I was having nightmares about that. I have a very sensitive face that doesn't like being punched. Not to mention, some bruises take away some of my seductive powers.

What if I punch your face using a piece of poop sculpted into Obama's head?

You should be thankful I'm not your employer, cause I'd be more tempted for firing you for being so uptight about things that don't really matter.

Then I would laugh at you for touching that piece of necromancy! Oh, and I would duck so that you missed me too.

Abe is back???!!!

Cody was pretty hot. Nobody knows what Abe looked like, he was just a mystery through and through, that was the genius in him.

What I want to know is where your name came about, Starman? Every time I read your name out loud I think of you enjoying yourself playing Super Mario brothers and collecting stars that make you invincible. I LOVE it when the invincibility music comes on and Mario gets to go apeshit.. doo doo doot dee doot doot do doot!!

Do you play a lot of Super Mario brothers Starman? Which one is your favorite? Have you finished the new Wii game yet? Do you ever get confused in real life and think that you can hit your head on bricks? Hhahahaha... I bet you're always jumping up and hitting things hoping to get mushrooms, because I know that video games are gateways to act out the things you wish you could do in real life. I know that I would be rescuing that princess if she were in distress, she's pretty hot. I'd tap that princess ass. Which do you think is the hottest princess in all of the Mario games, Starman?

bessy,
You remind me of the poor 6th grader that comes to the rescue of the girl he has a massive crush on, without realizing what he's doing. I didn't know you had such a crush on shif.

Oh, I realize what I'm doing... I'm setting you up to become friends with Shif again. See, all you have to do is jump over me and grab that hammer, destroy the bridge, and you've won! Or, you could also star up and then just touch me, or maybe throw a turtle at me. There is even a turtle here on MacNN!

SpaceMonkey · Jan 19, 2010, 03:56 PM

I suggest you two settle this with a game of pool.

i think there are several outfits in the Babes thread that would work

starman · Jan 19, 2010, 05:03 PM

I'm just happy that shif has turned her ~~blog~~ live journal into a shrine to me. I mean, think about it - every time someone goes to her site, there's a post about me. It's so touching. I asked her to remove it and she refused, proving to the world that she loves me just that much.

Touching.

Yeah, let it go, shif. Take your own advice someday, wouldya?

andi*pandi · Jan 19, 2010, 05:04 PM

If I may interrupt mario and luigi for a moment...

Docs or other comfy non-sneaker shoes.
Non-dress pants. Corduroy sounds fine but makes me think you need to wear a sweater with it. Button shirt with funky cardigan or vest. Show a little personality. Wear argyle socks, or skull earrings, or something that might spark a conversation.

All the apple employees I've ever seen are wearing jeans and a tshirt, so I can't think it would matter too much.

I'm not the one that keeps a post about her on my web site. Think about it.

This thread must be Diet Drama, because it may have no calories, but it tastes like shit compared to regular MacNN drama.

probably her mustache is what got her banned from the prom. :vomit

shifuimam · Jan 19, 2010, 05:16 PM

That's her upper lip.

Yeah, right. You document your grudges here at 'NN. Is that better ?

shifuimam · Jan 19, 2010, 05:19 PM

I don't know what would possess any teenage girl to think a "dress" like that is remotely appropriate for a high school dance.

Maybe I'm just out of the loop.

BlueSky · Jan 19, 2010, 05:30 PM

The Final Dakar · Jan 19, 2010, 05:31 PM

Finally, a good post.

andi*pandi · Jan 19, 2010, 05:35 PM

The heels and skirt aren't quite right, but I do like that top if Shif can carry it off.

shifuimam · Jan 19, 2010, 06:07 PM

Totally not my style. I'm not a hipster at all. I'll have to go through my closet this week...

If she's even a little bit careful, there's no reason why anyone would be able to connect her Real World persona with her Internet persona. For example, nothing I say as "Wiskedjak" can be connected with my real name. I assume this to be the same with *anybody* who makes controversial statements on the Internet. Anyone who doesn't separate their online personas from their Real World personas is a fool.

dcmacdaddy · 01:00 AM

For a cool look pair the sweater from the top photo with the pants from the bottom photo.

Or, just go with this outfit but wear a bra you can't see through the shirt.

It's not. I've noticed at the local store that most of the staff are pretty normal looking, but there's a few that look like they should be standing on the corner asking me for change.

I think that this little personal issue that's being brought up (yet again) should be handled via PM or any other venue that allows myself and everyone else that doesn't care to not be subjected to it (yet again). And by "I think" I mean "The editing of posts starts at this point". I think this dead horse has been beat plenty in the public purview, thanks very much.

Shif, good luck with the interview.

Let me put it another way. I know what to look for. She hasn't been careful enough.

There's no such thing as true anonymity anymore. Even the most well-known internet personas have eventually slipped up.

Here's another idea: don't say anything an employer could use against you. Ever.

Yes, but if you're obsessed with me and know both my real name and my Internet handle, you can put two and two together. However, if all you know is my real name or all you know is my Internet handle, it would take a hell of a lot of effort to make the connection.

I think that the obsession (or the bitter never-ending grudge, in this case) is key, though.

Thanks for picking like the worst picture ever out of my entire flickr collection.

I agree. I think that both The Grudge and the public airing of it have gone on quite long enough, thankyouverymuch.

Shif, good luck with the interview.

Thank you. I am quite excited about it as it gets closer to go-time.

Yeah, I'd go khakis or cords with a sweater and some funky accessory (that is, if you're into that sort of thing)

Excellent!

Seriously. I like that t-shirt over dressy-casual shirt and the pairing with the cargo pants give you a bit of a funky vibe. (Just a bit, though). Or you could pair that outfit with a nice pair of "dressy" jeans. Either way you would be good to go.

Shif, I've got to say, you've got some teeth on you. I noticed them in a lot of your pics on Flickr. When you smile you've got a whole mouthful of teeth on display. It makes for a big, bright smile but it is kinda freaky in a Hollywood-perfect-teeth kinda way. Which I am assuming is *not* the case with you. (e.g.: you didn't pay large sums of money to get all your teeth capped and whitened.)
