Smell My Finger

Us Weekly breathlessly reports up to the minute news from the front lines of celebrity vanity projects. It just posted this vital update to its website.

Reese Witherspoon: My New Fragrance
Reflects "My Life"

Really? That's awesome, Reese. So I guess it smells like highlights, tooth whitener and Jake Gyllenhaal's taint. I know there are more than a few readers out there wishing for a scratch 'n sniff of that last one. Avon calling!

Overheard on Halloween

At Life Without Feck, we love nothing more than a feckless group of kids. I just heard this on the corner of 29th Street and 35th Avenue in Queens and submitted it to Overheard in New York:

Group of children in costume, chanting in unison:

WE WANT MORE CANDY!
WE WANT MORE CANDY!
NO MORE APPLES!
NO MORE APPLES!

Ironically, the New Yorkers who used to dress like every day was Halloween and ingest all manner of unknown compounds in the name of fun have grown into puckered-butt adults afraid of refined sugar. Perhaps those younguns will return later to decorate...with recycled toilet paper, of course.

PS: What would the vegan parents of a kid who'd thrown eggs at a house say? Would they think they'd raised a serial killer?
