Gud's link makes me want to barf.
Yeah, I've seen this one before. It's cool.
What's kinda freaky is that it does not work at all on my bad eye, despite the fact that vision in that eye has improved enough where I can actually see the image.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Now tagless for your comfort.
The google link at the top of my gmail says, "Free Baby Samples". Huh. I think I'm a little past the sampling stage.

What is even happening?
Moppety responded to one of my comments in her lj, today. When I got the email notification in gmail, all the gmail ads included on the side were lice-remedy links. As near as I can tell, this is because moppety mentioned something about having something "in her head." I nearly choked.

You've made my head itch from a thousand miles away.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"
Last year or so, somebody here shared a link to an article (was is Slate or Salon?) about a woman who worked long overtime hours as a high paid hair colorist (a salon speciality) in order to afford ultra-expensive couture clothes. Does anyone remember this and can link me up again?

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
Huh. The Yahoo!News page linked to an article about thesmokinggun.com's just-posted investigation of memoirist James Frey, which I'd just a few minutes ago found from a link on Salon.com.
Fraudulent writers are weirdly fascinating: all that time and energy invested in the persona, the invented past, propping it all up. Or cheerfully playing with it (like JT Leroy) or stubbornly withholding any information at all aside from the words themselves (like blinvisible playwright Jane Martin, who may be Jane Martin but also may be a man, a husband-and-wife writing team, or a collective). And the journalists and researchers who can cause such terrible harm -- and again with the huge amounts of time and energy, along with high visibility and the high likelihood of getting caught and of really awful consequences.
Compared to someone like the Korean cloning researcher whose lab research and thousands of pages of findings have fallen in like a house of cards over the last few weeks, Frey is terribly small potatoes. But, still, weirdly mesmerizing (to me, anyhow).

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

It's a man, baby! (I'm totally convinced it is, and as such, rant every time Martin is included in women playwright anthologies.)

I remember it, but want to say it was a New York Times article. Alas that I am not your Nilly, Theo.

Now I'm imagining a country song,
I'm sorry, honey, I just can't be your Nilly
You'll just have to find that stuff on your own

What tipped you over? I'm in the vague and fuzzy probably-a-man-but-not-totally-convinced camp, with one foot in possibly-a-collective.
Also, seriously impressed at the ability of the person or persons behind Martin's persona to maintain total blinvisibility for so long.
