Re: Three Guinea Pigs Fight for a Cucumber
Or perhaps the jerk is the snickering god who won't slice up the bounty for his captives, and also won't give them hands and a knife.

Actually, I'm pretty sure he's saying "you graduated".

Re: Paper Disco
Technically, (techno-cally?) it's foamcore, but that does include a layer of paperboard on the outside. The vocals for the mix come from "Midnight" by Yazoo / Yaz. One of their best songs, imo. Alison Moyet + Vince Clarke. I LIKE!

Re: Rachel Maddow: 2M4M
Hey! 2M4M just announced an awesome contest: The most generous contributor will win an authentic Chinese sailing vessel, and an all-expenses paid maiden voyage to the birthplace of democracy among the Greek Islands with former Senator Rick Santorum. The press release reads: Go Greek! Navigate the narrow passageways! Get Santorum on your Junk!

Re: Body Flex: Lion Pose
Not just "a fitness instructor": I'm pretty sure it's Linda Evans, of tvs Dynasty.
Also, it's legitimate yoga, just not usually done after an hour session with a make-up and hair stylist, or with earrings and a clam hammock.

Transcendental. I am appreciating this work on many levels.

Re: Ted Talks: Barry Schwartz: The Real Crisis? We Stopped Being Wise
Solutions are what the individual comes up with when confronted with the choice: "Do I follow the rule here, or do I do the right thing?"
Personally, I would not cast selfishness as direct opposition to selfishness. I have heard it said that no one does anything except that they think that in the doing of it they would feel better. When the right thing to do is the thing you do because it feels better, it's selfish in addition to being the right thing to do. Win-win-win! Why do I want a more cooperative, more peaceful, less-commercial world? Because I think I'd feel better living in it. How do I get there? By doing the right thing. How do I know it's the right thing to do? Because it feels better!
What can I do about anyone else's decision (like their "commercialistic ways" or their war mongering or trying to get me to do something I don't want to do? Well, I can try to control it (how's that going for me?) or I can sit back and enjoy the show. Preferably, I'll turn my attention to shows like Barry Schwartz and TED are putting on. But I'm still going to do the right thing when it's my turn, especially when it feels good.

Re: Angry Inch in 'Hedwig and the Angry Inch'
Military kid seduced by edge culture. Creates performance drag character based on immigrant German trailer park seductress. Develops off-off-Broadway show around Hedwig, a botched tranny-job rock goddess unable to find love while focused on a history of exploitative opportunists. Show attracts cult-following. Kid offered movie-deal. Debut directs self in brilliant rock musical film, arguably one of the best ever. If you haven't seen Hedwig, do yourself a favor. Get you some!

Re: The Office UK: My Mother's Breasts
Wow. I wonder if Ricky Gervais, credited as a writer and producer for several of the US versions' episodes, would agree that it's an abomination. I think they're both awesome.
