Stop the discrimination!

Widespread and unacceptable discrimination" has led to the formation of the American Moustache Institute. Executive director Aaron Perlut, who rocks a Fu Manchu, says: "We view ourselves as the American Civil Liberties Union for the moustache."

Superficial is awesome

My old friend Andrew McConnell, who some of you may remember, tipped me off to a blog called TheSuperficial. I wanted to share this bit of hilarity that I pulled from there...

Nobody likes Victoria Beckham

Victoria Beckham has reportedly pissed off management at the celeb-friendly Chateau Marmont because "she always lets the paparazzi know when she'll be arriving. The Chateau Marmont tries to give celebs their privacy, and they hate her there." Additionally, Britney Spears showed up to the Chateau Marmont last Tuesday to eat, but the only available table was next to Victoria Beckham and Britney didn't want to sit next to her so she stormed off and ate somewhere else. A source tells Gatecrasher:

"Britney Spears turned up at the Chateau and the only table available was the one next to Posh. But Britney didn't want to sit next to her, so she and her friend stormed off to Il Sole instead."

Aww, poor Victoria Beckham. She's like the foreign exchange student who shows up to school and everybody makes fun of. And it's probably not helping that she's acting like an ass. Although it doesn't really take much to piss Britney Spears off. Last week I saw her storm out of Jack In The Box because they refused to deep fry her hamburger and milkshake. She yelled something about them "discriminatin' against the sexy" and then waddled off.

If you have to, call me a Michigander

Well, my dears, I'm off again and this time to the cold and distant north. Ann Arbor, Michigan to be specific. Tubing and sunbathing will be replaced with leaf raking and snow shoveling, sprinkled intermittently with putting chains on my tires.

But, despite all that, I'm looking forward to it and I hope you all come visit!!

I hope I still have days like this left in me

A clip from a man's dairy when he was determined to meet Picasso one day. It's a great example of feeling like and idiot for taking a risk and being glad you did all your life.

We should all be proud of our alma mater

Psychologists at the University of Texas recently conducted a study in which they asked folks why they have sex. They first asked 444 men and women to come up with a list of 237 distinct reaons people have sex. They then compiled their responses into a sex questionnaire that more than 1,500 people ranked by order of importance. Reasons included:

I wanted to feel closer to God
I was drunk
to get rid of a headache
help me fall asleep
make my partner feel powerful
burn calories
I was slumming
return a favor
keep warm
hurt an enemy
change the topic of conversation
It seemed like good exercise
Someone dared me
I wanted to give someone else an STD
my partner was famous or "out of my league"
