Al Gore has a problem that he will never be able to overcome. If you hear about all he's done, you may very well admire the man. You might agree with every position he holds. You might even think he would make a great president. But once you see him on TV, you find yourself a little less psyched. The man has Anti-Charisma. Every second you spend listening to a recording of his voice, you will like him a little less. Every moment you see him on screen, you will like him a lot less, and wish Bill Clinton were on screen instead (say what you want about his policies, but I would raptly watch Bill Clinton read VCR instructions aloud). It is a testament to the power of Gore's actual words that the people don't rise up and drive him to the city limits with pitchforks and torches. (NB: I haven't seen An Inconvenient Truth, so if he comes off all dapper-dan and charmtastic [sic], let me know. My theory is that he doesn't, but he's in a professorial role, and we don't really care if our professors have charisma.)

Not to be dramatic or anything, but reading Charlie Munger's Psychology of Human Misjudgment just might change your life. He's pretty folksy for a billionaire, but his subject -- the reasons people make bad decisions -- is completely fascinating. It drips with the kind of simple truth that cannot be ignored.

I like blintzes!

My roommate just went to Paris for eight days, and she left behind a germ bomb of tainted Häagen-Dazs. A sudden case of laryngitis made her throat so sore and scratchy that I started whispering while talking to her out of unconscious sympathy, and yet she blithely ate this ice cream -- which, admittedly, was hers -- straight from the pint with a goddamn spoon. So unless I want my throat to be scratchier than Fergie's crotch, I cannot partake. Maybe I should pour a thin layer of Zippo fluid on the top of the ice cream and sterilize it. Sigh. It's like David Ben-Gurion said: "Life is full of infected pints of Strawberry Häagen-Dazs; we must not partake lest our dessert-based mistakes be the last ones ever made."

DISALLOWED FOREVER

"I could tell you, but then I'd have to kill you!"
-
"from whence"
-
"...the exception that proves the rule"
-
any use of the question "spit or swallow?"
-
the phrase "drop trou"
-
fake-o reviewer verbs:
"penned" for wrote
"helmed" for directed
"lensed" for whatever
-
"expat"
-
the euphemism
"passed away"
-
pronouncing merci beaucoup as "mercy buckets!"
(see also: "grassy-ass!")



PET PEEVES

"confinscated"
-
trying children "as adults"
-
"drownded"
-
misuse of reflexive pronouns, as when someone says "Please talk to Bob or myself." Come on people now. "Myself" is not just a fancy version of "me"! LEARN IT.
-
tattoos in the Courier font
-
any use of Comic Sans
