"The White Queen threshold is the point in a story when the heroine realizes that Anything Could Happen and stops expecting normality. The point where, if a howler monkey were to parachute from the heavens in front of her and begin singing "Danny Boy," she would just watch silently for a while and think, "Figures." The point where the brain has gone numb from impossibility and is now prepared to swallow anything." -Columbine

little ms. "sweet and innocent."

Now without pictures because Tripod has started to be jerks about it.

Now THAT's a fundraiser!

Seeing this somehow makes me grumpy.
Do not even try to force me to be happy when I'm having a bad day or I'll kick you.

Testing crappy TV products to see if they work
A useful site, and one I wish I'd found for the boyfriend before he tried using Epilstop to avoid shaving. Ouch.

Movies from Disney rides
They're making movies based on Country Bear Jamboree, Haunted Mansion and Pirates of the Caribbean. Given how much time I spent in all three of those, I'm curious to see how they come out.

Ooh, this sounds fun: a Real World movie. Get the plot, it sounds hilarious.

One question will determine your type:
Actually works pretty well.

Who gets to hit who?
Interesting points this article makes: a woman can hit a guy a bunch of times and is much more likely to get away with it, but a guy could never fight back without getting arrested ASAP. Women are always assumed to be the weaker one, and that's why it's regarded so badly when they're hit, but not so much when they hit back. Food for thought, I guess.

(I'm not saying it's okay for anybody to hit anybody, btw. It's just pondering the abused man dilemma. At any rate, I've had friends on both sides of the equation.)

Sharon Stone is NOT a member of Mensa. Hah.

Eddie Murphy as Ralph Kramden? Der, what?

Does that cabbage smell like lovemaking?
There are a whopping five women on SNL, which actually sets a record for most women ever. Also setting a record is the pregnant Ana Gasteyer.

EXPLODING TOADS!
I'm amazed that the former mayor of this town, our world-famous toad lover, hasn't heard of this yet and had a heart attack.

Zero tolerance is stupid. REALLY stupid.

The Singapore government set up a website to determine if you're addicted to sex.
Why am I tempted to say "If you're having sex while reading this test, you might be addicted?"

Just a celebratory post for the inevitable dumping of Pe.

Aw CRAP.
I really cannot stand the man. Why on earth is "pro life" so important that people who are ALREADY alive (and dying) aren't allowed to get help?

Politician admitted to smoking pot! Everybody faint now!
(Note: said politician is "not thrilled" to have this publicized, pot smokers will still be prosecuted)

Would you want to have to do all of this just to keep your job?
After this guy started having marital problems, his bosses said he had to (a) go to church weekly, (b) eat dinner as a family five times a week, (c) not drink, (d) sleep with his wife every single night, and (e) pray with her at the start and end of every day, or get fired.

What the HELL ever happened to having your own life outside of work where you could do whatever the hell you felt like, I'd like to know? How on earth would they even know he did these things, unless they planted spies or something? Gah.

2000 of us left the media this year. Though I'd guess that 1,999 of us left for reasons other than this guy's...

How do you manage to keep your newspaper in business and people employed? Hint: not by being overly moral and religious...

Monday, April 15, 2002
This cracks me up: Catholic Church must notify before moving into your neighborhood.
Best part is the Virgin Mary line and the priests who are er, equal opportunity.

Monday, April 15, 2002
That whole congratulations vs. best wishes for your engagement thing.
You know, in all honesty, I just do not see why this is such a big deal, or why it's fine to congratulate a guy on his luck and skill in bagging the girl, but not the girl for bagging the guy. Didn't they mutually bag each other here? (At least, I sure hope so.) Who gives a damn any more?

Monday, April 15, 2002
I'm not THAT bad.
(My boyfriend and roommate ganged up on me last week about my room.)

Woo hoo! Goldmember is back!
Though I did rather like some of the alternate titles- You Only Shag Thrice, Never Say Member Again, License to Shag...

Nice.
Not only will the CD not play in the computer, it'll CRASH the computer. Those of you with Macs may end up with even further damage. Geez!

If Germany had won WWI, the world would be a better place?
At least, this guy thinks so.

Hollywood and Vine
In which Sars writes advice for celebrities. I attempted to read the "Salutations Pussycat" letter aloud to my boyfriend over the phone and laughed so hard that I couldn't speak, my stomach hurt, and I actually cried. ("Breathe, dear.") I never got much past the vibrator part, and sadly he has no idea what the hell I'm laughing so hard about. I'm still having to restrain myself from giggling too loud when I read it now at work.

Petition to make Sept. 11 a national holiday.
I found this somewhere where people were arguing vociferously against trivializing the day by making it into a day off. I can see their point, but I have to admit that it doesn't seem so bad to me. Those who are all emotionally broken up by the day won't have to suffer through work pretending to give a damn, and others can get cheered up by a day off. Then again, I really feel that this workaholic, 2-weeks-vacation-if-you're-lucky country needs more national holidays, and I'd probably support National Buy More Cheese Day if I got a day off in which to do it. (Though I wouldn't go quite so far as to support National Celebrate Child Molesters Day.)

Friday, April 5, 2002
Finally, decent pointe shoes!
(Yay plastic!) Though it shocks the hell out of me- and I used to dance IN pointe shoes- that for the professionals, they can wear them out in just one class. They're bloody expensive, too. My gawd.

Hilarious British It Girl spoof interview
I'm amused that she goes on about her "work" and yet you have no idea what it is. And I love the title of her movie.

Friday, April 5, 2002
I feel sorry for this poor dude.

Friday, April 5, 2002
Oh yeah, that's real nice to do to somebody.

Early puberty linked to certain shampoos. Geez.

Interactive television
Discusses websites about Buffy (most of which I read by now) and the West Wing episode where Sorkin dissed Television Without Pity.

