Hmmm, no flipflops. Is this a Kerry critique in disguise?

Cute, Crid. But don't you mean, "Is this a Bush critique in disguise?"

Also now posted below "Who's The Big Spending Democrat" as an entry of its own.

Well, just be glad you don't live in Silver Lake, or else you'd be gagging on the sight of *my* proud, hobbit-like toe hair all over the damned 'hood. This is Southern California, not sweater-neck Paris or Victorian England, ya fashion dominatrix!

Yes, I admit it, I'm a fashion fascist. And not to get too personal, but I would imagine you don't have thick clumps of ape-like black hair on your toes! That's when it's the worst.

I would be curious to hear Lenas take on mens toe hair....

I've heard that men in the metros are getting their eyebrows done- is this toe hair some new fashion thing that hasn't hit the Pacific Northwest yet? Should I be waxing, trimming, or lasering to be up to date?

I think I'll start with the Dorito, make my way to the airstrip...

I actually have 1,000 times more big-toe hair than the chesty stuff, but it's blond, so you probably couldn't see it through your fab shades....

"The shaggy-toed Matt Welch"...oh, the things you blog out of your friends...!

"I've heard that men in the metros are getting their eyebrows done"

Yes, they are, and it's such a turn-off. A little judicious clipping around the base of the penis has a nice lengthening effect. But tweezed eyebrows make men look like dolls, or clowns. Hairdye is also disastrous on men. Don't ever do it!

I am indifferent about toes and toe hair. All of that stuff is down near the floor. I miss out on the toe action, because my adorable transsexual chin is always pointed proudly upward and outward. Just like my chest.

Hair dye is disastrous on men?

Oops...

Not on you, Luke. Just on the guys who think they're hiding something. You're the antithesis of hiding something. For anyone who doesn't know Luke, whose hair always reminds me that it's time for a Slurpee...LYTrules.com

Also, if you're a very pretty, extremely bright nymphomaniac...!

Right, Amy. I was thinking of hairdye as a way to look "young." I think your hair is super-fine, LYT. More than a few years ago, I regularly dyed my hair blue-black and wore a lot of smudged-up indigo eyepencil. Girls liked it -- but I was really hoping that boys would like it more.

I propose we all meet next year at a really cool hotel whereever the next hurricane is about to hit.

I would love that! I think the hurricane news is very, um, stimulating (eg, "Ivan POUNDS the gulf," etc).

Since I hail from one of the more swarthy races, my toes, I'm sure, would sicken you. But from the time the thermometer starts hitting 80+ consistently, it's flip-flops only for me. Socks happen only at the gym. I've got the job that lets me, and a girlfriend that gets weirded out by the hairless types.

A swarthy guy who goes to the gym? Nice to meet you, Gary.

Down, Lena!

Go Lena Go! (you mysterious vixen)

I just hope it hits New Orleans when we are there.
