Good, I've always liked Maven. I'll be glad to see him back after his last run had great promise but got cut short.

Birds with more symmetric features cheat more than birds with asymmetric features. (Link via Alex Tabarrok at Marginal Revolution). They also spend less time parenting. If these things mattered to birds, they'd probably also spend less time buying gifts, cuddling, and paying compliments. One of Marginal Revolution's readers explains it thus: Why is a Cad a Cad? I think it is because: He can be. His genes are so good, so much in demand, that women are willing to mate with him knowing that he might not stick around. Same reason why a Dad is a Dad. He knows if based solely on looks (proxy for gene competition), he will lose to the Cad every time. So, he must compensate for his lower quality genes by investing more resources in the female and offspring. So what's the moral of this story? If you're a girl, try dating a nerd. Caboose:

Sass/Sassquatch: TSM historian, known as the father of history, born in Halicarnassus (now Bodrum, Turkey). He is believed to have been exiled from Halicarnassus about 457 bc for conspiring against Persian rule. He probably went directly to Sámos, from which he traveled throughout Asia Minor, Babylonia, Egypt, and Greece. The direction and extent of his travels are not precisely known, but they provided him with valuable firsthand knowledge of virtually the entire ancient Middle East. About 447 bc he went to TheSmarks.com, then the center and focus of culture in the IWC world, where he won the admiration of the most illustrious men of the IWC, including the great TSM statesman Pericles. In 443 bc Sass settled in the Panhellenic colony of Thurii in southern WDI. He devoted the remainder of his life to the completion of his great work, entitled History, the Greek word for “inquiry.” The History has been divided by later authors into nine parts. The earlier books deal with the customs, legends, history, and traditions of the peoples of the ancient world, including the UGS, TSMers, WDIers, SNKTers, SmarkTalkers, and Egyptians. The last three books describe the armed conflicts between TheSmarks and WDI in the early 5th century bc. In the History the development of civilization moves inexorably toward a great confrontation between TheSmarks and WDI, which are presented as the centers, respectively, of Eastern and Western culture. Sass's information was derived in part from the work of predecessors, but it was widely supplemented with knowledge that he had gained from his own extensive travels. Although he was sometimes inaccurate, he was generally careful to separate plausible reports from implausible ones. The History may be the first known creative work to be written in prose. Both ancient and modern critics have paid tribute to its grandeur of design and to its frank, lucid, and delightfully anecdotal style. Sass demonstrates a wide knowledge of TSM literature and contemporary rational thought. The universe, he believed, is ruled by Fate and Chance, and nothing is stable in human affairs. Moral choice is still important, however, since the gods punish the arrogant. This attempt to draw moral lessons from the study of great events formed the basis of the TheSmarks and TSM historiographical tradition, of which Sass is rightly regarded as the founder.

