"JOHANSSON JUST MISSES CAR BUST-UP

Screen siren Scarlett Johansson was so shocked when she first caught sight of her digitally enlarged bust on a billboard advertisement for new movie "The Island," she almost crashed her car.

The acclaimed actress is not alone in being wowed by her super size cleavage -- hundreds of cars have slowed down as they passed the giant Los Angeles poster to get a better look.

The 20-year-old says, "I was driving through Los Angeles and I look up and see the biggest photo of me I have ever seen in my life on a massive ad space. I screamed and slammed on the brakes. I couldn't believe it.

"It's very strange to see my cleavage the size of a brontosaurus. My breasts were huge. I had long hair and my goodness I couldn't get past the cleavage.

"I was like, 'Look at me. They wiped out my whole face. Oh, that's not my face. That's my cleavage.' My cleavage was just huge."

Also, will you please pack me in your bags so I too can go to the Galapagos?

Sure, as long as you protect me from my mother.

I was able to leave early, but then I had to come back, and now I am waiting for someone to call me.

Feh.

Allyson has lizard issues. Or bathroom issues.

ita has cat issues. As in, CURIOSITY WILL KILL IT, damnit.

Sure, as long as you protect me from my mother.

okay. it's a deal.

So....officemate is being laid off monday, it looks like. Going to talk to his other friends, but was thinking: margarita mix, tequila, a margarita glass, tackytacky sunglasses and a hat. Maybe a curly straw. As a goofy gift. I might even add a lawn chair. Sound reasonable?

(this is the guy who bets on how long it will take me to destroy a stress ball)

We also hope to do lunch the day of the deed.

Sigh.

Goofy + booze sounds good to me, sara.

does he not know?

No, he knows. For about 3 weeks now. Everybody under that contract was told that "their positions were in jeopardy" which is the under-the-legal-speak way of giving them more than the mandated 2 days. He's been out going on interviews the past couple of days, so that's good.

Gonna miss him.

eta: Technically, I do not know. Even though I'm going on vacation shortly thereafter, my managers haven't even MENTIONED coverage for me. So as far as I'm concerned, they are SOL. Complaints? Go to the management,

margarita mix, tequila, a margarita glass, tackytacky sunglasses and a hat. Maybe a curly straw. As a goofy gift. I might even add a lawn chair.

Turns out working late drastically cut my commute home. Hmmm...

eta: The Irish and Indian accents all sound very mild to me, but the Arkansas accents are excellent examples of what I hear every day.
