Greetings from Cave City, Kentucky! The meeting is going really well, thanks for asking; in fact, we've been slightly ahead of schedule (the decision to invalidate all absentee and proxy votes saved a couple of hours right there), so I decided to take advantage of my hotel room's high-speed web access to post a few notes.
- Everybody can stop e-mailing, IMing, and accosting me on the street: I had absolutely nothing to do with this:
The Storybook Romance Comes To An End For Barbie And Ken
I mean, who the hell decided that it would be a good idea to announce this couple two freaking days before Valentine's Day?! Makes me think somebody at Mattel has been checking out a certain site.
MALIBU, Calif. (February 12, 2004) - After more than 43 years together, Hollywood's quintessential "doll" of a couple, Barbie and Ken, have decided to spend some time apart. Although Barbie® has befriended some of the world's most famous celebrities, from popular boy bands to super secret agent spies, Ken® always remained her #1 sweetheart. After all, Ken has been Barbie doll's biggest supporter for more than four decades, by her side from her early career as a teen fashion model to her recent turn as movie starlet. Their relationship was so revered that other successful celebrity pairings were often dubbed "Barbie and Ken." - I need some help completing this list:
1970's: John Oates.
Were the 1990's woefully short on talent-lopsided duos or am I missing somebody obvious?
1980's: Andrew Ridgely.
1990's: ?
2000's: Meg White. - And no, D'Lish, I had nothing to do with this either. I mean, seriously, a pool cue? You know I prefer shovels for my road-rage incidents.
