Beauty AND Brains! "At first we were blown away by her beauty. Then we read one of her articles and we've been hooked ever since. Now we're blown away by her brains." Meet the lovely and perspicuous Gabrielle Reilly! She has the Gift of the Gab!
  • Cool link, Wolfo! Where did you find this aweseome thing?
  • First, Mandy, I was blown away by your beauty. Then I read some of your work, and I've been hooked ever since. Could you post a pic of you in a swimsuit?
  • You're not getting anything until I see that one of you with the oven mitt.
  • Is the smell of in-joke in this thread overpowering the underlying notes of blackberry and pencil-shavings?
  • I thought that was your aftershave I was smelling. Unless...are you growing a beard?
  • No, although I am partial to setting them on fire.
  • But Katie Holmes seems like such a nice girl, why would you want to do such a thing to her?
  • My religion demands it.
  • I don't know the joke, but whatshername endorsed hypocrite and liar Howard Kaloogian on her site which is a ban-from-existence-worthy offense in my book. (yes, Iraq is just fine, now look at this nice picture of Istanbul we accidentally said was in Iraq... oh and these pictures of Iraq I took in Florida)
  • April Fool's!
  • Mord - yeah, this woman's endorsement of Howard Kaloogian was pointed out on Talking Points Memo earlier today. Still freaky, though.
  • That Katie Holmes thing was so good it had to be pre-scripted.
  • The recent bombing of the London underground was the worst attack on England since the Nazi's dropped bombs on England during WWII. Let me repeat that, the recent bombing of London's underground was the worst attack on England since the Nazi's dropped bombs on England during WWII. The dramatic emphasis will hopefully bring a broader understanding of two points This is brilliant.
  • neither beauty nor brains, what a rip off.
  • The same standards of responsibility for our words need to apply for Hollywood liberals who are dedicated to defaming America which incites more terrorism. Please, no offense *hugs* Now put on the bikini when you say that to me.
  • The Reillys were all a bunch of ne'er-do-wells, same as the O'Reillys.
  • And curse the Kerrs, while yer at it.
  • "At first we were blown away by her beauty. Now we're blown away by her brains." Let's riff! At first we were blown away by her oven mitts. Now we're blown away by her aftershave.
  • Now why couldn't Dick Cheney have taken her quail hunting? I suppose there's still hope.
  • At first we were blown away by her taking "attention whore" to a new level. Now we're blown away by anything else at all that we can find to do with our time other than surf her pathetic, narcissistic web site.
  • No, this is Gift of Gab.
  • Nay! This is the true and unadulterated Gift o' the Gab: Hearhasting he, himmed, reromembered all the chubbs, chipps, chaffs, chuckinpucks and chaney chimebells That he had mistributed in port, park, pantry and poultryhouse, While they, thered, the others, that are, were most emulously concerned to cupturing the last dropes of summour down through their grooves of blarneying. Ere the sockson locked at the dure. Which he would, shuttingshure. And lave them to sture. -- James Joyce, Finnegan's Wake
  • I remember reading the first page of that book. It was the best hour of my life.
  • As usual, Flashboy is absolutely right. So, although she is a fine piece of split brain, there is more to be said for and by cartoonists and the intrinsic value of freedom of thought, even in a world that has itself become a sort of global concentration camp, which I think is pretty well backed up by this link to a (local) Philadelphia editorial cartoonist of value to monkeys
  • i'd hit it
  • You mean perspicacious?
  • Nice link, Dan Folkus. Enjoyed the essay.
  • You mean perspicacious? You own a dictionary?
  • well golly, I'd jsut assumed she was see-through!
  • I can't seem to shake the sneaking suspicion that Gabby's a dude.
  • Pre-op, Fes.
  • Have ye read that tome from head to tail, bees? I got through maybe three pages, bt intend to revisit prehaps during field school this summer.
  • She'd be perfect! I say we ask her to step in immediately!
