Wall Street trading is often described as a blood sport. But inside the great investment houses, the sport of the moment is, of all things, curling — that oddball of the Olympics that is sort of like shuffleboard on ice.

This slow-poke game, which originated in 16th-century Scotland, has captivated the Type-A world of Wall Street almost by accident. CNBC, whose market chatter is the background music on trading floors, switches to curling from Vancouver shortly after the closing bell.

And so, after a day of braying for money in the markets, traders are winding down with curling. It is, fans say, a bit of after-market therapy. Curling is so slow and drawn out that it becomes mesmerizing. (via)

jicydak, the hot curling action is wrapping up this weekend:

today: women's medal games
bronze-medal game - china v. switzerland

tomorrow: men's medal games
bronze-medal game - sweden v. switzerland
on at 12.00pm
gold-medal game - canada v. norway
on at 6.00pm

who me?

here's that story...

...i started to tell you about in the comments down there.

A 46-year-old man was killed in Central Park when a snow-sodden tree limb fell on him just before 3:30 p.m. Thursday, the authorities said.
 
The man, Elmaz Qyra of Dyker Heights, Brooklyn, was declared dead at the location, a tree-canopied stretch along Literary Walk on the east side of the park near 69th Street, after crews from the Fire Department arrived at the spot.

A witness who walked by as Mr. Qyra lay bleeding said that the branch, which came to rest beside his head, looked like it must have weighed 100 pounds. The American elm tree it fell from, the witness said, was massive, perhaps 80 feet high, and was bowed beneath the weight of several inches of wet snow.

“It was obviously a direct hit to his head,” said the witness, a man who lives on the Upper West Side but would not give his name. “There was this big pool of blood spreading through the snow. It was horrifying.” (via)

snow whole day!!

daphne guiness rocks the funeral

yip!

omg guess what!

we are so excited to tell you about 2Pz good friend and one of our most loyal readers, lilly. i bet a bunch of you even KNOW her. she recently reviewed an exhibit for international publication, art in america. you should definitely check it out. it's right over here! and keep an eye out, because word on the street is that there's another piece in the works!

congrats, lilly! we are just so proud.

hey! hey joel! read this:



NYC's stone wall dems laid out the welcome mat for harold ford jr. only instead of reading welcome, ANTI-GAY LIAR was written across it in big black letters. jr. was full of empty political rhetoric like most politicians, and the crowd was generally belligerent (i.e. real queeny). the way he was treated wasn't fair or reasonable, but i won't lose any sleep over it. what seems worth mentioning is this;

"asked if he agreed with the ruling in lawrence v. texas, ford had to ask for clarification on what the case was about. the room erupted in groans. several attendees I spoke to were forgiving, recognizing the case title might not have reverberated outside our community. though, i think it's worth pointing out that it probably indicates ford didn't quite get all the way through his recommended reading of the LGBT community for dummies. (or as one less charitable person put it on twitter: 'to be fair, it was in 2003, when ford still hated the gays.')"

ford just isn't going to be successful at wooing new york state LGBTs so long as he doesn't bother to educate himself about basic landmarks within the gay civil rights movement. someone on his staff could have easily wikipedia-ed "US gay rights" and the first sentence of the second paragraph in the entry explains the essential facts of the case. unfortunately for him, this misstep exposes his shallow interest in LGBT issues.

its a good think im grown up or i probably would be a little frightened

johnny weir speaks


"I'm always thought of as the sparkly flamboyant character that wore a crown of roses...nobody knows me. I think masculinity is what you believe it to be. To me, masculinity is all my perception. I think masculinity and femininity is something that's very old fashioned. There's a whole new generation of people that aren't defined by their sex or their race or who they like to sleep with. I think as a person you know what your values are and what you believe in and I that''s the most important thing."

preach sister, preach. i think this guy is GREAT!

snowicane!

potentially NSFW


last night i brought you the pajama jeans. this afternoon, i'm bringing you another harbinger of the end of times; vajazzling. have you ever stared down at your freshly waxed, pre-pubescent looking vagina (looking at you starla) and thought, this is missing something...sparkly! well fret no more. now you can walk your tacky ass over to one of completely bare spa's many locations in NYC and have some swarovski crystal rhinestones adhered to your pubic area, 'cause why not?! (there are infinite reasons why not).

thanks emily!

from his blog. you should check it out.

bread baby


two sundays ago family guy ran an episode featuring a character with down syndrome, named ellen, who was voiced by andrea fay friedman, an actress who actually has down syndrome. jicydak, during the episode, ellen states that she's the daughter of the former governor of alaska, which is an obvious joke on sarah palin who's youngest son, trig, also has d synd.

well, you can imagine that ol' bitch palin got her knickers in a wad. the following monday, she referred to the episode as a "disappointment." her deviant slut of a daughter, who can't keep her fucking legs shut long enough to marry white trash before she makes a baby with it, referred to the show's writers as "heartless jerks".

later that week, andrea responded with her own statement, and boy is it good:

"I guess former Governor Palin does not have a sense of humor. I thought the line "I am the daughter of the former governor of Alaska" was very funny. I think the word is "sarcasm".

