soapbox

I’m not going to give any spoilers since y’all should go see the movie. It was definitely worth the ticket.

The parts of the movie that I liked the best though weren’t really parts that had much to do with the plot. My particular favorite was when all the little bunnies in the forest beat their chests and howl in response to the wererabbit. A close second is the “cute little bunny” who, despite being locked in irons, continually tries to punch anyone in arm range.

So yeah, it gets my thumbs up.

I’ve been looking at my spam email folder lately because I had one real message that got incorrectly labeled.

Anyway, there were a few interesting subject lines.
1) “I loved getting cummed inside me”
2) “I’m single, petite, and like to deepthroat. Come meet me ”

And the last one, although I don’t really understand how this is spam. Maybe it’s just some sort of advertising or “send your birthday message to millions of people” sort of thing.
3) “Hey ashlee..fuck a dime… your my silver dolla.. HAPPY 22nd B-day HOLLA! we’ll have that party when your not knocked up anymore!”

Here’s the word from the real source.

Just a few years ago, the jeans dominating the premium market required either a bikini wax or a very long shirt. Those 5.5 to 6.25-inch rises are now “out of fashion,” declares Diana Tabeshi, the designer behind the new high-end Denim for Immortality. Tabeshi was tired of having to work for what became a too-low rise: “You have to watch where you sit and when you bend down.”

Her label’s compromise? A choice of two rises, 7.5 inches or 8, that are “sexy and sophisticated for today’s woman.” Stores, she reports, are selling out three months’ inventory in three weeks. “That’s telling me something.”

Jeans lowdown: Waistbands are inching up

As I was coming in to work today, I saw a nice little accident where some dude was trying to back into a parking spot and scraped his bumper along the fairly new Subaru next to him.

This is sort of the same thing that happened to Kirsten’s car and I really can’t see any reason to back into a parking spot. It seems to me that there’s always more space to back into the roadway. Of course, you have to worry about a car coming down the road and hitting you, but I’ve seen that accident many fewer times that the “backing into a stationary car” one.

I think my point is also backed by the fact that the Post Office used to forbid delivery drivers from backing up at all. If you were delivering mail and needed to go backwards, you were supposed to drive forwards until there was a safe place to do a u-turn and then drive back.

What do all of you think and how do you normally park?

With the Yanks being eliminated, the rumors of George Steinbrenner firing Joe Torre are (again) buzzing around, and all I can say is that not much would make me happier than if that happens and the Sox pick him up. When we hired Francona I was pleased, but mostly because that meant that Curt would be more likely to sign. Tito’s not a bad manager, and certainly no Grady Little or Larry Bowa, but if the Sox got Torre that would be amazing, as I have the utmost respect for Joe.
