Play only the E minor seventh and the C chord on the one. Then add ridiculous guitar riffing to it including dramatic string bends at the end. Now convince millions of people that you are engaging in an artistic endeavor by schmaltzing it up by latching onto the political cause of the day.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As Totalfarker 433 noted:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Classical shredding + orchestra works about the same way as&lt;br /&gt;dinosaurs + office environent = funny.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Only, the latter equation is enjoyable sometimes."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But the members of TSO are no strangers to unnecessary displays of near-foolish levels of rock excess for excess sake.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;From Savatage's website:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Q: Why did Steve use three bass drums?  Did he actually play all three?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt; A: Steve worked on the philosophy that more is better, so if one bass drum is good, two are great, than three must be even better. During the POTN all three were used, the third one on the right used by a slave pedal. It proved to be overkill, so on all subsequent tours it was there for looks only. During the Gutter tour the inner head had a bull’s eye drawn on it, for the purpose of testing aiming abilities when he was spitting.

To be honest, I'm downright squeamish about it. Unfortunately, the subject matter at hand outs me as someone who has to deal with being "up on blocks" for a few days a month. Even worse, I have to admit to buying Libra Invisible &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0"&gt;BodyFit&lt;/span&gt; Pads. Now, I really don't want to get into the hows and whys of my choice of feminine protection, I will simply say that most women would rather buy some extra insurance than risk having that "Carrie" moment we all know and dread.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now that I have awkwardly explained why I am in possession of sanitary napkins, let's examine why they are blog-worthy:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://bp3.blogger.com/_kVFy2J26Yyo/R0u94nC0NqI/AAAAAAAAABg/MYVLFjNlL_Q/s1600-h/Photo+3.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://bp3.blogger.com/_kVFy2J26Yyo/R0u94nC0NqI/AAAAAAAAABg/MYVLFjNlL_Q/s320/Photo+3.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5137408580197299874" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Oh, look how cute and stylish.

Also, to the &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2"&gt;wiseass&lt;/span&gt; who decided to call these maxi-pad factoids "Odd Spots", while I normally applaud such irreverence, I'm going to withhold my kudos this time.

She was ridiculously hot in a Gaul-ish kind of way and was, of course, out of my league. Chance encounters on campus and an odd connection between an old man in a Dunkin Donuts and her mother were all I had to fuel my tiny hope that one day that we’d make a connection and that awesome body would ride me like a Harley on a bad piece of road. I couldn’t even remember her name the day I ran into her while walking out of the Cherry Hill Mall. I just remembered that she dated some drummer and dug musicians. One of the first things she said to me was that she finally kicked heroin but her boyfriend was still using. &lt;/p&gt;      &lt;p style="font-family: arial;" class="MsoNormal"&gt;My incredulity at her sudden admission of a heroin addiction was complete. My mouth ran by itself. She showed me her trackless arms with an enthusiasm I had never seen in an ex-junkie and she proudly proclaimed she had never fucked a drug dealer in exchange for his wares. She even rolled up her jacket instead of taking it off. How do you stick a gold star on that and where do you hang it on your refrigerator?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="font-family: arial;" class="MsoNormal"&gt;My mouth kept on running, obnoxiously asking probing questions, my mind locked away saying, “HOLY SHIT” over and over again.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;!--[endif]--&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;span style=";font-family:&amp;quot;;font-size:12;"  &gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;Somehow I disengaged and walked away but fuck man, seriously?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/940105307178686763-842723851655951957?l=aggregatedandaggravated.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://aggregatedandaggravated.blogspot.com/feeds/842723851655951957/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=940105307178686763&amp;postID=842723851655951957' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/940105307178686763/posts/default/842723851655951957'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/940105307178686763/posts/default/842723851655951957'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://aggregatedandaggravated.blogspot.com/2007/11/why-are-you-telling-me-about-your.html' title='Why are you telling me about your heroin addiction?'/><author><name>velocityofme</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://bp1.blogger.com/_sgMhK3p8jOA/R0sSvCso_hI/AAAAAAAAADg/CR4ql5CAah4/s72-c/heroin_3d_mid.