Sad observation about my life: my first thought on reading this was about those embedded quote marks-- should it be
"...so many 'o's' in my 'so's'"
?
Forgive me; I've been correcting proofs. Did you know Springer's copy correction center is in India?
More sadly, I had changed it even before you commented.
You could call it FLogged.
(Has that joke really not been made before here? It seems impossible.)
It has been made before; I remember kicking myself for not thinking of it.
6: Blast. This means that sometime in the last year or so, I've failed to read a comment. I must procrastinate harder.
But would you find Elizabeth Shue still hot in The Karate Kid? Or is she dead to you altogether?
Also, Adventures in Babysitting is an awesome film.
Yeah, Elizabeth Shue was teh hot in that movie. Harvard chicks rule.
Ogged, I'll trade you three blondes for your one of your dark-eyed cousins. They're cheap and plentiful around here.
The poor guys at GNXP are infested with blond-obsession. I razz them evey chance I get.
13 refers to LLV, not TKK. Although at the time, she certainly appealled to me in the role of Ali Mills, her work as "Sera with an E" was teh hot.
You know, that whole Alek/sey Vay/ner thing was just a viral campaign for Adidas.
At 43 Shue still looks pretty NSFW.
She looks a lot like that girl on 'The Hills.'
I don't know who that dog is, but he's not her husband.
Shue was and remains the gold standard of the Girl Next Door. Of course she's still sooo hot.
21: I was always more of an Ione Skye/Phobe Cates kind of a guy, honestly. Also I think you'd get some serious pushback from Jennifer Grey partisans, which, hey, don't ask me, those people are crazy.
22 comments and still no correction of the spelling of her name?! Goodness.
Fine. "Phoebe." Also, "Elisabeth." Also, "Augged."
No, NCP mentioned that the spelling of Sera.
I assumed, wrongly, that 20 was a joke.
That picture is killing me. The wholesome! It burns!
You have the power to push it farther down the main page.
Why that particular look—color with boy, not b/w with dog—is considered wholesome has always escaped me. I know that it is, I just don't get it.
At 43 Shue still looks pretty NSFW.
She looks better.
32: Using free beach internet to look at naked pictures of Elisabeth Shue? Lucky bastard.
I think the picture with the dog is pretty old, so not her at 43.
Still looks great, though she also looks like she's had some work done.
I just love America. [Oh, fine, probably vaguely NSFW, but it's Friday night, people!]
I'm sure that it's not the feature that most people notice, but I really like the point of her nose. I have a more buttoned nose and am jealous of people who have what I think of as more distinguished noses.
All of the men on my father's side have these big huge noses, and I feel really lucky not to have inherited the family nose.
38: He said America, not Delaware and Missouri.
Hey, what are you saying about Missouri?!
41: Nice. I was hoping that would happen.
Obviously, I was being facetious; could I ever honestly insult the city that's home to Arthur Bryant's BBQ?
Didn't think there were any other Missourians around, so I figured I'd have to be the one to take the bait. 'fraid I don't know much about that other side of the state, though.
I've driven through it. It's made entirely out of used styrofoam wrappers.
What does one wrap styrofoam in?
Sad observation about my life: my first thought on reading this was...
My first thought upon reading this was that Ogged did the women's clinic post below just so he could turn around and do another "white women I have fantasized about" post.
I was born in Missouri. Or Kansas.
How does it happen you're unsure? I went to preschool in Saint Louis.
We lived in Kansas City in one state and I was born in a hospital in the other, and I've never been sure which, because I was really young then and not in a position to notice.
Can I just inject briefly that you guys are awfully damned nice to not have pointed out that I apparently called Missouri a "city?"
Also, w-lfs-n, you were born in Missouri. They don't cotton to "hospitals" in Kansas.
I just assumed you meant that by insulting Missouri you'd automatically be insulting all the cities in it, too.
52: Again, for that I thank you.
Branson I would never insult, even in jest.
Props to any city that gets its own Simpsons episode.
I refuse to give props to Knoxville.
Then your props will be forcibly relocated.
42: Sifu, props indeed to Bryant's, God's own barbecue. If you're going to be passing this way any time soon, let me know and I'll take you to some of the other smoked meat meccas here, including Jack Stack, Rosedale and Winslow's. Damnit, now I'm hungry again.
48: Ben, were you told you were born in St. Luke's by any chance?
57: I regurgitate Calvin Trillin. If I am actually in that town, by gum, I will take your tour guidance as gospel.
Wow, this is a surprising density of Missouri people. St. Louis!
Everytime I watch The Karate Kid, I just feel gross for fantasizing about Mr. Miyagi and subjecting him to my gaze. I mean, I think if Pat Morita was in a film now, it would be something really awesome like Smokin' Aces, and I would still find him hot. But he wouldn't have the youthful, earnest, almost bashful charm of the Miyagi character.
"Bonzai," he says to me, wistfully, in my dreams. Bonzai, I want to answer -- but our love is just a housefly, crushed between the chopsticks of the Real.
Well, I haven't actually lived in MO for about eight years now, but I was there the first 22. Living on the east coast, I probably feel the need to stand up for the place and to claim identity as a Missourian more than I would if I were still there.
I was born at Saint Mary's in KC, but moved to South Dakota before I turned 1. (Do you know how hard it is to rent a truck as an infant?)
Also, surfing unfogged on the cabana in Puerto Rico, looking out as the sun on the palm trees, is also quite nice. Too bad I only spent about 45 minutes outside the 5 days I've been here (stupid work).
I regurgitate Calvin Trillin
A strange way of showing your affection. I had lunch with Trillin one time, which I found kind of exciting at the time but do not really remember at about 7 years' remove.
62 -- you ought to meet my friend Nathaniel, who lives on the east coast and feels a similar need to stand up for the place and to claim identity as a Missourian (and as a Saint Louigian).
My favourite dreams are usually action/adventure, but one, in which I got to ride a motorcycle, turned nightmarish when I realized that my part was being played by Scott Baio.
65- I could teach him the secret 'midwest!' hand signal a fellow ex-Missourian once made up for east coast midwesterners to flash at each other.
Is it three fingers pointed down on the right hand and three fingers pointed up on the left?
That would be an acceptable variation. Her original one used only one hand, the three fingers pointed down followed by the three fingers pointed up.
68, 69: Awesome. Next meetup, Blume, I'm totally flashing you some signs.
Oh... Just now I figured why that sign would signify the desired meaning.
