And the next thing you know, half the damn can is peanuts!
I was going to quote what the Brazil nut had to say.
I denounce myself.
At least her diction is the correct diction for people of her depth. It’s distressing to me to hear grown, professional women speak like teenaged girls, unaware that they sound quite silly when they intonate every declaration as if it were a question.
Yes, I’m a diction snob when it comes to the ValleyGirl accent. They’ve obviously stopped teaching diction to newsreaders, as evidenced by the bubbly anchors who pronounce half their syllables in the back of their throats.
Brazil nuts used to have a racist nickname.
You’re a racist racist for even bringing it up.
Speaking of detecting racism, this video featuring Jason Alexander is a nice send-up on Hollywood self-righteousness regarding racism.
The video URL got stuck in the spam filter.
I love peanuts I had to stop buying them
I preemptively denounce myself, and I won’t even tell you why.
Meggy’s name should never be mentioned in proximity with anything Brazilian.
The other brand seems to have all the academia nuts.
As, like, a twenty-six year old Macademia, I’m like, nervous about all these nut-jobs.
Here is the video dicentra was thinking about. I think.
I’m struggling to visualize Meghan as having the density of a (half) macadamia nut. Soft and stinky like the insides of a Durian, that one.
No matter how lack of experience I have, I’m eating some cashews.
Do macadamia nuts have boobies?
Yes, cranky-d, that’s the vid, though I linked to Gubler’s official YouTube channel (and it appears that it’s working now; thanks Jeff!). Everyone admire the pink background.
All the videos there are hilarious: he plays the ultimate backstage douchebag.
Gubler’s also the one who tweeted about his 30-year-old diesel station wagon as getting better milage than a Prius and emitting “zero smug emissions.”
Yes, I’m a diction snob when it comes to the ValleyGirl accent.
And it bugs me that Meggie “26 y/o female representative of my generation” Mac, who probably has never set foot in The Valley (San Fernando), would display such an affectation of a 1970’s regional fad.
Oh, by the way, Meghan should know I’ve asked my girls and they swear they don’t recall any election where she was elected their representative.
As, like, a Twenty-six year old representative of everyone who’s, like, Twenty-six, I elected myself. *rolls eyes, flips hair*. Wingnuts
Megan isn’t trying for representative of her generation. She just assumes she is her generations elite.
Shut up Megan, and get in the brownie!
Who?
I was sure her fifteen minutes were up, like, fourteen minutes ago.
Why can’t she just shut up and go away.
Seriously, at the risk of sounding like the misogynist that I’m not, once she’s no longer an, ahem, curiosity she’ll fade to black; and by that I mean shack up with a “D” list L.A. rapper.
She just needs to get a bit thicker; and not in the head. Know what I mean?
What? Matthew Gray Gubler of “Criminal Minds” is (relatively) sane?
Rob – that is surprising, no?
“Seriously, at the risk of sounding like the misogynist that I’m not, once she’s no longer an, ahem, curiosity she’ll fade to black;”
Much like her useful idiot father, as long as she criticizes Republicans on TV while purporting to be a Republican she’ll have her publicity. Her father is not smart enough to know why the media loves him so (at least until he runs against a Dem), and I doubt she will be either.
What? Matthew Gray Gubler of “Criminal Minds” is (relatively) sane?
He’s from Vegas, not the coasts. (Though he went to NYU film school and did some modeling after being discovered on the streets of NYC.) Interviews I’ve seen show him as a happy, well-adjusted, quirky, creative person. Never has used drugs, hates the nightclub scene, and won’t wear matching socks because the last time he did he sprained his ankle. And by not matching I mean one green and one red, or two bold prints.
I haven’t run into anything he’s said that’s expressly political, and he does not take himself seriously at all. If you watch Episode 3 at the link in #4, near the end he produces one of the photos from his modeling stint, and hilarity ensues. Episode 10 starts with really dorky photos from his past. I don’t know how he shows his face in public after showing those photos.
Sample from his Twitter feed:
“Why are rappers always getting busted with guns? If I were a rapper i would carry laffy taffy, expensive marbles, and a small harmonica”
“I own exactly one pair of shorts and I wear them exactly one day of the year http://yfrog.com/ndy25bj”
“Pretty much officially lost my mind. I’m gonna go turn myself into the cops, for what I don’t know, but maybe they can give me some soup”
“I am a giant red sweater slowly being unraveled by adorable rabid kittens”
“Found a 3.5 inch clumsy grasshopper in my backyard today. Seriously like a snickers bar with legs”
“[friend]: you are 70% lies, 10% dairy products, 10% injuries, 10% bone structure [matthew]: well you are 70% gremlin 30% easter peep”
“I like bands that sound like they have once ridden a dragon into war”
Reminds me of Feets, actually. Too bad I’m old enough to be his mom.
