Contest: Stalk George Clooney, Win a Prize!
The first person to send us an authentic shot in which Clooney is which undisputedly visible wins Ocean’s 11 AND Ocean’s 12 on DVD.
Oh, how thoughtful of you. Two bargain-bin DVDs, both probably 2-for-$20 at Best Buy on 23rd St. (where Denton likely picked them up after a long, […]

Glad I Could Take It In The Butt For You

Monday, March 27th, 2006

Although I’m not ranking quite that high with Google yet here on the Rooster, I can now celebrate one measure of success; on MSN, I’m the #1 search result for “guys having sex in van”.

Hatin on The Man

Sunday, March 26th, 2006

The New York Times offers a troika of bad-news stories for those who subscribe to authoritarianism, for all ages:

With some relevancy to my own situation, I point you to this mediabistro.com forums thread:
Topic: my boyfriend needs a job…
The sum of the original poster’s plea: her boyfriend moved to be with her (supposedly in NYC, considering the context of “upstate” and “into the city”) and is now having problems finding work despite his stellar […]

A step into the provincial and graphical:
Trader Joe’s opening - a photoset on Flickr
Significant because it’s yet another adventure in foodies causing unbelievable lines for something that’s not as good as Twinkies and hot dogs - and because I’m loving the concept of $3 wine bottles. Which will go nice dining al-fresco with my Shack […]

He’s Just Not Into Her
