OK, by now we've probably all heard that Carrie Fisher has become the newest spokes-celebrity for Jenny Craig and gone public with her "battle of the bulge." I'm not an especial fan of Jenny Craig, or any commercial weight loss program for that matter, but never mind. What annoys me is the attempts to retroactively claim that the cruel remarks ( Read more... )

Gakked from ghanistarkiller Admittedly, this was a while ago, but still worth gakking.

I placed exclamation points next to the names of the guys that I would not just definitely but EMPHATICALLY sex it up with. The emphasis is in direct proportion to the number of exclamation points. You do the math. ;-)

1. Bold the names of guys you'd definitely sex it up with.

"Mondegreen" is the official term for a misheard song lyric, coined in the 1950s by a woman who had long misheard the lyrics of a folk ballad thusly:

"They killed the Earl of Murray
And Lady Mondegreen."

Turned out the lyrics were:

"They killed the Earl of Murray
And laid him on the green."

Anyway...for the longest time, my favorite part of the Prince ( Read more... )

FYI:
While some of the quotes provided are done so from memory, and others are amalgamations of many quotes, they are all 100% genuine...I didn't make any of them up. Believe me, in some cases, I wish I had.

They can't spell "Anakin." I've seen them write "Anikan," "Annikin," "Annakin," etc.

They shoehorn weak jokes about "Queen Armadillo" into ( Read more... )

Two talented guys whose respective works I've very much enjoyed. ESB is my favorite of the SW movies, and I've laughed myself silly over Leslie "Don't call me Shirley" Nielsen's comic antics in "Airplane" and the "Naked Gun" movies.

George Lucas posted a very nice tribute to Kersh on starwars.com:

"The world has lost a great director and one of the ( Read more... )

...now I am interested in yet another notorious crime from a way-bygone era.

There I was, innocently channel-surfing, and then I landed on a Discovery channel program about Lizzie Borden. I've heard of her, of course; just about every self-respecting true crime fan or horror-phile (I'm the latter) has heard of Lizzie Borden, if not the ghoulish ( Read more... )

As we all know, Carrie Fisher admitted to using cocaine on the set of ESB, and it caused a firestorm. Carrie wrote out an explanation on her blog, ending it with an amusing comment about Lucas making another movie with the geriatric Mr. and Mrs. Solo on the shopping planet

Well, a bedwetter showed up, and after offering some "No problem, Carrie" ( Read more... )

The first real rain of the season. I welcome it with bells on!!!!

Evidently the furor over her confession to using cocaine on the set of ESB has gotten back to her. She's currently in Australia, on tour for her one-woman show, "Wishful Drinking."

This is directly from her blog (any grammatical, spelling, or punctuation errors are hers):

Okay you guys- here’s what I told whoever the hell it was down here down under ( Read more... )

I talked to my sister a few days ago. She has apparently gotten past the "denial" and "anger" stages of grief and gone into "acceptance." She's accepted that her husband is going to die...not only that, but she is HOPING for him to die, and not just so he won't be in any more pain, but so she won't be in any more pain.

She said, "I know that sounds ( Read more... )
