(kudos to dan m)

no

It's only words unless they're true.

Ha!

his teeth are revolting

His upperliplessness is also kind of weird.

He has the same chipmunky smile as Martin Sheen.

i still think the best actor to portray him is the guy who played Carcetti

except he has huge teeth

I've totally been sitting here at my desk for the last two minutes smiling with my upper lip tucked in. Now my teeth are all dried out.

hahaha i have a friend who HATES that
i do it just to upset her

his teeth are revolting

Noone is mentioning his hair?

I would like to see him portrayed by this fellow:

http://www.variety.com/graphics/photos/_mugm/mccolloch_bruce.jpg

his hair is a given -- we're examining the finer points

redmond, we mentioned his hair a lot in the last Chicago thread. There's only so much you can say about it. Also, it's like a bad smell in that after awhile, you just kind of get used to it. Also, everybody in Illinois has hair like that.

More finer points: His eyes are really close together.

we all have hair like that

hairline: v low

And his physiogamy suggests hubris and dishonesty and a tendency to leave half drunk glasses of milk around the house.

He would have gotten away with all of this if he had grown a trustworthy Amish beard.

Like Sam Zell's.

So many LOLs!!!!
Esp: Also, everybody in Illinois has hair like that.

One reliable source (Facebook friend) claims to know something about Blago and his nanny.

ew
he is too old to have a nanny

actual lol

i still think the best actor to portray him is the guy who played Carcetti

No, it has to be David Caruso with a bad dye job.

credit to whoever had the presence of mind to cap that Yahoo news screen

This thread title is top notch. I heard something about his taint yesterday on NPR and lost it.

As for actors, I swear there was some common 80's character actor - like the perpetual henchman of the villain-of-the-week on the A-Team, Fall Guy, Airwolf, or what have you - who looked exactly like this.

No, it has to be David Caruso with a bad dye job.

We were approached 'pay to play.' That, you know, he'd raise me 500 grand. An emissary came. Then the other guy would raise a million . . . if I made [Senate Candidate 5] a senator.

YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEeEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

kinda looks like the dad from wonder years

I say forget physical image and get an actor who get deliver.

I don't believe there's any cloud that hangs over me.

*puts on sunglasses*

I think there's nothing but sunshine hanging over me.

YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

Who plays Fitzgerald? Christ, the way things are going he could just have his own series of prosecution-based movies, Jack Ryan style.

here's my favorite songs of 2008 mix for all you:

is there a thread for the movie "baby mama"? i searched and couldn't find it.

if you have something really important to say about baby mama, you can say it here

it sucked and i hated it and i want my 90 minutes back

oh it wasn't that bad

i was expecting humor

here's my favorite songs of 2008 mix for all you

Sweet. I only own two of those songs.

"Baby Mama"

thank you
i don't mean to start a fite about this movie, i just have had it with "you are a retard/she-male until you have a baby and then you are fine" movies. i am never seeing another one again ever.

the main problem i had with baby mama is that we returned our copy to the wrong blockbuster and then they said we had lost it and charged us for it and that it was our responsibility to track down that copy of baby mama at the one blockbuster and make sure they returned it to the other blockbuster

to be fair, that is more of a problem with blockbuster than baby mama

I just started a thread, but it's not about you, Amanda, even though you were the inspiration. I just wanted to tell you so you didn't think I was being passive-agressive:
"I want those two hours of my life back!"

I'm not going to see Baby Mama because I suspect I will have issues with it and I really like Tina Fey and Amy whatserface and I want to keep it that way. Also I kind of lump it in mentally with those Dumb Dude Apatow comedies and I've really had enough of them.

Somewhat related: I've had this major urge to watch Arrested Development again.

Courtney and I went to the Brew and View to see Baby Mama. It was all Courtney's idea and I was opposed, but it turned out it since when Courtney got drunk she got bored and said "Can we leave this STUPID movie??"

IT IS snowing IN NEW ORLEANS!

I think I may be in the initial stages of a cold, unfortunately.

Also, and perhaps related, for some reason it has taken me like two hours to get to sleep twice this week, which is v. unusual for me. It's not like I'm lying awake obsessing about something -- I can feel my body drift toward sleepyland, but it just never takes that final plunge. Super-annoying.

I was outside saying not so bad not so bad (and bright and beautiful), and then the wind blew in my face and that was a game-changer.

i went outside to try and dig our car out (to no avail, there's some serious ice under that snow) and it wasn't that bad but also i was working that shovel pretty hard

apparently Bridgeview (where the Fire's stadium is) has the best middle eastern food in Chicago... who knew

http://skyfullofbacon.com/blog/?p=143

I am quite intrigued

I think I'm getting a cold, too. Sucks! John - take some Tylenol or Advil PM. That shit is sleepytime magic.

