I was pretty indifferent to the event itself last time I made it there for it, but would love to meetup with some Hoovillians, and at least check it out. Probably leave when it gets too crowded/loud/late. We're all officially old, you realize this?

Yes, the bodies look to be in extremely good shape--but due to lack of parts what is under the hood may well be closer to a lawnmower engine than a smallblock Chevy. Still, I *really* hope when the island finally does open up they don't all get tossed/scraped. I would love to experience the island before American corporations flood in and ruin it!

Wow, +1 for Anonymous getting involved, that's quite a lot of vice for one little town!

Damn it, I must be missing out because I go to the gym at my work! But I don't quite understand gym sex. The steam room is too damn hot and you can't see anything! And I've seen a lot of talk about a korean spa in the valley (here in LA) on Craigslist, I've gone there a couple times (for a great scrub/massage) and don't understand how/where anything else would happen there...

My understanding is that some retirees have noticed that and spend the majority of their time on cruise ships, I think there is also talk of one or two that are to specialize in that kind of living aboard... Food's included but isn't alcohol where they get you?

I've been watching some of Kathy's latest specials on Bravo lately and find them pretty funny. She has some funny bits in them about her relationship with Anderson.

I've also enjoyed Austin the most of any city I've visited in Texas. It's no New Orleans, but it's a lot of fun! Though I did have a bad escort experience there once. As always, letting the little head do the thinking and hiring off of Rentboy instead of a review have their downsides...

Congrats!

I'm also interested but unable to plan that far ahead. And I'm often in Vegas around that time for something work related too, but otherwise I'd love to be there! And the locals look great! Would love to try EmoboixD or Khori sometime!

I liked both movies a lot, though the tacked-on tension in Argo towards the end annoyed me a bit.

I hear good things as well, hoping to see it in the next couple of days.

I'm betting Anonymous will do more damage than this petition, and am eager to see it!

Those posters looked awful, and the last movie was so horrible I was determined not to give a fuck about this movie... Damn you Expat!!! That trailer started to get me excited to see this!

My feelings were best summed up over at BiE. “The tragic aftermath of that idiot Morning Zoo radio prank from Australia rather obliterates any other discussion of the events in question, but, Lord above, am I going to be everlastingly sick of Kate Middleton’s pregnancy very soon. Really, a full nine months of pretending we care about the cosseted denizens of a superannuated institution that we threw out of this country almost 250 years ago? Endless reports, even on the local news, from professional “royal watchers” in the media? (If anyone ever sees me described that way in any public medium, you have my permission to shoot me on the air.) I have more respect for the guys who report from the red carpets on award shows than I do for the “royal watchers.” Hell, I have more respect for people who castrate bulls for a living.” Charlie Pierce

It's a trick/test! As soon as you put your hand in some crazy old witch will have a needle at your neck! What's in the box? Pain!

Yep, that's the thig about Costco, they introduce you to a great food, you buy it for months--though you have to hunt it down a couple times because they keep moving it--then one day, poof, they no longer carry it. Or you go there for something specific like a keyboard and may not find any at all. Sometimes different Costcos have different things. But Best Buy or Fry's will have a real selection for you. Just keep the box and tape the receipt to it for a while--they certainly won't be as forgiving!

On #2, don't think a limit works, but do think they need to hold the floor to sustain it! If it's important to them several will have to work together--and be seen to be working to obstruct whatever it is. NO MORE of this SILENT HOLD bullshit!

Yep, the nearest thing to the journalism you describe that I can find on the tube is The Daily Show--how sad is that? Though Maddow can get pretty close too.

The Republicans have shown for over 4 years that the good of the country means *nothing* to those that are left, all the people who did care have been drummed out. So they deserve what they get--but maybe in return they'll be allowed to propose and debate amendments again. IF they can have them NOT all be political stunts, that is.

I've really been enjoying Elementary, to my surprise. It's certainly no Sherlock but it is a good replacement for Law and Order, Criminal Intent.

Many musicians have special ones that are molded to their ears, supposed to be great headphones, I've seen ads for one of the high-end manufacturers somewhere.

For my generation it was the Challenger explosion.
