I can't tell you how glad I am that you and Owen finally called it quits. I mean, really, flea.
[evil cackle] Ha-ha, more Owens for me!!!!!
My boss has instituted a new practice called The March 15th Rule. Every day that it snows (and sticks at least a little) after March 15th is a day that she makes sweets. Her two-year-old now (after three days of this) dances when she comes to get him from childcare if it's snowing.
Oh, God, Portia! You too?
Okay, frog - I'm lying.
I do not understand Owen Wilson-attraction. He looks like someone hit him in the face.
That being said, I know a certain 25 year-old man who mistook a piece of cat poo for a piece of brownie and ate it. Maybe if he ever gets a girlfriend, I'll tell her that story... :P
just want to register my disgust with Virgin Atlantic Airways -- i would be far beyond embarrassed if forced to use one of those mortifying waste receptacles. alas, yet again, the minority (men) misrepresent the rest of us. sigh.
Hmmm, your Yahoo news link for Virgin Atlantic seems to be broken, but this one works: http://www.webindia123.com/news/...33950&

And here's another male who finds the idea rather disgusting.
Re: Andrea Dworkin: Read "Intercourse", especially Chapter 7 - "Occupation/Collaboration". Dworkin may not have said the actual words "all heterosexual sex is rape", but she avidly promulgates the concept: "Intercourse remains a means or the means of physiologically making a woman inferior: communicating to her cell by cell her own inferior status, impressing it on her, burning it into her by shoving it into her, over and over, pushing and thrusting until she gives up and gives in-- which is called surrender in the male lexicon. In the experience of intercourse, she loses the capacity for integrity because her body--the basis of privacy and freedom in the material world for all human beings--is entered and occupied; the boundaries of her physical body are--neutrally speaking-- violated." [cont]
There are other examples in her writings; heterosexual intercourse is her bête noire. If one believes the stories of her past, it is easy to understand the genesis of the pathology. However, it is a mistake to glibly vindicate her of comparing intercourse with rape.

Dan said - "alas, yet again, the minority (men) misrepresent the rest of us. sigh."
Heh, this is how I felt when Riordan said since a woman designed it, he didn't understand why other women would be offended. It's beyond annoying, I know.

Thanks for your comments, Asha. Of course, the fact remains that not only did Dworkin NOT say it, but she has publicly stated that she does *not* believe all het intercourse is rape. BTW, "glib" is kind of what I do here, most of the time.
God, I went back to edit this post and almost banned myself by mistake.
Grace - someone *has* hit him in the face. His nose has been broken twice, and he never bothered to get it fixed, which I think is kind of cool.
At first, I thought it was pretty funny, your recent entry about the Wiggles.
But then I realized it was just rude. That dorky looking Greg is performing a great service (yes, while making a buck) by entertaining our kids (my daughter has moved on to Kipper now, but still watches and dances with the Wiggles from time to time). I try not to be overly PC, but for you to just casually say that he looks like an asshole is quite a judgment, isn’t it? Leave him alone. And for the record, my bet would be on Captain Feathersword.
As far as those classy virgin atlantic urinals go, lose the lipstick, add a moustache & a herpes sore and these vip's will be pissing on the tarmac
one should beware before cracking wise about Wiggles. the folks at Being Daddy did so some months ago -- and soon thereafter his blog came to an abrupt end. Beware.
Yup, me too. But it's mostly Luke, on the surface, except for the nagging knowledge that they're both Wes Anderson's writing partners, and I just can't not appreciate talent like that. That, and their copious and incredible use of Bill Murray and Angelica Houston. At this point, what's not to love?
Yes, yes, bfum. My kids are big Wiggle fans, too. I don't care how much money they make, and I don't think Greg looks like a dork; I think he looks like Adam Carolla. Who is kind of an asshole. So there you go. This is a personal blog where I get to be as glib and judgemental as I want to be. Go start your own blog and rip on Captain Feathersword, who is my personal favorite on the Wiggle team, even though I suspect his alcohol tolerance is quite high. Maybe he's my favorite because of that. I promise I won't come over there to slap your wrist about it.
I think the woman who plays the cop is more likely than one of our monochrome Wiggle friends. I think she'll be arrested for dealing cocaine within five years' time.
flea, FYI an Australian women's magazine picked one of the Wiggles as "Bachelor of the Year" a few years ago - I think it was Greg.
And here's the transcript of a rather funny TV interview with the Wiggles (may need to scroll down a bit to get to the interview):

You know, the Wiggles have been around for more than 10 years. They are kinda like the Mr. Rogers of Australia. Well, four Mr. Roger'ses. I actually like them a lot. I took my son to see the live show at the Chicago Theatre in 2002 & 2003; it's a very cute show.
But I kinda kwym.
Owen Wilson has never done it for me. Have you checked out Bruno Campos, from that new ABC show "The D.A."? He's some kinda handsome.
Hey, Lori, will you drop me an e-mail if you hear the Wiggles are coming back? I know Alex would love to see them. I would even suffer through the evil Greg on his behalf.
