You look Warholian!
Yes, but they can't see you picking your nose, so there's a positive.
Overwhelmingly white!
I do not like you overexposed.
"uniqueness"
A certain aura, eh.
We all shine on. Like the moon and the stars and the sun ...
Yeah, I am overexposed. So I'm going to go out into the sunshine, which we've actually got some of today, and I'm leaving you guys room to talk.
And I say "guys" knowing that 77% of my readers are male.
Gals are welcome to participate in the Monitor Café too.
So are lizards.

Well what is *that* about??
Well, that is not an incandescent screen. Apple should be able to come up with one,at a price.
By the way, I didn't adjust the hue/temperature to get that color. (I did turn up the saturation), but that turquoise color is straight from the built-in camera operating off the screen light.
"77% of my readers are male."
Althouse keeps track of every detail and yet still has time to go out in the sun ...
A clue for JAL.
Ha ha ha ha. Thank you for posting this, it's hilarious.
"And I say "guys" knowing that 77% of my readers are male."
Or so we say.
Seen this pic? It is Obama and Pelosi from Drudge, I think at the prayer breakfast -- what was that about? Creepy and yucky.

or you can keep your anonymity and still show your face.

Maybe....if you had posts concerning relationships, tips-to-make-him-happy-between-the-sheets, shopping, how-to-lose-10-pounds, and recipes for indulgent cookies, then you could attract more women.
It beats me, but Vogue magazine seems to be able to sell that shit every month.
Creepy and yucky
Yeah, me too!
....but I'm stuck trying to figure out which one is Creepy, and which one is Yucky!!
I became a non-person, a techno-geek, I erased my three dimensional corporeal grossness for ghost-in-the-machine ghastliness...then Meade ran away.
Looks like an MRI of a bad hangover.

Bundle up, then.
If it was 80 out, I'd be the first to say stretch out a sheet in the backyard and soak up Ol' Sol in the swimsuit God gave you, but it's got to be cold up there.
We use 'guys' in a unisex way around here. I'm glad too. Otherwise I'd have to go with y'all and I never felt comfortable with that one.
Althouse is a White Walker!
BUILD A WALL!!!
"77% of my readers are male."
Since this is a heavily conservative blog.
2008 exit polls:
White Men ~ McCain 57/Obama 41
Plus women are the social networkers ie Facebook, etc. :D
Maybe more males dig Althouse, than females as she has that cougar "aura" going on. :)
ok, call me crazy ...
Just finished Fred Stoller's Kindle Single. A thoroughly entertaining story, and also totally innovative in the "I'm-Gonna-Self-Publish" sorta way. I came away from it with admiration and respect for him as a human being. In particular, I love the way he is completely conscious of his own neuroses and those of the people around him, especially his mother and Larry David. The truth that comes from that way of thinking is liberating.
Thanks, Althouse, for mentioning this on your blog. I had heard Fred recently on Mark Maron's WTF podcast, but I wouldn't have read the book if you hadn't recommended it.
You should write a Kindle single, Althouse! I'd buy it, no matter what it is about.
grammar alert - one of the "you"s in your post should be "your".
OK, OK. Little slow. I hadn't had a face full of enlightenment today.
Try this, my hubby's favorite.
And for those unfamiliar -- here is an expert discussion of the Komodo by Bob & Ray.
Prof Althouse,
Why can't you ever post on really important legal issues like at Instapundit?

After a while with Moochelle, I'd guess anybody looks good.
PS OK, you're crazy.
The Professor is wearing glasses.
Komodo dragons have a particular nasty way of killing their prey. Their bite is not venomous of itself, but their mouths are so filthy with germs and bacteria, that their prey dies from infection.
The same thing occurs to my soul when I hear Joy Behar.
The Chinese New Year was recently announced and 2012 will be the year of the Dragon. There was no mention on whether 2012 will also be the year of the Monitor. Carry on.
The 20 Most Beautiful Bookstores in the World
Flavorwire
I feel for Josh.
OK...I've figured it out.
Pelosi is Creepy, and Yucky.
Perhaps only males should participate.
I would like some Althouse swag!
How about a T-Shirt that says:
I shot a shotgun-toting robber at ALDI and all I got was this lousy t-shirt.
Make it yellow with black letters so the criminals notice it and get scared off, and the women notice it and get... uh... how about we say "a little moist".
You can send one to Nazir al-Mujaahid gratis! Address it to his attorney.
I love the Super Bowl. Sorry the Packers didn't make it; I would've liked a Patriots/Cheeseheads matchup. I went over to Trooper York's to see what Giants-induced miasma he was emitting, but alas Casa de Troop is now a gated community. Us 99 percenters can only wonder what goes on in there.
I'm out for the next coupla days, so go Pats.
And I say "guys" knowing that 77% of my readers are male.
Althouse knows that the real interesting conversations are with the kind of men who retire to the drawing room after dinner to discuss politics over cigars and expensive cognac. She realizes this point.
Four hours working outside & it's now time for some 9% ABV La fin du Monde.
Cheers!
For the past several hours, the photo block has been reading:

