you poor thing cord! tucson is a shithole. if you feel like driving a couple of hours you can come to chandler and hang out with me.

You are confused! That is normal behavior anywhere even in your precious NYC so get over the fact that most Americans are not from NY or LA. Shocker! The reason most southerners hate NYCers is because of this pointed nose in the air behavior. Look at yourselves. I mean yall let Donald Trump in you city so you can't be all that great.

why the hell are you in tucson watching tennis matches anyways?

lay off cord koooooooo, i live in arizona and i'd much rather be in NYC than tucson. you must have no idea how crappy tucson is. plus, you can't blame the guy for wanting to go home.

Bogart and Hepburn
Tom and Meg
Billy and Meg
Tom and Julia?

Bogart and Hepburn win this one hands down.

Hey Cord… On your way back to NYC, swing through Indiana and you can stop by our New Year's Eve Party. I promise there will be no farm animals involved.

There is a difference, Cord. You're much more surly, and I'm willing to bet you look better in pink.

and he gets paid to talk about it instead of just talking about it so you don't have to watch your kid play tennis.

this post made me lol!

Yeah, speaking of which… when will someone start paying us?

Oh, wait… I guess someone does. To sit at this computer. And pretend to work. Shhhhhhhh, janice.

As to what's happening to you, Cord… it's called "becoming mature and responsible." I don't think there's a cure.

I came down with a bad case about 9 years ago. I don't have nearly as much fun now as I did prior but there is much less chance of me going to jail or the morgue now.

you can always have a mid-life crisis sugar, it worked for my mom.

I may be a mother who loves her gossip, but I would never have that conversation. Julia and Tom in a movie together sounds about as exciting as watching amoeba split. I'd rather see a movie about that. Amoeba's are hot.

Yay. Slow news days make for better posts.
You are not like them.. because that would mean that I'm like them. And I don't want to be. You have to hear about movie stars everywhere, anyways, so educating oneself on the ploys and critisizing the system is a positive thing…
PS
You missed an "is" in the second line of the third paragraph.

Do they sell those at Costco demios?

tom hanks is fucking boring! you hear me? booooorrrrinnnngg!

yeah but you have to buy them in bulk sugar, that's how they get you.

Tom Hanks had Wayne Newton hair in, The Davinci Code. It was frizztastic. I can't wait for someone to tell us how great he is and how much he does for, blah, blah, blah. Sorry for taking your name in gossip, blah.

That would be perfect for my mother-in-law deimos… She could buy one for each of her personalities!

and you could keep one for yourself, everybody wins!

Why didn't I know about this BEFORE Christmas!?

But now you can get the after Christmas sale price. Score!

Cord, may I remind you that you are at a tennis club. A tennis club…Really? Are you also drinking an iced tea and wearing clothes from Benneton? The consumption by the machine has already started my friend. Get out while you still have a soul and before you buy a tennis outfit complete with matching headband and wristbands.

Leave it to blah to bring it on home. Maybe try somewhere else for a better conversation. But I really would like to see Cord in tiny tennis shorts.

pink tennis shorts, that would be priceless.

Yeah, me too. Cord is is the best-looking guy on this site.

I'd prefer white shorts and tight pink top. A real man is never afraid to where pink.

bye hags! talk to you on wed.

Have a safe and happy New Year Dei

Get crazy hag. Do us proud.

I believe the correlation between you and these pretend tennis playing nordstrom shopping stay-at-home-and-spend-all-your-husband's-money moms is very similar to the commonalities that exist in our ford-truck-driving, hard-working-american, let's-go-kill-some-towel-heads
because-jesus-is-the-one-and-only-savior idiots and the middle east's suicide-bombing, don't-make-fun-of-allah-or-I'll-blow-up-a-subway, death-to-the-devil-western-world jackasses. So, yeah, sorry. It's just like how I really did turn into my mother.

Holla, I realized not too long ago that I was turning into my mother, as she always threatened would happen, and I decided it wasn't such a bad thing. The primary differences between us, of course, are that I'm sluttier and have better hair .

Well if everyone was as cool as you are, you wouldnt seem so cool.

Cord, the difference lies in the fact that you have these moments of introspection, and that you actually care about whether or not you sound like that, which you don't, by the way.

In defense of southerners, I live in the south. Granted I'm not from here, but I have found many like minded people to befriend here. I don't think they'd be upset if I spoke up for all of us and said that Julia Roberts and Tom Hanks appearing in the same movie is twice the reason to refuse to see it.

Mm, this makes me curious: why did someone like Cord get into the gossip biz anyways? Any guesses?

Those are some true words Lily. Tom and Julia together sound like the most boring porn couple, ever.

I'm typing from Tucson right now and Tucson is nice.

jujubees, they could make a fortune creating porn for insomniacs.

Produced and directed by George Clooney. Directed by Brad Pitt.

Wait, we only need one director. Where's Matt Damon. This movie will kill sex.

Narrated by Ben Stein

Catered by Taco Bell.

My apologies for calling you a chirping prattling twit in the post that precedes this one.

