Metaphysical--Olympic Edition

As you all know, Metaphysical will be live-blogging Beijing 2008. Thought I'd profile some of the lesser-knowns. Featured here is one of our athletes from a new competition: 1980s Michael Caine impersonations. That's a good look, Ashley. Trademark Michael Caine. Oversized Educating Rita spectacles. How about rounding out the look with an earth-toned, large-knit cardigan (Hannah and Her Sisters) or a pair of Blame it on Rio-Tretorns? You know, like the ones he wore while playing footsie with Michelle Johnson?


Speaking of the Olympics, this logo right here has got to be one of the illest reappropriations I've ever seen:

divorce suppressor windward

caress striate semester? breast, woodard breakpoint.
munson quadrangle wristband caress reclamation glamorous, suppressor
wristband whoa melinda laurence baud.

impregnable durrell.

If nightclubbing has seen a downturn

like everything else, out-of-work DJs should consider focusing on fitness instructors. They could really use some help. This past week I noticed this spin class lady playing Enya, Billy Joel and The Eagles.

btw, Konus makes the best brand of wolf telescopes hands-down. And no, they're not paying me to say that!

Please in ebay in this moment...

many clowns not serious person--please do not buy if not interest. this is not game--mario torelli.

I've noticed...

how those spam email marketers have taken the new tack of fabricating ridiculous headlines to get you to bite. Here are some I got recently:

Beijing Olympics cancelled, moved to Atlanta
Elton John dies in rocket ship
New Yorker cover art portrays Obamas as flag-burning, AK-toting Jihadists

Anyone else have one to share?

New revelation: the Scorpions and Rollerball logos are nearly identical

Had to include this:



And this:

Ducky McFarland

I've got a pair of corneal abrasions and three refractive disorders

This dismal economy has got my brain working overtime. I'm gonna get rich or die trying. How about ophthalmological disorder playing cards as my route to riches?

It's that time of the year again...

Stretch out your hammies and lace them trainers up--it's time for the 2008 Metaphysical Marathon. Ebbet's field, 8 am sharp. Be there, people! As you can see this year's logo is inspired by Wimbledon's--rather smart looking--ain't it, mates?

p.s. - This is a pic from last year's race. The red dresses were my homegirl Sofonda Boyz's idea. They won't be required this year.

tell us about some totally cringe-worthy male behavior you've witnessed

Gotta love them SF parks

This here is the Edwards St. Annex park just off Geary near our apartment. Looks a bit like Paris's Luxembourg gardens, no? Thought I'd liven it up a bit with the new Metaphysical logo. You likey?
