Life imitating news imitating life.

The above clipping from this week's Folio (which cites my Feburary 27 post) is currently hanging in up the First Coast News studio.

I like to imagine it's stuck to the refrigerator with an alphabet magnet and little gold star stickers. Because "local media gold" really deserves a gold star or two. [FCN] | [FW]

Foliowatch: Cruising the personals.

The greatest "I Saw You" of them all:

"The Pearl 12/28 Thank you for watching over me as I vomited in the street and my friend looked for my ride home. I would like to thank you in person."

Oh, Dear. You have to be more specific than spewing outside The Pearl. A lot of people fill that description.

This is what happens when straight men watch too much Sex & the City:

"I'm not Hugh Hefner! You're no Playboy bunny sweetheart! I use dumbbells, you take Paxil! I collect movies, you're a shoe junkie! We're both somebody's ex! White male, 50, 6', 200 seeks loveable single female for true friend with great benefits!"

What kind of benefits? Like, 401(k) or dental? 'Cause I could really use a new dental plan.

So, is this live-action Tarzan, or Disney animated feature Tarzan?

"Tarzan look for Jane. Tarzan white, 46 season, 5'10", solid 180, seek Jane. Good if Jane like water, jungle, animals and high places. Ok if Jane have kids. Jane no take Tarzan to mall. Tarzan nice.

Good if Jane like high places, since the author is high often. Like when writing.

I have always loved a man in a loincloth, though.

Foliowatch: Fast art and phallus. Does that count as an alliteration?

Best quote of 2007 (It's early, and expectations are low): "Computers don't make good art," says Orris, "They just make bad art faster." [PG 48]
Speaking of which: Folio is looking for a new "bad, in a good way" artist. [PG 30]
My left, or your left? I think the soul patch is off to my left. [PG 37]
I get it, you think soldiers are Tools. That doesn't mean you have to make the body-bags look like dildos. [PG 74]
