Sometimes I think this is a healthy attitude.
Nnamdi's fixation with turrible hats (and iPhone cases) is starting to become a serious problem. I can respek fashion forward, but now that he's dragging wifey into the mix, it's starting to just get offensive. Look:
I've abandoned free-market principles to save the free-market system. - George W. Bush

I wouldn't recommend traveling with this ornament this holiday season.

I don't even believe in conflict diamonds. That's just a movie. Think about it. Ain't nobody thought about nothing about no conflict diamonds until the movie came out. Where was all that shit before the movie? That's the problem with people - they believe everything they read or see on TV. It's no different from The Blair Witch Project. - Akon

This new Justin Timberlake song posted here (click to listen) by Mr. Jerome has been blazing around my circle of friends. Three of them--Melissa, Munira, and Pooja--are currently fighting amongst each other over who this song belongs to. Their respective reasons:
- Melissa dropped the "L" bomb. Claims she's in love with the song.
- Munira heard the song first and said she's basically dating the song.
- Pooja proclaimed her well known affinity for cheesy songs, ergo she owns this song automatically.
They can't come to an agreement so I leave it in your hands! Take the poll below and cast your vote!

From Farrow Design: Control the direction of the falling snow with your mouse.
100 notables and interesting residents of my Brooklyn neighborhood.
CHARLES BLOW because as the New York Times' visual Op-Ed columnist and an award-winning art director, you bring a decidedly graphic style to that page, a great writing style and a distinctive point of view.JOHN HODGMAN because you play the PC guy in those funny Apple commercials and we love your hilarious, and completely fake, trivia books (“The Areas of My Expertise” and the new “More Information than You Require”), your regular appearances as the resident expert on “The Daily Show with Jon Stewart" and your description of Park Slope as a "utopian commune ruled by children."
LENORE SKENAZY because you did the unthinkable: you let your 8-year-old son ride the subway home from a department store on the Upper East Side. You didn't expect to get hit with a tsunami of criticism from readers. But you did and you handled it well; you even came out to Park Slope to tell the tale.

Photo by Martha Holmes, 1948Who knew Lithuanian soldiers are kind of badasses?
Americans say that the Lithuanians are sort of a weaponized version of Borat, who think nothing of sauntering around a base in nothing but flip-flops and underwear. “They look like mountain men. They never shave, sometimes don’t bathe, and often roll out the gate wearing nothing but body armor and weapons. Not even a t-shirt,” an American soldier told me. The Lithuanians may be a little bit nuts, but the Americans love to have them around because Lithuanians love to fight, and when you need backup, you can count on them.
