question: don't i have anything better to do with my free time?
i was browsing le internet this afternoon when i stumbled upon something a bit disturbing. on amazon.co.uk they actually sell "adult versions" of the harry potter series. this got my wheels a'turnin'...what is in these "adult versions" of the children's best-sellers? furthermore, do i really want to know what changes were made in order to categorize these beloved stories the same way pornos are euphamised as "adult entertainment"? i guess it goes right along with our real harry potter starring in a london stage production where he and his female counterpart are completely nekkid. eww. harry potter with his pants off. gross. (i want to clarify that i was not searching for these porno potter books; i was looking up my favorite british heroine, georgia nicolson. louise rennison's books are so much cheaper for her fellow londonites--totally unfair, i say--but the shipping costs make up for it. i even had to break out the currency converter to convince myself it wasn't worth it. the books are still sitting in my amazon.co.uk shopping cart though. someday.)
continuing on with the risque subject matter...has anyone ever heard the term "flat-backed"? the "law and order" marathon of which i spoke earlier is chockfull of such useful lingo. flat-backed is just the latest. my favorite however will forever be "hcp." (hard-core prostitute for all you lay-people out there.) that dick wolf, man, is a genius. smartest man alive if you ask me. next to bret michaels. keeping the peta girl was brilliant on his part. well done, bret, well done.
