Michael Cera!

Michael Cera!

I curse the cancellation of "Arrested Development".

That is all.

And to the previous poster's point, I read another review that goes into some detail about the mishaps that befall at least one of the girls in the movie, so there is some of that. I thought "Mean Girls" captured some of the female high school experience, although I can only speak to its tangential points, since I was most assuredly *not* one of the Beautiful People. Actually, so did "Never Been Kissed" and in some ways "10 Things I Hate About You" in the way they handled the happy dorks, the desperate-to-not-be-dorks-dorks, the sensitive literature nerds, and the Angry Grrrls.

As tough as it is to understand why Branagh wants to direct movie versions of every single one of Shakespeare's plays

Seriously? Are you kidding with this? Because they're incredible stories!

Plus, Branagh has the most incredible eye for color of any modern director. He works magic with those plays, think of the opening scene(s) of "Much Ado About Nothing", first with the Messinans on top of the hill overlooking the vineyard, all bronze skin and white blouses, then with the soldiers returning from war with their white and royal-blue leather uniforms. Oh! Spectacular!

If he would only turn his head towards "The Tempest", I can die a happy girl.

Wow, I felt like I was reading Penthouse Forum, especially the first one where she had to bend over the bed!

Kinky!

Gordon Ramsay's BBC show is also called Ramsay's Kitchen Nightmares, and I quite like it. He is very gruff and does drop a lot of f-bombs, but the one I just saw was fantastic, and it was clear that he had a lot of affection and respect for the owner and her head chef (it was, oddly enough, an American soul-food restaurant in Brighton, Mamma Cherri's.)

They actually turned into an enormous success after his initial visit, so much so that when he went back they were overextended and wound up falling back into bad habits so he (gruffly but lovingly) pointed them back on track.

The thing with him on that show is, if the people running the show are ignorant, insufferable, egomaniacal assholes, he'll be one right back to them. On the other hand, if he thinks they're on the level, have good food and a good idea, and really *want* honest criticism, he'll be very direct (uncomfortably so) but will in the end be much more respectful and appreciative of their efforts and outcome.

Hahahahaha! That's a keeper!

Anybody remember the B.C. comic that had an outhouse with an Islami crescent on it? And the extra panel where it said "SLAM!" in a way that looked like "ISLAM!" Basically it was a comic saying that Islam was crap. That pretty much sums up the tact and goodheartedness of the Christian faith.

I'm not sure if this was meant to be tongue-in-cheek, but having grown up in a very rural part of my state, I can tell you that almost all outhouses have a cutout on the door, usually a crescent moon. I don't know where you pulled that one out of, but I promise you it has nowt to do with Islam.

Oshkosh (naturally!) has a great line that they sell through Target (and probably elsewhere, I just find them at Target) of mix-and-match clothing: pants, tops, dresses, sweaters, jeans, tiny little cargo shorts, everything, all with complimentary colors so you can just grab a bunch of things off the rack and they'll all look insanely adorable. My baby cousin has a fat little bum and a fat little belly and their jeans fit her beautifully (their cotton trousers not so much) and of course they have an elastic waist like all baby clothing should.

These guys have been making chidren's clothing since time immemorial. I say stick with the experts.

(Full disclosure: I am a huge fan of dressing little boys like old men, preferably in madras, and my tiny baby cousin is already a clothes-horse at the age of two. When she opened my Christmas presents last year she shouted "Look mama! Pants!" and insisted on wearing the entire ensemble -- embroidered jeans, a floral tank tunic, and a belted sweater with glittery thread.)

I don't think the issue is so much that the jeans were not cut to fit a baby, but that the jeans were designed to make a baby look sexually available.

Don't overstate your case. Babies bodies are what they are, no matter what ridiculous clothing you try and cram them into. Anyone who thinks that ill-fitting jeans make a baby look "sexually available" has a screw loose.

The issue is that the jeans weren't "designed" at all -- they were cheaply made crap, just like all the other cheap crap that we import.

Instead of paying the money to have a separate designer for baby clothing, and in particular to avoid spending the money to have separate machinery for cutting the patterns for baby clothing, the "designer" merely shrank the pattern for their teenager-sized jeans, and reduced the template on the machine that cuts out fabric. Stamp stamp, sew sew, ship ship -- voila, baby jeans at a 1000% markup.

I do think there is a time for youthful experimentation to end

Why? Well I guess it stops being "youthful" when a person stops being a youth, but why must the experiementation end?

Those adorable overalls by Oshkosh (or any label) are a nightmare for young children, they make changing a diaper/going to the potty more trouble than you can possibly imagine.

All the baby overalls I've seen have snaps up the insides of the legs so you just pull the legs apart basically at the seams to get the diaper off/on.

Distributing patient medical records to "non covered entities", i.e. people who do not require access to those records to do their jobs (clinicans, medical office administration, billers, and insurance reviewers) is a violation of Federal law (HIPAA).
