The Monkees made the sideways belt (somewhat) popular back in the 60′s. I would imagine it would be really awkward if you got caught short, though – unbuckle belt, unthread belt, drop trousers…

Couldn't they even cut the trailer to make it seem like great stuff? Apparently not. Great OMG usage, by the way. I am also quite fond of the term "embiggen" which promptly made me giggle.

But starting a "flame war" in a school newspaper is easier than shooting fish in a barrel, and a lot more tedious. Queen of Everything: You comments remind me of reading the Eragon book. It was like a course on how to over describe anything. For example, water never "boiled", it was always a "rolling boil". I swear "rolling boil" was on every page of that book. It's like he wrote the book, than uses "Find/Replace" to doubled the length of the book. Ampersand: Oh, I wish I could take credit for that!

It's caused some ardent Twilight fans to get very much up in arms. And there's nothing funnier in this world than up-in-arms BYU students writing letters to the Daily Universe.

That's all it's good for.

All we know is that SHE thinks she is plain and unattractive, which really just means that she is, ya know, a teenage girl. Along those same lines, all we really know about how Edward looks is that a teenage girl thinks he is beautiful and gorgeous and the most attractive man in the history of the world, which means absolutely nothing.
