"How many people can afford that?" Well, not everyone, but THAT'S OK.

Nooo, don't go Nick. I'll miss your Manchester accent and overly product-laden curly hair.

@Penny: I thought I was the only one watching Wipeout! Everybody needs a little lowbrow in their lives. (And refreshingly, it's lowbrow funny, not lowbrow nasty.) I'm also now hooked on "I Survived a Japanese Game Show."

"Hey, nice marmot."

@GirlSailor: Hmm...I appreciate the suggestion but would like to limit my exposure just to Swine Flu, not every single communicable disease in North America.

I gotta say a week long bout of Swine Flu sounds really good about now. Just a little bout, nothing too serious. I could really use the time off and I wouldn't care if I felt shitty. Where could I get me some, do you think?

@lesleykat: But she typically only buys half of them, thus saving a lot of money.

@linnyt is a walking cliché: Yeah, but my counterfit Old Navy jeans only cost $19.

You know, if you showed me a picture just of Lady Gaga's face I wouldn't know who I was looking at. Show me everything from the neck down and I'd be, "ah yes, Lady G. I'd recognize you anywhere."

For those who prefer McNulty over Stringer? I don't know about the rest of you but there's room in my heart and loins* for both. And Omar too.

Psshaw, everyone knows it's ho, not hoe.

I don't think ever I noticed how crazy buff her arms are. I'd like arms like that.

So, what that 12000 DOLLARS the cashier quoted? Surely that wasn't real. It looks like they're in a discount store. That's a lot of items for $12 000.

I wish I'd seen that I'm supposed to dip my fingers into the glass after I've measured out the sunscreen. I was just rubbing the glass all over myself. Fortunately I also did not know to disrobe so, sunburn averted anyway. Whew.

@tankearae: Our local marathon goes past my house. This past weekend I saw a muslim women if full head covering and long dress run past, as well as a hutterite women in long (it looked like WOOL!) dress. Also there was a dude dressed as an angel, with white robe, tinsel halo and wings. It was hella hot this weekend…

@undefined: Working with books for many years, as a book store lady and now as a librarian, I've gotten over the idea that books are sacred objects that must not be messed with. Books are destroyed all the time, for many reasons. Some of those reasons are dubious, some are noble, some are totally banal. I've come…

Even when they were younger they always looked like Ivy League psych professors. Now more than ever.

@MissSkittles is not your kind of lady: It's weird you should say that because I totally thought that was Summer Glau on the poster.

At first glance I thought his t-shirt said Jesus The ATM. Then I wondered if it meant Jesus! The ATM! or Jesus: The ATM. Then I thought those jeans kind of look like high-waisted lady jeans. Then I stopped thinking.

@Bluenose sailor: Yeah, just about every man I know has has one. And the fact that I know that shows how not hung up about it Canadians are. I even know the status of my boss' plumbing. (Not that I really wanted to.)
