@Benedick:
Darling, zee link, she no work.
@Benedick: For that matter, if “That 70s Show” was honest, it would be about the Fifties.
@Tommmcatt Loves The Giant Floating Head: Fixed!!!! Score!! Woo hoo!!! Sorry. First time I was ever able to do that.
@nojo: Good point though I kinda remember that Murka. But it’s set in Wisconsin so deduct at least 15 years from date stamp. WV 40. AL 60. MI 80.
But it’s a sitcom. Honesty does not enter the picture. It’s trash. I just like how it’s done.
/terrist fist bump/
I’m so proud of you two picking out “flats” all by yourselves.
Next fashion question to see if the Stinque Fashion Police is rubbing off on you:
Explain what a peep-toe and kitten heel are.
Bonus points:
Explain why it looks weird if you wear both a peep-toe and a kitten heel at the same time.
@SanFranLefty: Explain what a peep-toe and kitten heel are.
No, you do not want my insufficiently coffee-d brain to go there, den mother. I shot my wad with “flats”. Although I can guess on the peep-toe; it’s that part of Ma Nabisco’s shoes I point to and say “so, are they sandals or shoes?”
ADD: “kitten-heel” makes me think about “roach killer” boots, and now I haz sad.
@Nabisco: Yes, very good. Those are peep-toes. Designed to show toe cleavage.
@SanFranLefty: Often followed by my observation “well of course they’re tight, your toes are sticking out!”
Is kitten-heel the same thing as fuck-me-pumps?
@Capt Howdy: Make time to drink? I have to make time NOT to drink. Its a liquid, it can flow into the interstices, its a pernicious modern myth that drinking and serious activities are incompatible. More of the serious decisions in business and politics should be made with the aid of strong drink, like in the old days.
@Benedick: That Stormy doesn’t need “fuck me pumps,” she has “fuck me bumps.” Though they were obviously pumped, too.
@SanFranLefty: Ohhhhh…I might have to pull out the black matte peep toe LouBootenz gravatar!
@Benedick: Can you see my new gravatar? We saw this poster on the way home tonight, and Jr took a picture for you. I almost put it on your FB wall, but I didn’t want you to block me or nuthin’.
@Benedick: No. Not at all. If anything, they are complete opposites.
Kitten heels are where you take a flat [Nabisco and RML nod] and add a small stiletto heel. Like an inch at most. Also known as “starter heels” in some parts of the country or at least where I grew up – I didn’t hear them called “kitten heel” until I lived in California – they’re what 12 year old girls get to wear when they are finally allowed to wear heels to the junior high dance. Think of the “heels” that the tabloids are showing Suri Cruise walking around in. Here’s an example.
They are much easier to walk in than in regular heels, let alone fuck-me pumps, which, by definition, must be at least four to five inches high. Called that because, among other reasons, they push a woman’s ass up so high in the sky that she looks like a breeze could knock her over the nearest table or chair.
@SanFranLefty: Ah yes, Nabisco Hija is already angling for jr. kitten heels, then – I coulda throttled the family member who got her SlutzBratz heels when she was only five friggin years old…I’d be much happier if she grew up wearing flannel shirts and Birks, to be perfectly honest. But she got her first stripe on her belt in Karate today, I haz teh proud.
@Benedick: No. Kitten heels are what Audrey Hepburn wore in Sabrina–low and slightly curved.
@Nabisco: Oh no! Bratz?! That’s worse than someone giving your kid play dough, a megaphone or a one-man band.
You learn who your real friends are once you have kids.
@JNOV: I know. But Play-Dough – that stuff’s great. I made some with the kidz before I left.
You learn who your real friends are once you have kids.
It was my mom – but to her credit, it was something m’ija asked for, and neither of them really had any idea what kind of crap it was.
And I think a one-man band contraption would be cool – and imagine you do as well. But yeah, not for kids, but rather responsible adults, like us.
@SanFranLefty: I like how cool and low slung that shoe looked in the photo, like the Batmobile. I was informed just recently what the kitten heel was. I still would have failed the quiz tonight because I thought the KH was more of a full heel thing and not just a spike.
Is there like a silhouette chart of shoes that can be studied by the shoe-ignorant?
The martini is gettin’ all freezy right now. The independent, woman-owned gun shop I go to on this side of town was closed when I got there so I gotta hit Wally’s in the morning for my license.
@Nabisco: I knew my parents hated me when my mother gave my son a megaphone, and my father gave him a sonic ear. I didn’t have quiet or privacy until the batteries ran out.
Homemade play dough — good stuff. Giving play dough as a gift is to your carpet what a Sharpie is to your wall. Only parents should buy their own kids play dough. It’s a rule.
All I know from shoes begins and ends at the cover of that Sniff’n’The Tears album from the 70s.
@Promnight: Ewww. That sinewy leg belongs to the Crypt Keeper!
@Nabisco: Bratz? BRATZ? Your MOTHER bought the Nabisquette/Hija del Nabisco something associated with Bratz?
OMFG, do NOT get me started on Bratz. It was bad enough you set me off on my Feminists for Life tirade, I see that I will spend Friday and Saturday working on my Bratz Manifesto for the Stinque Department of Lady-Bits.
@JNOV: Eeeew, seconded. I’ll show you a good calf muscle, I’ve been working on mine for 20 plus years.
@Promnight: Cut out bin! On a related note, first few times I saw the cover of Spring Fever I thought, “wow, she’s cute!”
@SanFranLefty: I know, I know. She asked for them shortly after we re-Americanized, both MaNa and I clueless, Moms Nabisco shrugged, bought and gifted…she paraded them once before something mysteriously happened to them…Bratz=Evil.
TJ/What do you guys think of me knitting with plarn? (Yarn made from recycled plastic bags) — I guess I can’t make plastic clothes unless I do some sort of fetish knitting. Oh, fetish knitting just sounds wrong.
@Nabisco: I lost track of boots after Nancy Sinatra.
@JNOV: If fetish knitting is wrong, I don’t wanna be right.
@JNOV: WTF are plastic clothes? What if there’s a fire or someone drops their joint?
@SanFranLefty: Nojo should remember newspaper clothes…shagadelic, baby!
@SanFranLefty: Did you ever see the pictures of Brazil Cristina who married the dude from Ask Jeeves? I could knit a fishnety-type leotard…
@JNOV:
Didn’t they get a divorce?
@SanFranLefty: Seriously? I hadn’t heard. Hmmmm. Well, at least he stood by her through her legal troubles. Have you ever seen a picture of him? I haven’t. I’m curious…
@Benedick: I saw Vanessa R in Hecuba in London a few years ago. Wanted to kill myself afterwards.
@mellbell: Check the sandbox
@SanFranLefty: I might have attended class more often had I had a classmate like that.
