I wonder what's going through the models' heads during a show like that?

Banana hammock!

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Called a "zorse" or a "zebroid" (pretty much lose, lose if you ask us), typically the offspring of a zebra and horse have stripes across the entire body.

I think they should go with "hor-bra".

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

If ANTM tells us anything they're alternating between "Stomp!" and "Look FIERCE!!!"

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

C'mon, I don't that's even the weirdest Galliano show ever.

Timelies. Just caught up. Wanted to give a belated thanks for all the birthday happies I received. Very relaxing weekend, though one of my plans got frelled up.

Off to catch up in Bithces.

"hor-bra".

Oh, dear. All I can think of is the kind of pointy thing Madonna used to wear.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Here's something I didn't know: By law, a deactivated cellphone must still be able to call 911.

Apparently a mother who let her 4 year old daughter keep a deactivated cellphone didn't know this either. So guess what - her daughter used it to call 911. Not just once, but almost 300 times.

July 05,2007 | CARPENTERSVILLE, Ill. -- Authorities tracked down a 4-year-old girl who called 911 nearly 300 times last month by offering to deliver McDonald's to her suburban Chicago apartment.

Unbeknownst to her mother, the girl used a deactivated cell phone to call dispatchers 287 times in June -- sometimes as often as 20 times a shift.

Dispatchers heard the child's voice but could only track the phone's signal to the apartment complex.

So authorities used a ruse to pinpoint her.

"We asked (the caller) what she wanted. She said she wanted McDonald's," said Steve Cordes, executive director of QuadCom's emergency center, which covers Carpentersville.

"We talked with her and we convinced her if she told us where she lives, we would bring her McDonald's," he said. "She finally gave us her address. So we sent the police over -- with no McDonald's."

After police arrived, the girl's mother took away the phone, Cordes said.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

No McDonald's??? How is that kid ever supposed to trust authority figures?

This past weekend we watched a kid toy with the ticket machines at the cinema after her mother had run the credit card through. We were kinda hoping she'd hit the "No, really, I do want all 297 tickets" button before her mother noticed, but no such luck.
