Gawker isn't napping. Gawker is staring into space waiting for its coffee to cool.

From bitter experience, I know that sneezing after sex WILL dislodge a contraceptive sponge.

Yeah, what he said.

"it's a matter of the entire subject boring people out of their minds."...Really? Amazing. The exiting president, who started a war and financial debacle that will, at best haunt if not warp, mutilate, cripple and pretty much bring down an empire and it is dismissed as if it were a bad sitcom that didn't make it to week 13. Or maybe it is....

Well the last item makes sense. Ant Music is the perfect soundtrack for these days.

¿Ay, cielos! Darling Choire, how could you confuse John Leguizamo for the hotness that is Mark Ruffalo? It's the latter who plays the doctor.

That roof furniture? It's part of cost-cutting too. Moving everyone up to the roof will save on electricity (natural light is so flattering too) not to mention heat.

I can't wait to see places like the Beatrice Inn switching from bottle service to salt licks.

What's with the overreaction? Hells bells, y'all think you're being accused of being gay? What's the big deal?

Thank you Choire. This is so well done I'm going to use it in class with my students.

Anna Quindlen?

I was hoping someone would post this. Best moment of the day for me. If only Hillary had mouthed off like this....

Yeah, Maggie! Nice to know we're in good hands again!

Daddy's home! Get the pitcher of martinis, STAT!

Can't somebody introduce her to Moby?

pssst...try the stuff with the bubbles, they'll tickle your nose.

BabiesRUS. And it's August, Alex, we forgive you anything.

Just looking at her gives me fistulas.

Can't they at least name those services more realistically?

I seem to remember a Mary Tyler Moore Show episode where Mr. Grant assigned the number between good girl and slut. I believe he said it was "six" and Mary's face, in response, did a series of contortions that could only be replicated in human form by the entire Pina Bausch company.

Can't she just make thousands of $$$$$$$$$$$$ stuffing envelopes at home?

Can't she just make thousands of $$$$$$$$$$$$ stuffing envelopes at home?

Better luck next time. I still think it would have been a good fit.

How the hell are the little bastards going to learn to play with matches if their parents DON'T smoke?

Why do I get the feeling that the fact that this series survives year after year is why the honeybees are disappearing?

@maitresse: yes, ditching NY for Old Yurp (Madrid in my case)is worth it, although you must be ever vigilant. The same old types...

"...unrelentingly heterosexual, largely but definitely not entirely Ivy League, and composed of some people who like each other and some who don't and some who cannot tell who they do and do not like..."

are everywhere. But you can at least intimidate NY'ers because you're from Europe and Europeans because you're from New York. OR, ever better, give up those parties and work hard. You'll have a lot more fun.

Or a halting, grinding, metallic voice that repeats on a loop...Please stand clear of the moving sleazebag as trains enter and leave the station. Thank you.

Julia Allison's new blog makes me wish I had running sores all over my body so I could rub them up against the screen of my PC while looking at the site. If you'll now excuse me, I'm going to go out and search under the highway overpasses in my city until I find some vermin-infested indigents who will have sex with me so I can get infected with something that will give me running sores so I can rub them all over Julia's face on my computer screen.

And I mean that kindly.

Do bears have bukets?

Clip of the year. What amazing composure (considering most of the MSNBC crew practically lost it on-air).

I was going to comment, Alex, but the ad above is far wittier than I could ever be.
You still have a place in my heart. Next to the old unlabeled cassette tapes I swear I´ll throw out as soon as I figure out which has the bootleg Buzzcocks stuff on it. Besos...
