don't worry tobi, you can still read it online. they are going web-only. - Jess Lee
And I assume you're getting a subscription Jess? - Jim Norris
no no, playgirl is only read by gay men (the myth has been repeated so often, it must be true!) - j1m
"Though the magazine is marketed to heterosexual women, Playgirl's then-editor-in-chief Michele Zipp said in 2003, "The gay readership is about 30%." She went on to add, "It's 'Entertainment for Women' because there's no other magazine out there that caters to women in the way we do, but we love our gay readers as well."[1] Also in 2003, the President of Trans Digital Media, LLC (the brand management firm for Playgirl TV), Mark Graff, stated that 50% of Playgirl's readership are gay males.[2]" - ⓞnor
"[Playgirl publisher] Blue Horizon, then known as Crescent Publishing, was charged in 2000 by the FCC with over 180 million dollars of online credit card fraud, much of which was conducted on the Playgirl Magazine site. All Blue Horizon titles, including Playgirl were prevented from conducting any business on the web for five years. Then-president Bruce Chew was subsequently indicted, along with several prominent members of the Gambino crime family." - ⓞnor
ya i cant figure out how to properly "evade" - sean percival
I've done it a couple times. it seems to have something to do with the timing. this thing needs keyboard shortcuts, otherwise i just wind up going back and forth and missing the buttons. - Mark "Rizzn" Hopkins
I couldn't figure out how to evade either. The housekeeper kicked my ass. - Jess Lee
"The al fresco flip-flops take up to three weeks to grow and each shoe is covered with over 5,000 blades of grass. If watered regularly the unique footwear can remain in season for over four months" - Jess Lee via Bookmarklet
I just bought one of these dresses today. It's a jersey wrap dress that transforms into 10 different styles based on how you try it. - Jess Lee via Bookmarklet
The most perfect slouchy cardigan I have ever bought! It's lightweight, warm, great for layering, and has extra long sleeves. I bought it in gray and love it so much I'm going to buy the black one. - Jess Lee via Bookmarklet
"He was allegedly trying to steal Batman posters, as well as other collectibles, from a movie theater nearby. And even better, he went dressed at the Joker!" - Jess Lee
"San Francisco is cool with everything from gay marriage to medical marijuana, but it can't handle New York's own Naked Cowboy - who got arrested while singing in his skivvies there Friday." - Jess Lee via Bookmarklet
"The arresting officer claimed Burck violated rules posted in Union Square against soliciting and playing an instrument, and the two argued before the cop finally slapped on the cuffs." - Chris White
Poor Naked Cowboy. ♫ There's a tear in my beer for him... - Clay Newton
What he needed to do was run in Bay to Breakers. Then he would have been fine. - Hutch Carpenter
My understanding is that, ever since 1976, you've needed to permit to busk in certain parts of SF. Union Square being one of them. Apparently, the Naked Cowboy didn't meet with "the proper authorities" before playing. I got chased from Bart Stations with guitar in hand, back in the '80's. - Helen
Burck was given a citation for "violating a posted sign," and is due in a San Francisco court Monday. WTF with the charge - Duncan Riley
Marriage is more complicated then UR right2use a public park. Marriage is designed4creating relationships 4human reproduction(which*IS*important).When U demand gay marriage UR asking 4the same benefits as people who need government assistance because they have no choice over their functions(in the same respect U can't help being gay) Children R expensive. Please take sympathy on straight people. I don't hate U! - Noah David Simon
Awww. "Amazingly, within 48 hours [of Mr. Roger's car being stolen] the car was left in the exact spot where it was taken from, with an apology on the dashboard. It read, "If we'd known it was yours, we never would have taken it." - Jess Lee
I was living in Pittsburgh when he died. The whole city went into mourning. I'd never seen such a reaction from Pittsburghers in response to a non-sports-related event. - Kevin Fox
In this day and age, many of our icons of goodness seem to get dethroned in scandal. That never happened with Mr. Rogers.... because he was truly a good man who wanted nothing more than to help children learn what they needed to grow up and be good people. I've heard him interviewed by Terry Gross (best interviewer ever). It made me respect him even more. - Cyrus Lendvay
"When asked about the resemblance to Mickey, a spokesperson replied, “They have square holes in their ears. They are not copies.” The spokesperson suggested the statues are unique because they incorporate the themes of old Chinese coins (the square holes), the year of the rat, the Olympics and the financial district into the design. However, children passing by the statues were seen pointing and saying, “Look! It’s Mickey!”" - Jess Lee
“They have square holes in their ears. They are not copies.” I think I just found my quote of the day. :D - Alvin Woon
"Yet, for some reason Style.com's inclusion of Allegra Versace among today's "Look of the Day" candidates REALLY got under my skin. I mean the poor girl is so very emaciated and looks so mal-developed - she is clearly still battling anorexia. And she's offered up for consideration as an ideal?" - Jess Lee via Bookmarklet
