SCARY SADSHAW =
Carrie Bradshaw

On the other hand, I am a straight male and cannot watch one second of "Sex in the City" without screaming. The scream begins without sound, like a scream in a nightmare or when a child falls down--but then ALL of my voice catches up with it.

Which is why the whole waterboarding, Project Ultra thing is so heavy handed. Someone get those episodes translated, so we can have peace in our time!


PS to EG:
Be sure to try the SCARY SADSHAW schtick on Jezebel at your first opportunity! Those comments should be worth reading.

Darienlake

]]> <![CDATA[My Top 8 Greatest Achievements At Gawker]]> @lawyergay: You're right -- I think I was just feeling particularly fat and in my mid30s yesterday. And I'm not even single!

Darienlake

]]> <![CDATA[My Top 8 Greatest Achievements At Gawker]]> What is this so-scrutinized, overarching thing called Gawker: in which all of the contributors claim to be writing from the 'center of the universe' ... and yet, somehow, find things to be so unliveable... that they all leave after just 20 minutes.

Well I have loved your stuff the most of all the defectors, for what that's worth. May you find your (journalistic?) bliss.

Older man also submits: Lose the Tatoos...

Sorry -- chalk it off to datedness.

Be Well and Be Big out there -- I expect you shall be!

]]> <![CDATA[My Top 8 Greatest Achievements At Gawker]]> @Meatloaf On Display: Maybe we should do our own lists of what we think Emily's Best 8 was. Because I agree. In my clumsy way, I was trying to find a way to support Tionna as a write-in candidate.

Writers sometimes don't know their own best work.

"Truth," said a traveller,
"Is a rock, a mighty fortress;
Often have I been to it,
Even to its highest tower,
From whence the world looks black."

"Truth," said a traveller,
"Is a breath, a wind,
A shadow, a phantom;
Long have I pursued it,
But never have I touched
The hem of its garment."

And I believed the second traveller;
For truth was to me
A breath, a wind,
A shadow, a phantom,
And never had I touched
The hem of its garment.

--Stephen Crane

Heh heh.

Goodbye, Commenters!

]]> <![CDATA[My Top 8 Greatest Achievements At Gawker]]> thanks for the best of emily, i somehow missed 6) and 7) when they were originally posted. what a loss it would have been. 6) clearly has the funniest tagline ever. and how weird is it to see tinsley mortimer and daniela sea standing next to each other in a picture, in a half-assed embrace, no less. i am trying to think of a more unlikely combination of two people in one picture. reg. 7) let the healing begin, and what better way to do it then with utterly irreverent jokes and comments. big thank you to all commenters, this will be my most forwarded link ever. good luck, emily, i will look for you on jezebel.

p.s. "josh, we had a time" is pure genius. can't wait to use that on my lying, backstabbing co-worker. reminds me of starting a toast with "we haven't always gotten along" and then stopping right there.

SarahHeartburn

]]> <![CDATA[My Top 8 Greatest Achievements At Gawker]]> @CaptainFantastic: They certainly appear to be the quintessential white Reeboks...but they could also be LA Gear. It's a little hard to tell from the pic. Either way I commend Em's mom on the choice. At that age she very well could have been stuck in a pair of Zips or Kangaroo's with some Osh Kosh overalls and then where would she be? The Dinosaur tee with the literacy slogan was telling enough.

Irrefutably, she was destined to be on Gawker, or Reading Rainbow with Lavar Burton.

Spirit Fingers

]]> <![CDATA[My Top 8 Greatest Achievements At Gawker]]> @Ms.Smalls: Emily discovered you, but you made Ask Tionna awesome on your own. Gives me hope the next stage of Gawker will still be great. Gosh I'm full of optimism and bourbon today.

Ms.Smalls

]]> <![CDATA[My Top 8 Greatest Achievements At Gawker]]> In the future I will always feel a pang whenever I hear or read something particularly Emily-y...you will be missed! I will have to head over to Jezebel more than I currently do to see what you're up to.
--Yours in femiladyism, Lycosidae.

