I want to be remembered as a skier

http://www.aftenposten.no/english/local ... 923266.ece may be the finest bit of self-publicity of the year. ""I am very surprised that there has been so much fuss, I am not famous at all. Now that I see the consequences I truly regret doing it," Engesland said, and looks forward to it blowing over quickly." - ho ho ho.

Actually the article under "most tipped", "Record meteorite hit Norway", is the really interesting story today.

Bookmarking the entire newspaper is worthwhile, it's so often got a slant all of its own.

I wonder what people do with their copies after posing for such things. Do they put it out as a coffee table book in their living room? Or just put it on their library shelf with the other magazines in that section?

I'm unsure as to what I would say if someone presented me with their centerpage upon sitting down for tea.

I thought she was genuinely surprised and rather naively sweet and she should get the benefit of the doubt, besides which that's a very tasteful picture that could hang with propriety, enlarged to poster size, on any wall in the house. I expect she gave her mother one as a souvenir.

That was only the preview. It says the next issue has more photos and they become more pornographic. Then she'll have two books for her guests to peruse.

"In this page the photographer managed to compliment my **** with shadows and light. The hairstylist was amazing, by the way."

Great slink, though.

While you're there, you might find "A large and unusually bold hare was apparently so irritated when a dogsled team entered its territory that it went on the attack, in an otherwise peaceful forested area of northern Norway."

You wouldn't get that in the Washington Post.

My hare's like that sometimes, it gets so I can't do a thing with it.

I refuse to go back to barber jokes or to use the T word again, it's too easy.

I had a reputation before you arrived. Gone for all time.

Trust me, I know my stuff.I had my hair cut in November 2004 and again in August 2005 and a sprucing in November. It's getting a bit wild again. Every time I go in and find Mario for another SBS he asks after the children, lord know how he remembers who's who.

Actually, it's probably that which has infected my eye this week, whenever the weather turns warm and my hair's long it whips into my eyes and I end up rubbing them.

It was amusing. Just didn't want spot to miss the insult.

I'd post one of you, Pinky, but after seeing your cat I was afraid