I was okay walking to the bus stop this morning except I got that froze nose feeling in my nose, which always makes me nervous, and my thighs were burning with the cold burn by the time I got to the bus stop. I haven't been back outside since then, though. Ha!

xp - Sky Full of Bacon. Alarming, yet delicious....

I WANT THIS

this thread inspired me to make some eggs. over easy. too good.

I have decided I will not leave the apartment today, I think it is too cold.

Just stay home and eat eggs. You'll be much happier that way.

John - take some Tylenol or Advil PM. That shit is sleepytime magic.

That's a good idea. I almost bought some Tylenol PM a couple weeks ago, but decided to buy regular Tylenol instead. Guess it can't hurt to have both on hand.

i recommend a hot toddy

I actually will cut a Tylenol PM in half (lol wuss) if I take it on a week night so I am not a total slugabed the next morning.

This attorney has used the phrase "per say" about ten times in his brief and I'm very annoyed by that.

ugh per say

He also single spaced his brief and decided that paragraph breaks are optional, at least for the first five pages. It reads like a manifesto smuggled out of a hospital for the criminally insane.

when I can't sleep, xanax is my friend. though obviously one needs a prescrption, etc etc

how do these people get through law school?

i should take a snow/egg day tomorrow.

how do these people get through law school?

I don't know! It's not like it was easy. Well, maybe it wasn't easy from my POV because I worked hard and got good grades. I do know some real stupids (like the classmate who had never heard of Guantanamo Bay, for example) who managed to graduate/pass the bar and are presumably working. I guess if you have the money to skate through without being too worried about getting a job and therefore paying off your loans, you can be a total dumbass and then be a lawyer who is probably making a lot more money than me not that I'm bitter although dude, I totally am.

lol at snow/egg day

I think you mean PER SE.

it's latin for per say.

for some reason this "per say" talk is making me think of foghorn leghorn going around going "ah say ah say"

i like liquid tylenol pm so i can dole out the proper amount
half dose for the mister, he is lol sensitive
full dose for me, i am difficult to sedate

AVOID vanilla flavored tylenol pm though, it tastes like cheap scented candles

We're a bunch of Tylenol PM junkies.

I knew some coke heads in college (lol some) who would take TPM to sleep after a particularly enthusiastic coke binge. And then I knew a pregnant lady whose doctor said she should take it because she couldn't sleep in the late stages of her pregnancy. So I figured this is something that is: 1) cheap; 2) OTC; 3) strong enough to put down a couple of tweakers; and yet 4) safe enough for a pregnant lady, it's like the most amazing drug ever.

Move over "hemp," Tylenol PM is here!

i just use booze

Not safe enough for a pregnant lady, though.

Words and phrases Jesse has used during the phone conversation we are current having:

Cunt butter
Baby batter
Mom

Then he said, "Talking to you is like... really awesome." Now he's talking about signature lines or some shit. I'm not really listening anymore.

in every Jesse conversation ever

what??? that's how the attorney spelled it?

Why don't you????

OK, whatever.

LOL

Jesse was confused, so in case anybody else was also confused, the dumdum attorney, NOT ME, misspelled "per se" as "per say." I should have (sic)ced it (I did in the Official Legal Document that I was writing).

Also, remember that time Jesse forwarded an email from his boss encouraging all of us to call and put our cell phone numbers on a non-existent cell phone-specific Do Not Call list and duped at least two people into signing up for porn/visits from Jehovah's Witnesses/junk mail about Sleep Number Beds for the rest of their lives?

It's like the time I (unwittingly) led my father to call a gay telephone chat line. :(

I can barely remember my own name on some days, so if I am busy and/or concerned that I may forget to do something later, I will almost certainly blindly follow any direction given prior to 11 a.m.

I opened for Cunt Butter at Cal's once.

Hey guys. Sorting paper with mittens on is hard. But necessary.

They were coming through Detroit from Canada and got held up at customs, so they had to just show up and play without a soundcheck. (xpost)

Cunt Butter (UK) are so much better

real product

Boy Butter - full of boy buttery goodness! A real alternative to Crisco - Boy Butter has many of the same attributes. It has a similar consistency, melts on contact with skin and provides a non-drying lubrication that lasts for hours. And even better - it tastes good too! Very popular for use with toys / fisting / heavy arse play - but not suitable for latex condoms due to the oil content.

leave it to britain
