On the plus side, I think we just found out who lives in the cottage painted by Thomas Kinkade.

There's just no way you could ever listen to what that guy is saying while he's wearing that. Impossible. It's really a bonafide douche-suit. If it were Halloween and I wanted to look like an asshole, that's what I would wear. If I was in a play and the script called for "pretentious d-bag enters stage left" that would be the wardrobe in the scene. It should really rip off with Velcro given its multiple uses.

@Spirit Fingers: Actually if the chap wearing it were thinner, pretty, slightly fey, had hair, was glad to see you and lived 80 years ago, it would probably work. But on this swollen-faced grunting frat-boy gargoyle, not so much.

Still trying to make some connect-the-dots sense between the Revlon billionaire (Perelman), the moon-faced serious actress (Zellweger) and Mister John Bon Jovi owning a restaurant. What the hey?! The three of them walking into a bar is the opening line of a joke.

@josh speed: Alas, the punchline is: "Even THEY all still had to wait 20 minutes for a sucky drink that cost $20."

I feel hypocritical hating on these people because they put me through school when I tended bar for them hither and yon. I just despised when the masculine ones called me "sweet cheeks" and shoved a twenty toward my cleavage.

It is nice when they are segregated into a few towns/bars so you don't have to hang out with them.

Jacquelynn [sic] Powers, you need to work on your monotone, hon.

Margaritas in a mason jar would get you laughed out of Austin. Seriously.

On another note, why does Mexican/TexMex suck once you leave Texas? It's not that hard to make and make right.

@ndhapple: I lived in Austin forever, and now I wander around New York looking for decent Mexican food. Frida sez (see avatar): Best so far downtown is the tiny Pinche Taqueria on Lafayette & Bleecker, or the Calexico cart. An btw, Frida would hate the Hamptons.

@bettysue: You have to go where Mexicans actually live, and it's not Manhattan. Sunset Park is a good place to start.

@Tbee: TexMex uses the far superior red chilis, whereas Arizona relies on the girly green chilis.

Don't get me started on the effeminancy of California's Mexican cuisine.

I've never tasted Armand de Brignac but I'm assuming it's just another trendy swill popular amongst douchebags. Personally, I'd rather spend the evening sharing a few beers with actual...you know...people.
