Where's von K? He can help me out on this - aren't the Dutch the ones that are promiscuous, arrogant, stingy, wooden shoe-wearing, bulb-growing, dike-building windmill-livers? Sometimes I get them confused with Norwegians and Swedes, because I'm American, and you know, we're only, like, 24th on the list of "World's Smartest People."

Sure, you talk the talk, but when are you gonna go balls-out and do a reverse "Bill Grundy interview," leaving Karol shocked and speechless?

You have a show?

What's next, T-shirts?

Rocket - Ok, that was a pretty funny piece of American ethnic humor, but of course I can say that since I'm an American and all.

Good, von K, you DO have a sense of houmor about this stuff. I doubted it for a second.

And sorry that comments from one thread are starting to spill over into another ,but I have to clear something up for you. My French friends inform me that while English is certainly not the primary language of Quebeckers like Celine...neither is French.

I'm sure that the French don't think that the Quebequois speak French, but you know how the French are about French and all. But us Americans wouldn't know French from Mexican if it wore a sombrero while beating a pinata, so my point stands.

Being Mexican (in part) I'm offended by that.

One would never wear a sombrero while beating on a pinata. Damn brim blocks your view.

Well there you go, I guess I had them confused with the French.

Ugh. Never confuse us with the French. Those bastards eat snails, for crying out loud!

They don't eat cultured food like tripe soup or baby goat.

"but you know how the French are about French and all"

I am OUTRAGED! When will the stereotyping of ethnic groups end! No wonder the world hates us!

Hmm. So you're saying that the stereotype of Americans as boorish and ignorant of other cultures is true?
Because I'm an American, and I certainly know the difference between Polish and Portuguese when I hear it, and a great many other languages too, though I may not understand what is being said.

You have to be able to tell the difference, so that you can tell the joke that corresponds.

How does this make for a "show"?

A junkie doing "the nod" after 5 minutes is pretty boring to watch.

So true. I don't know how many times I've been mortified by some boorish American cornering a Ukranian and then telling them a highly offensive Polack joke, and then getting all huffy when the Ukranian laughs instead of being properly offended. It's so fucking embarassing.

Funny, but the question people really wanted to answered was if Tyra Banks' bust was natural.

They are. And they're spectacular.

Her hair and eyelashes? Not so much.

So Ace, after your Klonopin-Miller Lite benders (what no more Val-U-Rite?) what kind of munchies do you get?

Well, if you're not craving a bratwurst and a hunk of cheddar you need to increase the Miller Lite dosage.

And I thought that only happened with Old Style.

Frickin' Ukrainians...

Don't get me started

Ukrainians. Such a sad people.

How can you tell who the bride is at a Ukrainian wedding? She's the one with braided hair under her arms!

BING! HEY-O !

Allan: You want a Fresca with a Darvon?

Linda: Unless you have apple juice.

Allan: Apple juice and Darvon is fantastic together!

Linda: Have you ever had Librium and tomato juice?

Allan: No, I haven't personally, but another neurotic tells me they're unbelievable.

A Dutch guy shooting up on live radio? Other than the advance publicity, how is this anything new? Isn't keeping up up the supply of horse in a Dutch radio station just another task for the interns, along with coffee and pastries?

Has anyone told this talkshow host that he just blew any chance for a future in supermodeling?

Or is the Kate Moss thing only for cocaine?

Most talk show hosts look like Oliver Willis. Not a lot of "super model" potential there.

Funny, but the question people really wanted to answered was if Tyra Banks' bust was natural.
They are. And they're spectacular.

OK, a nettiquette point is in order. Do not post a comment about a spectacular bust including a link if it does not take you to a picture.

Very rightly written article, it arrests the attention of the reader. The subject is outlined with clear understanding and focus.