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-940105307178686763.post-7848164666775226526</id><published>2007-11-25T14:08:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2007-11-25T14:13:50.653-08:00</updated><title type='text'>Coming soon: Indentured Servitude for the Nintendo DS</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://bp1.blogger.com/_4iM8frD404Y/R0ny8mKoRcI/AAAAAAAAAAc/sRoxuNuBKVM/s1600-h/games_for_girls.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://bp1.blogger.com/_4iM8frD404Y/R0ny8mKoRcI/AAAAAAAAAAc/sRoxuNuBKVM/s400/games_for_girls.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5136903972843963842" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/940105307178686763-7848164666775226526?l=aggregatedandaggravated.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://aggregatedandaggravated.blogspot.com/feeds/7848164666775226526/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=940105307178686763&amp;postID=7848164666775226526' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/940105307178686763/posts/default/7848164666775226526'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/940105307178686763/posts/default/7848164666775226526'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://aggregatedandaggravated.blogspot.com/2007/11/coming-soon-indentured-servitude-for.html' title='Coming soon: Indentured Servitude for the Nintendo DS'/><author><name>Indefensible</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/10144656260410917679</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://bp1.blogger.com/_4iM8frD404Y/R0ny8mKoRcI/AAAAAAAAAAc/sRoxuNuBKVM/s72-c/games_for_girls.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-940105307178686763.post-7236553779939899184</id><published>2007-11-23T08:42:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2007-11-23T11:12:19.116-08:00</updated><title type='text'>BE IT KNOWN!

Feel free to ignore it.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Blur's second album came out at around the peak of my love affair with music. I spent so much of my meagre income on music in that year that at one stage I had to eat nothing but baked potatoes for a month because I had about 28 bucks left to my name. Everything else was spent on music. No lie.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;I had previously loved Blur's first album &lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Leisure&lt;/span&gt; and had introduced as many people to it as I could. I requested tracks from it at indie dance clubs, and then stared at my feet and shuffled when they came on. I bought copies of magazines with promo pictures of the band in them. I took seriously an article in the NME that said they were the next Jesus and Mary Chain. I drank the Kool-Aid.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Then &lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Modern Life is Rubbish&lt;/span&gt; was released, and I absolutely hated it. Noisy, ponderous and self-important, I thought. Not good to dance to, I thought. No hypercolour artwork, I thought. I listened to it at friends' houses a couple of times, and then promptly decided it was shit and never listened to it again until around 2001.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;It was only then that I realised that this is one of those rare things - an actually good album. It sounds as good today in 2007 as it did when I gave it another chance in 2001. And as good as it did in 1993 when I was too foolish to recognise it. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;What prompted me to write this? Well I recently went through all the music in my collection and realised that in my travels I have lost this LP somewhere. All of a sudden I had a massive craving to listen to the album track Villa Rosie, a song simultaneously maudlin and uplifting. And I realised at that point just how good this album is - I was jonesing to hear track 11 on a 14-year-old record.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;That is a good sign. So, give it a listen. I rebought it on iTunes and am loving every second of it.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/940105307178686763-4305909902116136373?l=aggregatedandaggravated.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://aggregatedandaggravated.blogspot.com/feeds/4305909902116136373/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=940105307178686763&amp;postID=4305909902116136373' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/940105307178686763/posts/default/4305909902116136373'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/940105307178686763/posts/default/4305909902116136373'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://aggregatedandaggravated.blogspot.com/2007/11/modern-life-is-rubbish-re-evaluated.html' title='Modern life is rubbish - re-evaluated'/><author><name>Indefensible</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/10144656260410917679</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-940105307178686763.post-6107232027393851213</id><published>2007-11-19T22:01:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2007-11-19T22:04:09.978-08:00</updated><title type='text'>That Automan font is awesome.</title><content type='html'>&lt;img src="http://myskitch.com/indefensible/image_string2.jpg_-_wikipedia__the_free_encyclopedia-20071120-170324.jpg" alt="Image:String2.jpg - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia"/&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;The typeface that they use in the credits in the YouTube thing below is kick-arse.