“I like bands that sound like they have once ridden a dragon into war”
Now that is Grade A right there!
Heh. Sounds like some friends of mine.
(Did you know that after a long enough exposure to the air, a peep will shatter on impact?)
Peeps are of the devil.
Don’t blame peeps on me. That’s just low.
dicentra,
Did you know that it is quite impossible to read those and not hear his voice?
Now that is Grade A right there!
Given the psychopathologies that infect most Hollywood types, Gubler supplies the most refreshing breath of air since I found out that Wil Wheaton is cool and funny and mocks Wesley Crusher.
Which, to come full circle, Wheaton was a villain in Criminal Minds, though I don’t think he did any scenes with Gubler. Wheaton says that Criminal Minds has the nicest, most easy-going production crew in TV, a nice contrast to the sicko stuff they deal with on the show, I guess.
Yesterday, Thomas Gibson was quizzing his Twitter followers about whose shoes he was photographing. Gubler’s were obvious.
Did you know that it is quite impossible to read those and not hear his voice?
GET OUT OF MY HEAD!
Well, I will have to buck the trend by saying I don’t find Megh all that unattractive, if she’d just keep her mouth shut.
I must confess to a personal taste for a bit of extra padding. Comfort, not speed, and it also hints that a good-sized glob of something sticky-sweet (and preferably chocolate-flavored) will stop the noise long enough to get on with it. Ms. McCain definitely strikes me as an individual who hasn’t been nailed to the counterpane often, or thoroughly, enough, probably because potential swains couldn’t get past famous daddy, and is “acting out” as a consequence.

Ric
Ric:
So MeggieMac’s problem is that she doesn’t get laid enough?
Why is that the conclusion that men come to almost inevitably?
marketing WIN from… Sears?
yes. Sears.
Maybe because, hey, it’s worth a try?
Dicentra,
The science behind lack of sex and Meggy Macs attitude: http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/health/2067223.stm
Why is that the conclusion that men come to almost inevitably?
I rarely think in those terms but I can certainly see where Ric’s coming from. There’s more than a little bit of the spoiled sheltered girl playing a role in her shtick.
dicentra: heh, as the fellow says.
For me, at least, it isn’t the default. There are plenty of annoying people, male and female, for whom that isn’t a consideration. That being said, there is a definite, identifiable behavior pattern; it consists, essentially, of issuing challenges, and when they aren’t met, escalating the next one.
People do forget that the same Biblical passage that enjoins wives to “submit” to their husbands also requires the husband to perform, err, regular maintenance. After some decades of observation — purely anecdotal, mind you — it’s my observation that when those injunctions are followed, it results in people who not only get along better with one another, they tend to get on with the rest of society with much less friction.
Regards,
Ric
Ric,
Is it the sex or the cigarette after?
#34 I will concede that most women I’ve know would freely attest that I can fall asleep pretty darn fast.
But not that fast.
If it makes you feel any better, the thought actually comes to mind more often with random dudes. Women seem to deal with it much better. This is why no one ever took the time to coin “blue ovaries”.
Btw, I’ve always been of the opinion that if you juiced women with a male’s level of testosterone they’d pretty quickly realize how we’re actually amazingly restrained in regards to sex and violence through sheer force of will.
Sure, they’d destroy the world in about 10 minutes but at least they’d empathize afterward.
if you juiced women with a male’s level of testosterone
Oh, I realize that the hormonal differences are phenomenal, and that my thought patterns would change significantly if you upped my testosterone level to a normal male’s.
People do forget that the same Biblical passage that enjoins wives to “submit” to their husbands also requires the husband to perform, err, regular maintenance.
People don’t notice that the language in the NT regarding marriage is that of utter reciprocity. And I reckon that “submission” doesn’t mean “STFU” but rather “he won’t become a real man until you let him take the lead and make real decisions.”
Because one of the worst dynamics in a marriage is the woman as nagging mother and the husband as petulant teenager. Which is what happens when women don’t curb their urge to Be The Mature One all the time.
And I’m aware of the science, too.
It’s just usually when men observe that “she just needs to get laid,” I wonder where the hell they get that kind of self-regard.
