hooters does have good wings

But seriously, you just knew the Hulk's mom was gonna be awesome.

So priceless.

"Grandma, when was the last time you were [at Hooters]?"
"I think it was last week, wasn't it?... oh, it was yesterday!"

And then at Fashion Bug:
"I don't know if you remember me. Hulk Hogan's mother."

I have a new respect for Hulk Hogan now that I know he helps his mom shop for Depends.

I wonder if she turns the oxygen off before she smokes her camel sans filter? I do, cuz I believe in SAFETY FIRST!

I love how she walks the fine line, yes to the hoochie shirt but no to the stripper heels. Grandson's 'please gramma be normal' expression was awesome.

Did anyone notice Brooke's expression when grammy tells her mother to shuttup!
O-MAZING!

"You need a little shawl over that."
"No, I don't."

She's hilarious.

I find this very nearly wholesome.

And I like it.

My new life aspiration is to be exactly like this woman.

She's VH1's next reality superstar.

That's it. She's coming to my next tea party and will be sitting between Doris Lessing and Helen Mirren. (Elizabeth Taylor's going to be sitting next to me.)

Ruth is the irascible, smoking version of Bjork.

@Moley: ditto, but the asian version

Haha, " Would you shut up?"

Um.....that's my grandma. Especially the part where she tells her daughter-in-law to "shut up." Also, my grandma is meaner and farts in public.

She is so fiesty I LUV IT! I want to grow old and still kick tush!

"You need a little shawl over it-"
" No. I. Dont!"
I'm sorry, but this is...oh, I luv dis.

My grandma loves fashion bug too! But she won't wear low cut tops-she told me "nobody needs to see wrinkly boobs". so slightly classier, but she would totally go for the clear shoes.

Oh, I can only imagine what Ruth had to say during the latest family crisis, she's one sassy granny! Hulk seems quite attentive to her, very sweet.

Depends, a low-cut halter top and those stripper club heels? My first post... is it to mean to say Tara Reid in 20 years?

She kicks ass. That was awesome!

i hope she kicked the shit out of nick hogan after the drunk driving/best friend is now a vegetable incident.

@DrunkMonroe is totally sober!!!!!!!!!!!!!: I love that too. "I'm damn sexy, I don't need to cover anything up."

Jesus Christo, Brooke is lovely when she wipes the six layers of bronzer and Wet -n- Wild off her face!

I want to be like her when I am that age.

OMG!! I love the lady. Hulk so totally adores his mom. I have a whole new respect for him.

@JessicaLovejoy: Stars & Dykes Forever!:
I know! I hardly recognized Brooke.

Hulk Hogan's Mom is sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

fuckling cool.

I miss my grandma right now.

really

she was very fiesty. There are no words! I bet some one else out there might miss your grandma?

So funny to see them out and about in town, I used to see the Hulk and Nick at Blockbusters years ago getting movies and games. Just funny to see folks you see in real life all the time on tv doing the same thing we do. And I agree Brooke is beautiful without all the make-up and bleached ass hair.

It has been interesting to follow the split in the local papers they have been covering it big time. Now that the affair with Brooke's bff is out I'm sure Linda is going to clean up in the divorce.

Ruth!

But I'm confused about the card thing. Ruth bought the card for Hulk, but acted it like was from the daughter?

And did they really need to follow her into the Adult Diapers section? Being jokey and mean spirited about incontinence always seemed so cruel... it's not like she's messing herself on purpose.

No, but DUDE. Srsly. I'll say it again. Do you read this shit before you publish it ?

"...featuring Hulk Hogan's mother Ruth, who she is nothing short of awesome."

How many words long is this post anyway ? Like, four ? And you still couldn't take the time to proofread. Please don't contribute to the ridiculous stereotype that women don't know who how to write. PLEASE. Reduce, Reuse, Re-read.

@RedHotz: That lady is seriously rad. Loves it.

@gunshy007: I know, right? She looked AMAZING.

@Elephant-Island: You leave SM alone!! ::throws rotten veggies::

@Elephant-Island:

"Please don't contribute to the ridiculous stereotype that women don't know who how to write _____"

5th grade language arts excercise #20:

Please write the missing word in this incomplete sentence.