I mean Sir Paul is wealthy. He could have had his pick of a lot of women. Even, I assume, a lot of amputees, if that's his things. But he chose old crazy Heather. I assume it's because she's kinda hot, kinda odd, and reminds him a little of that other bird he used to bone lots and lots. And that she is kinky. I remember reading that when she lost her leg, she got her then boyfriend to stoink her in the hospital, in a somewhat Cronenbergesque manner.&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Anyhoo, the reason I bring this up is because of this pic on my local &lt;a href="http://www.theage.com.au/news/world/why-dont-you-drink-rats-milk/2007/11/20/1195321727412.html"&gt;newspaper&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Ok, Mills is crazy. She wants us to drink rat's milk (which as we all know is called &lt;a href="http://egalwaat.lu/pics/malk2.jpg"&gt;Malk&lt;/a&gt;). &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;But is there any chance that out of the dozens of pics that AP had for this event that they might have been able to choose one that doesn't make her look like a mong baby?&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Of course there were better pics. This leads me to the happy conclusion that being a pictorial editor at an online newspaper is just one long game of 'let's make people we don't like look ugly'. This is one of my favourite sports, and so now I want that job.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/940105307178686763-8153923488530127045?l=aggregatedandaggravated.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://aggregatedandaggravated.blogspot.com/feeds/8153923488530127045/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=940105307178686763&amp;postID=8153923488530127045' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/940105307178686763/posts/default/8153923488530127045'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/940105307178686763/posts/default/8153923488530127045'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://aggregatedandaggravated.blogspot.com/2007/11/i-wish-i-was-picture-editor-for-online.html' title='I wish I was a picture editor for an online newspaper'/><author><name>Indefensible</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/10144656260410917679</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-940105307178686763.post-1671824908677893182</id><published>2007-11-18T16:57:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2007-11-18T17:07:21.914-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='culture'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='idiocy'/><title type='text'>When did we all get together and vote on this 'right'?</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://myskitch.com/indefensible/loading_miss_landmine_-_news-20071119-115413.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px;" src="http://myskitch.com/indefensible/loading_miss_landmine_-_news-20071119-115413.jpg" border="0" alt="" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;I don't know if you can read that little caption there, but according to the organisers of &lt;a href="http://www.miss-landmine.org/misslandmine_news.html"&gt;Miss Landmine Angola 2008&lt;/a&gt;, everyone has the right to be beautiful. &lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Sounds nice, doesn't it? &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Unfortunately it's hogshit. I wish it were true though, because rights infer responsibilities. And if you have the right to be beautiful, then you have a responsibility to be not ugly, and that is something I can get behind.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;This is going to be something of a problem though because I am not generally aroused by chicks who have been dismembered (though I would pay good money to see some watersport porn featuring Heather Millcartney). &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;So where does that leave me? Am I denying some woman named Eileen the right to be beautiful if I find her repulsive? I am not saying that this will keep me awake at night, but it might give me some strange dreams.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;I guess what I am saying is ugly people are ugly people and that is true even if you step on a landmine.

He's been part of my cultural landscape since his bit on Happy Days where he was Gazoo to Richie Cunningham's Fred Flintstone. &lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;I recently described the manic dwarf in a letter to the editor of The Age as 'comedy's equivalent of Rod Stewart -- a raging fire sadly harnessed only to warm old turds.' But I have noticed another pattern to his career. I have noticed that he plays a lot of roles that would otherwise go to Morgan Freeman.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;That's right. Robin Williams is the white &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magical_Negro"&gt;Magical Negro&lt;/a&gt;.  In fact he's the Magical Negro you have when you don't want to cast a black guy in your film at all.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Don't believe me? Look at the trailer for &lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: italic;"&gt;August Rush&lt;/span&gt; and listen to the blithering nonsense that he's spouting in it. Put him in overalls and on death row and he could be played by Michael Clark Duncan. Look at &lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Dead Poet's Society&lt;/span&gt; and tell me that isn't just &lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: italic;"&gt;To Sir, With Love&lt;/span&gt;, set in a rich kids school where you kill yourself because daddy didn't see your stirring rendition of 'Mister Tumnus as a young rump-stumper'. Also, with no black people. