The one thing that soured that whole shoot for me was that Terry Richardson did it. He's known as sleazy, even in porn shoot circles, which should tell you something.
Avert your eyes if you're squeamish. Years back I worked in a college laboratory. One of my jobs was to care for the menagarie we kept on hand for BIO 101 kids to experiment on (a practice since ended). One of my duties was to euthnaize mice and rats, for a variety of reasons. Usually, we OD'ed them on ether in a "kill jar". Until someone told me that a quicker and more humane method was to pin them down, grab their tail, and yank very hard, dislocating the entire spinal cord and killing them instantly. It's great in theory. But the first time you are left standing there with a mouse screeching in pain in one hand, and its neatly removed tail in the other, you realize it isn't the bext way to go after all.
You've got to grab from the base of the tail. Vets don't put down rats, so when I had one that got a tumor I had to put it down that way. It was like Old Yeller, only smaller, and weirder, and nothing like Old Yeller at all. I'll tell you though, once you've had to put down your own pet, breaking up with people is a million times easier.
What ever Jefferson played much better off of Al and Marcy as the idiotic gold digger than Steve's wanna be yuppie feckless dumb fuckery. He left to go sing show tunes.
I just started re watching a bunch of MWC on Netflix instant. I barely watched it when it was on originally because it was the one show my parents didn't really want us watching. Personally, I think the episodes were slightly better during the Steve years, but Jefferson was a better character than Steve.
AHEM he left to be a park ranger in Yosemite. I just liked the sexist, blissfully non-P.C. xenophobia of the early years. It just seemed to resort to cheap slapstick and audience pandering WAY too much in the later years.
Honestly I stopped watching about the time they had to retire Buck. The last few season were pretty forgettable
I think it's interesting that Ed O'Neill has played the quintessential working class man, and also the quintessential business class man now on Modern Family. Whatever he does, he's the quintessential awesome dude.
Ah yes, the Nudie Bar.... But the best part of Bud's 18th birthday episode was at the end when they come home covered in barroom brawl contusions: Bud: Dad, how do we explain why we're so late to mom? Al: Well son, you're a man now. You puff up your chest, you look her dead in the eyes and you tell her that you got stuck in traffic. Truly one of the top 5 episodes of all time.
You ever just be chillin at the crib and lettin yo brain wander cuz you a contemplative motha fucka and shit? And realize the shit you be thinkin bout is deepa en a mutha fucka? Like aint all these folks hatin on haters bein kinda hypocritical? Deep shit like that. Yeah...dat shit be happenin to me all the damn time. It's like I'm a mutha fuckin genius and shit. Yep bona fide genius right hur. That's why it's confusing as shit that I can't get no loan to start up my bi-ness. I'm tellin ya'll the world needs a Newport delivery service. But for some reason I can't get no loan to bring this shit to you mutha fuckas! It aint shit but sum ole bullshit racism! White folks can get all kinds of loans. Car loans, house loans, bidness loans out the ass, hell I bet white girls can get bigger booty loans. But I can't get one little loan for some money makin shit? This some ole bullshit.
Or when the reveal they have a secret tunnel in the basement that connects to the nudie bar. Good stuff.
I just realized how much more awesome this post is picturing you doing this while wearing your Catwoman outfit.
