July 22, 2004 : Spot The New Monica!


Is it her? Or is it...him?

(Photoshop the beret where appropriate.)

And what does it say about George W.Bush that not even his worse enemies would believe he was involved in a sexual scandal? Or is there a sexual scandal, machiavellically plotted, which just might stick?

People have said these things about that :

It's the smirk. I can't get past the smarmy smirk!

Miguel, I have to laugh because just now on the BBC news they were talking about the new Portuguese head of the EU, and when they announced that he was chosen, it took quite a few minutes for them to locate him.

I thought to myself, "Ah, a sexy Portuguese man! He was probably making clandestine love in the coatroom!"

(or taking a leak, but the rendezvous scenario was much more continental!)

He looks like a grouper after a collision with a supertanker, Tizzie. Definitely not representative of us blindingly handsome, sexy beasts. ;)

Posted by: Miguel on July 22, 2004 09:01 PM

Bush would never give anyone the courtesy of a reacharound.

And that is politically unforgivable.

Then again, who would want to snuggle with Kerry?

Now that John Edwards...he'd spoon.

Posted by: ColdChef on July 22, 2004 10:26 PM

Now, I wouldn't have called her "Spot".

"Phideaux", maybe.

I've heard a certain couple rumors of Bush scandal over and over, but alas, they remain just rumors.

Simply put, if the rumors are true, there's a reason the White House has been stonewalling on the release of Bush's military records.

Posted by: Vidiot on July 23, 2004 01:56 AM

Does the word "stonewall" have anything to do with it, Vidiot?

Gawd, I hate to speak on their behalf, but I don't think the gay community would want to claim him, either.

Posted by: tizzie on July 23, 2004 07:22 AM

Yeah, I'd think they wouldn't exactly be thrilled to have him outed.

But I wasn't trying to say anything that subtle with my word choices.

The rumor that keeps circulating has to do with "suspicious white powder." I don't want to say too much on a public forum, though.

Posted by: Vidiot on July 23, 2004 09:56 AM

Pay no attention to that man behind the curtain! I am the great and powerful Wizard of Oz!


Now, watch this drive.

Bush does sorta appear asexual, doesn't he? Or perhaps he just seems that way in comparison to Clinton, who was a bit of a swaggering gland.

Posted by: dana on July 23, 2004 11:10 AM

One of my chief criticisms of Clinton was that, as Leader of the Free World and All That, one would think that (in the parlance of our times) he'd have bagged a better class of babe. I mean, c'mon, the guy could have been doing Madonna, instead he opts for truckstop-hooker wannabes and chubby Tracy-Flick-template interns with self-esteem issues.

I sincerely hope that, if GWB does get caught in some sort of zipper-related incident, he at least approaches this level of deliciousness.

Posted by: Fes on July 23, 2004 11:44 AM

Wishful thinking, Fes! More likely along these lines.

If snorting Gold Bond is wrong, I don't want to be right.

I had a friend that posited (or maybe he heard it from a comedian) that Clinton's one mistake was not pushing for anal. He said that if he had gone that route, nobody would've heard about it, b/c what girl is going to brag about that? The whole mess would've been averted.

They are more than rumors in Dallas. He did live here in the "rich single" apartments.
Add, many apartments in The Village had beer lines flowing into the apartments when paid for. Today it’s a throw back amenity from the 70’s 80’s Dallas craze. Then in the 90’s during the summer weekends you had free poolside kegs provide. U-fez is it still like that?

Posted by: thomcatspike on July 23, 2004 02:18 PM

What girl is going to brag about that?

Well, here's one - and she's a hottie, a smart chick, and a real backdoor girl.

So I'm not sure I agree 100% with your policework there, Lou.

Posted by: tizzie on July 23, 2004 03:10 PM

U-fez is it still like that?

If it was, would I ever leave my complex? Sadly, I think the days of the Village as a drunken Roman orgy are over. Nowadays, most of my neighbors are transitional immigrants trying to get their feet on the ground. Oh, and retired grandmothers with NRA stickers on their cars. Okay, that's just one, but still...

And tizzie, dear, I wouldn't put too much stock in it. It was just cloud talk, man.

Posted by: ufez on July 23, 2004 03:42 PM

WHY would you hyphenate "Ufez"? It just seems so...contrived.

How dare you use hyphens when there are children straving for proper grammar in this very country.

Posted by: tay-hots on July 24, 2004 01:25 AM

we was all starving for grammar oncet, too.

but we ate her anyways. we miss her sometimes, but thats the way it goes.