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;It's long been my opinion that Morgan Freeman must have business cards with 'Have gravitas, will peddle' on them. Well I hope Morgan has plenty of cash in the bank , because when central casting realises Williams can play God, Freeman is fucked.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Coda: I have been thinking about this a lot and have realised that in &lt;/span&gt;What Dreams May Come,&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: italic;"&gt; he plays up against an ACTUAL Magical Negro in the form of Cuba Gooding Junior as God. I may have to rewatch this technicolor shitstorm just to get a handle on what happens when matter and antimatter collide.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/940105307178686763-1151706368260788488?l=aggregatedandaggravated.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://aggregatedandaggravated.blogspot.com/feeds/1151706368260788488/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=940105307178686763&amp;postID=1151706368260788488' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/940105307178686763/posts/default/1151706368260788488'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/940105307178686763/posts/default/1151706368260788488'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://aggregatedandaggravated.blogspot.com/2007/11/robin-williams-magical-negro.html' title='Robin Williams: Magical negro'/><author><name>Indefensible</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/10144656260410917679</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-940105307178686763.post-7833915655305615784</id><published>2007-11-14T13:51:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2007-11-16T17:35:51.152-08:00</updated><title type='text'>The Origins of Bai Ling</title><content type='html'>&lt;span style=";font-family:arial;font-size:130%;"  &gt;Ok, so yesterday I stumbled across&lt;a href="http://whatclaudiawore.blogspot.com/"&gt; this&lt;/a&gt; blog which catapulted me into a frenzy of nostalgia for the fashion of my tween years. The purple fashion prose used in The Babysitters Club books has set many a young girl on the road to becoming a fashion-obsessed woman who rates her daily happiness by the perfection of her outfit. (I happily admit to belonging to this camp, even though my affliction manifests itself in the more OCD manner of simply needing to &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;font-family:arial;font-size:130%;"  &gt;aquire &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=";font-family:arial;font-size:130%;"  &gt;more clothes, never mind putting them together in any stylish way. I blame Barbie and the unattainable vastness of her wardrobe.)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Anyway, after devouring every blog post on "what claudia wore", I had an epiphany. Let me illustrate it in images for you:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div  style="text-align: center;font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;font-family:arial;" &gt;Claudia Kishi:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a style="font-family: arial;" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://bp0.blogger.com/_kVFy2J26Yyo/Rztyk2WEsXI/AAAAAAAAAAM/mLnaGB9BzOU/s1600-h/ClaudiaBSC.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://bp0.blogger.com/_kVFy2J26Yyo/Rztyk2WEsXI/AAAAAAAAAAM/mLnaGB9BzOU/s320/ClaudiaBSC.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5132822177707766130" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=";font-family:arial;font-size:130%;"  &gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ok, so the illustrators never did Claudia justice on the covers. I'll give you a description straight from the book, in the fashion icon's own words:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;font-family:arial;font-size:130%;"  &gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:georgia;"&gt;&lt;span style=";font-family:arial;" &gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;"At the moment I'm wearing lavender plaid cuffed pants with suspenders over a green shirt with buttons down the front, a matching lavender beret (and not just because I'm at my easel), and fleece-lined, high-top sneakers which I must admit are uncomfortably hot, but they look great. Also, I've got on earrings shaped like Christmas tree lights that actually blink on and off. I'm not sure why I chose to wear them, since it's nowhere near Christmas, but I love jewelry, like to make my own sometimes, and have pierced ears."&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;...and that one is tame! Now, on to my epiphany:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://bp1.blogger.com/_kVFy2J26Yyo/Rzt0NGWEsYI/AAAAAAAAAAU/iEhOjPSrxw8/s1600-h/bailing1.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://bp1.blogger.com/_kVFy2J26Yyo/Rzt0NGWEsYI/AAAAAAAAAAU/iEhOjPSrxw8/s320/bailing1.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5132823968709128578" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://bp2.blogger.com/_kVFy2J26Yyo/Rzt0NWWEsZI/AAAAAAAAAAc/gJI74FJMkCg/s1600-h/bailing2.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://bp2.blogger.com/_kVFy2J26Yyo/Rzt0NWWEsZI/AAAAAAAAAAc/gJI74FJMkCg/s320/bailing2.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5132823973004095890" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:georgia;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;Now, if you are not suitably impressed by my &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;font-family:arial;" &gt;"Bai Ling is Claudia Kishi all grown up"&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt; theory, let me just inform you that I emailed the ladies who write my favorite blog -Heather and Jessica at &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a style="font-family: arial;" href="http://gofugyourself.typepad.com/"&gt;gofugyourself.com&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt; - to tell them of the fantastic connection my champagne addled brain managed to make.

