“RIPT FUSION is a body-sculpting undershirt designed to support your core, shave inches off your belly and enhance your posture. Immediately, you will look and feel better in your clothes with a heightened sense of core consciousness.”
It’s like Spanx for men who are trying to pretend they don’t have body shame.
Do you at least sympathize with the guy who’s only at your show because his girlfriend has dragged him there?
No. I just think, “I’m gonna get you laid tonight, buddy. You’ve gotta thank me.”

LATFHP: Look at These Fucking Harem Pants.
[via my Flickr]
Spotted on L train platform on my way to work this morning.
(Also, plus gladiator sandals? Really? You’re mixing metaphors here. Are you heading off to tell stories to King Shahryar or are you getting ready to slay a tiger in the Colosseum?)
I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again.
Harem pants. What you’re aiming for: runway fashion model. What you’ll settle for: I Dream of Jeannie. What you really look like: MC Hammer.
I almost asked her to do The Running Man for me.
At the behest of like, all my friends, I have fiiiiinally started renting “Freaks and Geeks.” I have to say, I am really enjoying it thus far.
(There. Are you happy, friends? You may all say “I told you so” in unison now.)
I don’t know why I was so resistant to watching it for so long, other than maybe seeing “Undeclared” first kind of underwhelmed me? Also, I hear Judd Apatow, and I think bros, and high school has already been perfectly crystallized on film for me by my girl, Angela Chase. Then again, the Linda Cardellini character in “Freaks and Geeks” is pretty sassy, and what has Claire Danes done for me lately? Terminator 3? (I like to pretend she died right after she filmed MSCL otherwise thinking of all that unfulfilled promise really bums me out.)
And this cast of bros? They’re all still entertaining me now. I would like Jason Segel on a cracker. I will probably even watch his Muppet movie. Seth Rogan is…my spirit animal. I was happy to see Martin Starr, who plays the oddball Bill, turn up in the new show “Party Down.” And, James Franco. Ahh, James Franco.
I saw the Spiderman films and did not think much of him. He wasn’t exactly boyishly cute, not quite manly handsome. Kind of mediocre all around. His performance in Pineapple Express was the first time where I thought, “NOW I GET IT.” James Franco’s true potential can only be unlocked when he is playing burnouts. See above “Freaks and Geeks” clip where he perfectly captures (as Jared Leto/Jordan Catalano did before) the way a smooth stoner can so casually steal your heart with a few kind words.
Turns out I like my fictional Franco like I like my hair dryer setting: hot and high.

Add to the mother fucking cart, bitches!
Oh, I get it.
It’s like boardshorts for women who are trying to pretend they don’t have body shame.
In the scale of embarrassing place names, Crapstone ranks pretty high. But Britain is full of them. Some are mostly amusing, like Ugley, Essex; East Breast, in western Scotland; North Piddle, in Worcestershire; and Spanker Lane, in Derbyshire.
Others evoke images that may conflict with residents’ efforts to appear dignified when, for example, applying for jobs.
These include Crotch Crescent, Oxford; Titty Ho, Northamptonshire; Wetwang, East Yorkshire; Slutshole Lane, Norfolk; and Thong, Kent. And, in a country that delights in lavatory humor, particularly if the word “bottom” is involved, there is Pratts Bottom, in Kent, doubly cursed because “prat” is slang for buffoon.
As for Penistone, a thriving South Yorkshire town, just stop that sophomoric snickering. “It’s pronounced ‘PENNIS-tun,’ ” Fiona Moran, manager of the Old Vicarage Hotel in Penistone, said over the telephone, rather sharply. When forced to spell her address for outsiders, she uses misdirection, separating the tricky section into two blameless parts: “p-e-n” — pause — “i-s-t-o-n-e.”

I adore this “fashion primer.” It really reminds me a lot of the awesome Monty Python and the Holy Grail linking animations.
