overpriced styling products made corduroy licorice's hair stand on end.

the subtle, yet insistent pulse of "bolero" lambada'd its way through the fast food mexican restaurant's sound system today at lunchtime. as i watched the smiling counter attendants handle the foil-wrapped burritos, i got a bit hot under the collar. the intertwining of the suggestive music and the silver phallic goodness i was about to partake in was a bit too lust-inducing for a work day afternoon.

do you netanyahu?

sound bite of the day from an israeli official commenting on the risk posed by the palestinians who are holed up in the church of the nativity in bethlehem:

"these are not swedish girl scouts."

thank goodness. the nuns and priests being held hostage might otherwise be gorging themselves on tins full of butter cookies.

do you blue lanugo?

i found this righteous site via the king of web hook-ups, mister pants.

here's how it works. it's a community project where people post random text and/or photos.

you can find a photo online to illustrate someone else's text, you can submit text for someone else to do a photo hunt for, or you can submit a matching text and photo set.

this is the coolest darn thing i've done online for a long time. i can't figure out if it's more fun to find photos to match someone else's words or to see what image my text inspired. they're both super fun!!!! wheee!!! it's like crack cocaine for those with excessive creative juices. plus, the photo/text combos people come up with are �muy hilarioso!
