Guy I Thought was Dead, Gossip I Think I Already Knew, and Gums that Bleed (but they do it politely)

Jul 01, 2005 19:27

Why did I think Luther Vandross was already dead? (No, I was not thinking of Barry White; I would not confuse the two.) And why is everyone reporting that Jennifer Garner is pregnant -- didn't we know that already? (I'm aware that the wedding is news, though.) I thought I knew about the pregnancy a few weeks ago.

Most of the stuff I used to rant about here or on DH have become essays.

And by the way -- "This was fun to read!" is exactly the kind of thing that a teacher would (and should) write. You sound just like a teacher!

I hate that stool softener one, too. It is very lame. I mean, my bathroom time is not the best part of my day or anything. It certainly isn't similar to sitting in a big comfy chair. I don't look forward to it and then get all excited and go around saying, "I pooped! And it was soft and comfy!"

I have got to come up with ways to use "LIKE YOUR CRAP," after someone comments on something being soft. "Oh, you think my dog is soft? Well, she is ... just LIKE YOUR CRAP." "Really? A mattress sale? But are they extra-soft ... LIKE YOUR CRAP?"

I am 12 today.

I have not seen the flower-made-of-Serenity-pads commercial. However, I used to know a girl named Serenity. She was a slutty little thing, which makes me wonder if she had some self-esteem issues because of her name.

Oh GOD. Poop talk always makes me giggle (if it's tasteful and if there is such a thing as tasteful poo talk. I mean, stomping poo in the shower: not funny. "Soft...LIKE YOUR CRAP": GREAT!)

Also, the only reason I can think that Colgate would want to use "pink in the sink" is cause it's catchy and the Colgate corporation wants to give you something else to think about when you're standing in the tooth product aisle at Target and wondering "What else can I get for my teefs?" It's kind of like that song about the quadratic equation, catchy and all that (I didn't know about that helpful little jingle till my sister taught it to me after I took my math class last semester. YAY!)

i think it is because Luther Vandross had already had a big stroke or something.

I remembered that this morning -- there was a big article in EW about it when it happened. He never really recovered, did he? That sucks.
