I'm proud to honestly say that Joseph Gordon-Levitt was my first celebrity crush back when he was on "Third Rock from the Sun." And I still like him.

The end.

There is no need to go al the way to France. Washington, D.C, Drag Queens. Halloween. Dupont Circle. Every Year.

@adiam7: See also: New Orleans' Annual Mascara Drag Race. Except for that one I think the ladies have to not only run from bar to bar in full drag and heels, downing a signature drink at each, they also have to eat a chili cheeseburger as they go.

Brian, I've probably overstayed my time on this post. I'm sober here. (The weather must be weird.)

(1) I have lost all respect for you for posting that pic. I'm not going to gain it back unless you address Gawkernation and explain why you did so.

(2) Any woman or man looks 100 years older under their dermatologist's brilliant light and super-magnifying glasses or camera lenses. Those are the conditions under which that photo was taken.

(3) Apologize, you ass. And take the picture down while you are at it.

Love, Registered.

For the record: I pretty much despise Hillary Clinton. That does nothing to mitigate my annoyance at the stupid sexism of this post.

In reply to Four Ways Listicles Make Us Immortal, According to Umberto Eco
After Sarah Palin outrages the very last person on earth and a certain newly dead French anthropologist's predictions come to pass, new species will evolve on this planet to cope with ever-changing conditions. These animals might be intelligent enough to foster their own version of society. Perhaps even a society superior to ours according to however one might judge such things.

However, inevitably, the sun will explode and turn Earth into a cinder. Any fragment of humanity that might have existed will be vaporized. All that will remain will be some vestigial Voyager-like exploration spacecraft and radio signals that get asymptotically weaker with each light year they travel.

So really, Umberto Eco's reasons why lists provide us with an illusion of order in nature and immortality are the same reasons we watch "Sex Rehab w/ Dr. Drew" or listen to Kendra Jade ride the Sybian; because we are witnessing what will certainly be the last evidence of humanity. And the gravity of that is undeniable.

Seeing as the bulk of Windows IT and development is outsourced and offshored, how is this a bad idea?

Corps and end users really don't care where their data will end up -- at least our wonderful government *does*.

This evolutionary move just warms my blackened heart.

@blix: I always wonder though "aren't there ONLY 5 ab moves"? I mean, how many could there possibly be that don't actually work? And how many could there really be in total.

Is there really some rube out there doing the "180 degree backwards standing ab fold spine breaking crunch"?

Love his writing, and now he has even explained my List habit. That Umberto knows where it's at.

@forwardmotion: He's a semiotics professor. He's an expert in the science of visual symbols. Visual symbolism impacts our lives in profound ways that we can seldom consciously acknowledge.
