RIP: Pavarotti

I’m late on this, but I’m sure you’ll understand it took me some time to work through my feelings. Pavarotti was a greatly talented man, and perhaps the highest iteration of a particular type, ie the man possessed of immortal talent who doesn’t mind trotting it out at his Mom’s every damn Sunday dinner, or singing at a friend’s birthday party, or showing up for any benefit concert that will have him, provided they lay on the pasta spread.

And I love people like that. To the other, equally talented individuals who hoard their gifts as if they are MRE’s in the face of Katrina, we say: can I buy you an enema, darling?

Luciano Pavarotti, perhaps the greatest opera singer of the 20th Century, and disco diva/supermodel Grace Jones, at a benefit for Angola.

Build your own Bionic Woman: free after rebates!

Lindsay

Is this the right place to pass along the information that Angelina Jolie‘s pickup line used to be “five bucks if you can guess what’s real”?

Yes, yes it is.

In related news, the OSI, a branch of the CIA has released a statement via Funnimetrics indicating that, if you wait for the next 30% off sale at Future Shop or something and use all the rebate coupons that have been gathering dust on top of the tv, you can live every Seventies’ adolescent male’s dream and build your own bionic woman, FOR FREE!

For realz.

With the decreasing price of computer equipment and electronics in general, the parts for a bionic person, at one time a prohibitive six million dollars, now costs less that three hundred dollars. During sale weekends at Fry‘s electronics, the OSI claims it can lower that price to zero, or free (sales tax not included). The new motto for the bionic woman project will be, “better…stronger…faster…and cheaper…”

“I remember we had to buy this big Betamax VCR to observe Jamie and Austin’s training. That thing cost thousands…” said retired OSI head of bionic projects, Oscar Goldman.

The government study cost seven million dollars.

the white James Brown

Did you ever watch James Brown dance and think “Man, how does he do that? How can one simple, mortal being make moves like that?”

Now at last, via Stiletto Girl, comes the answer.

It’s great when cops really enjoy their jobs, eh? Officer Friendly indeed, but yeah, not quite THAT Friendly. I’m relatively sure the World Wildlife Federation is petitioning to make his crotch a “protected watershed” and thus preserve the thousands of at-risk species which live there.

Bill Gates on Manhunt? Pictures!

Sex-ay!

Bill Gates on Manhunt 1

 

Bill Gates on Manhunt 2

Vintage come-hither shots passed along by devblog. Which PR company thought these would be a good idea, I wonder? Snopes sez:

These images are actually publicity photos taken of the then 30-year-old Bill Gates coincident with the initial release of Microsoft Windows in 1985.   The Corbis photo archive identifies their depiction thusly: “Bill Gates, CEO of Microsoft, reclines on his desk in his office soon after the release of Windows 1.0. 1985 Bellevue, Washington, USA.” “

Actually, I’ve seen a lot worse. Been to Hunters and Gatherers yet? They’re doing for gay men what Fugly has done for ugly people; ripping them apart and laughing over the shredded remains. Actually, it’s just like being in a gay bar!

Strangely, I cannot actually find his Manhunt profile, nor lavalife, nor match.com; only MySpace. I feel so left out; nobody’s made a spoof MySpace for moi!