Ha ha ha ha, there's that funny pikshur agin. Ha ha ha.
@chickenlittle -
Ya' know... La Fin Du Monde makes an excellent chaser to La Bombe Grande. First the wine, then the beer. If you drink them the other way around then the story doesn't make any sense.

A nicely gross myth, that turns out to be not true; Komodo dragons are venemous...

@Fritz -
My goodness! I hope Larry London removed those venomous parts before the dinner party!
Oh, wait... it was all a fraud, wasn't it?
Of course, carrying out a Komodo Fraud is still better than collecting it's poo for your PhD.
DJ - the thing is it takes lots of training to get really good. It's only too bad that trolls like shiloh can't up their game.
@Alex -
Yes it does take training, indeed! And it's best to avoid the alcohol when you are starting out.
DJ - au contraire. I find my best commentating is done under the influence of adult beverages.
@DJ: Wein nach Bier, das rat ich Dir; Bier nach Wein, lass es sein.
Forward!
@Alex -
Is u drinkin' now, dear boy? If so: What?
I am drinking Russian Standard Vodka (1 part) + Red Bull (1 part) + Orange Powerade (2 parts). I call it a "Putin".
@chickenlittle -
Die normalen Regeln in Deutschland sind nicht gut. Nicht, wenn wir über Atombomben, Wein, Bier und reden.
...
Gawd, I love the German word "atombomben".
"atombomben"
Besser: "Kernwaffen"
If you believe in etymological absurdities, Kernwaffen = Corn weapons.
Words change.
@chickenlittle -
Actually there's a kernel of historical connection in your better German word. From They Thought They Were Free, about the rise of Nazi control in Germany:
To live in this process is absolutely not to be able to notice it — please try to believe me — unless one has a much greater degree of political awareness, acuity, than most of us had ever had occasion to develop. Each step was so small, so inconsequential, so well explained or, on occasion, ‘regretted,’ that, unless one were detached from the whole process from the beginning, unless one understood what the whole thing was in principle, what all these ‘little measures’ that no ‘patriotic German’ could resent must some day lead to, one no more saw it developing from day to day than a farmer in his field sees the corn growing. One day it is over his head.
@DJ: Very Barthian of you: link
The key is to be in the middle..
In the middle you find Romney.. trying to take good care of you.
Enthusiasm gap? ie mittens = :zzzz:
Giant confidence being a good thing, after all, if not necessarily Patriotic.
Lessee, GodZero has antagonized the Catholics, the Jews, and the working stiffs.
He's lost about a third of his support among the Hispanics, blacks, yoots, and single moms.
Yeah, he's got nothing to worry about.
WV "monstes" What they call guys like Frankenstein and Dracula in Noo Yawk.
Carnifex I would vote your comment the best of the week
Over the last 5 years, I have learned of the incestuousness of nonprofits and the government, dollars criss-crossing between them, their funding of candidates, the amounts they kept for themselves.
It's disheartening and sad to discover all the bullshit behind their self-congratulatory high moral mask.
Hell, even relative power corrupts absolutely.

I am ahead of you by at least 25 years.

That is, mostly, of later vintage (especially in terms of degree).
t's disheartening and sad to discover all the bullshit behind their self-congratulatory high moral mask.
Welcome to my world, Pogo, welcome to my world (of at least two decades).
Hell, even relative power corrupts absolutely.
On this point, I respectfully disagree, specifically and especially on account of the flat, generalist, broad-brush way in which you stated it.
It's a kudzu of corruption, reader.
And you're right, to a degree, for it seems like even the slightest bit of power tempts the holder to abuse.
Yeah. Fair enough. And so true.
Pogo: Now, that is love. Think: XXOO.
I thought the lizard thing was about the turn to iguanas for meat in Puerto Rico (about time). Mexico should try it too. The place is overrun with iguanas.
Do I dare go to the supermarket today? What time does the SB start? Must find out and plan accordingly.
For those going to South Africa, beware
