Post your best caption for these fine chaps in the comments.  I'll award a million points to the best one (and not to me).

I was stunned to learn that a popular thing for dames do in the absence of dudes is debate who is the "Sexiest Senator."  The hands-down favorite, according to off-the-record sources, is Scott Brown (R-MA, 2010-?).

Yeah, sure, I guess he's kind of cute... if noses shaped like portly tulip bulbs are your sort of thing. 

Ladies... as always, you should've just asked me first, because I always happen to carry around my definitive list of sexiest senators.

Honorable Mentions:

• Chauncey Goodrich (F-CT, 1807-13) 
• William Upham (W-VT, 1843-53)
• Al Franken (D-MN, 2009-?)
• Ephraim Bateman (A-NJ, 1826-29)
• William C.C. Claiborne (DR-LA, 1817)
• Henry "Hubba Hubba" Hubbard (D-NH, 1835-41)
• Duncan Upshaw Fletcher (D-FL, 1909-36)
• Roscoe Conkling (R-NY, 1867-81)

Despite whatever we may think about the stimulus plan, we can all agree that a fully-realized high speed rail system in America will allow our nation's busy hobos to criss-cross the country in record time.  Just think about the boost our economy will get when hobos are more efficiently able to trade beans for stories.

I can think of at least 800 hobos who stand to gain.  Perhaps they'll be on next year's Fortune 800 list?

Get a job, hippie!  Quit looking at your psychedelia and playing with your imagination.  Oh wait... in this case they're actually mathematicians.  Well... get a real job!

Also, it's revealed that the Grateful Dead were sharp businessmen.  

The whole world has gone topsy-turvy.  This chart won't help clear anything up:

I decree that the following words or phrases should be considered derogatory, profane, or otherwise unfit for use in polite company by the year 2011. 

• Ausgezeichnet

Let's put our shaming fingers to work!

We try to run a fair points competition here at 2log.  And by fair, I mean grossly dishonest, corrupt, and prone to bribery.

But while conducting my routine audit of last week's points competition, I came across something weird.  The winner of last week was one Ms. Florence the Diva Horse, a.k.a. Flo Sparkles Divine, a commenter who appeared once about a year ago and never commented since.

But you see, the particular algorithm that calculates the winner of the 2log points competition is something like the Goblet of Fire from Harry Potter.  It seems to work by magic, and its word is gospel.  In Harry Potter's fourth year, all of Hogwarts was atwitter when the goblet of fire chose Harry Potter as a fourth competitor for the Triwizard Tournament, in clear violation of the rules of the tournament guidelines.  In his infinite wisdom, Dumbledore assumed the goblet knew best and allowed the contest to continue with all four, and was ultimately vindicated when the Triwizard Tournament ended with the death of the much-maligned Cedric Diggory (SPOILER ALERT).

Similarly, we may think it odd that the 2log has chosen "Flo Sparkles Divine" to win last week's competition, but we have to accept its wisdom.  Thanks to all the 2loggers for your hard work writing entertaining articles for our readership, but roll out the red carpet for this week's reigning champion... that horse.

Dcs!

Every man remembers his or her first suit. 

I was in college, and needed to assemble a suit for an interview in NY. 

The coat I stole from the drama department's poorly guarded costume room.

The shirt was a short sleeve collared shirt with the Pepsi logo proudly emblazoned over my left boob.  During the interview, I couldn't move my left arm for fear of being exposed as a Pepsi sympathizer.

I recall the pants being sweat pants, or something like it.

I didn't get the job, but I'm still proud.  If I could make that look so good, I can make anything look so good.
