  1. Waist? (Not unlikely for a shorter guy, at 5’8”.)

  3. Yes, one learns the darnedest things here. I didn’t know, for instance, that if you have leukemia or multiple sclerosis, it’s your own damn fault. Same with mental illness. Just stop it. Be best.

  5. He’s a dick. You’re just crazy.
  6. More stupidity from a troll. Suicide, except in compassionate end of life situations, is irrational. Expecting rational decisions from a suicide victim is just about as ignorant as it gets. No wonder you hold that view. You can start here: https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/free-range-psychology/201806/is-suicide-selfish
  7. “I hope they’ll make him look a bit more suave, fix him up, make his tooth look better,” said Levi, a boilermaker... If you are going for it, aim high.
  8. What a cruel post. Parading your moral superiority over those who suffer is, at the very least, unhelpful. Pretending that it is empathy or understanding is delusional.
  9. Thank you for your honesty. I hope others here listen.
  10. Consumption is only part of the reason. US meddling in Latin America for a century toppled social democracies and sustained wealthy oligarchs and corporate control, creating a huge underclass with little mobility. Drug trade and cartels grew up as a way to create wealth and move up, just like any mafia culture.
  11. Anthony Bourdain had been self-medicating his depression for decades — first with cocaine, then heroin, always with liquor. Tragic.
  12. The artists is dead, but I wonder whether his heirs might have recourse under Ted Kennedy's 1990 Visual Artists Rights Act, which made obliterating a mural like this illegal. Here's the text of the act: https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/17/106A
  13. Maybe they’re ordering pizza for a post-coital snack.
  14. I love how she’s lamenting the man who got away while tightly surrounded by a dozen men (the musicians), shown mostly in nighttime shadow, instruments glistening in the dark, and after hours, when the supper club has closed. It’s as if they are circling as her mind is elsewhere, far, far away. The aching, vaguely desperate “last call” quality of the set-up is something Cukor no doubt knew well. The unused outtakes of the scene are quite different, and in them you can see the director working out the right tone. Cukor at his best. Bradley Cooper, who also directed the Gaga version (his directing debut), has a lot to live up to.
  15. Not in the trailer she isn’t. He’s the (dirty) blonde. As for me, I used to be brownette, but I dyed it back to “natural.”
  16. Mrs. Norman Maine is a brownette!!!
  17. "Bicycles on the lawn" was the big giveaway in that Dear Abby classic. Communists, obviously. Happy Birthday! С днем рождения!
  18. $50,000 in 14 months? OMG. That’s more than $100 a day. That’s more than the daily cost of a whole gram of meth, three liters of Ketel One, or 28 Big Macs. Addiction is expensive.
  19. The first recorded recipe for apple pie was written in 1381 in England. Given your wig, you should know that. http://www.todayifoundout.com/index.php/2013/07/apple-pie-isnt-really-american/
  20. Dinuguan is a Filipino stew made of pork meat, mostly offal (heart, liver, intestines), cooked in pig’s blood, vinegar and spices. And it is indeed offal/awful. The one time I tried to eat it, I made spit-up.
  21. Sean is excellent. I was cautious because, in my experience, I have always preferred deep tissue to Swedish, which is his method, but he was a real surprise. It turns out that, despite his name, Sean is Swedish -- born and raised there; being trained in Swedish modalities in the Mother Country is quite different from picking up the colloquial American method, which tends to just mean light strokes, often untrained. He uses long strokes, kneading, stretches and a sequence of other techniques, which always leave me feeling thoroughly relaxed. (I've been a half-dozen times.) Therapeutic, but HE included -- and at around the 45- or 50-minute mark, so that it becomes part of the overall relaxation: The massage continues on for another 10 or 15 minutes.
