@ all the libbies out there, and library customers.
On my several years working on the circulation desk at the public library, we got endless entertainment out of the poor, nervous, sweaty bastards getting out 'The Joy of Sex' etc... So if you've ever been down to your local video store renting porno dvd's, yes, you will forever be known as porno guy to the staff there.

Hugh is definitely cuter but has that tendency to do it with ho's in public.
C'mon Dinah, you bang (ahem) in one nail, no one calls you a builder. But you do it with one ho in public and forever more you're known as... :-)

...who finds themselves compelled to use actual sentences with proper grammar and spelling when mobile texting?
Not a chance. But I do mix full words and txt speak, as in 'walking down queen st 2 u'. Whereas my kids would write 'wlk dn qn st 2 u'.
k?

In what sense? Rarking the Aussies up or seriously copping it if we're ever caught cheating ourselves?
I think it will fire them up over and above the hurt pride of losing. I wouldn't be surprised to see us cop a shoeing this Friday. Hope not, and I think Dan V took exactly the right attitude in telling it like it was, but I can see it galvanising the Aussies.

On the tennis; I read a quote about 12 months ago from (I think) Nadal's coach saying that once he beat Federer on grass, he'd never lose to him again.
On the cricket; Anyone else seeing Haddin-gate coming back to bite us big time?

And John Martyn is dead at 60 :-(

While the song has a beauty, Beyonsis's rendition lacks something. (Perhaps I prefer those who want to evoke an emotion in me to actually have experienced some deeper emotions, other than sycophancy and covert ambition, themselves.) Yes Im saying I find her shallow.
She thinks the world of you.

Perhaps you can think of additional reasons to be cheerful ...
Easy for me this week. Dancehall: The Rise Of Jamaican Dancehall Culture, the new double CD retrospective from Soul Jazz is up on EMusic so you can grab it for under $15 (would be $49-$59 in the shops).
It's a beautiful thing with a load of dancehall classics from the likes of General Echo and Eek-a-Mouse through to lesser knowns like Reggie Stepper and Early B. It has the original Ini Kamoze World A Music that became Damien Marley's smash hit Welcome to Jamrock as well as extended mixes from Tristan Palmer and Gregory Isaacs (one of the few performers to creditably span rocksteady to ragga).
But best of all it's got the full extended mix of Cornell Campbell's Mash you Down complete with DJ version by (I think) I-Roy. Heavy lyrics, beautiful soulful voice and a sunshine rhythm, that's what it's all about.
I'm totally loving Emusic for that this week.

I guess we're going to have to agree to disagree there, because it seems to me TDS gets downright feeble when they can't avoid Obama (Um, he's got big ears. And, yes, I've noticed he's black. That all you've got.) -- and it's not really that mysterious why. Most people don't make fun of people they like with any conviction. And really great satirists are misanthropic -- they don't like anyone very much.
Agreed Craig. TDS breathed oxygen from the absurdities of the Bush years. Is Jon Stewart going to spend the next 4 years doing skits on writer's block?

Only once a week for the ass drivers? That hardly seems fair.
