cim: that gettyimages image of the girls playing footsie in fancy shoes is on everyone's icons and now there's one of those bestseller-type books in the airports with it on the cover
wax: [unimpressed silence]
cim: you know the one...
wax: ...
cim: the dressy... formal shoes...
wax: ...
cim: two women's feet... :decides wax isn't acting impressed enough:
cim's brain: it would entertain and satisfy me to pretend to pour this empty glass of water over her head and she wouldn't even see since i'm behind her. 
cim's brain: but maybe i should check if it's really empty first.
cim's brain: too late anyway.  it probably is.
wax:  AUUGH!  WHAT DID YOU DO?
cim:  um.  i... dripped... water on you.

I SAW that book the other day at Barnes and Noble! It had me so confused for a good fifteen seconds.

me too. in my head it permanently belongs to the first people i saw using it constantly, namely online girlfriends brc and egyptdreams. i always think of them when i see it.

also? getty images for a book cover? NOT COOL. text-only would've been better, morons! also, that pictures is of playing FOOTSIE and from the back of the book, it's about two sisters who find out they have more in common than they thought blah blah blah. evidently they're heterosexual and not into incest so. almost the dumbest possible cover, although of course the picture's very eye-catching and appealing...