Lycosidae

]]> <![CDATA[My Top 8 Greatest Achievements At Gawker]]> Thank you for engendering in me a profound and lasting fear of walking four abreast with a group of chicks. It needed to happen.

Although the fact that Gawker Media gives the heir apparent, Gossip Girl (In The City) and its worshippers a pass is the most irksomely fatiguing inconsistency. (I'd draw a Scary Sadshaw parallel to one of the characters for myself, but I can't bring myself to watch that jenkem.)

So long and thanks for all the dish.

Après vous, le déluge... et délosers?

Hez

]]> <![CDATA[My Top 8 Greatest Achievements At Gawker]]> @Darienlake: I think Emily's invocation of "Scary Sadshaw" serves more of an apotropaic function, rather than actually casting aspersions on, you know, an actual person.

lawyergay

]]> <![CDATA[My Top 8 Greatest Achievements At Gawker]]> @the cajun boy: Exactly. That has to be #10.

I still hope for a regular Emily's Book Reviews for Gawker, and more of her inimitable restrained musings on life and love on Jezebel, which I will now start reading.

]]> <![CDATA[My Top 8 Greatest Achievements At Gawker]]> @Spirit Fingers: Re: the high tops with velcro: Are those Reeboks from the aerobics era? I always wanted a pair of those, but I think the boys version had two velcro straps. If so, I'm dating that photo circa 1988. I never did get them.

CaptainFantastic

]]> <![CDATA[My Top 8 Greatest Achievements At Gawker]]> Miss you Emily! Can you post a picture of yourself in a bikini? The one-piece didn't do you justice!

Looker

]]> <![CDATA[My Top 8 Greatest Achievements At Gawker]]> As much as I adore your plays on words and your general intellect and I think you won that fight with Jimmy Kimmel, I am sort of irritated that a yoga-bodied 26 year old with a no-doubt promising career ahead of her thinks it's OK to cast aspersions on the sad and single delusional women in their 30s. It's like a high-school senior giving a new college graduate a hard time for not having gotten laid enough as a student.

Good luck to ya, hope you don't find yourself lonely at that age where men begin to ignore you in favor of a girl in her 20s.

BTW, love the high tops with the Velcro, and the sheepish grin that says you either just pooped during the class photo, or the boy next to you smells like Doritos and you like it.

Good luck!

]]> <![CDATA[My Top 8 Greatest Achievements At Gawker]]> Keep writing it like disaster.
Oh, and...what a long, strange trip it's been. Yep.

Seriously, though. I'm going to be looking for your waspish novel/roman a clef very soon.

lawyergay

]]> <![CDATA[My Top 8 Greatest Achievements At Gawker]]> Oh come on everyone. It's exciting. Emily and Josh and Choire will do great for themselves. They're coming off a high-profile job and easing themselves softly into a whole world of promise. Choire will return to his first love of following Damian Hirst, collecting his shed hair and skin flakes. Emily will write an angsty novel about Gawker, then burn it, then make a fortune in the science-fiction world with a trilogy about a lovelorn psychic cyborg searching for authenticity in the republic of the advanced humanoid lizard people. Josh will finally perfect his "angry dance" and take it on tour with Imogen Lloyd-Webber. It'll be fantastic.

I myself am job-hunting in Scotland, and will be going soon! Woot! Everything is exciting in 2008. Salman Rushdie will probably release another novel. Maybe John Updike will die, finally giving me that push I need to actually read one of his books! But proably not. I get to review a production of Macbeth for a newspaper! I bought that Harold Bloom book about Shakespeare and it's awesome. I've lost like 20 pounds in the last 2 months and I look awesome.

What are you doing in 2008, commenters? Drinking doesn't count as a "thing", but drugs do. Interesting drugs are worth like... 2 novels each on the list of "things".

]]> <![CDATA[My Top 8 Greatest Achievements At Gawker]]> My favorite Emily moment: Emily walks into the office one afternoon carrying a small white dog. Someone asks Emily "what's with the dog?". Emily says, "It's Julia Allison's dog." "So why do you have Julia Allison's dog?". Emily, without hesitation, "Because that's just the way my life is."

I use that phrase ALL THE TIME now.
