I'm so pissed off that my archives no longer work.

Blogger was down all day today. While it was down, I found this Stacey Grenrock-Woods story that is going to be in the new Esquire magazine:
10 Things You Don't Know About Women

1. We say underwear, just as men do. Women never say panties, and neither should you, except under the rarest of circumstances, and maybe not even then. Likewise, the garment we wear on top is called a bra. When possible, please refrain from making a sound effect like boing! when we remove it.

2. Your virility may be called into question if you identify yourself as a vegan, raw foodist, macrobiotic, or some equivalent. Women tend to see these lifestyle choices as fine for themselves but not quite male enough as far as you are concerned. Sure, we're all for you taking care of yourselves, but we do not want you to regard yourselves as too precious. It is our task in life to get you to try things like couscous, and it is yours to politely decline the offer.

3. The same goes for driving. Women don't like men who drive like women. Not that we drive like women. By women I mean grandmothers.

4. If we are forced into a situation where a male stripper is imploring us to, say, lick whipped cream from his shaved inner thigh or lap tequila from his navel, it will most likely just perplex and embarrass us. We are more likely to become aroused by a female rather than a male stripper. But don't get any big ideas.

5. Not all women are thoroughly sold on the idea of pushing a baby out of a small opening in their bodies. It does not fill all of us with an inexpressible Sense of Purpose on this Earth. It fills us with a slow and steady sense of dread. Nevertheless, it should be noted that, when contemplating our golden years, we do like to imagine plenty of vital progeny gathered at our knee, hanging on our every wizened word and keeping us company after you die, which you will do before us because you are always eating all that crap. You should eat more couscous. (And stop driving like a lunatic.)

6. Thongs are not a girl's best friend. Diamonds are. We're not stupid.

7. Concerning the myth about women preferring men of power to men of attractiveness: once again, entirely true. But power and attractiveness are nebulous terms. Only in the rarest of instances will a young and vibrant woman appear on the arm of an octogenarian millionaire. Similarly, few of us will eschew a respectable-looking gentleman with an honest job who is kind and fun in favor of an unemployed underwear model with nothing to say.

8. The inclusion of the word Lady in front of a product doesn't make us feel better. We don't sleep more soundly knowing we have our own Foot Locker.

9. Most of us respond favorably to even the most diminutive gesture of compassion. You will find that when provoked by, say, a simple card or a kind phone call, our capacity for forgiveness and benevolence could blow your mind. Yes, we are different from you in some ways, but we do possess resilient hearts that long to connect with you on a level that transcends mere gender. But come on, no balloon bouquets. What do you think this is?

10. Women are neither a Ginger nor a Mary Ann, a Mary nor a Rhoda, a Rachel nor a Monica, a Madonna nor a whore, high maintenance nor low maintenance, nor anything else you may have seen on TV, read at a bookstore counter, or heard Billy Crystal say. We are all and/or none of these things, plus ten thousand other things that are constantly transmogrifying into more confusing things. One concept or phrase cannot begin to contain us. We do not stand united on any one principle, except perhaps this: We all love flowers, ponies, puppies, kitties, and rainbows. That is absolutely 100 percent true.

It looks like the archives are down. I think its a blogger problem b/c I've tried every template blogger has and the archives are still screwy (as in not showing up). Let's hope its up Monday.

Anita notices something, and she has to tell everyone
10:46 p.m.

I was watching a TDS tape from November 2000 (after Thanksgiving) from January 2001. And if anyone has the December 7th 2000 episode, you notice that it starts out differently. I had forgotten all about that. Instead of "dog on fire" the background music is the one they use for the newsbreaks. I thought it was werid, and I don't think they did it ever again.

4:55 p.m.
Lauren Weedman needs a house
I was bored, so I decided to search for Lauren on google: and I found this in the 'groups' section:

Mo wrote this to me:
Dear Anita:
You could not pay me a greater compliment than "Best Dressed"
Thanks,

I just finished re-sizing all my daily show screen captures, and I want to ask a question to everyone:

what is the strangest thing you've ever seen on TDS

Like something that just felt out of place, or it wasn't funny, or well, you know what the word strange means.

Mine is that time on October 3rd 2001 where Steve brought in these 'exotic' animals, and everything went wrong, and Jon and Steve were trying their best not to laugh. Here's a refresher:

8:23 p.m.
I updated the Vance site tonight, I added two new pages of images:
Vanceypants ninety
Vanceypants ninety-one.
I'm going to re-size more TDS images tonight so maybe I can get the TDS site back to Tripod.

coming up next week
8:16 p.m.
Catch up with classic moments from The Daily Show next week. Coming Up on Monday 7/1: Paul Sorvino, plus "I on News."

I hope they show the June 18th episode b/c comedy central screwed up and they didn't re-show it on June 19.
