(Actually, to be honest, I wasn’t familiar with Twisty’s blog before Octogalore’s comments drew me there and even then, I mainly read the comments, which are NOT as interesting as the content of the blog itself; now that I’ve read Twisty, I have to say, the lady is amusing, intelligent, quick, and often very spot-on, even if I don’t always agree with everything she says and all implications of her ideas. I am in sympathy in spirit, even if not in practice.) [...] […] I find myself generally more in sympathy with this view than Ren’s view of the matter.

I've never understood why beauty and good looks are regarded as towering accomplishments and not the random genetic flukes that they are. First on the list of awesomeness items: She’s hot.

One of the things I've tried to do is to explain to my twelve-year-old daughter that the site is meant as MOCKERY, not as an instruction manual! And of course there's blameworthy content.

Coincidentally, while relaxing with the dead-tree paper, I wandered by accident into the My Career section. Normally I would toss this bulky wad, with its depressing articles about young billionaires who are all twenty years younger than me, over my shoulder. This time, like someone driving slowly past a car crash, I couldn’t avert my eyes from a book review by Wendy Taylor (whose column is titled “Expert Advice”).

Have a look at www.yourscenesucks.com, if you want a laugh along with a field guide." All I can say is, "I feel old". It is, perhaps, also worth pointing out that there is some blameworthy content on that site. “Heh. Have a look at www.yourscenesucks.com, if you want a laugh along with a field guide.”

Have a look at www.yourscenesucks.com, if you want a laugh along with a field guide. The Mister Rogers sweaters are Prehistoric Emo. The tall skinny boys in tall skinny jeans are the current incarnation. And they'd probably prefer to be called "scene." And they started out by buying their trousers in the womens' section to get suitably close-fitting ones, but now the manufacturers have caught up to the trend, and they're making super-skinny low-rise jeans in men's sizing now. I tried on one pair in the men's-sizing numbers I usually wear, and they fit GREAT, except that they'd been cut with room for a guy's package! Their junk CAN'T be that big. Pfft. And I really liked the striped denim with the zippered calves, too. I'm a fan of tall skinny boys in tall skinny jeans, but after a certain point, I just think they need a sammich. Heh.
