@prismatism: This week, my french teacher (who has a very thick accent) tried to explain to one of her students what a bidet is: "It like a shower for your private parts." #jongosselinballoonboy
"tardy for the party" was used on Family Guy, Season 3, Episode 1 – Aired: 7/11/2001
I was laying around watching the DVD's and this episode came on and I did a double take when Brian said it. She didn't coin the phrase, Seth Macfarlane did. #jongosselinballoonboy
But one great clip thats missing is from divorce court and a couple was getting divorced because she treated her dog better than her husband. Much of the show went like this, "Grace ann ate his t bone cause he was late coming home" or "I love my precious baby of course I had her strapped in a car seat, cause my last dog jumped out the window.
I'm pretty sure there's actually been quite a few televised colonics. I can remember one on Jackass, and one on the Simple Life when Paris and Nicole were camp counselors (don't judge me). Does Tyra also think she brought rock n' roll to the United States? That she invented the internet? That she was the first person to ever model clothes? One thing we can attribute to her for sure is SMIZING. We'll always have SMIZE. #jongosselinballoonboy
@HighSchoolFearleader: I remember the Jackass one, too! The whole cast gathered around the machine's porthole to watch Johnny Knoxville's excrement float by. Tyra said that this was the first live televised colonic, though, and those other shows were taped, so I guess that's where the innovation is. #jongosselinballoonboy
I think their style is much closer to that of Bebe, actually. I couldn't think of a better match...but I don't anyone is going to be stretching their creative muscles. #kimkardashianclothingline
I'm rather surprised Pam Anderson is doing a swimsuit line (especially since Baywatch went off the air like 40 years ago), and not a line of itsy bitsy teeny weeny white shorts and see-through white tops, which is her calling card. She could call it B*Muse.
I work a couple of doors down from a Bebe store. Every time I pass by, I think, "I can picture the Kardashian sisters wearing all of this." So, this makes perfect sense to me. Good luck to them. #kimkardashianclothingline
As a 44-year-old re-entering the dating pool after 19 years, I think part of the new wave of "cougarness" is generational. I don't particularly want to date a man older than me by more than a couple of years because that puts him squarely into the Boomer set. I relate much better to men 5-10 years younger; we listen to the same music, watch the same tv shows and movies. There's a huge cliff of fuddy-duddy for men currently hitting about 52. I guess that makes me a newly minted cougar, but it's not because I want "young meat", I just want a guy I can talk to w/o it feeling like I'm talking to my dad.
Oh, and I actually do want to get married, since it would be my first.
Listen, I'm 52 and twice-divorced and I will be SHOCKED if I get married again--mostly because I don't WANT to be married again. Many women I know my age feel the same way. Do they factor this into their study?
What I think is ridiculous is that I'm 19 and my crush-of-the-moment is 16, and already I get cougar jokes. When I tell friends about the crush, I feel have to justify it ("16 is legal, you know," "he's really smart and mature for his age, more than most of the guys I know in college," etc. etc.) because it gets so many weird looks and mean comments. It's happened to some of my friends who go for younger guys as well. Meanwhile, boys my age with girlfriends (or potential-girlfriends) still in high school don't have to make any excuses about their relationships. The only one I know who gets made fun of for it, it's because of the fact that he's engaged to her, not because of how old she is. With girls who get crushes on or date older guys, it's "cute" rather than "creepy."
In essence, though the cougar stereotype is mostly leveled at women over 35, the truth is that our culture is uncomfortable with any relationship where the woman appears to have the power rather than the man, and because our culture is also "ageist," it's assumed the older person has the power over the younger. So older woman, younger men relationships are threatening to the patriarchal power structure. This is why our culture is perfectly okay with the whole Playboy ideal, but the reverse - a la Harold and Maude - is seen as "creepy." And this is why even a young woman, even in cases where the two partners are fairly close in age, has to deal with flack for dating someone younger than herself.

He gave me a ring,
but it didn't mean a thing.
I discussed my wicked bling,
but not on Larry King.
Bridesmaids always come with 'em,
but they also gotta get some with 'em.
Courtney Cox said menstruation,
for the first time in our nation.
Al Reynolds is still gay,
He gotta come out one day.
Tyra Banks got diarrhea,
But it went up? ... I got no idea.
Judy's got some suggestions,
"DON'T ANSWER 'UMM' TO MY QUESTIONS!"
Jon Gosselin don't need no dermabrasion,
His skin is perfect - he's an asian.
Begin Chorus:
He gave me a ring,
but it didn't mean a thing. #jongosselinballoonboy

I love Tyra's description of what a colonic is, she's five years old and it's great. I love her.
Judge Judy is a guru. #jongosselinballoonboy