In my family we think laughing is good. My parents raised me to have a sense of humor and to live a normal life. My mother did not carry me around under her arm like a loaf of French bread the way former Governor Palin carries her son Trig around looking for sympathy and votes.
"

A-BURN!

i'm really, really, sorry starla...

...but in a recent details magazine interview, rob pattinson said the following in regard to all the half-naked and totes naked models around him:

I really hate vaginas. I’m allergic to vagina...I had no idea what to say to these girls. Thank God I was hungover.

not exactly what you would expect from a heterosexual heart-throb. i'm just going to come out and say it, kristen stewart is a beard.

i'm really, really sorry, starla...

After arriving separately and sitting apart from each other at Sunday's BAFTA awards, Robert Pattinson finally admitted that he and Kristen Stewart are a couple, and that all of their secretive antics are just to avoid crazed press and fans. "It is extremely difficult but we are here together, yes … We can't arrive at the same time because of the fans. It goes crazy. This was supposed to be a public appearance as a couple but it's impossible. We are here together and it's a public event but it's not easy."

Kellan Lutz, meanwhile, is promoting pet adoption for PETA, recounting the poignant story of how he met his rescue dog, Kola. "I touched her toe and said, 'Hey, what's your name?' … She spoke to me."(via)


and ZOMG that picture is from a scene for eclipse!!!

i want that.

The poster was initially produced by the Ministry of Information in 1939 during the beginning of World War II, and was intended as a "last case scenario" to be used only should the Nazis succeed in invading Britain via Operation Sealion, in order to stiffen resolve. Two-and-a-half million copies were printed, although the poster was distributed only in limited numbers. The designer of the poster is not known. (wiki)

they need it to stay warm!

Every Russian leader, it seems, finds a new way to try to confront the country's addiction to alcohol. Now, it's current President Dmitry Medvedev's turn.

His approach: declaring war on cheap vodka. As of the first of the year, vendors had to begin charging at least 89 rubles — or about $3 — for a half-liter of Russia's favorite drink. Last year, a thirsty Russian could have plunked down just $1.70 for one.

The Russian vodka tradition goes back centuries. The word "vodka" may even come from the Russian word for its main ingredient, water, says Nikolai Kamaletdinov, a guide at the museum attached to the Cristall vodka distillery in Moscow.

The problem is that sometimes Russians drink the liquor like it's water. They are convinced it helps them survive Russia's bitter cold. It is their national drink, in the way other countries have embraced wine or beer. But vodka is a much stronger drink — a problem for Russian leaders who have been trying for years to reduce consumption. (via)

More Vol Basketball News

Did you know that Bruce Pearl's son, Steven played UT basketball? He also lead the Americans to consecutive gold medals at the Maccabi games in Israel. He doesn't get a lot of playing time but I did find this picture of him playing solid defense.












No word on whether Steven will pursue a rap career like his father should.

hey melissa, remember?



if you grew up in the south, and went to church like a good boy (not one of those catholic churches with loose morals), then you know what is going on in the video up above. that is shoulder pads, hair spray, ribbon, sign language, and high notes all being manipulated for the glory of G-d. woof.

have you picked a favorite jonas?


mine is the one with the puffy hair and diabetes. who is yours?

you don't have to choose, i was just wondering...

just have to say

joannie rochette and her teary family friend in the audience might be the most special moment in the olympics so far.

its britney bitch

good news ya'll. britney is releasing her seventh studio album this summer, it should be out in June. collaborators are rumored to include david guetta, and a bunch of other people. i just think its nice that we dont have to call this one a comeback, since she came back and then managed not to have a breakdown or hair massacre in between. fingers crossed.

have you just stopped caring?

heard of jeggings? they're leggings that look like denim and sound like a turd word. or how about winkers? the jeans that wink as you walk. no? well forget about 'em, because there's something newer and better out there: pajama jeans...purjurma jurns...the pajama pants that look like jeans!

we all know a pair of jeans might as well be a bed of nails, OUCH! and those complicated "gotcha" buttons and zippers? who needs 'em! don't waste your hard earned money on jeans made by some european designer, or get hung up on a false notion of dignity. just wear the pants you slept in, outside...in front of people!



this whole concept makes me question the word "comfort", and what it really means. like, though soft and stretchy cotton pants might feel good, could i really say i would be comfortable wearing that outside?

what the what?

glee cast at the white house


First Lady Michelle Obama has extended an invitation to the cast of glee to perform at the White House Easter Egg Roll on April 5th. We all know that if Michelle asks you to sing some songs, then you fucking do it.

I hope this gets posted on youtube, so I can post it on 2pz.

is this an effective anti-smoking ad?


there seems to be some controversy in france about this series of anti-smoking ads. i wonder why?

hey, look over there... is that thomas wilhelm lighting up?

goodbye colonel reb.


ole piss students just decided to cast off their longtime mascot Colonel Reb.

now they get to try to decide what their new identity is going to be.

a few suggestions:
2) country girl
3) tim mcgraw

just so you know... according to the white students, this is NOT a race issue.
