Once again: The use of the internet for something REALLY important

Namely, a "What Celebrity Would You Most Want To Live Next To?" poll.

Most desirable neighbors (name, percent of people who voted for them)

Angelina Jolie & Brad Pitt, 10

Bright side: You'd get to see Angelina Jolie in person on a regular basis.

Darker side: All those kids...

Jennifer Aniston & Justin Theroux, 9

Hmm. Well, I half agree with this...(no prizes for guessing which half)

Jennifer Lopez, 6

All right, but only on two conditions: That her driveway be really long so I can watch her walk to the door, and that I never have to talk to her.

Beyoncé & Jay-Z, 5

Well, there goes the neighborhood right down the drain...

Nancy Grace, 4

Okay, this is the first one I can say I don't understand at all. Why would anyone possibly...

Kim Kardashian, 4

...y'know, even though I can admit there's a part of me that finds Kim Kardashian sexy (and again, no prizes for guessing which)...there's a bigger part of me that appreciates quick-minded women more than that. So I can't go along with this.

Monroe. Bacall. Grable. Lombard. Lake.

MONROE BACALL GRABLE, a photo by Zellaby on Flickr.

Or: Oh, to have been (lets say) in my late 20s to early 30s; in the 1940s to early 1950s.

Oh, to have been Robert Montgomery.



Oh, to have been a stuffed panth--no, even for the chance of being that close to Veronica Lake, I don't think I'd have wanted to be a stuffed panther.

How To Surround Sound Is Easy

Everybody likes television and everybody likes movies, but if you set your surround sound system up the right way, with a good television, you will enjoy them even more. The centerpiece of any great entertainment system will start with a good high definition television. But once the television is picked out, and we will assume that you are already that far at least, then the surround sound and the way you watch the movies needs to be picked out.

This can mean that you choose either DVD or Blu-ray to watch your movies on. Assuming that you have made the jump to the high definition television, then you may want to make the jump up to Blu-ray. Blu-ray is the absolute best way to watch movies at home, giving the viewer perfect sound and perfect picture. There is no way to get higher definition at home than with a Blu-ray player and if you like to hear and see all of the details and sounds of the movie, you can't get better than Blu-ray.

But if you aren't ready or prepared to upgrade to the higher tech, you can still use an up converting DVD player that gets you near perfect sound and picture. But beyond just what you are going to play the movies and television on, you have to consider what you are going to listen to the movies and television on. Sound is a very important component to watching and thoroughly enjoying a movie or show.

Have you ever tried to watch a football game without the sound on, in a restaurant or at home? It just doesn't feel right, the experience is diminished and there is something lost in the translation. So when you are putting together your home theater system, one of the most important components is going to be the surround sound.

You know what's weird (maybe)?

What I find most offensive about these shots is not the obvious "woman as a piece of meat/there to serve" vibe that they're going for.

I mean that just seems so obvious that to react to it would make me feel like a jerk, in the knee variety.

No, what bothers me about these is...that's got to be the most fake-looking body I've ever seen in my life.


It belongs to a woman named Elizabeth Loaiza, BTW, and obviously I have no way of knowing how much of it is or is not the body that god gave her. But...
