Not a whole lot to choose from in this quiz, but what the hell…it’s Shebeen Club day, I’ve got two job applications and a report do to before I go to bed, and I’m running around like a raven with my tiny birdie teeth ripped out. That’s a doubly-obscure reference, for those of you who think Poe is a waiflike Nineties singer.

You scored as Annabel Lee. Virginia Eliza Clemm Poe was dubbed as Lenore, Annabel Lee, and others in her husbands poems. She was his child bride who died when Poe was 38. He died two years later. this poem shows that love has an extreme importance to you, and even if that love stops, it never dies.

According to the Americans, this is what a terrorist looks like:
and like this

Well, you may say, better safe than sorry. After all, we don’t know what the kid had in her diaper, and the first two are kinda swarthy-lookin’.
And yes, fair enough, they do look kinda tan for, respectively, a Canadian and a Swede, but since Maher Arar was cleared of terrorism charges and released after spending two years of torture in a Syrian prison(Syria being the US’s favorite offshore torture facility), and since Prince Carl Philip of Sweden is in line for the throne of a major European monarchy, besides being a total hottie, to keep Arar on the no-fly list and to arrest and detain HRH CP in jail overnight for using his diplomatic passport and looking insufficiently regal seems a tad…well, overzealous.
Whereas we have no sympathy whatsoever for the three year old girl who threw a screaming tantrum while her flight was boarding, and who was thrown off the plane and banned along with her parents for “attacking a woman” (who happened to be her mother). If empowered to do so, I myself would unhesitatingly throw off a plane anyone I felt looked like they could at some point in the flight become flatulent, hog the armrest, throw a screaming fit, attack someone, discuss real estate or smokers’ rights, or chew with their mouths open. And I wouldn’t wait for the bloody plane to land, either. Softies!
So, with passport requirements stiffening, even for US citizens trying to re-enter their own country — don’t misplace yours. If it can happen to Swedish royalty, it can happen to anyone.
Well, OK, there is one difference between royalty and us little guys in this situation…
“I got the impression that he thought it was quite exciting,” said documentary film maker Folke Rydén, who was traveling with the Prince as part of the filming project.
Special bonus British terrorist:
Jay Cowper, the tiny terrorist, the huggable hoodie.
The shop, which serves the well-to-do Huntington area of York, is only a five-minute walk from the family home but it was a cold and windy night so Jay was wrapped up in a brown Next jacket with a furry hood.
Mrs Cowper said: “No sooner had they got inside than the shopkeeper said to my husband, ‘Could you ask the little boy to remove his hood?’
“My husband said, ‘He’s only two and a half, I don’t think he’s going to rob you!’“

Indeed, in the topsy-turvey, through-the-looking-glass world which is New Jersey, it has been officially declared No Name-Calling Week.
Naturally, this set us to thinking, here at the ol’ raincoaster blog. It set us to thinking that this was a concept upon which we could improve. It, along with this post from TAN, well really it, the post from TAN, this post from Lori, and the proven fact that insults, ire, and sheer poopyheadedness generate more comments than reason or normalcy, set us to thinking that we could have some fun with the comments section this week.
It’s Name-Calling Week, fuckerz!
Do your best. Comments which do not include at least one name-calling incident and which aren’t of sufficient mind-boggling stone cold merit to earn a pass from me will have a point deleted from the commenter’s score. All commenters start with zero points, and you earn one for each insult. I, as the Price Waterhouse Cooper of the contest, am exempt and so, for obvious reasons, are serious comment threads.
May the worst mouth win.

and the fact is, in a perfect world the facts of life are revealed to your delicately budding sensibilities in the presence of none other than America’s Sweetheart and Sexiest Man Alive, George Clooney.
I, apparently, grew up in a perfect world. And so did you. Who knew?
The simple fact of life for George Clooney, however, is that the poor man will never, as long as he lives and no matter what he achieves, including Oscars, Sexiest Man Alive Hall of Fame status, earning a coveted internship on the good ship Fugger, even achieving the Presidency, bringing about world peace and/or saving the planet from paparazzi/mutants/asteroids/misunderstood minorities gone bad, he will never live down this haircut.
You take the gel,
You take the bangs,
You take them both and there you have the ‘do Clooney.
The view ew-ee!
There’s a time you gotta go afro
You’re growin’ out,
You know about the blowdryer.
Oh no, feathers!
When the look never seems,
To be working without the Brylcreem.
And suddenly you’re finding out,
The Caesar look will help you out.
The greying works too.
Hot Dippity-do!
A goatee pour vous?
It takes Christophe to get it right,
But you’re learnin the facts of life.
Learnin the facts of life.
Learnin the facts of life.
Learnin the facts of li-fe.
Tootie, as usual, gets the best lines.
