From P-I-M-P to Pimp 2

  1. Say hello to Lolita's friend

    Hey Miami Seaquarium: We can do this the easy way, or the hard way. So why don't you just hand over the whale, and we'll make sure you avoid a run-in with 50 Cent's finger gunz, Johnny Depp's crazy-eye, and Harrison Ford's killer smile.

  2. Four14een

    Just when we had successfully rid ourselves of lust, gluttony, avarice, sloth, anger, envy, and pride, the Pope-meister goes and changes the rules on us. Now that polluting is a one-way ticket to hell, we'll be sure to carpool to confession.

  3. We love parasols in the springtime

    We're quite fond of the Brelli umbrella (we just wish we had a giant cocktail to go with it). Not only is the Brelli made of sustainable bamboo, it biodegrades in less than five years -- which makes going out into rain storms exciting and unpredictable!

  4. We'll be brief

    Fuel your underwear fetish with these cheeky coverage options [PDF]. For the public transit lover: Park and ride. For the foodie: Eat local. For the outdoorsy: How about a tree-some? And for the energy activist: Local wind power. Ah, if only we could tap that ass.

  5. Finger-snappin' good

    Moby, we love to love you baby. Your new disco-themed vid rocks the boat, with a hustlin' chicken pimp who don't stop 'til he gets enough -- so his fellow peeps can be stayin' alive. That's the way (uh huh, uh huh) we like it.

    BrelliGo to any Japanese import store and you will find the same product "design" in a wide variety of attractive paper designs.  The Japanese have been making such parasols for many, many years. The only thing different about the Brelli is the mystery biodegradable canopy material.  So what is it?

    Economic Stimulus Pkg and Gas PricesAnybody else notice that as soon as the "economic stimulus" package is announced and the we get the notice in the mail that the check is on the way, then the gas prices SOAR? I mean, it was like overnight.
    I'll bet the oil companies will report record high profits again for this quarter.
