Someone please tell me how exactly we as a nation went from mocking Japanese game shows to emulating them? (wweek)
My favorite part about the Jesse Jackson footage on Fox News is that you can pinpoint the exact moment when Bill O'Reilly ejaculates in his pants. (DListed)

After the jump: all you need to know about this clip is that watching it will be the best fucking thing you did today.
Comments
The best fucking thing I did today was devour a Snicker Ice Cream Cone. Sorry Stacey, that clip was good, but not Snickers Ice Cream Cone good.
And I've never had Shoo-Fly Pie, but I know I'd love it. Unlike Sarina, who probably can't even look at those pictures, I loves to eat me some pie.

Is Shoo-Fly Pie sort of like Moose Turd Pie?
Just wondering...

Pes is freaking awesome. All his shorts are totally cool.

You know, as I typed out that link it did cross my mind as to whether or not Sarina would believe in shoo fly pie. It's kind of a beast in itself.
And, I don't know Becky: it depends if Moose Turd Pie something you just made up facetiously to be a wise-ass. Ha ha. It's basically just like, "Molasses Pie." So...?

Why the eff don't big girls get any love? Why is it that schlubby guys make a crack and get laid, while a big girl does it and all the guys are just like "Do not want"? I declare bullshit! I hereby demand that the cover of the next Vanity Fair feature Nikki Blonsky as the meat in a Dwayne Johnson/Matthew Rush sammich!

Never tried Shoo-Fly Pie (There's an old song about it though.), but the "molasses pie" description sounds a lot like pecan pie without the pecans. Anybody 'round these parts (Except for Sarina and her atheistic 'tude towards pies) ever try the old Southern buttermilk pie? There's a place near me that makes them. Yum. I want some right friggin' now.

If it makes you feel better, Jeremy...I love Raven
Symone. Say what you will about her singing, acting, movie choices, whatever...that's one fiiiiine ass girl...

I've had shoo-fly pie many times (grew up with a family who'd come from central PA originally). It is really really sweet, a little bit like pecan pie without the pecans, but more bitter and heavy, with a grainy texture. Something southerners definitely would not go for, I'd say. Nuanced desert flavor is not a southern specialty. I think shoo-fly deserves another try, come to think of it. We only ate it when we were little because nobody would give us sugar in its more concentrated forms (we wanted high fructose corn syrup, fergodssakes!!) so we took it where we could get it. Anyway, it seems like a good thing to try if you're into pie-sperimentation and regional flavors. And pies that really don't require much in the way of fresh ingredients.

Alabamapink, I never had buttermilk pie, but we had chess pie, which always smelled like raw eggs to me. Again, I ate it, but only for the sugar.

In Boston there's a new fancy Southern-style restaurant called Hungry">http://www.hungrymothercambridge.com/">Hungry Mother that makes an amazing buttermilk pie.

Wow I have no idea how I b0rked that link up so badly.
Posted by: twig at July 10, 2008 6:45 PM
Is it me or do ScarJo's boobs look kinda...lopsided. Like, I know girls always say one is bigger, but hers just look bizarre. Is she actually that weirdly-proportioned? Is it just an odd stance? Did the editors try to photoshop her chest and get bored halfway through?
It's the little things that keep me awake at night.

Her right shoulder is dropped a bit and her waist is pushed a little to the left. Pops the right hip out a little, I guess. But no, I find no physical flaws.
So this issue discusses sex? Haw haw. Maybe it's different in having no "Get that ring, you independent woman!" stories.
Have you heard of "The C Spot"? Drives your man wild, ancient Turkish wisdom. Boy, that was a great article, lemme tell ya. Learned things I didn't even know about myself. But if anything is gonna give their game away, it's a headline about how surprisingly dirty "his mind" is. Ladies, you all are filthy and I know you're not unique. Not sayin that's wrong either (I still don't get the Gambit thing. Ragin Cajun in a stupid headband thing throws around cards. But what can ya do?). I'm just stunned by the implication that A: men have really dirty thoughts and B: much dirtier than their counterparts.
Silly, silly hacks.
But no. There is NOTHING WRONG with Scarlett Johansson's breasts. I know things that look big at a distance can end up bigger than you can handle up close, and it's a clumsy but valuable lesson, but from this vantage point that's great candy, and I even like the dress. So thanks, Stacey!

Alabama, I've had buttermilk pie before. It was quite good and very rich. I can also eat a small amount of pecan pie with vanilla ice cream. But shoo fly pie looks like ass in a pie pan so I'll pass.
And I also tend to agree that Scarlett Johannson should, as a general rule, not open her mouth to emit any sounds at all. She really is very pretty to be sure. And it makes me feel bad as a woman, to say that she should just shut up and be decorative. But she kind of reminds me of a blow-up doll - Sorta like Megan Fox. That vacant stare. It frightens me. I saw The Island. She and Michael Bay owe me some cash.

Feh. She is diet cheesecake.
It's still cheesecake but you know you're not getting the full version.
Posted by: Jay at July 10, 2008 7:45 PM
"It's still cheesecake but you know you're not getting the full version.
I'm going to steal a page out of Sarina's book and declare that I do not believe in diet cheesecake (And I suppose, for that matter, Megan Fox).
So when I say I don't believe in it, I don't mean that I disapprove of it. I mean that I do not believe the thing exists, much in the same way that many people do not believe in the existence of life on other planets.
I don't believe in low-fat cheese.
I don't believe in white chocolate. (look it up)

Vosages D'Olivia bar is still delicious.

I don't know if this says something about VF or about Hollywood, but is there seriously but one non-white person in that spread?
Posted by: samantha t at July 11, 2008 7:46 AM
Samantha T, there's 3; Zoe Kravitz and Rob Brown (Finding Forrester). I don't know where Summer Bishil is from, though.
And did Blake Lively really need to be featured 3 times? We get it, she's cute looking. Move on.
I'm also tired of seeing the schlubby guy + hot chick thing. Nathan's right; they would never do that w/ Nikki Blonsky.
Posted by: Brie at July 11, 2008 2:16 PM
Please tell me Zoe Kravitz isn't "Flowers for Zoe" Zoe Kravitz. Could these people rely on their parents more shamelessly? Ugh. I don't care whether somebody's talented - acting gigs are damned hard to get and it pisses me off when some celeb's son or daughter gets a break (Hudson, Kate).

Include me in the shoo-fly pie awesomeness club. You can get them at the Reading Terminal. We always have it for Thanksgiving. Yum.
Posted by: Nicole at July 11, 2008 2:59 PM
What in holy fucking hell is shoo-fly pie? I have a sneaking suspicion I won't believe in it, whatever it turns out to be.
Posted by: Sarina at July 11, 2008 3:12 PM
I just cackled. I shouldn't ever make that particular sound again.
Posted by: Jay at July 11, 2008 3:14 PM
I just looked at that picture. If anyone needs me, I'll be in the corner, vomiting up my own small intestine.
