Yes. Is this a test?

I liked the Truman pictures.

Are you saying that Michelle Shocked is Bill Clinton? Huh. They totally fooled me.

No, it's the standard response when Ogged posts something like this.

Yes, I've been setting the standard for quite some time now.

You people are vicious. I said it was new to me. I apologize for wasting the seven seconds it took you to read the post; twenty if you clicked through. My very bad.

I'm sorry, Ogged. Did I hurt your feelings?

So, what finally happened to the flight attendants? Did they get a lot of money? Are they traumatized for life? I can't find resolution on Google. Ric Flair seems to be a good choice for SecState otherwise.

I hadn't seen it. But I think the main reason Clinton looks so natural as drag queen is that they seemed to photoshop him onto older women, so there wasn't as big a break between the face and the neck. The Truman pics are also great!

Of course, if Rudy wins, these photoshoppers need not bother.

9: Flair? I donno. While he's brokered some notable accords in his time, I have concerns about their staying power. It'd be a shame to see the next round of mideast peace talks get off to a great start, then unexpectedly end with Ehud Olmert rolling around on the mat after a vicious low-blow.

I haven't taken the time to search through them all, I wouldn't want to waste my time on something so obviously played, but surely someone posted Bill's face onto Monica's body?

Actually, I think that clues for the sex of the person are found all over the face. I remember seeing a magazine ad that just included the top half of some faces (cut off around the nose), and the sex was easily identifiable. I think both forehead and cheekbone prominence are involved.

You guys shouldn't be so mean to ogged. Maybe the Michelle Shocked mockery was justified, but this is just some random kewl l1nkz that anyone might have had opportunities to see before, and then clicked past.

Also, I bet you'll never guess which site I just commented on w/r/t Lacan and the mirror stage.

Eh, faces can be deceiving. I think it's easier just to look at a person's naked crotch.

I like when they photoshop the faces of famous world leaders onto people's naked crotches.

Queen Bill looks a lot like my grandmother. Who was supposedly quite a beauty in her day.

Indeed. Five seconds of looking and my only thought was "maybe these would look less ridiculous if they used bodies that were the same age as the faces."

But then, we all know that all women are between the ages of fifteen and a young-looking thirty-five, after which they become invisible.

Also, I think Ronald Reagan actually makes a more convincing woman than Bill.

re: this, I once heard someone propose that the CIA should use only middle-aged women as spies because of their ability to disappear from sight.

'course, the last two of the past three heads of MI5 have in fact been middle-aged women.

To pull off the joke, the emphasis in the title must be true to the reference: "I Am Your Mother".