I <3 this rant the only kinda cannon i trust is sammus's arm cannon I love the line punk music is a joke it's all just baroque - Cecil Sandus
a great video. I actually wrote a remix of the cannon a while back before I saw this. http://myspace.com/djrizzn. I think it's called Basket Case - Kool Kannon Remix on there. - Mark "Rizzn" Hopkins
I'm listening to the remix you posted there. Pretty cool. - Candace Holly
Hold up..Pompano? Whaaat? Fellow South Florida native, eh? Born around Pompano, grew up in Hollywood. Spent my club days down in the Miami nightlife. - Candace Holly
I lived in the FTL area for about four years... then moved back to texas after Hurricane Wilma. - Mark "Rizzn" Hopkins
I think Wilma did it in for me too. I left South Florida the year after Wilma but, once Wilma hit I was like "Ok no more hurricanes" - Candace Holly
I miss it but I doubt I'll be moving back there again. Too expensive! Ugh the cost of rent of my apartment was insane and I won't even get into the cost on the house. Plus everyone I used to stomp around The Kitchen Club with are now gone to other areas of the US save a very few. - Candace Holly
Same here, too much has changed,though there are still some great friends there, but also there's a place that makes the best, no really, the best fresh Mozarella I've ever tasted. I think it was called Mimi's. Their Canoli are awesome also. We'd fly back just to have that Mozarella, no joke, it's that good. - sergiooo (droffset)
Oh my gosh! Yes! Mimi's in Hollywood. That place was awesome. Every Holiday we would get fresh bread and things from there. Did you ever have the tiramisu? That was the best I'd ever had. - Candace Holly
I haven't had it, but now I'm trying to think of a way to fit in a visit to South Florida :) - sergiooo (droffset)
The Kitchen Club - sounds very familiar. Was that a popular goth hangout, or am I thinking of something else? - Mark "Rizzn" Hopkins
@Mark - Yes. It's one of the longest-running goth/industrial clubs on the East Coast. My old stomping grounds were The Kitchen, Manray (and later) Vamp and Underland. Sometimes Respectable Street up in West Palm but, not too often. - Candace Holly
I didn't go there often to the Kitchen, but I remember my ex dragging me out there a few times. I lived in FTL proper, Pompano, Hollywood (right on the broadwalk) and Davie. - Mark "Rizzn" Hopkins
Hehe you most likely saw me there but I doubt anyone would recognize me in "club" get up vs regular me. I was always in Hollywood, over near Memorial Hospital. Lived in Kendall with roommates for a short time and, Sunrise too but always ended up back in Hollywood. Now I'm curious as to who your ex is, if she went regularly, I probably knew/know her. - Candace Holly
Not sure how often she made it down to Miami without me. She was part of the FTL fetish scene. A fairly shortlived relationship that went out with a bang. Didn't end amicably. - Mark "Rizzn" Hopkins
Wow. The Kitchen. One of the first clubs I went to and I wouldn't have it any other way as I never experienced another club like it again. A quick search led me to its MySpace page: http://www.myspace.com/thekitc... which had a fun read on its history. - Gus Perez
@Mark - I'll bet you money I know her then. Now you have to tell me who she is if you don't mind telling. :) @Gus - the Kitchen is still moving along. My buddies still do DJ spots and, they still host parties. That place is a South Florida legend. - Candace Holly
hilarious rant. i like the basket case pachelbel mashup too. - Jess Lee
Thanks! It was a fun one to make, though I cringe hearing it now - wish I still had the source files so I could correct some of the errors I hear. - Mark "Rizzn" Hopkins

"A Luther Burger is a hamburger, specifically a bacon cheeseburger, which employs a glazed donut in place of the bun." Apparently this picture is from the Google New York cafe. - Jess Lee via Bookmarklet
I hope you haven't actually eaten one of these things...yuck! - Brad Collins via twhirl
Unfortunately no. But I would love to try one. - Jess Lee
5 years ago we would have never considered 'walking directions' or 'bicycling directions' or 'siteseeing directions', why not give us multiple routes, based on hills/crime/site-seeing, and color them different, maybe we want to walk a different way back. user generated gps paths would help too, but thats a lot of data to analyze. - David Lynch

For those of you who were around during FriendFeed's brief stint as FestivusFeed, here is a permanent version of it, via the Bitchfest room. - Jess Lee via Bookmarklet
At first I thought you took all the original entries and put them there, but now I see the dates are all recent. - Chris White
Seems to be a Friendfeed bug, the URL reads "You are now a member of the room Bitchfest" but it's not true. - Philipp Lenssen
Men of FriendFeed -- which of these would you actually consider wearing? - Jess Lee
The Diesel cologne has got to go -- the bottle is pretty but, oof the smell. :-) None of the shoes are me, which is often a problem with men's shoes; most of them are too conventional. Other than that, it's all wearable and most of my friends would love to see me in the new hawtness. Any new hawtness actually... Anyone settle for tepidness? Yeah. - Daniel Dulitz
