Thanks, sarameg.

I actualy had to quit swimming lessons because I couldn;t dive. The nice young man passed me in advanced beginner and very patiently tried to teach me to go head first, but there was no way I was jumping of a high toer thing, so I never went back, as I would have been stuck in intermediate until I could do it Which is the swimming equivilent of the oh so PC "There is no Three Stikes, You're out, because being out makes bad athletes feel bad. Instead you must swing at the ball and hold up the game for 45 years so you are not OUT!" theory.

Yes, I used to have to keep swinging forever!

Also, I view Steve Tyler as coming in on the late end of the David Bowie and Mick Jagger hotness, in sort of the same category

Who doesn't have a thing for non-blond Colin Farrell?

t stands in the corner with Sophia and JenP Seriously, y'all, it's the eyebrows. They're aggressive and scary. I'm afraid they're going to take on a life of their own, crawl off his face, and take over the world.

I can't stand Scotch, or whisky...just about any brown liquor, except for dark rum.

I can do some whiskey. I like Seagram's 7, for example (prefer it mixed with something, but I can drink it on the rocks) but not Jack Daniels. I don't care for rum at all.

I don't love Guniness either. My Celtic ancestors mock me.

Neither do I. But I don't really like anything bitter. A different friend from the scotch drinker bought me a carbomb while we were out on my birthday and my reaction was utter revulsion. I don't know if he was offended or not, but I'm beginning to think that after awhile people are going to stop buying me drinks.

but no where near as skanky as Dave Navarro, who I think is the ultimate in skank

I find him oddly compelling. I think I might even like him if I were to meet him.

ETA: Wonder if Steph will run screaming from my corner now.

By the way, I saw the write up about you in In Style. Congratulations, that was totally awesome.

Thanks, darling! I'm pretty fucking hot stuff....'cept that wasn't me, it was erinaceous.

But we both have funky glasses and a deep need to define words.

They're aggressive and scary. I'm afraid they're going to take on a life of their own,

Yes! The EYEBROWS. Although, I really have no problem with Peter Gallagher's eyebrows. If I didn't know Erin was "my age" I would think it was me being and old fart!

I really have no problem with Peter Gallagher's eyebrows.

Me, either. I think Colin Farrell's cross the line in some undefinable way.

Sophia, it was the diving test that dqed me for lifeguarding. Rightfully so, but.... Stupid instructor. That would have been a nice gig in high school and college.

Erinaceous was in InStyle!?! Or is this a buffista joke that I missed by skiming and skipping. But if so, which month, because I read InStyle and I missed it!