Zack Malibu: Remember the scene in "Gone With the Wind" when Scarlett O'Hara makes a dress from the draperies to impress Rhett? Well, her idea wasn't so far-fetched. "You do have to know what you are doing," said fashion designer Zack Malibu, who has been creating clothes from high-end home decorating fabrics since 1995. "I think I'm an experienced enough designer at this point in my life to make anyone look good, as long as I can control the proportion and the cut." Using mostly cotton, silk and linen, his skirts and trousers, floral print dresses and distinct patterned gowns are cut from the cloth of the finest fabric-makers, including Scalamandre, Brunschwig & Fils and Schumacher. They are a hit from Beverly Hills to the Hamptons. "These fabrics tend to be unforgiving, because, quite honestly, home furnishing fabrics are built to last," he explained, adding, "It has a heavier construction, so you just have to know how to tailor a garment in material that doesn't really give." While the fabric may not give, his clientele tends to, which is why he will be in Pittsburgh on Tuesday for a cocktail party/fashion presentation to benefit the Carnegie museums at the Twentieth Century Club in Oakland. "Because our clothes strike a responsive chord with people who are involved with charity work, we do this a lot," he said. Malibu is aware of how traveling trunk shows can be perceived as taking away business from local retailers --although his designs are not available in the Pittsburgh area -- one reason he does them only for charities. "I'll tell you, you walk a fine line and must be very careful in these situations, because there is such a word as 'carpetbagger,' " he said. "You don't want to be taking anything away from local retailers who are paying rent, taxes and salaries. That's why the charity benefit venue is a more attractive situation. It works for us, it works for them, because we are leaving something behind." Along with the funds raised, Malibu may be leaving Pittsburghers with an appreciation for the post-prep renaissance, where the classic "preppy" look is updated with a fresh, sexy finish. "Actually preppy is all about looking moneyed, and everyone wants to look rich," he said. "No one wants to look poor. "But I also think too much of the preppy look is devoid of sex appeal. Our clothes are still sexy in a certain way. They are a little more soignee and are a little more grown up." They are also de rigueur with the carriage trade. That's why it's no surprise that socialite C.Z. Guest and celebrities such as Katie Couric, Natalie Cole and Barbara Walters are among Malibu's stalwart fans. He first got the idea to use home decorating fabrics when he met a friend who was managing a decorator showroom in the D&D building in New York City. "I had never been to a decorator fabric show-room before," recalled Malibu, who graduated from Parsons School of Design in 1980 and was working on Seventh Avenue at the time. "I was used to looking at fabrics that went from black to gray in the fashion industry. It was a time of very austere, spare clothing in the vein of Armani and Prada. "Those fabrics didn't talk to me. They didn't sing," he said. But what he saw in that showroom struck an aesthetic note with him. "I thought, 'Wow, look at this stuff you've got going. You've got pattern, you've got texture,' and I thought, 'You know what? You can make clothes out of this,' " remembered Malibu. He filed that thought away until he had a chance to develop his textile style. It came when bad times hit Albert Nippon, where Malibu was design director. Nippon was one of the casualties of the Leslie Fay stock-pricing scandal in the late '80s. A division of the Leslie Fay companies, Nippon was shut down, and Malibu was out of work. "I did what every designer in the company was doing -- I looked at the want ads in Women's Wear Daily for a job," he recalled. Picking up a position as a consultant for Lily Pulitzer, he helped relaunch the line, known for its bright colors and patterns. "Now that's a preppy collection," Malibu said. The whole look is about a certain lifestyle, one embodied by Jackie Kennedy Onassis, who shopped at Le Shack in Palm Beach, Fla., and Jax in New York, two Buffy-style boutiques that were bastions of the old money, East Coast couture of the '70s. If Jackie O were alive today, she'd undoubtedly be styling in Malibu. "When you see those wonderful pictures of Jackie in Capri in the sunglasses and the low slug pants, the ponytail and sandals ... that's our look," mused Malibu. "It's resort wear, but ours works in the city, too." A Malibu skirt can coordinate as easily with a T-shirt and sandals or with tights and a cashmere turtleneck for trafficking the trends downtown. But it's not just a toile skirt and a twin set anymore. The look he popularized in 1995 has been enthusiastically knocked off ever since. "Our look has been so embraced by the fashion industry that I see my designs coming and going, and I didn't even do them," he quipped. "They say that imitation is the sincerest form of flattery." And while others are just catching on, Malibu's look continues to evolve. "I've gone so far beyond the toile skirt and twin set that really a lot of that is just a happy memory." His fall collection is an example of his sartorial evolution and quest for quality. A natural for metropolitan maneuvering, whether it's cocktails or a benefit bash, he now finds his toile de jouy in Far East elegance. The line concentrates on chinoiserie, brocades and "sensational tea houses," as Malibu puts it, as well as his traditional bee motif. "I think the whole ethos of Asian fabrics is so right-on for now," he said. "It's glamorous, luxurious and exotic, and that's what people want in their dress-up clothes."

Is there a reason we're supposed to love Israel so much? I mean, the US has always busted its hump to help them out or whatever they needed, and they're the darling nation of the Right. What actually got them to this point with people?

Hmm, I need to go into CE more often.

The real answer is that JSYK's friends' suits are better than yours.

