Celebrities: vectors of venereal disease.

I hate to say it (I love [some of] his work), but, for some weird gut-feeling reason, that doesn't surprise me. :(

So, how is Neil Gaiman in bed?

Bruce Campbell *is* awesome, as is your story, which confirms his awesomeness.

Why, thank you! Not to overuse a cliche, but the Moomin family really are my spirit ... ummm, well, they're not animals. Spirit creatures?

Is there anything I can possibly do to grow up to be Helen Mirren?

Most of my close friends are (in my opinion) much better looking than I am. What does their willingness to befriend a lumpen uggo say about them?

Could Anonymous perhaps look into the person who put the bounty on the photos? Just a suggestion.

And it just weirds me out. Granted, I've been in-house for years, but I see friends and former colleagues who are still at

I am honestly surprised that senior management at the firm sent this out or felt that this advice was necessary. Clifford Chance is reasonably selective, and its US offices are in New York and DC, two of the most competitive legal markets in the country. I recall both my summer associateship interviews and the years

"Don't dress like you do everyday, wear something special." So... is that something that I should be doing every day? Because... Ah, never mind, I'll just see myself out.

Oh! There's my next holiday, all planned out.

I want to hang out with sloths. Where can I hang out with sloths?
