Anybody remember that shampoo made with beer?

Cynthia Sylvia Stout from Lush? Love it.

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

Cool! But I was thinking of some shampoo that was advertised on TV back in the '70s.

The commercials kept saying, "Made with real beer - but don't drink it!" They had to repeat the "don't drink it" message several times in the commercial.

OK, what is the best fictional beer ever? I gotta go with Skittlebrau (from The Simpsons).

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I'm pretty sure Heloise recommends setting your hair with beer. I will try that the next time I set my hair. (I.e., never.)

I have literally no work to do. I should have slept later.

Could you do a little sleeping for me, Jesse?

Wouldn't that be great, if you could occasionally outsource bodily functions and stuff? Like, "I'm really busy here - could you go pee for me, please?"

Now it's too late! I'm awake now.

And yes -- that would be genius.

Oh, my god, dude, NO, we are not changing all of the italics in your documents by .5pt. NO.

A long New Yorker article about the legal battle to overturn Proposition 8, which could end up in the Supreme Court: A Risky Proposal

I haven't read it, but Sullivan highlights this bit:

[O]ne of the arguments that the anti-gay-marriage side has increasingly turned to outside the courtroom is that allowing same-sex marriage would hurt heterosexual marriage. At the pretrial hearing, Judge Walker kept asking Charles Cooper, the lawyer defending Proposition 8, how exactly it did so. “I’m asking you to tell me,” he said at last, “how it would harm opposite-sex marriages.”

“All right,” Cooper said.

“All right,” Walker said. “Let’s play on the same playing field for once.”

There was a pause—it seemed like a long one to people in the courtroom, though it was probably only a few seconds. And Cooper said, “Your Honor, my answer is: I don’t know. I don’t know.”

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

What about that beer on the Drew Carey show that was caffeinated so you didn't get sleepy and could keep drinking?
