Most people is pretty quiet right about now. Me, I see a stiff -- one I didn't have to kill myself -- I just get, the urge to, you know, do stuff. Like work out, run around, maybe get some trim if there's a willin' woman about... not that I get flush from corpses or anything. I ain't crazy.

PR: That was the first top/bottom three that I really wouldn't have guessed.

I wasn't upset with the bottom two, and hadn't been impressed with who went home, but WTFF was Christopher doing there?

I didn't love the winner's dress, but agree it looked great with the hat.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Not only did she make booty shorts, she made booty shorts that were ill fitting. And her ill fitting booty shorts looked like a diaper.

Seriously. Yikes.

I mean, the shit was QUILTED. That's a freaking tagline for one of the diaper brands!

I HATE "formal shorts" anyway, but if they had been longer, it wouldn't have been as bad.

Speaking of FAIL, Eric Ripert's West End Bistro ended up adding a 20% tip to mine and my friend's credit card. There were three of us, two paid with cards, one paid with cash, so we didn't add a tip onto the cc slips. We thought that we were being nice by leaving the tip in cash!

I have ripped the manager a new asshole, and he's going to call me back with some more information.

eta: Sorry for all of the asscaps, but I'm really pissed about the overcharging.

Dude. That is messed up. And, you know, illegal.

"Cry havoc and let slip the boobs of war!" -- Miracleman

Oh, yeah. And I told him that I was particularly angry because it was definitely deliberate, seeing as how both of us had been charged, and it was exactly twenty percent.

He started talking about how they'd like to have us back on them, etc. I said "Let's get the situation resolved before we start talking about how you're going to make it up to us."

Because books.

That's outrageous, Vortex. I would be furious.

I wish I could take you with me to work today as my spokesperson.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

That's outrageous, Vortex. I would be furious.

Yeah, me too. Same goes for what le Nubian and Megan said.
