Attention various infidels

By ad hoc (Fri Jan 20, 2006 at 03:37:06 PM EST) (all tags)

Have a super swell weekend.

Attention Boston Infidels. Anyone interested in going? Monday at the Middle East in Central Square. The Toasters and Go Jimmy Go.

Had my quarterly doctor's appointment this morning. Nothing to report. Except they're doing some sort research project about anti-biotic resistant staph and they were asking everyone to get swabbed. So I did. Nostrils and bum. I got a $5.00 Starbucks card in payment.

On the way home, I stopped at an LBS I don't like (but stopped there because it's on the way) to get a cable stop. It seems that when the brake cable snapped, the cable stop went flying, so I couldn't restring the brake last night. It took a while, but they eventually found one that would fit. They wanted $1.50 for it! For a cable stop! But he didn't want to make change, so he took a dollar bill and whatever change I had, which, I think, was about 11 cents. That's one of the reasons I don't particularly like t place. They're really high pressure salescritters and the always overcharge. They had some lights that I was interested in, but they were charging $12. The MSRP was $7.99. But, now I can fix my brake.

I stopped at got a muffin after lunch, but I didn't go to my usual place. I went here instead. Friggin $2.10 for a blueberry muffin! I'm in the wrong business.

Then I saw Virgin was having another DVD sale: $10 each. The following are now part of my collection.
Forbidden Planet
North by Northwest
Animal House
Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone
Matrix Reloaded
Shaun of the Dead

Harry and Matrix I got just to finish the set.

It was such a nice day, I got a sandwich and ate in the park.

And, in case you didn't know, the number one news story in all of the whole wide world is "Theo's back".

Attention heterosexual male infidels: I suppose everyone has seen the new photo of Marla Streb from OUTSIDE Magazine? Since, in some ultra prudish parts of the world, it might be considered NSFW, here it is. World champion mountain biker, US Downhill champion, and cytogeneticist.

Person whose 15 minutes of fame is now up: Bode Miller. Time, Newsweek, Outside. And that's just this week. Curiously, he's not on any ski magazines.

there should be more of this type of imagery by cam (4.00 / 1) #4 Fri Jan 20, 2006 at 04:00:16 PM EST

That isn't in the slightest pormographic, but it is highly sexual. That shows a powerful woman with all the dignified physical grace a human can muster. We shouldn't need to have these pics cropped so they hide a nipple or whatever. They should be unapologetic displays of power, sexuality and self_confidence. Stoopid puritan retard conservatives.

Playboy did some photos of some athletes before the 04 olympics, you can find them around. They were pretty good. The women all had bodies like this.

: Not necessarily athletes by cam (4.00 / 1) #16 Fri Jan 20, 2006 at 09:39:48 PM EST

we have all had times in our lives when we have looked good, been pumped with self-confidence and positvely glowed. It is a shame we dont capture ourselves in art or photography in that state more often - especially not as we are worried of showing a nipple or a testicle.

I don't find it sexual by debacle (4.00 / 2) #22 Sun Jan 22, 2006 at 05:11:29 PM EST

It might just be the lighting or whatever, but it's just a naked chick riding a bike.

naked != sexual

I think we need to teach kids this from an early age.

I Know It Is Old by Christopher Robin was Murdered (4.00 / 2) #9 Fri Jan 20, 2006 at 04:19:46 PM EST

The plot is full of holes, many of the special effects are no longer quite so special (though many of the matte-painting shots will give anything in a current sci-fi CGI-fest a run for the money), and I can not watch Leslie Nielsen without thinking he's actually doing the ultra-serious doctor role from "Airplane" - but I honestly love "Forbidden Planet."

Recognize the dramatic power of such lines as: "My evil self is at the door, and I have no power to stop it."
And: "Alta, about a million years from now the human race will have crawled up to where the Krell stood in their great moment of triumph and tragedy. And your father's name will shine again like a beacon in the galaxy. It's true, it will remind us that we are, after all, not God."
That sh*t will knock the groundlings ass over tea kettle, man. That's drama.

Well, by blixco (4.00 / 1) #20 Sat Jan 21, 2006 at 12:03:05 PM EST

to be fair, it is a nice photo. I mean, technically. But the subject?

I'm a huge fan of short chicks with hips.

The subject of that photo is sort of the antithesis of that. And though I'm sure she's a nice person, she just happens to look a lot like a man with fake boobs.

Now, had I been raised in a world where women with gigantic muscles weren't freaks of culture, I'm sure I'd sing a different tune.

Women by me0w (4.00 / 2) #21 Sat Jan 21, 2006 at 04:58:18 PM EST

I like tall women with curves and they can't have ribs that poke out. Nothing is more disgusting than being able to count every bone. I like women that look like women.

And they have to have a shaved snapper. Nothing is worse than getting a hair caught in the back of your throat.
