"The upstairs is a little bit better than the downstairs."
"So if at any time during the performance you need to use the bathroom you'll be well taken care of but don't do it during my set because it's going to be great. Humorous anecdotes, like I said."*
The best request I have received in my life so far
Mandy, I'm a huge fan of your Cat in a T-shirt story. It has spawned a whole new realm of internet rejection for me.
However, I think it only works in the short-term really.
I'm really not even sure how to ask this, but I was wondering if you could help me break up with my boyfriend? I was thinking maybe a letter, or maybe a dirty limerick? Just whatever you could come up with would help out so much!
I am breaking up with you because that bitch Mandy Stadtmiller told me to. I'm sorry. I didn't want to. But she insisted. Blame her. And good luck with everything. Thanks for the cuddling. I liked it when you did that one thing with the thing.
The undulating pint glass with the smaller grip does what many bartenders once thought impossible: It holds the foam.
"I thought this couldn't be done," says Bernie Reilly, owner of The Perfect Pint in Midtown, one of a few New York bars now carrying the new glasses, which have been made available to about a thousand pubs around the country since May.
You don't know MySpace until you know George Jack. He is a 48-year-old who is looking for "the perfect women who is smart as well as nice eye candy." I am in his Top 8. He has 137 friends. Almost all of them are people with names like "Girlz Only," "Candiberry" and "Howard Stern."
When I respond to George, he starts barraging me with messages. What is my favorite drink? Can we change where we meet? No, and no. We meet in Union Square, and it's kind of like "Sleepless in Seattle" except that he lives in his parents' basement in The Bronx and I want to kill myself.
Let's be fair. George is pretty cool. I like his spirit. He goes to Club Med all the time, his last girlfriend was a smoking hot 26-year-old (just check the picture in his wallet) and it's not weird at all. He enjoys NASCAR. He works nights. MySpace is the only Web site he goes to. Yep.
(And I'll let George tell the rest. Reprinted with his permission.)
HI MANDY

"WHEN you attempt Barry White, you either on it or you off," explains 46-year-old Lanar, a Manhattan minister who is starring
in an off-Broadway production about the plus-size crooner's legacy.
And Lanar is on it, baby.
A singer since he was 7 years old, Lanar grew up using his deep bass voice to interpret the stylings of everyone from the Temptations to Otis Redding to Marvin Gaye. But all that changed in 2003, the year the Sultan of Soul, the Walrus of Love and the Buddha of the Bedroom died of kidney failure at the age of 58.
THE great British invasion of 2007 went about as well as 1812.
Dubbed the next transplanted power couple of America with their highly anticipated move to Los Angeles next month, Victoria and David Beckham are leaving many pop-culture watchers unimpressed.
Maggie Bandur, just moved here to New York to work on a new TV show, and Manhattan couldn't be luckier to have her.
In cleaning out papers today I found an updated guide of W.H. Auden's "Letters From Iceland" she wrote based on her trip there last year.
Here's my favorite note.
Language
Icelandic is the language of the Vikings. There are no dialects, and it hasn't changed in centuries; there is no "Old Icelandic." This is due to the isolation of the island, the few residents and the fact that tribes would all meet once a year at Thingvellir. I tried to piece together the pronunciation of words, but the language when spoken is beautiful and sonorous and so much more nuanced than what I could work out. I think a woman told me I was a good dancer, but a bartender named David, who grew up in Alaska, said going up to tourists, smiling cheerfully, and telling them to fuck off in Icelandic is a popular teenage activity. Everyone does speak English remarkably well.
After you check out what Allison made, you can make your own and share it too!
