The Real Gidget. I was talking on the phone with Gigi the other night and we got to talking about Gidget, which got me surfing for pictures of Caryn Richman (who played "The New Gidget" back in the mid eighties, and was a babe), which lead me to this article by Deanne Stillman. This is really cool for any of you who give a shit about surfing or old fifties pop culture.

And speaking of Steve, he sent me this article from abcnews.com a while back. You should read it. It's about how we've turned into a nation of pussies and refuse to take responsibility for ourselves. That's what I get out of it anyway...

As I said last week, it's the conversations that make me appreciate my friends most:

Steve: so get this
Steve: i was talking to the guy i buy my pot from. he is a big black gang member (the dude has been in prison twice). i asked him, "Is it off the heezy or what?" dude, he was laughing so hard he had to hang up the phone
Steve: me trying to be black must be a riot to a real black person
Tim: hahahahahaha
Tim: HAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Tim: HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Steve: funny, huh?

This is an old article, recently found and sent to me by Rob. It talks about what a piece of fucking shit John Ashcroft is without actually calling him a piece of fucking shit. That's because the author of the article is a professional, whereas I'm childishly angry. Fucking piece of shit.

Howard sent this to me. This is wonderful. From the home page of the site:

Cool-2B-Real is about real girls like you! Whether you're in school, playing sports or just having fun, strive to be the best you can be! Real girls are "keepin' it real" by building strong bodies and strong minds... and they're feeling great about themselves!

Now, the best part is the text down at the bottom that says "Funded by America's Beef Producers." This is from the Keepin' Fit section:

Eating Regularly Puts Spring In Your Step "Real Girls" are busy and need lots of energy. You can get that extra energy and build muscle - which helps your metabolism - by eating regularly, at least every three to four hours. Be sure to get both protein and carbs in every meal. Enjoy a beef wrap for lunch or spaghetti and meatballs for dinner. Complete your meal with a glass of milk and a salad.

This site just keeps delivering. Check out the games "Burger Boggle" and "Grillin' & Chillin'." God, this makes me happy. There are images of "real" girls all over the site, like this one. I don't know about you, but I see teen and preteen girls dressed like that every day.

I've got a great bunch of friends. Intelligent and funny as hell. But it's the conversation that keeps the friendships thriving:

Phillip: would you be up for getting food?
Tim: yeah i would
Phillip: sweet
Phillip: im starving
Tim: i was actually debating whether or not to get shitty pizza
Tim: but real food would be good too
Phillip: yeah
Tim: you know
Tim: smegma is just awful
Phillip: where the hell did that come from?
Phillip: i mean
Phillip: i agree with you
Phillip: you should wash your penis
Phillip: but jesus christ!
Tim: hahahaha
Phillip: i think im going to be ill

I suddenly feel obligated to point out that I'd just read a particularly nasty definition of the word and that it's not a hygiene issue of mine. My penis is clean.

Sometimes Howard sends me email and I want to rock back and forth in the corner, wishing I was dead. Other times he sends me email and I couldn't be happier to know him. This is one of those times.

These are the boring pictures I took when I was in Colombia recently. You could feed an entire family for a month or two down there with what the camera cost. It wasn't mine and I just didn't feel like walking around with it, so not too many got taken.

And, truth be told, I spent most of my stay there locked away in my fiancees apartment. Best week of my life.

From David. Read the text on the cover. Y'think maybe this particular image shouldn't have accompanying text referring to a "mysterious bag?"

Doug sent this to me. I'm posting it here in the hope that sharing this will save my sanity. I apologize.

This is one of the worst things I've ever heard of. This, too, can be blamed on Phillip. He's in the zone.