Posted by: yhbc on July 24, 2004 01:38 AM

Fes, I honestly have to say that JerseyGOP link is the most depressing thing I've seen in ages.

Kim! Tracy! Emma! How could you?!?

Posted by: Cyrano on July 24, 2004 05:10 AM

This seems as good a place as any to say "Happy Birthday, Miguel!"

Raise a toast to your favorite Portugoose!

Posted by: ColdChef on July 25, 2004 09:50 PM

It's *Miguel's* Birthday?

Alfred - light the Signal!

Posted by: Fes on July 26, 2004 12:02 AM

Cheers, Migs!

(Now if only I had something a little more ritzy than a beer to hoist in your honour...)

Posted by: arto on July 26, 2004 02:08 AM

Happy birthday, you chatty drunken sod.

Posted by: dong resin on July 26, 2004 10:11 AM

Miguel, my dear! How rude of me to have missed your aniversário. I hope the year ahead is filled with fine wine, delicious food, passionate lovemaking, and an unexpected windfall of cash!

Posted by: tizzie on July 26, 2004 11:04 AM

Didn't I just say that, tizzie?

Posted by: dong resin on July 26, 2004 11:55 AM

Yeah, dong, but she got all, like, poetic and shit about it.

Miguel, I wish you continued heavy doses of the very best of everything.

Posted by: Chico on July 26, 2004 12:10 PM

And arto, ritz in your beer just makes the crackers soggy. You're good with what you got, brother.

Posted by: Chico on July 26, 2004 12:11 PM

feliz aniversario, miguel

Posted by: ana on July 26, 2004 12:12 PM

Hmph. A girl does some work for once and comes back to babies and birthdays galore.

Tanti Auguri a tutti. Champers and illicit substances for all ('cept the wee ones)!

In an effort to avoid sleeping on marble for the next month, I'm off to go stand in front of IKEA with my cardboard sign reading "Must furnish new flat. Will give blowjobs in exchange for cheap particleboard scandinavian furniture." Toodles.

Posted by: romakimmy on July 26, 2004 03:05 PM

Why do I have a feeling that Fes and Ufez (among others!) are madly surfing for IKEA wishlists right about now?

Posted by: tizzie on July 26, 2004 03:16 PM

A very, very delightful birthday to you, Miguel. Beer Nuts for all!

Posted by: Vidiot on July 26, 2004 03:17 PM

And arto, ritz in your beer just makes the crackers soggy. You're good with what you got, brother.

Serves me right for not reading the damn instructions.

Was I a month too early?

Posted by: thomcatspike on July 26, 2004 06:33 PM

*going all misty-eyed*

Hey, thank you my dear, dear friends!

I've just got back from a lovely 4-day break at my favourite hotel, where my all-day, all-night birthday party was actually attended by 99% of all my best and oldest friends.

But I missed you - this is the truth. And no, I'm not drubk, not now, just moved.

Posted by: Miguel on July 27, 2004 01:32 AM

I envy you, Miguel, that hotel and the celebration sound great.

Posted by: dong resin on July 27, 2004 04:31 AM

Is the sea as beautiful as it looks in those pictures, Miguel?

'Cuz that just puts the old Ohio River to shame.

Posted by: tizzie on July 27, 2004 10:56 AM

Much more beautiful, Tizzie, changing every living hour. And it comes straight from America - there is no nearer point.

The sound, too, is beautiful.

And, since I've been going since I was seven and, like my younger sister, got married there (they even use a photo of us, for free, to advertise their honeymoon package) and have written about them, oh, about four times, they offer, after much arm-twisting, the most massive discounts.

They may hate me because of it but, sue me, I'm happy that way. Wouldn't it be the ideal place for the great 9622 reunion? I think it would be.

It's the real Atlantic, not your festering, Mediterranean "someone please pull the plug" toilet and two of my greatest pleasures in life were to crouch and wade in Maine and Nova Scotia, at the other end of the ocean.

Plentiful obsters, in both cases, helped to emphasize the similarity.

Let me organize this! I'm convinced it's the most beautiful place in Europe - me and everyone else who's been!

:)

Posted by: Miguel on July 27, 2004 11:12 AM

Obsters, btw, is the name of the more familiar crustacean while they're a-molting.

Posted by: Miguel on July 27, 2004 11:41 AM

It would take you about three minutes to talk me into that, Miguel, and that's if I wasn't really paying attention at first! I'm serious.

Hell, it only took two minutes for Chico, Sam and Dana to talk me into Lebowskifest NYC. Or was it me that talked them into it??

Damn the frequent flier miles! For this, I'd borrow money from Paulie Walnuts, even.