Choose:

A): Well

B): Correctly

C): Sorta kinda OK

[Please remove "who," unless you're trying to be a clever devil].

@Elephant-Island: She's the best Pot Psychologist around. Leave he alone. Methinks you need a session on her couch, it might rid you of the pedant.

God, she reminds me so much of my grandma! Except mine dressed like a normal grandma. But totally rocked the same attitude.

And I agree, Brooke looks beautiful with less makeup!

@Cam/ron: Wow. Ha ha. Incredible attempt at being a grammarian. I commend you. Unfortunately, the structure "to know how to + verb" never requires a qualitative adverb. Do you speak any other languages ? French perhaps ? Savoir + ecrire = to know how to write. There is no semantic need whatsoever for "bien" or "well" in the sentence. At all. Try correcting everyone who advocates literacy by saying, "No, no, Mister. The students must not learn how to read, but how to read WELL." Unless you yourself are particularly handicapped with the English language and need the extra adverb to explicitly state what any average reader would sense implicitly (that is, that the emphasis is on a successful achievement of the thing-to-be-known), your lesson is gratuitous and silly. Nice try, though ! Maybe you should look into enrolling in that Language Arts class.

@mepo: For an example of pedantic grammar, see above your own comment.

Again, I know others have, but I won't readily submit to the clique behavior on this site. Did none of you notice how, during the so-called "Reader Executions," many commenters voiced feeling uncomfortable because of the unnecessary girl-on-girl stuff ? You'll need to explain to me why the second one fairly criticizes a writer at Jezebel, a group of blindly allegiant robots appear out of nowhere in attack mode, saying stupid schoolyard crap like, "Leave SM alone or I'll throw rotten vegetables at you !!" The only thing that deserves a response like that would be a hurtful comment, like, "Slut Machine's an ugly whore," "Moe's a crackhead trick,"et cetera. Instead, however, I made the valid point that I think this site would benefit from a little more committed editing. And while I don't feel the need to justify my presence here, I will go ahead and say that I've expressed three times as many positive things here than I have negative.

And as a quick note to the others commenting here, sorry to descend into a bitchy faux-treatise on the mechanics of grammar, which has never been my criticism of the writing on Jezebel. It was directed, obviously, at the unwarranted little dig above.

I love how she told Linda to shut up. You know Hulk has wanted to do that SOO many times.

Elephant, I think the point that Cam/ron was making was that there was a typo in your own sentence. One suggests proof reading?

@Elephant-Island: while i understand what you're trying to say, i think the objection amongst the jezzies was to the way you said it. "fair criticism" is one thing, being a bitchy pedant about it is quite another.

we are none of us perfect on here, and slut machine is no exception, so perhaps you should find a blog that better meets your high standards?

and STFU.

@Auffed_By_Heidi: That actually wasn't the point. Read Cam/Ron's post again.

@charlotte corday: We are none of us paid to write here.

@Elephant-Island: it's a pity your clearly excellent education didn't impart to you a sense of kindness, charity, or penitence.

@charlotte corday: And I think it's unfair to say that high standards constitute wanting a publication (whether online or in physical print) to be properly edited. See, for an example of this so-called impossibly high standard, Gawker.com.

Also, "STFU" ? And your response started out so civilly...

@Elephant-Island: There's a time and a place for correcting grammatical errors, but methinks a post in which we're all encouraged to discuss Hulk Hogan's mother's Depends probably isn't that place.

@cinemaddict: I hear you, definitely. I guess the errors just seem so ubiquitous and I felt the need to say something at this particular moment. But I get your point.

@Elephant-Island: Actually, the occasional typo makes it past even professional writers and editors, who spend LOTS of time going over a piece. I've found typos in novels and magazines, and I know Random House has line and copy editors. It happens. I think the reason people were so offended was the tone, not so much the correction. If you'd said something like "Hey, I noticed a typo in this sentence" you might have gotten a "thanks eagle eyes" but it came off as a stabby finger of "YOU! YOU are responsible for downfall of women's advancement in journalism!" was a bit over the top.

@Elephant-Island: I get yours, too. See guys, that was easy.

Does Hogan always wear shirts with pictures of himself on it? Or does he only do this for "reality" television?