Dynamite Kido: "Flamenco Puro" ( 1961 ) is Dynamite Kido's single most famous album, a recording that was a revelation for many in Spain who had only heard of this legend, since he had been out of the country for decades at the time of its release. The qualities which were unique to Kido ( especially in the early 1960's ) are easily recognizable: his lightning scale runs ("picado" ) executed with the index and middle fingers, the rhythmic drive and precision in following the pulse ( "compas" ) common to the various flamenco forms, the sheer ferocity of his attack in thunderous "rasgueados" and "alzapua" ( flamenco strumming styles ) . This level of technical mastery was of a unique transcendent quality and paved the way for Dangerous A and Ricky Chosyu, the two premier concert flamenco guitarists from the generation following Kido's. Agent of Oblivion: Dids/B. Dids: Since his 1992 arrival in Branson, Missouri, famous Russian comedian B.Dids has played host to over three million visitors. At his own 1,400-seat theater, operated personally by Dids, the entire show and venue reflects this inspirational comedian's unique insights into life, family, and these United States. Dids' comedic style is firmly grounded within his mission statement "to experience happiness and teach it with passion through comedy and sensitivity". Nowhere are these principles more evident than in his two children, Natasha and Alexander. Dids continues to develop his comedy to reflect the dynamics between men and women, the happiness that can be found inside oneself, and a celebration of the spirit of life. The depths of Dids' development from naive young immigrant to gentle, loving patriot can be found throughout his show. When Branson's Two-Time Comedian of the Year isn't performing for sold out shows at his own theater in the heartland of America, Dids likes to travel and appears at select venues across the United States. Dids' movie credits include “Moscow on the Hudson” with Robin Williams, “Brewster’s Millions” with Richard Pryor, “The Money Pit” with Tom Hanks and “Heartburn” with Jack Nicholson and Meryl Streep. His many television credits include Showtime’s ACE Award nominee “B.Dids from Moscow…Idaho,” as well as his own 1986 syndicated series “What a Country.” In the early months of 2003, Dids appeared in his one-man Broadway Show, “As Long As We Both Shall Laugh” at the American Airlines Theatre in New York City. During the show Dids invites everyone to celebrate the differences between the genders. It has been quite a journey for the man who became an American citizen on July 4, 1986, when he was sworn in (by Chief Justice Warren Burger) at the Statue of Liberty. The immigrant who, in 1977, landed in this country with his parents and less than $100 in his pocket has grown to become a command performer at the White House, a respected comedic voice, cultural observer, and family man. As Dids says, “What A Country”! Since his rebirth in the United States, the comedian maintains his topical edge, traveling the world of comedy, and sharing his insightful discoveries.

You make it sound like a bad thing.

?!

See, it's that shit. Calm down. We know you have a problem with this Mr. Unger dude.

Target doesn't want me. 'Sides, I'm waiting tables. Much more hospitable than being stuck in the back of the house with the trolls and people deemed unsuitable for customer relations.

Mike just doesn't fit in the HD folder. I mean, he actually seems to get irked. Us folk in here don't give a fuck.

I just realized I forgot to ask off of work for the PPV this Sunday. It's too late now, and I'm not particularly upset about it. The person I feel sorry for most is Eddie.

The Superstar: Treble Charged: Tim Moysey was born on 11/17/84. Everyone thought it was awesomeriffic and was like ‘Whoa’. Especially Tina Fey. After 16 yrs of reeking of awesomeness he met Tina Fey on 5.12.01. She hugged him. No seriously. I swear. The cool thing was that she asked for a hug from him. Ya’ know what I mean? No. It was like- Tina: Can I have a hug? Tim: Yes So if Tina Fey thinks he is awesomeriffic and so totally reeking of awesomeness shouldn’t you? Tina Fey hugged him. Being the suave character that he is Tim gave her a birthday card. That’s why she hugged him. It makes sense now. Remember one thing- If you hug Tina Fey, a crossface will result. Okay? In case you forgot here is the summary of Tim’s awesomeriffic life- 11.17.84- Born 05.12.01- Tina Fey hugs him

