You know, Andy Warhol lived with his mother for years. All through the Factory heyday. She never realized he was gay. She just watched girls come and go, but nothing was ever serious...
Oh, Michael Lohan. I don't know if you claim that you used to get chills "in a good way" when you kissed your daughter, but FYI, that's pretty fucking creepy.
Per Mel Gibson's getting the DUI/sugartits expunged:
Can that REALLY matter when I PERSONALLY have a file about 9 inches thick in my drawer at work with articles/files on the incident? REALLY? Anyone is going to forget that because it's not in your file? If that's how it works, I think it would be a better career move to go to IMDB and get Apocalypto expunged.
@Maritsa: Err, I'm positive that you don't mean it this way, but Maura Tierney dropped out because she has breast cancer. Your post comes off a tad insensitive.
@Maritsa: Man Maritsa I didn't know you had the power to give people breast cancer for your entertainment gains!? Maybe eat more yoplait and buy more pink products to keep the evil at bay.
I'm sure Lorelai will honor Maura by being awesome (even if I've never heard of this show).
@TexasCrude: Don't toy with my affections TC avatar twin, I really admire you too much to think that maybe this is what the kids call snark? This is where the "sarcasm font" would really come in handy ;) not for my comment, I was sincere. Damn it. I need to get some sleep.
@TransFat: No! No! I shoulda added like, I don't know, "touche" or something? It was grand.
I think snark should have a flourish to it like, *~*~*~God must have spent a little more time on you, TF*~*~*~ then we wouldn't be so confused all the time about who's joking.
It is a pet peeve of mine when British tabloids do some sort of Queen's English translator on American interviewees. I am almost positive that Justin's grandma didn't say "keen to marry." I have never met an American who said "keen to." Keen on? Yes.
Also the Queen's English translator makes me less inclined to believe the author of the story.
@lonewolfer: My southern relatives say keen all the time. They are from up in the mountains in the corner of Virginia that touches WV, Kentucky and Tenn.
@applejuice: Yeah, mine say keen and they are from Kentucky. I say keen, and I'm an American. Actually, Southern American English has similarites to British English. :)
@Red-headed bookworm:
I didn't say that southern people didn't say keen. I said they didn't say "keen to." Which is different than saying "keen on," which I know is common.
@quatrevingtquatre: I get your point, and it is probably generally true, but I am sure I have heard my relative's use it both ways. They are from the mountains and they still speak differently - it really is like they are behind the times on a lot of word usages and many I think are more like from colonial times.
But I totally agree with you that the brit papers/tabloids totally rewrite what people say in that way. I live in the UK and the number of times I have seen them have a person from the US use the word "Mummy" instead of "Mommy" etc is countless!
You know, a good friend told me exactly what Padma says about pregnancy and the itching belly. And she used to pour creams an oils on the belly like there was no tomorrow, and she still kept scratching like she was having a serious case of fleas in the abdominal area.
@Casquivana: I got it after I had the baby. Holy fuck it was bad. I had to use cortisone cream and it still itched. It seriously makes me want to cry just thinking about it!

Last Christmas, I gave you my heart but the very next day you gave it away. This year, to save me from tears, I'll give it to someone special.
Signed,
