He told me in an interview five years ago that he was retiring then.
And then he went into Mach drive...

Are we sure it wasn't just an impromptu surrender?

Maybe it was just an ersatz surrender?

Déconne-pas Philippe, va-pas t'tailler les veines!

It pains me that this is not reductio ad absurdum, and that your prediction is likely correct. Si la tendence se maintient, narcissism will devour everything, (tu me déprimes), but really, what will matter if the nutrition coaches have godawful kitchens?

The fluocaril toothbrush mattered for something, Philippe. A least to me it did. How can the world make you happy again?

I don't know. I used one of his watches once as an alarm clock, and if I hadn't, I would have missed several trains. Your purpose has been found, Philippe.

And I know its been said before, and will be said again, but the ad for the american apparel '40 dresses' is baffling. Who in the hell looks good in a teal spandex turtleneck dress? Who?!?!

@moff: I just want to meet someone named Ben Benben who names his son Ben Ben Benben, because I believe that if this were to happen a rip would form in the space time continuum and all things would bleed into one.

@adminslave: And DorothyMantooth says she had a friend who spelled her name Jeni and really wanted to marry Richard Jeni.

And also, THE COMMENTING IS APPARENTLY BROKEN FOR SOME PEOPLE, GAWKER.

This may be obvious, but didn't he design for Target? I think my boyfriend-at-the-time bought his ironing board.

Am I the only person who is constantly trying to arrange marriages where the names end up as idiotic as possible (among celebrities and whoever)? This guy should marry Ryan Phillippe in VT and become Phillippe Phillippe. Just like my friend Ben must marry Brian Benben. It will come to pass.