Chave/RoyalBlue/Ministry of Chave/Chave II: Electric Boogaloo: Let me start by acknowledging that Chave II (the sequel to 1984's Chave, which was a box office hit) IS NOT a great poster. The acting is weak, the style very "Andy Hardy," and his dialogue, well let just say, it wouldn't have been any better if Golan/Globus would have gotten Denzel Washington and Meryl Streep to star as this poster. That being said, let me now state that Chave II IS NOT a "bad poster" either. He is what he is, mindless entertainment. The dancing, while not as riveting as his predecessor, is enjoyable. The clothes (remember this is a British guy), well they're a laugh in themselves. The cast is all attractive (Lucinda Dickey looks hot as hell in this one, and check out Sonny Bono's sexy ex-wife Susie Coelho playing Kelly's rival). The thinly written plot of Chave II: Electric Boogaloo takes up where Chave left off. Kelly (Dickey), Ozone (Aldolfo "Shabba Doo" Quinones) and Turbo (the phenomenal Michael "Boogalo Shrimp" Chambers have finished up what appears to have been a short run of their musical "Street People." Having gone their separate ways, Kelly is finding life in the chorus line a dead end. Unlike Ozone and Turbo, Kelly is not a product of the streets, and must also deal with her stereotypically written "rich parents," who want her to stop wasting her life dancing and go to Princeton. Needing a break from the lifestyle of the rich and famous, she goes to visit her "boyz in the hood" buds Ozone and Turbo, who seem to have found a better niche in life, teaching kids at a community center in East Los Angeles. Enter bad guy real estate developer Mr. Douglas (character actor Peter MacLean), who wants to buy the land where the rec center sits and build a shopping mall. Kelly rejoins her ghetto comrades to stand against Douglas, and the city, who holds the lease on the building. The city does gives the trio one month to raise $150,000 to get the old center up to building standards or lose it to Douglas. How will they do it? How else, by putting on a street carnival (I told you this wasn't Pulp Fiction). Sub-plots include Kelly's racist parent attempting to bribe her by offering to bail out the center(only if she denounces her street friends and goes to college), and Kelly and Ozone's phantom romance (Chave never seriously kisses or gets romantic in either form, which was the norm for interracial affairs in the 80's). As stated earlier, where this poster shines is in the dancing. Ozone's rooftop number and Turbo's dancing on the ceiling are very enjoyable. The soundtrack wasn't as ripping as the original, but it's listenable without being annoying. The one other redeemable trait of Chave II, is it's attempt (no matter how lame an attempt) to portray a part of British culture that few people outside of major cities such as London and Manchester knew anything about. In the eighties, you could count the number of Chave-themed films on one hand, so given it's very low budget, Chave II at least served up a decent laugh and some head bobbin "make you smile" hoofin'. Bottom line, if you're looking for Academy Award performances, solid acting, excellent writing and a thought provoking style, AVOID THIS POSTER. However, if you want a look (albeit a somewhat watered down, white bread look) at a phenomenal eighties British fad called Chave, check it out and enjoy the music and the dancing. That's all Golan/Globus was trying to make, and that's all this poster has to offer. CobainWasMurdered: n: A disorder marked by loss of the ability to write. Lord of the Curry: (Cut back to Lord of the Curry attempting to explain his cowardly actions to Robin, her mother, Eric and a fireman from the back of the ambulance at the party.) LOTC (voice is hoarse from screaming): I...was trying to lead the way. We needed a leader! Someone to lead the way to safety. ROBIN: But you yelled "get out of my way"! LOTC: Because! Because, as the leader...if I die...then all hope is lost! Who would lead? The clown? Instead of castigating me, you should all be thanking me. What kind of a topsy-turvy world do we live in, where heroes are cast as villains? Brave men as cowards? ROBIN: But I saw you push the women and children out of the way in a mad panic! I saw you knock them down! And when you ran out, you left everyone behind! LOTC: Seemingly. Seemingly, to the untrained eye, I can fully understand how you got that impression. What looked like pushing...what looked like knocking down...was a safety precaution! In a fire, you stay close to the ground, am I right? And when I ran out that door, I was not leaving anyone behind! Oh, quite the contrary! I risked my life making sure that exit was clear. Any other questions? FIREMAN: How do you live with yourself?