Cord..you must be in your early twenties…or just not comfortable in your own skin yet. RA sushi is in Tucson love. Maybe get out of your chair in front of that computer and see the world. If you are truly cool you can find an interesting time anywhere.

Here is the thing that I have been thinking…
How do we know that these lovelies aren't reading Mollygood? They could read it, or their kids could tell them about this site. You never know. They might be related to someone who reads Mollygood. Septuagenarians have feelings too.

You added more to this (I call them "articles") post since I read it Friday.

A nice bottle of wine and a fillet, sounds good to me. Well, and a ceasar salad would be nice, but who am I to quibble? Is he single? Find out o.k.

(Tell "Better" to get lost. We'll find our own singles.)

Oh yeah, and if he is single, tell him I have the executive gold membership at Cosco. That's RIGHT.
Mmmm.

cord- a few questions:
Ever heard of the shipping industry? or do you think people who don't live on the coast do not have access to fish? how do you think fish/meat/vegetables get to manhattan? walked over via sherpas from the farms in central park or fished from the piers? do you really believe there are no UNcool people in NYC and no cool people elsewhere? are all of your daily conversations profoundly deep and meaningful? is writing for a gossip site intellectually challenging and important? lastly- do you believe you'll never be a septuagenarian? and when you do get old, do you think you'll retain your *cool and smug superiority* and such will be recognized by the young and hip? you need to evolve and lose the notion that somehow you were born forever hip and relevant.

My hips will always be relevant.

I would just like to weigh in on the whole sushi debate. Here are my points:

1) Us regulations require that many fish be frozen to ward off parasites. But sometimes people freeze for convenience.

2)The longer meats freeze, the more water that leeches out of them. Including fish.

3) That being said, big costal cities usually get the pick of the litter when it comes to fish.

4) Also, big restaurants and those known for fish are also up there on the list for the most choice fish of the catch.

5) Big cities have been doing sushi for longer, and face, in my opinion, a more discriminating customer, so there are higher standards (customers are more discriminating because of the options available to them. If there are only 2 sushi places in your town, how can you know if they are both good? What are you comparing them to?) they must live up to.

6)I almost ate at a RA in Vegas. But my idea of a good sushi restaurant is smaller, quiter and not so trendy.

7) It was a joke. The premise was perhaps shakey (there may be a few good sushi restaurants, but I would guess, like 3 - which is more than the emphatic none.), but it was joke nonetheless.

As an aside to Dawn F - I guess you don't really read this site often - this whole post was kind of a joke, chill.

But I am annoyed by your barrage of questions. A litany of rhetorical questions is a lazy man's rhetocial device (that is giving you the benefit of the doubt and assuming you didn't think Cord would actually answer you). And I may be projecting, but I gather that you think your points are relevant, smart and, somehow, witty? I hate to disabuse you of those notions, but I feel I must.

And so, because I am annoyed and bored, I will answer each of your questions in turn. I have been reading here for a while and I too live in NY, so I will humbly answer for Cord as best I can.

1)Ever heard of the shipping industry? My guess is that he as indeed heard of it. Or at least seen trucks, paid shipping and handling or gotten some imported delicacy from china town. I get what you are trying to do here - but it is sort of an unsophisticated point. He knows, and you know he knows, about the "shipping industry." And he knows you know he knows. So this question is not only boring, but it is useless in a reasoned argument.

2) or do you think people who don’t live on the coast do not have access to fish? Ah, he said good sushi. He didn't touch upon access to fish. You are incorrectly applying a particular to a general class. I bet he has bought frozen fish from Trader Joe's. It is delicious. But then again, a fried fillet is not sushi. Which is my point vis a vis your question.

3)how do you think fish/meat/vegetables get to manhattan? Local farmers as well as purveyors from overseas and around the country. This question is sort of immaterial since he knows about the "shipping industry" - something you assumed for your "gotcha" moment in your first Q (that is where the sarcasm of it stems from). But anyways, planes trains and automobiles. Oh and sometimes ships.

4)walked over via sherpas from the farms in central park or fished from the piers? Is this supposed to be funny? Because it isn't. Not at all. Work on your sarcasm. I mean why sherpa? How about "lil' Jim Bob from the Sawyer homestead in Central Park" or perhaps "ferried over from Ma's garden in New Jersey." (Because NJ is the garden state. Layers!)

5) do you really believe there are no UNcool people in NYC and no cool people elsewhere? Short answer, no. Long answer, you are making up, out of whole cloth, an assertion that was never espoused by Cord. Hell, he thinks he is cooler than 90% of NYC, so clearly, if you have ever read this site before, he doesn't think there are no uncool people in NYC. Conversely, he is not from the city, and thinks himself awesome, so clearly he thinks there ARE cool people out of the city. Sidenote, talking about relative "coolness" is pretty lame. Or as you would say "uncool." Especially when the subject was never broached. So try not to be an example of a sterotype you are railing against. It weakens your point.

