The shapeless dough of the internet, formed into tasty pellets and baked to perfection, just for you. More end of year lists! How we love them. First up is Mr. Skin's Top 20 Celebrity Nude Scenes of 2008 (via; it's actually mostly safe for work, as there's no actual nudity on the page, but keep in mind the language is rather... florid—plus there's multiple ads for Playboy).

The shapeless dough of the internet, formed into tasty pellets and baked to perfection, just for you.

God Bless John Oates. And his 'stache. It is time once again to pour out your "fictional" stories to the wise gurus at CP. As we mourn Prop 8, a reminder that there are some different options on how to proceed—and how to think about the idea of marriage in general.

This is the green issue, so it's appropriate to read it online. Then grab a bite to eat. If you've got the cash and time, try "Philly's greenest restaurateur." We Shop Eco. Make sure Fido is on board with the eco-friendliness. We really can't take it that far though. And biking in the city still scares us. Lessons learned from the Olympics.

What was the best part of Invincible? Was it the story of triumph and struggle in the harsh economy of the Carter Years? WRONG! Was it the extremely well shot and realistic football scenes? Not even close! How about the strong bond of brotherhood and friendship in a tight-knit but emotionally stunted community of uber-masculine guys? Nice try. Well, then, it has to be the sheer unearthly hotness of Elizabeth Banks? Sorta. The best part......
