    This makes that time I was propositioned for naked pics on this here very blog by a complete stranger whose name I'm now very aware of, that little easier to digest.
    Servicey!

    If I can carry off that guy in the picture, do I get to keep him? It's kind of like adopting a rescue puppy who might turn out to be an excellent dog. Or not.

    Ha ha, #8... I know a girl who all she does is talk about The Box and all she does at The Box is hit up the owner and anybody for coke. And yes, she is to be avoided.

    This one's better written and funnier. I'm not saying that because this is the woman, it's more that I'm relieved to find that it's the case. Also, having just looked at one of that Carney guy's videos on his website, is he seriously trying to act like he's a player of some sort? Because that's just hilarious.

    Apart from the gin martinis thing, I am none of these other things, and some of the other things, I don't know what they are.

    @Dave J.: Umm, you're a star commenter on Gawker, so the one right after the Gin Martinis applies.

    I drink gin martinis, but I don't sneer at vodka, so I guess I'm OK there. Though I do sneer at the fact that I need to specify a GIN martini these days to get just a martini.

    I could do a gay version of this, but it would be really short. Instead, I'll just say that getting gay married is a long slow slide into being a Golden Girl.

    32. Avoid any girl who has rules or tests for men she dates. She should be on anti-psychotics.

    Because who is shaving the barber am i right?

    Also avoid Bertrand Russell because he had a giant dong and because he is dead.

    I have to say, James Franco's writing was self-important claptrap.

    After the first paragraph, I found myself asking, "Mr Franco, why should I care about your 'art'?"

    I am still waiting for an answer.

    "But wait. The women. Look at the women. All is not well. I'm thinking about the women. This is Iran."

    This is Toro, crawling across the ring to retrieve his mouthpiece in The Harder They Fall. When you're stunned, you go back to basics, like simple declarative sentences. And, like Toro, a celebrity is convinced he's Champ simply because everybody lays down for him.

    @Tremonius: Penn would do much better as a TV reporter. Or at least please my broadcast prof in J-school, whose eternal refrain was: "Short. Declarative. Sentences." As someone who's addicted to compound adjectives and adverbs, I don't get it, but I suppose sounding like a telegram has its advantages.

    @snugbug: Mark Twain says he learned from an editor you write something, then go back and take out all the adjectives. But I read later about ol' Sal and Dean cruising DC during the inaugural for Harry S Truman and at the end of all the vast armaments lined up murderous and threatening there was one ordinary small boat "looking pitiful and foolish in the snowy grass."

    I always loved that ever since. It's great humor and done simply, and you have to use adjectives to make it work. I try and remember that.

    Actually, Bono's worst op-ed piece to date was an interminable "ode to Berlin" that he penned for the NYT for the 2oth anniversary "of the wall's falling" this past October.

    It's formatted as a 2,000-word film script that flashes backward and forward, and during which Bono refers to himself in the third person as "THE SINGER" (sic, all caps) with the ironic subtlety of a jackhammer tearing up the pavement.

    Cobbled together from deeply metaphoric constructions such as "The black has devoured the blue," and "The bandmates found it darkly funny to imagine the papers back home carrying a photo of them protesting Mikhail Gorbachev’s great drawing back of the Iron Curtain," the message emerges:

    Yeah, the fall of the Berlin was kinda cool and symbolic and whatever, but the fact that U2 was there to witness it blow-by-blow is what really propelled it into history books.

    This shit was way over the top even for someone with Bono's messianic complex. One has to laugh..

    @epiclady: Your loss, lady. You missed the part when Bono interrupted German Chancellor Angela Merkel during a G-8 summit to school her in how to do her job, plus his hard-earned, Weltschmerz-y conclusion: "I think honesty is the hardest thing for a performer"..
