People get fascinatingly uncomfortable with plastic surgery talk on famous people; they'll believe they're screwing elephants in backroom lots according to blind items, but there's always a lot of pushback on the procedures. Somehow it makes people feel tawdry to suggest it despite its obvious ubiquity, like it's a major moral failing of theirs and thus before being damned they should be given the benefit of the doubt.

They really do ALL do it. 90%, at least. Hollywood has always been like this... You can see it even in old movie stars, like Gene Kelly. (His really early movies? Different nose. It's startling.)

She's had a lot done. Tasteful, expensive, but a lot.

Oh, the Krrish numbering confusion! They're currently making Krrish 2, which the Indian press often calls Krrish *3* because they're randomly counting "Koi Mil Gaya" as Krrish 1.

There is, however, only one sequel in the works, to be released at the earliest later this year.

This was many years ago (And before this particular stripe was purged of these places?), but when I went to Bangkok and was hanging around the club/party district the pimps were astoundingly aggressive. A couple of them tried to bodily drag us into their strip clubs, where I read afterwards they don't let you leave until you put down lots of money. The mega club we ended up at had many old-white-man-young-Thai-women combos, and some of the sharky men on the edges were frightening.

So I'm putting money on your guess 'A' - sex tourism is so lucrative there, so the chance of a scamming pimp is pretty high!

Jeremy Renner; the rumors have been out and about for a while.
Other than a base premise, Hunger Games and Battle Royale aren't even faintly alike in plot, theme, and how they unfold. The gore and violence of Battle Royale is part of the point - it is not in Hunger Games.

Have you read Hunger Games? And if so, can you tell me where you see the equivalency? (Honest, not snarky question)

Yeah. I was breaking into my chocolate stash for the second time today, you know, just a *bit* more...

Then I saw that image.

*Closes drawer. Sighs. Thinks about what exercise she should do that night.*

I am promoting this because I like you.

(And I also agree.)

Oh man I would hit that up so hard. You should make it happen! (Downside: Readers may be slow drinkers.)
As that (often offensive, always hilarious) prophet of modern relationships Dan Savage says, if you start to see a pattern in your bad relationshp situations, you need to take a look at the one absolute constant factor.

I'm with redqueenar on the OkCupid issue; I've had it happen in person also, but there are so many dudes on that site who start out with insults. A swift text stabbing is often necessary.

Pro-tip, yes!

What I love most about negging is that the same guys who do that are inevitably those that say at some point in a conversation that "my last girlfriend/my last 20 girlfriends were crazy".

Which, duh. If you're going to to rope a woman by making her feel unsure and off-balance, you're not going to get the most stable of ladies.

Yes, I would say it's a joke.

Cologne Question: I have talked to men longer because they smelled nice, indeed. A classy, manly cologne is awfully nice. I have also come close to shrieking and running across the room because of too much Axe(or like stink).

Oh, I agree with that, trust!
HBO just took the suggested homosexuality of Renly and made it YES Here he and Loras Are they Be Togethers! in a scene. Didn't take anything away/add anything to the story except for naked men flesh in a very HBO style. *shrug* Wasn't bad, wasn't memorable.
EXCELLENT. (On the American Idol recaps.) I will watch that hellhole of a show to read your 'caps.

Or maybe just read your recaps and be glad I'm not watching the show. That's what I usually do.

I like your work on Atlantic a great deal - EVEN THE COMMUNITY FAN BAITING (gives you side-eye) - but do wish the commenters were less butt-faced over there. Man, there are some grumpy-guses who wouldn't know humor if it slammed them with a Vespa. Tiresome.

(And it makes me happy to hear you don't feel restrained! Good good.)

Oh thank god.

Although that is terrifying. (Obviously, I need to familiarize myself with the Kardashians so I can loathe them with more knowledge, per Brian's list.)

Is that... Frank Gifford?

Tell me that isn't Frank Gifford.

I like your mom! Send her over for drinks.

Edit: Oh, Wow, that really was meant to be just fun, and then I saw what I did there. *hides under paper hat*

Very interestin'! I will keep an eye out. Perhaps global internet phrase cross-pollination is to blame.
I think that's a common Indian phrase, actually? I deal with job applications for my company's India subsidiary, and it's used more often than not in cover letters. I've not seen (or not noticed) it used by a native speaker.
Does your reaction come with a prayer breakdown in the middle? If so, I'd rather see you react than this anime.

(That there's a classic, it is.)