It's a hilarious adventure in race relations that I'll go into at a later date but for all you white collars out there, if you think your desk hasn't been fucked on then you are sorely mistaken. Personally, I take great pride in having taken a dump in the private bathrooms of the CEO, vice-CEO and IT guy. Additionally, I have touched my sack to the artwork on many walls. Think about that the next time you walk past an expensive piece of artwork in the lobby or hallway of a large piercing symbol of capitalism. At one point, someone could have been giggling maniacally while ball dragging it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I prefer to do it while the painting is on the floor during renovations. It's more degrading to the artist and his art. You aren't violating the painting while it sits majestically where it can be appreciated and worshiped. Finding the painting off to the side, where it has been shunted because functionality has to be addressed and pretty images have no place in an electrical wiring diagram is the kind of sex that you have with nasty girls with father issues that you know is going to lead to all kinds of drama but goddamn SHE BUCKS HER HIPS LIKE A COTTON CANDY MACHINE. In this case, it's an inanimate object and you're touching your balls to the canvas but nonetheless it is exhilarating. Like signing or pissing in a Duchamp, you are part of the art's history.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Tonight's lesson: unmarried Muslim women want dick just like unmarried non-Muslim women. It has taken my co-worker all of one date with the new girl to have her making out with him and grabbing his dick through his jeans. I have already made him promise me he'll have her wear the burka when he smashes it from behind.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You read it, now you can't unread it.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/940105307178686763-3873081674997042833?l=aggregatedandaggravated.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://aggregatedandaggravated.blogspot.com/feeds/3873081674997042833/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=940105307178686763&amp;postID=3873081674997042833' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/940105307178686763/posts/default/3873081674997042833'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/940105307178686763/posts/default/3873081674997042833'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://aggregatedandaggravated.blogspot.com/2007/11/minimum-wage-maxiumum-damage-trials-and.html' title='Minimum Wage, Maxiumum Damage- the trials and tribulations of a part-time janitor'/><author><name>velocityofme</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-940105307178686763.post-367465652858100002</id><published>2007-11-11T22:20:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2007-11-12T18:28:10.509-08:00</updated><title type='text'>Together at last!</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://bp0.blogger.com/_4iM8frD404Y/RzkLo-8ie6I/AAAAAAAAAAM/J-m4nX2CMLY/s1600-h/IMG_0007.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://bp0.blogger.com/_4iM8frD404Y/RzkLo-8ie6I/AAAAAAAAAAM/J-m4nX2CMLY/s320/IMG_0007.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5132146049084980130" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;Here, enjoy this coffee, but please chew some gum straight away because we wouldn't want you to smell like you just had a coffee!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Have a nice day!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/940105307178686763-367465652858100002?l=aggregatedandaggravated.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://aggregatedandaggravated.blogspot.com/feeds/367465652858100002/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=940105307178686763&amp;postID=367465652858100002' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/940105307178686763/posts/default/367465652858100002'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/940105307178686763/posts/default/367465652858100002'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://aggregatedandaggravated.blogspot.com/2007/11/together-at-last.html' title='Together at last!'/><author><name>Indefensible</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/10144656260410917679</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://bp0.blogger.com/_4iM8frD404Y/RzkLo-8ie6I/AAAAAAAAAAM/J-m4nX2CMLY/s72-c/IMG_0007.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-940105307178686763.post-5294146435430002166</id><published>2007-11-06T22:39:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2007-11-06T22:41:05.645-08:00</updated><title type='text'>I have begun a new work out routine</title><content type='html'>From SomethingAwful.com&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"EVERY MORNING I WAKE UP AND OPEN PALM SLAM A VHS INTO THE SLOT.

At best, I think it's a way to keep bogans entertained and off the ski slopes during winter. However, I can admit to a growing interest in it now that the entire Ben Cousins fiasco continues to get better and better. Last we heard from our hero he was dressing like a rock star and text messaging bitches from the dock in court a couple of weeks ago. As my female friends said 'He is so fucking hot'.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As demanded by the increasingly Americanised media, he had to go and do his penance in rehab. In Los Angeles. Yeah.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Rehab.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For cocaine use.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In &lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;L.O.S.
