I just said that you're pretty. Even when you're covered in...engine grease, you're... No, especially, especially when you're covered in engine grease.

What is even happening?

Whereas, the whole vitamin water concept strikes me vaguely as the liquid version of "Just eat a frelling muffin, whitey!"

Yes. Yes it does. This is how it strikes me, exactly. I wonder if this is a New Englander response.

The CEO of Whole Foods used a sockpuppet for EIGHT YEARS to support his company online:

I'm so enchanted by this idea, that I'm afraid to read Salon and break the spell.

Um, can lower GI stuff manifest in back spasms? Cause there seems to be a time correlation between that and nearly barfing at work when my back inexplicably seized up (and slowly worked down, it was freaky) a la hormonal cramps.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

This is a cool blog idea.

Ha! That's my co-editor Kim.

She does cool Crime Bus tours too.

eta: Oops. I lied. She did the first one like that - 1947.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

Emily, I literally JUST got back from getting my hair cut and colored and I have the same response. I try to look only at my hair in the mirror and ignore my face, since it looks like a lump of dough. A lump of dough with a big nose.

It's amazing. Is there some sort of incompatibility between good-hair lighting and good-skin lighting?

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

maybe salons put in unflattering lighting that makes your skin look bad so your hair will look that much better

Oh, you know, I meant to say -- I'm the most hideous person ever when in the process of getting a hair cut. Especially when the person next to me is some kind of rock star or some shit. The sign of a good cut, to me, is when I feel awesome on the way out instead of just OK.

Now tagless for your comfort.

They don't have mary janes, though, Tom, and that's what I'm jonesing for. Girly, yet skullsmashing.

You know...like me.

Steel toe Mary Janes say, "I enjoy being a girl...and being able to kick your ass."

Sadly, my big-ass feet would never fit those, either.
