Mr. TeeJay, having no rating system yet, let me just say "ZING!!" too, here. For a rep strap, it looks decent. And soon, TeeJay, soon...sigh, sorry. @Ubi: Beautiful Tourby! @HikeUSA: Yes, saw it in the Gym thread. Beautiful CD. And may I say, nice colour of workout shorts there. @TeeJay followup: You have the patience of a saint, my friend. Do they have saints in Islam?

Been a while since I was in the Looney Bin, but this is worth it. Totally lifted from RWI, though. Her name is Willow. She's from Frisco, and when she was at Art School, she made a sofa shaped like a woman's pudenda. More after the jump. http://sfbay.craigslist.org/sfc/fur/540076210.html

Democrats like to pull out early. Republicans have no exit strategy. I know who I'm sleeping with.

Are these your photos?? If so, WOW. Either way, an awesome watch, Richyman. This has whet my appetite for my own 005.

WEDNESDAY A rare Wristcheck of my least favourite PAM -- the Mini-Fiddy from Paul. The Mini-Fiddy does look good on this Greg Stevens' espresso-Nutellaesque strap though! (That's the Aerobie coffeemaker suggested by Doc Savage, BTW) THURSDAY My Silix-Rolex Air King, iPod Nano, and a rather deceptive 100F/39C reading! I bet you look good on the dancefloor.

Too many Jack and Cokes. :lol:

Hey, you know. That's not a bad idea! Well, not all the time, but to mix it up with the Casio or Pumpkin PO. It's also cheap enough (28 Euro) so that if something happens to it, it's no problem to replace. Thanks, Raijor! @Viennawatch: Thanks for the Polar info! @Alant: Thanks too! Any more info on that Jellyfish?

HAWT!! Very nice photos, HikeUSA! But see, this is why I want the CD 2007. It's more colourful. Incidentally, I wanted to get Laz' Heart Rate Monitor Polar watch, but they're too $$. Can someone recommend the Sigma brand from Germany? http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000MQFU3...d=2B3AWSGH63T5Z In addition to the Sweet Poison Casio, I mean. That's on it's way.

Tangentially, this is making my friends in the UK a bit worried -- they email me, asking for explanations. Who is the candidate?? Why isn't there a front-runner yet!? I'm sorry that Iowa has to be the first State in the Union to caucus, because it is so bewildering to foreigners. They expect consensus immediately. In a parliamentary system, the Party is paramount, but you have a leader: an accentuated difference n the US, when a President MUST step down, due to constitutional restraints on a 3rd term. It gives off a leaderless feeling. The last time the US had a non-presidential or vice-presidential candidate running was in 1968, when Johnson declined to run in MARCH of that year (after the New Hampshire primary, and Bob Kennedy entered the race). EDIT: Actually, just remembered. Hubert Humphrey ran, and he was Veep. Let's not forget that George Wallace split the Democratic ticket though. Enter Michael Bloomberg... It's anyone's race, but the country is not in Counter Culture turmoil. 2008 isn't 1968. However, it is the last hurrah for the 1968 generation. Hope they had a good time 'cause next stop -- retirement home, not 1600.

Looks beautiful on my laptop, Pix. Thanks as ever! I'll rotate yours and Pug's new one this week.

True. Good description! As I said, I like him but the personality you find more "real", I find annoyingly too-cool-for-this-show-like. Since these kinds of shows are more about eating, than being chefs, I am going solely on personality and not about talent as a chef, mind. However, he's the guest chef at the Coral Gables' Les Halles, down here. He's fairly often to be seen outside the restaurant, dressed in civvies taking a nervous drag of his cigarette, talking only to the chic'est, youngest people. Wow, seriously? That's certainly "do-able".

Wow! I wondered what happened to Martin Palermo.

JUST about to write that. Exactly, PZ. Proof positive is that last time, when RWG underwent the Big Green Change, the forum's record wasn't broken. Maybe if Admin posted a mass mailer about the RWG Supporter upgrades, even once a year, I bet you there would be an increase in them -- even with the PayPal difficulties. Screenshot at 11:59 PM EST.

My first PAM ever was that blasted Mini-Fiddy I got from Paul. Never wear it, but this is incentive, boy! Europelli Shell Cordovan strap? @Kruzer00: Sheesh, you were carefully composing your Wristie for seemingly hours. You are taking your new duties very seriously, I see.

How much costie? Wow, are you serious? Ah well. He seemed to wear a very elegant, Patek-looking watch and then a chunkier than usual, which I thought was a Breitling, in his season debut. Bah. What did you think of his presentation in general? I like Bourdain, but he tries too hard to be cool.

@UBI: Welcome back! Yes, you missed lots of drama. Thank God. TUESDAY TO WEDNESDAY Overnight, I'm wearing the 2007 Rolex Milgauss. A Swiss classic next to an American classic. (More later)

Ken, sometimes I show or suggest watches I myself don't wear, and this is one of those times. This is one of my dad's rep watches, the Vacheron Constantin Perpetual Calender from Joshua ($108). http://www.pc-80108.com/vc10011-malte-perp...dial-p-677.html I LOVE Tanksters' JLC RdM, though.

RATINGS. I want my RATINGS! Just to say, there are SO many things I want to say about these photos -- Doc's Porsche kit car, Ryaku's great Seiko Monster, TeeJay's trainers, Avitt's bracelet shot (so "clean"), etc. but this one, PATerai, called to me. Gold star for composition and wristcheckiness! (What, it's a word)

:wub: LOL! Vlydog took my idea. So instead, ARTISTIC!

Truly good, Ruel! I wonder if By-Tor and the other Tag Heuer guys have the boxes, etc. Me, I have a gen, and I don't even know where I put mine.

Impressive! Thanks Dadog. Unfortunately, and I just don't know why they can't get this right, the slant of the OP logo is wrong AGAIN. Nice crown and general dial though.

YAYAYAYAYAY! RWG is back, w00t! And what awaits our return but this rather dashing Wristcheck. Shades of a 1930s Ruritanian prince at the wheel of his Dusenberg, Doc. EDIT: Yipes, I'm not liking that crooked new winkie -- looks like it's had a stroke. Really like everything else though. Let's see if this emoticon is still the same. (It is!)

I think that's true of any foreign film in most English-speaking countries. BTW, the American Golden Globes were given out tonight, in a low-key press conference. Marion Cotillard won for Best Actress. Please note, not Best Actress in a foreign film. Just "Best Actress" (in a musical or comedy, of whatever language). Unlike the French C

I don't know what your solid gold Rolex was appraised for, CBR, but let's just say, I'm very happy to own mine.

I got the important bit of the Salisbury steak and Glash