Friday, April 5, 2002
Finally, interesting reruns on television!

And here I thought all those Bartlet is my President stickers were a joke...
Apparently not for some people. Geez, how dumb are Americans, anyway?

What becomes of the brokenhearted?
They go to this restaurant in Thailand especially for them. It's kinda odd, but hey, whatever you need in that situation, right?

Bill Clinton suspiciously shops for bikinis
He claims they're for Chelsea, but come on, (a) what fathers do you know who buy bikinis for their daughters at any age, especially when (b) the girl's over 21? And since when does Chelsea need bikinis in ENGLAND, anyway? I don't buy it for a second. Not that I care at this point if he cheats, mind you, but how dumb is it for you to mention this to a reporter?

Friday, April 5, 2002
A vaccine for cavities? Yay!
I can't believe cavities, of all things, could be vaccinated against. Man, I wish I'd had that fifty cavities ago.

Ah, the joys of the post-911 world...
That old chemistry class joke about how dihydrogen monoxide's gonna kill ya took an ugly turn when used for April Fool's this year. Really, a "terrorist act?"

HEE! This cracks me up no end.

Adultolescents- we can't afford to go it alone any more.
Believe me, I'd love it if I could. I'm not quite as bad as the people in this article (I haven't had to move home, but yes, I've had to take their money for food/health insurance/etc.), but really, what else can you do if circumstances stink?

Apparently Italy has the same problem, only over there parents don't get much financial benefits from having kids AND they have to support theirs until they find a job they like. Period. Too bad my Italian dad wouldn't go for this...

Curable Romantics
This site's amusing. (The link will change to www.curableromantics.com in the future.)

Tuesday, April 2, 2002
Judging on sight, not sound.
This is a good article, but this is what sticks in my head: Instrumentalists audition behind heavy screens, so judges can't be swayed by anything other than how a player plays (the floor is even padded to mask the sound of high heels). Good lord, even hearing a woman's heels would cause them to be judged negatively?! Gah.

They REALLY killed Kenny off? Waaah!
(Though it is amusing that Brian Boitano really does use his song in shows.)

Yay, microbicides!
What a relief it's going to be when these finally get out on the market.

Australians are doing well working on a male pill.

A whole lot more on the whole damn thing.

Some amusing comments from Lex on last week's Survivor episode
Namely (a) about his "usually reliable gut" (I can't believe he still thinks his gut is reliable!) and (b) hey, Ethan and I made an alliance on the second day, and look how far he went.

Sunday, March 17, 2002
This is what they consider to be edgy style? Huh?

My boyfriend's become yet another Sims addict, and I suggested he do this to his characters now that he's getting fed up with them.

Why you shouldn't sleep with someone you interviewed.
(At least, not before the story's been published. And for that matter, you really should skip the married ones.)

Children are women's property?
Well, sorta, from the legal standpoint when it comes to who kills them. Huh.

The pot and the kettle.
So Hugh Grant thinks it's unmanly of Tom Cruise to pose topless on a magazine cover. Well, Hugh, I've got an issue of Talk that I bought specifically to see YOU shirtless in, which you were. And just because you had a shirt half-on on the cover of it doesn't get you off the hook here.

(He's cute, but not that bright, I suspect.)

Saturday, March 9, 2002
I pledge my eternal love to this site.
It is brilliant and hilarious. I especially recommend this horror story (and I thought I got it bad from relatives!) and this sweet one. And I can't stop laughing at the butt bongo.

Which 80's movie star are you?
I came out with some guy from a movie I never even saw. Dammit, I wanted Lloyd Dobler!

You knew that sometime, somebody would have to come up with this...
Now there's finally a team known as "The Fighting Whities." I can't stop snickering.

More about their T-shirts and origins.

What to show during the family hour of television...
Apparently someone on Survivor got stung by a sea urchin and you have to pee on them to get it to stop hurting. Even more fun, the pee-er was a woman. This oughta be interesting to see how they handle it...

Article about the Tribute of Light memorial

No more sex for Britney.
Oh, I weep for the future.

(Updated:)She denies it, but I still suspect it's only a matter of weeks. (And gawd, someone gave Angelina and Billy Bob a baby?) Seems like she's having a rough week, between this and the whole pee thing.

Mentioning Britney anywhere in an article is almost guaranteed to up readership! Whee, more hits for me! :P

He knew how to treat a woman. I should have known he was a fraud.
Man, that's just sad.

Is this guy an idiot, or what?
Then again, maybe he's just trying to screw his ex-wife.

They won't be hiring more people when the economy improves. Crap.

Men wear pantyhose for warmth and comfort.
I can't believe this. Here I am, a girl, thinking that it'd be warmer to wear Kleenex tied around my legs than that snaggy shit, and now men are under the same delusions that my mom is. Geeez.

I would survive a horror movie. Would you?

Saturday, March 2, 2002
Aw shit, no. No, no no, no no. Please, no.

Saturday, March 2, 2002
Honestly, I think this is just wrong.
I don't care how very, very badly you want a child for the last few years of your sanity, I think this is a horrible thing to do to your child. Yes, I realize that accidents happen and in those cases there's no guarantee that Mom'll grow up to survive your childhood- but in this case, it's well known she's only got a few good years left and then she diminishes and dies. I would so not want to put a child through that and traumatizing them at an early age when I could have avoided the entire thing. Hell, I've got a deteriorating parent and it's hard enough to deal with in my twenties. It's gotta be an absolute horror to smaller kids. This is just cruel.

Saturday, March 2, 2002
Damn, and I can't believe she got away with that.

Saturday, March 2, 2002
Where can I get a job like this?
I realize that it kinda sucks for her, but I'd so trade positions with her anyway!