#42
I think you read too much machismo into that assertion. It’s more about her achieving some degree of release than it is about who may provide the assist.
And, speaking solely for myself, when uttered it is most commonly a plea for someone else to throw himself on the grenade, metaphorically speaking.
That unreasonable self-regard is how you walk up to a random woman and hit on her while knowing that she knows exactly what you’re doing.
If we were less cocky for no apparent reason, we’d all be sitting in the corner looking at our shoes like at a grade school dance.
IMO, obviously.
Err 46 not 42.
I already wanted to marry The Gube, but this just upped my desire to do so by, like, a million.
We would breed a race of glorious nerds to take over the world with.
Ah. You were thinking of it in terms of volunteering, which is risible.
No, an isolated incident — the male model — isn’t appropriate. But there’s a reason the Bitchy Princess is an enduring stereotype.
The relationship has taken pathological forms in all too many cases, which is what you’re objecting to.
On the gun forums and related you often find fathers talking about seeing to it that their daughters’ suitors are aware that Daddy is Armed. Fathers who adopt that tack should be aware that if it succeeds, they will end up raising a Meghan McCain.
Regards,
Ric
I see a Randy Quaid-like future for Megan.
And it probably has less mileage than Meghan.
Foursome?
Not to mention holding up better in spite of them.
Yep, with Meggie, quality isn’t job one.
I already wanted to marry The Gube, but this just upped my desire to do so by, like, a million.
I just now discovered The Gube, after becoming addicted to the Criminal Minds reruns, which are on the ION channel at the rate of 2-4 a night. I didn’t even like his character at first, finding the “sensitive genius who must be protected from harm” to be a little too precious and contrived. The episode where he found out what happened to Riley changed my mind. And then they all just grow on ya, anyway.
If we were less cocky for no apparent reason, we’d all be sitting in the corner looking at our shoes like at a grade school dance.
Heh. If you go to the 1:20 mark of this “behind the scenes” vid from the Criminal Minds boxed video set, you get to see The Gube prepare for his first onscreen kiss, which, you wonder if the term “onscreen” is even needed. If after watching this you don’t think he’s the Cutest Thing EVAR, you have absolutely no soul.
I love Meghan McCain. She’s just gorgeous.
The Cutest Thing EVAR has to stop acting like that or he’s going to always become “the friend”.
speaking of vapid whores here’s a great great article about karl rove… it’s interesting and you get a real sense of what a pivotal moment it was when John Corhnole and Karl Rove and the NRSC and the rest of establishment Team R gangraped Christine O’Donnell the night of her primary victory – it’s impossible to imagine this article being written had that not happened
*Cornhole* I mean
The Cutest Thing EVAR has to stop acting like that or he’s going to always become “the friend.”
Methinks that’s where he’s been his whole life. I rewatched that first-kiss video, and it really was the first even in real life.
Look, now that he’s rich and famous, he’s an automatic alpha. That’s just how it works.
Who in the world is, “the Gube”?
“Look, now that he’s rich and famous, he’s an automatic alpha.”
Perez Hilton? Oh, wailt a minute. He’s infamous…
True, true. And, hey, his first kiss was with Amber Heard in a swimming pool. Mine was with a girl who cornered me on the playground.
Gube 1, bh 0.
Please cease and desist in your libelous slanderous lies lies lies. thank you.
Amber Heard is treated well by google images.
Watch The Informers, nut defender.
Netflix on the iPad rocks, bh.
That’s the first Apple toy that’s seriously tempted me, JD. And that comment might have pushed me over the edge. Must hold out for next generation…
Dude! Who is the effin’ Gube?
I mean, is he the “oughts” Tom Selleck or what?
It is my first Apple product, and in less than 72 hours, I have already asked myself why I have never done this before. Amazing.
Just in case, the name is unfamiliar, here’s Amber Heard;http://www.buddytv.com/articles/hidden-palms/profile/amber-heard.aspx
Actor on the TV show Criminal Minds, Bob. Plays a sort of goofy genius character. And, it turns out that women consider him the cutest thing ever.
Stop it, JD. I must resist.
Hmmm, according to your link, Mr. Smith, she’s from Texas. What is it with that state? So many hot actresses are Texan that it’s not even funny.
bh – I will quit talking about how fucking incredibly awesome it is. I promise I will not mention that it is the single greatest gadget electronic thingie since BlackBerry was invented.
You’re on to something there;http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0954036/
Natalie Zea on the iPad will change your mind, bh. Truly. I shit you not.
