All of those guys learned to sing and play guitar because as a teenager, they figured out that absolutely nothing gets women out of their pants faster. It's the same reason all of the actors got into acting.

I don't know what actors David Wong has been hanging around, but based on the theatre folk I've been around in high school, college, and the community theatre scene, I don't think sleeping with women factored into many of the guys' decisions to take up acting.

Enh. I went to school with a lot of panty-hound male actors, so I don't think it's exactly a rare thing, even though I doubt many people would bother going through all that agita just for sex.

Well, I want to doubt, anyway.

Congrats, sj!

But if the female wacky sidekick isn't attractive, like the overweight Melissa McCarthy in Bridesmaids, then every scene needs to be about how ugly and fat and mannish she is. That has to be the core of her character.

He's got a point about female sidekicks in general, but Bridesmaids was not created by or for men, and Melissa McCarthy's character is a pointed commentary on the type of fat sidekick character he's talking about. She is all of those things - ugly, fat, mannish - but if this guy thinks that's the core of her character, he clearly hasn't seen the movie.

Go look at a city skyline. All those skyscrapers? We built those to impress you, too.

Right. The fact that Manhattan was built up instead of out has nothing to do with the fact that it's a port city on a tiny island made of schist.

So, potato pancakes.

Sour cream or applesauce?

I'm eating them right now with applesauce AIFG!

tommyrot, clearly the answer is both!

Sour cream all the way.

Sour cream.

Both.

It's the latest trend! Two Florida teens said so!

I had rummy bears at a party last year. Wicked good. After a few drinks, natch.

Cinnamon sugar.