6) are all of your daily conversations profoundly deep and meaningful? Uh, what are you reading, because I am reading a gossip site. One that is more interesting and nuanced than others, sure, but still it is just goss. Also, I am sure this site doesn't reflect upon the entirety of his conversations. That is a ridiculous proposition for you to insinuate. Also, it is one of those stupid "answer yes or no" questions from third grade where both answers are undesirable. Like "do your parents know you are an asshole." Answer yes, you are an asshole, answer no, you are still an asshole. This is a pretty low level argumentitive technique.

7) is writing for a gossip site intellectually challenging and important? No. Cord has said this many times. As a matter of fact he said it **in this post.** Are you really arguing that because you don't have an important job, that your opinions are less valid, or you are less able to pass judgment on matters of taste? I mean, if you are asserting that - your whole post is moot. Because, dear lady, I would bet that more people in NYC have more improtant and intellectually challenging jobs than you do - I will go so far as to say than most of Tuscon. So NYC gets to judge matters of taste and you/Tuscon don't. Erego, Cord is right, and you are wrong, because he is voicing the opinion of many in NYC. I would like to state for the record that I believe that even though you do not have an intellectually challenging or important job, you can still have the opinion that other people are more vacuous and have a wrong opinion. Especially when they love Julia Roberts.

8)lastly- do you believe you’ll never be a septuagenarian? Um, I think you have issues. Because Cord never said anything like that. He doesn't hate septagenarians, he just likes using big words. Further, belief in ageing does not correlate to not thinking that these old biddies had no taste. I believe in ageing and I believe that they are wrong. I also believe that not all elderly share their opinion. Thus, disagreeing with these particular seppies does not equate to distaste (in general, but I don't have time to explain that disagreeing with an opinion doesn't automatically equate to dislike of the opinion holder) for them all. Nor does it mean that one does not believe in ageing.

9) and when you do get old, do you think you’ll retain your *cool and smug superiority* and such will be recognized by the young and hip? Yes. Cord is kind of a dick, so he will always be smug and superior. Coolness, on the other hand, is subjective, and Cord is aware of this. Conversely, good taste is timeless, and so he will never be the one lauding Julia Roberts with his friends. You see that is a fault in taste, not a lack of knowledge of current trends. So he will likely retain a *tasteful and smug superiority*.

In closing, it is not what you said, but that you did it so poorly. You pretty much did a disservice to your cause. Which I gather is "Save the Tuscon Septegenaians from Cool and Smug Superiority"?

Wow Lisa, The very next time I have to submit a motion to show cause or a responsive declaration, I am getting you. Wow.

Hope you are having a Happy New Years Eve qc!

To shit#1-
you put a lot of time into your attack. thanks! i had a few extra minutes on break from my unchallenging job and my intellectually unchallenging female social life in tucson and thought i'd write a lame comment in order to see if i existed sufficiently to incite a heated response. thanks for the attention. i think i love you.

"Erego" to you too!
"Dawn"
(p.s. I am actually your boss and have been monitoring your computer to see how you actually spend your time)

Happy New Year cooter!!!

To dearest Dawn Forster, I am soooo sorry that you did not get time off for the holidays like Shit#1 did. Maybe as you progress up in your company, and aren't the low man on the totem pole any longer, you will get time off at the holidays, like Shit#1 does. Don't hate on Shit#1 cause you haven't reached those places yet. You will eventually. Keep at it, and you too can get there.

By the way, you'll need to loose your stinky attitude though. I'm just saying. I LOVE shit#1 with all my heart, so there you go.

actually i am only 11 so i don't have a job yet and we are on school break so i don't even have homework. my mom's assistant reads this site so my friends and i thought we'd have fun with it to piss her off. i didn't think anyone would answer. you guys must be really bored. and in aspen, which is land-locked, we have some really great sushi. kenichi is really great and those sophisticated big city people that arrive via private jet like it too. we eat there a few nights a week. when i grow up and have a job i hope i will get days off just like you guys.

Oh Dawn Forester, you kids really fooled me!

I hope you got everything you wanted from Santa. Now off to bed. It's late and I can't take "no"
for an answer. Your Mom will be home soon and you need to be asleep. Be a good child. If you fall asleep soon, I'll bet you can have some sushi for lunch. Kisses, queencrone.

Everyone, be really quiet for a few minutes, Dawn is almost asleep. They really DO look like angels when they are sleeping.

Where do her parents keep the weed?

If I have to hear Julia Roberts saying, " Charlie!" one more time on the damn tv commercial, I may kill. Its worse then Meg Ryan's , " I messed up baby, but I'm fighting my way back" commercial. God help me……..I need a life!

Dawn, and I thought you couldn't get more pathetic. You take the time to write and expect no one will answer you - what low self esteem you have. Awwwww. I could go through and, again, point out all the inanities in your posts (Pretending to be a boss? Pretending to be 11? Needing attention from a gossip site? Ouch, I am embarassed for you.) but I don't have the time to spell check my messy typing. Sort of like you don't have the time to capatalize (you know, while we are pointing out errors in English. Also, I misspelled aging.).