You’re evil, JD.
How come that goofy genius stuff never worked for me? I had to resort to the shit-hot fighter pilot thing…
I felt so…tawdry, simian, and roguish…
All at once!
Bob Reed – I am pretty sure it is due to the fact that he carries around an iPad with him. That is the secret. It makes people like Natalie Zea throw their panties at you.
Shit, Bob, worse, you were playing the tall fighter pilot card.
In a way, that’s a bit unsporting of you. If you walked into a wedding reception wearing the uniform while there was only one awesome bride’s maid, I’d have hated you immediately. Sure, I’d buy you a drink and be pleasant but I’m be grumbling on the inside.
but I’d be
Pure devilry, JD.
bh – I am actually understating how much I like this.
bh,
I only wore the dress whites when appropriate; or when my squadron mates were doing so. To do so at a wedding where all of the other participations were civilians would have been…assymetrical warfare…
Certainly not the conduct of a Gentleman; unless, you know, said gentleman couldn’t afford the tux rental…
What can I say? pay scales weren’t always what they are today!
Dudes! The Junkies are down 6-1 to Texas. My lovely wife is on the verge of sepuku! Should I resort to the handcuffs? Or, you know, save them for later…
I was hoping for another World Series where both teams played on our fields, again. Looks like both our teams are on the verge of losing.
I don’t dare bring up the fact that I root for the senior circuit anyway…
For an educated, lovely, demure woman, she’s freakin’me out right now.
It’s a good thing none of tonight’s Yankees pitchers necks are in range of her hands right now!
Is it over yet?
Nasty hook, and Nolan Ryan’s team is headed to the World Series. That last pitch was nasty nasty nasty.
Dude! Effin’ Thor was right!
The Rangers took the American League pennant! Like he predicted last spring.
Well, I guess a stopped clock is right twice a day…
But thor’s Aggies still suck.
True Dat, Mike…
Thor sucks donkey dick.
Mine was with a girl who cornered me on the playground.
Mine was with a closet case who was still deciding which personality disorder to develop and probably ended up with all of them. What score do I get?
Actor on the TV show Criminal Minds, Bob. Plays a sort of goofy genius character. And, it turns out that women consider him the cutest thing ever.
He’s also known to spend Saturday mornings in his footed jammies eating pancakes and delighting in the original Parent Trap. Sometimes the cutest thing EVAR makes the best housepet EVAR.
Don’t be bitter, bh. Not five hours ago, The Gube tweeted this.
No way do you want to trade places with him after this kind of incident. No way in hell.
Better Half thinks Shemar Moore (sp?) is simply the most beautiful person ever created.
Better Half thinks Shemar Moore is simply the most beautiful person ever created.
Oh, he’s definitely flawless. And Thomas Gibson is awesome when he’s not playing the stony-faced Hotchner.
Better Half says she could watch that show with the sound off. A&E also shows countless re-runs, and now they rarely run one that I have not seen. It is not Justified, but it is damn damn good.
Flawless does not do Shemar justice.
You crack me up, di. I think the current score is Gube 1, bh 0, di -1. I could tell an anecdote where I hit -2 but let’s just leave it with “Never date a girl you’ve seen steal something.” Even if it seems innocent, cute, whimsical or vaguely French. This is how you end up locked out of your own apartment over a weekend.
And, you’re right, the Gube has some celebrity type problems of his own. Still think he should have tried being the guy from the R rated movie with Amber Heard though.*
Shemar is male? That’s just deliberately confusing.
My favorite story from bh was his “never date a girl with an Adam’s apple and hands bigger than yours”. That one cracks me up every time. Does vaguely French mean she only kind of stunk?
Right now I’m watching the one about the kids being chased through the woods and murdered. There’s a clip out there somewhere from this episode, where the BAU and the local cops are standing in a playground at the edge of the woods, Mandy Patinkin gives the order for them all to split up and search, and just as they head out of the frame they circle back, then jump on the merry-go-round and see-saws.
I don’t remember than story, JD. Thankfully. Though I did once hear a story on the Hiawatha Amtrak train from a drunk dude that ended with “That’s why you should never get a cheap hooker.” Similar moral.
Vaguely French means that I mistook her craziness for a cultural difference. Hate when that happens.
remember that story
One of my personal favorites involved Jaegermeister, ApfelKorn, a boa bag, a hayride, a corn silo, and hitch hiking on an interstate highway.
Boda, not boa. Fucking spell check. If I want to type the word boa, I will type it.
