Oh, God, I didn't know there was weightlifting carnage but then I went to look for news and it sounds innocuous but I'll bet since it's weightlifting I'm pretty sure I don't want to see the pictures.

[cleolinda]

Apparently the video is HORRIFYING.

[apocalypsos]

Oh, man, there's HORRIFYING video?! GYAH.

*vows to avoid the weightlifting section of Yahoo's Olympics coverage until further notice*

It's bad--it was downright terrifying to watch it happen before I knew what kind of injury he'd sustained. Afterward? It was just heartbreaking. There was no blood, but his shoulder was dislocated when the bar hit it, and that was pretty ugly. Poor guy. I felt so bad for him.

Okay, I know nothing about Russell Brand, but that quote you included really cracked me up!

And that Spanish team is ridiculous. I saw that on the news last night and was astounded and how epically idiotic they are! I get one person being dumb enough to do that, but a whole team? Really?

Icon love.

...I'm dating a guy who works in the library. :P

[library_of_sex]

Heh, thanks! I made it myself!

Oh no, you're the ones that have been raising such a ruckus over in the stacks! Damn kids! *shakes fist* :P

'Maid in Manhattan' Coming to the Small Screen. You know what? Bring it. It could not possibly be worse than the movie itself.

Cleo, don't you know you're supposed to put "Knock on wood" after saying something like that? It's like when characters in movies/tv say "At least it couldn't get any worse." It always does. It always does! That's why I never say it. By extension, it's also why I never get into elevators with pregnant women.

I LOL'ed at the comment in the article "It's going to be a different maid, in a different Manhattan."
--I want to follow this project if only to find out where this "different Manhattan" is located.

Maid in Manhattan, Kansas! Watch our industrious maid pretend to be a farmer, then a cattle farmer, then a tornado chaser as she tries to woo her men!

[sneaky_minx]

Oh man, I can't think of cattle farming without thinking of the new midget cows. Where's the beef, indeed.

[plazmah]

Pfft. I've been having pop culture dreams since I was six and dreamed that I was Astro Girl. ;P

JULIA CHILD WAS A SPY.

I'm serious.

[cleolinda]

WHAT

[vampirepig13]

I think I read that in an Uncle John's Bathroom Reader. Also, Vidal Sassoon attacked Nazis.

[gornishka]

Isn't it awesome? Although she was on the civilian side as a file clerk and didn't do any field work (Virginia Hall is awesomer).

There's more on her in Sisterhood of Spies and Operatives, Spies, and Saboteurs.[/geek]
