Area Man To Make Fun Of Dancing For A Bit Before... →
Ouch. This cuts close to the bone:
“I plan to start off whispering and pointing at everyone, which is a defense mechanism used to hide my jealousy toward those who can dance without caring what other people think,” Harris told reporters. “Then I will do some silly moves, like the robot, the running man, and maybe an invisible lasso in order demean the entire act of dancing so...

The criticism had begun to overshadow the message and goal of the larger campaign…
The message? LADIES HAVE FILTHY VAGINAS. We wouldn’t want that important message overshadowed, right?

Yes, because the most Catholic thing we can do here is to slash aid to the poor and elderly while preserving tax loopholes for the wealthy.
That’s probably what Jesus would have done, right?

Oops
Someone just informed me that this porny-sounding fake Skittles commercial was on auto-play, so anyone visiting my site the past few days has probably gotten some odd looks at the office.
It’s fixed now.
I need some good ideas for a theme party costume
The theme: BACK TO HIGH SCHOOL:
Come as a cheerleader, jock, band geek, or nerd, or just yourself in appropriately dated embarrassing clothing.
I’m tempted to just thrown on my old Speedo from high school swim team, but that would probably look pretty disturbing at this point.
I can do better than that, right? What the hell should I wear?

Well, technically, this is the first Cincinnati reality show. But this new one, which looks to be a lame rip-off of The Hills, will definitely make it harder to get a third reality show set in the city.

Re: Homoerotic costumes
I should say that Captain Planet’s got NOTHING on He-Man:

Umm… good, I guess?
By the way, does anyone else notice how homoerotic Captain Planet’s costume is? He’s only wearing bikini briefs, gloves, boots and shoulder pads. Other than that he’s naked. I expect they’re going to have to change that a little for the movie.
Hopefully they’ll keep the green mullet, though.

Important polling:
The latest Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey of Adults who eat ice cream at least occasionally finds that 23% say vanilla is best, while the same number (23%) prefers chocolate. Nine percent (9%) like butter pecan the most, while strawberry and cookies and cream each earn eight percent (8%) of the vote. Six percent (6%) prefer mint chocolate chip, and another four...

Parks and Rec up for Best Series, Comedy

That’s buy one get one free. Best pie in the city in my opinion.
mar-see-ah:
I feel like I never see celebrities in New York, but tonight at Bar Pitti we saw (in order): Wes Anderson, Salman Rushdie, Fran Lebowitz, and Terry Richardson.
True story: Wes Anderson and Noah Baumbach wrote the script for The Life Aqautic sitting at Bar Pitti (it took them several weeks). They later did the DVD commentary from the restaurant.
God does not want me to go to weddings in...
Second time in 2 weeks that my Friday night flight has been canceled and the airline has claimed that they can’t get me to my destination until midway through the wedding.
Are you fucking kidding me?
