"We now return you to your regularly scheduled life..."

[ScreamingMeemie]

Of watching endless coverage of Michael Jackson entering and leaving the courthouse.

:hi:

[JimmyJazz]

1. You know, I heard there might be

a war going on or something like that....No, I must be wrong. If there were, we would hear about it on the news, wouldn't we? :o

[bigwillq]

2. And a record deficit, soaring gas prices

NO WMD, NO OSAMA.......:eyes:

[ScreamingMeemie]

4. What? Those things can't be helped. That is just the nature of life.

You need to re focus on Mary-Kate and Ashley. ;)

[JimmyJazz]

5. And don't forget the weight gain of Britney Spears!

That poor girl! :eyes:

[ScreamingMeemie]

17. And Nick and Jessica..and their not breaking up...and their show is

over after two glorious years!!!!

[bigwillq]

18. I'm devastated over that one!

:eyes:

[ScreamingMeemie]

20. I cried in my pillow, I'm telling you.

:hi:

btw, HI bigwill!!!! How are you today? We're having our third consecutive day of springlike weather!!! And I couldn't be happier.

[bigwillq]

22. So are we in CT!

Sunny and going to be close to 60! LOVIN' IT!:bounce:


I'm well. I never really DU this early but lately I've had the itch to post in the morning!:hi:

[ScreamingMeemie]

23. Yes, it is strange to see you around this early. Then there's silly

me, who is sometimes here off and on from 5 AM to 12 ish AM at night. I really must do something with my life. Perhaps, compile my posts into book form...? :)

[bigwillq]

24. I would read that book!

I'm sure it'll have me LMAO! and :rofl:

[ScreamingMeemie]

25. ...and there will be tons of mention of you, so I'd give you a percentage.

Off topic: We've done a great job of hijacking my own thread here. :hi:

[bigwillq]

26. I want at least 20%!

I love hijacking!





What about Demi and Ashton? Are they preggo? Are they not? That one keeps me up at night?:silly:

[ScreamingMeemie]

27. Demi is, but she's pulling the ulitmate Punk on Ashton.

It's Bruce's baby. :o

[bigwillq]

28. Springsteen's?

:P

[ScreamingMeemie]

29. Boxleitner's

:wow:

[bigwillq]

31. So who's winning the Bachelor?

:shrug:


The suspense is killing me.

[ScreamingMeemie]

32. I don't know. I've been so busy watching Peter Brady on "The Surreal Life"

hooking up with "America's Top Model" that I've grown lax in my "Bachelor" watching. It just doesn't "do much" for me anymore. ;)

[bigwillq]

33. I just can't wait for Flavor Flav and Bridget's

show to start to air.


They're my couple of the year:silly:

[ScreamingMeemie]

34. I know, I'm all pins and needles just thinking about it.

:hi:

[bigwillq]

35. Shrub on--

Now that's must see TV! How many "umm's" will he say this time?:shrug:

[ScreamingMeemie]

36. I can't watch. I haven't been able to watch more than three seconds of

him in the last two years.

funny, true story. MrG knew I was going to be okay when he came into my I.C.U. room and I was sleeping; the television was on and Bush was giving a speech...and I mumbled,"Asshat". :hi:

[bigwillq]

37. LOL!

I can't stand to listen to him either. Every time he speaks I have the urge to yell "Asswipe" "Loser" "Liar" "Killer" at the screen.

[ScreamingMeemie]

3. But that is not really important when we have such huge happenings like

Brad and Jen and Charlie and whatserface breaking up. ;)

[JimmyJazz]

8. Oh how terrilby sad - what's this world coming to when

celebrity couples can't make their marriage work???????

[terrya]

6. Wasn't there this privatization of Social Security thing?

Silly me...it's only going to effect millions of Americans...including my 72 year old mom, who depends on her ss benefits to live on and is wondering how it's going to impact on her...

But, for goodness' sake, let's completely obsess about Michael fucking Jackson, ok? Let's remember it's "Bread and Circuses" time in America.

[ScreamingMeemie]

12. Yes, right, but he wore PAJAMA PANTS to the courthouse, Terry!

Can't you see the relevance in that???? ;)

[terrya]

15. Oh...PAJAMA PANTS!! Right, Mrs G.

My goodness, that's worth at least a week's worth of "Larry King Live". How silly of me. :-)

[progmom]

21. problems? what problems?

[progmom]

7. did you know that he was wearing pajama pants?

I mean...really!

:wow:

[JimmyJazz]

9. OMG - and I think he may have had

plastic surgery, too. :o

[ScreamingMeemie]

14. I know, I know....what's next for this country? Bras on the Beach?

The horror.

[Dukkha]

10. Wasn't there an earthquake this week?

I heard a lot of people died but they weren't christians so fuck them

[JimmyJazz]

11. C'mon - an adulterous sleezeball was killing his already

brain dead wife and you're worried about a bunch of brown skinned people? What's wrong with you???? :sarcasm: <---- in case it wasn't obvious.

[Katidid]

13. Good Morning MrsGrumpy

A friend sent me the lyrics to a song called "Dirty Laundry" - by Don Henley - last night. I don't remember the song, but then I guess I really didn't listen to words. I guess it's from the 70's. Does anyone else remember this ... prophetic piece of prose?

Dirty Laundry

I make my living off the evening news
Just give me something-something I can use
People love it when you lose,
They love dirty laundry

Well, I coulda been an actor, but I wound up here
I just have to look good, I don’t have to be clear
Come and whisper in my ear
Give us dirty laundry

Kick ’em when they’re up
Kick ’em when they’re down
Kick ’em when they’re up
Kick ’em when they’re down
Kick ’em when they’re up
Kick ’em when they’re down
Kick ’em when they’re up
Kick ’em all around

We got the bubble-headed-bleach-blonde who
Comes on at five
She can tell you ’bout the plane crash with a gleam
In her eye
It’s interesting when people die-
Give us dirty laundry

Can we film the operation?
Is the head dead yet?
You know, the boys in the newsroom got a
Running bet
Get the widow on the set!
We need dirty laundry

You don’t really need to find out what’s going on
You don’t really want to know just how far it’s gone
Just leave well enough alone
Eat your dirty laundry

Kick ’em when they’re up
Kick ’em when they’re down
Kick ’em when they’re up
Kick ’em when they’re down

Kick ’em when they’re up
Kick ’em when they’re down
Kick ’em when they’re stiff
Kick ’em all around

Dirty little secrets
Dirty little lies
We got our dirty little fingers in everybody’s pie
We love to cut you down to size
We love dirty laundry

We can do the innuendo
We can dance and sing
When it’s said and done we haven’t told you a thing
We all know that crap is king
Give us dirty laundry!

:hi:

[ScreamingMeemie]

16. Katdid!!! That's an excellent anthem for today's news coverage!!!

:yourock:

[tigereye]

19. I never knew what all the words were

thanks. And that song is almost 20 years old, isn't it?

sad that the deaths of hundreds or thousands of people go unnoticed while people involve themselves in what should be a private death.

[qnr]

30. I love not having television reception :) n/t
