Manhattan Model Minis' Mayhem
Anyone know if the AVClub covers "hard news" such as today's near-riot at the NY audition for short models on ANTM?

Thanks for the response, EJ. I appreciate it.

Hee hee, of course, Pete!

That's right, but army guy who beamed up from the '60s got real soup.

Different sides of the same coin, cub. : )

Pain Thine Wagon?

Don't know if you'll be back here, EJ, but I've been genuinely trying to figure it out: What exactly is that word satirizing? (This is not a snark or a bait)

And Odo's face was naaaaasty.

Didn't they have that little retractable sink and mirror in TOS? Musta been a space toidy somewhere near there.

That Tommy/mirror ref was a bit of a shoehorn. Took me a while to figure out. (Now if he had mentioned Anne-Margaret writhing on a phallic bolster covered in chocolate and baked beans…)

What turned me off DS9 was the stoic *boring* one-note captain and the Bajoras were nothing but Fundamentalist Christians.

HR, you just made me realize, if the Gorn were sophisticated enough to build and operate space ships, he should've been able to build a diamond cannon too.

Last thing: even in your defense, you still can't resist using "satirical" language.

And if you really want to get hung up on semantics then I'll rephrase: Your actions are bigoted.

Satire and hate speech are two very different things.

I retract my apologetic tone above, EJ. After reading your colorful "vocabulary" on the Ken Burns post, it speaks more volumes than any rational argument you might try to make here.

Mormorm, I stand corrected.

Damn, EJ, I promised myself I wasn't gonna flame ya… Denying someone their civil rights for an arbitrary reason (race, eye color, sexuality, left-handedness) is the definition of bigot. Sure wish the black civil rights movement had waited till the country was "ready" to hand over equality to them, or until that

David Gerrold (sp?) author of Trouble w/Tribbs was instructed that before every commercial break there must be a cliff-hanger of some sort with someone in jeopardy. He hated how it messed with any logical sense of story progression.

Ahh, that splains it. I'm always distracted by Smith's obsession with guys sucking cock to notice much else.