I'm surprised he didn't say "brother" at all during he entire clip. The guy has Brother Tourette's.

@HS Kinn: That makes a good deal of sense. I really appreciate that. And I see how my comment, within a thread on the Hogans no less, would seem bizarrely condemnatory, especially because of a typo.

I was talking to the bf a second ago about this whole thing and, by actually speaking about it to an interlocutor who replied in real-time, I actually more concretely found the words for what it is that bugs me when I see this site looking a bit messy. It's that I see so much hostility and general assholery directed at Jezebel--mostly by fat-headed fuckups who think we just talk about clothes and the color pink on this site--and I enjoy the feeling of seeing, daily, how ridiculously wrong these critics are when reading the various intriguing threads here. But, at the same time, I think it's both a precarious and precious position to be in: not only are the writers here speaking to a large (and sometimes malleable) group of women, but how they write and what they write about, to me, represents a fantastic rebuttal, in and of itself, to any naysayers. That said, I guess I feel, like I said above, that it would really benefit the quality of the site if the editing were a bit more committed. I understand your point about copy-editors and the ubiquity of typos in books, but at Jezebel, the items are usually 100-word posts without the dint of a giant Penguin (publisher) peering over your shoulder, repeating the coordinates of a deadline. So, yeah, I think the reduced urgency should allow for a more thorough job. But by the looks of it, I guess that's just me (and the jerks over at the Gawker message board).

In any case, I do thank you for your rational response, which in turn inspired reason in me as well ! Ha ha.

@HS Kinn: Um, yeah, definitely forgot to add that your point is well taken, re: the tone of my initial comment. I think, above all, that was the stickler. But what I elaborate on above will (hopefully) explain why I sound(ed) so pettish.

@Elephant-Island: i honestly don't know where you get the idea that women can't write, however, my point about penitence came from your very own comment:

"How many words long is this post anyway ? Like, four ? And you still couldn't take the time to proofread. Please don't contribute to the ridiculous stereotype that women don't know who how to write. PLEASE. Reduce, Reuse, Re-read."

"women don't know who how to write"? come now, bitching slut machine out for not proofing her "shit" at 7pm on a holiday friday, and claiming that she's "contributing to a ridiculous stereotype", while doing the exact same thing, seems hilariously, unintentionally, ironic.

@Elephant-Island: There's a typo in your verbal bitch slap about proofreading. Pot, meet kettle.

@Elephant-Island: I'll just use your own words for this rant "PLEASE. Reduce, Reuse, Re-read."

Debbie Downer much? WTF? Anyway, @everyone else: Hi, I'm a new commenter here! Nice to meet you funny bitches.

@charlotte corday: You don't know where I get the idea that women can't write ? Maybe you should read Gender Trouble if you'd like an introduction to the masculinization of writing and the resultant marring of the woman's reputation for an aptitude at written composition. Uh, not sure why I even have to explain that the prejudice exists, so I'm going to stop now.

Also, in regards to your magical triad of "kindness, charity, or penitence," would you mind, before you go, telling me where "STFU" fits in with that ideology ? Not kindness, certainly. Penitence ? Hmm. Not a good fit either. So you see we all dabble a bit in irony, yes ?

@Elephant-Island: actually, i was being ironic with the STFU-- it was in reference to hulk hogan's mother in the video posted above. my apologies if it was not obvious.

and as for paying any attention to people whose opinions are plainly absurd-- i.e. anyone who posits that women as an entire gender cannot write-- i just don't. there are men who think women as a gender drive badly, and i don't accuse every woman who uses less than sound judgment while at the wheel of contributing to a negative stereotype.

you sound very well balanced-- a chip on BOTH shoulders!

This is a lot less cool than the Bjork thread we had going last week.

Bjork was hoping for a resurgence of the Bjork thread.

This post became surprisingly hostile...

@charlotte corday: I'm pleased to see you've remembered those grammar lessons from 10th grade French class and still carry around your thesaurus. Sometimes I like to whip out my knowledge of random French words. Sometimes I like to say, "je ne port pas un chapeau." For all you dumbasses out there, it means I'm not wearing a hat, and it's very important, like myself.
