Allison (thebookwheel) Parents who complain about how their children inconvenience their lives on Facebook. Adding the F word just makes me mad.

Hi Allison! Hi Tardistherine! I enjoy going to The Hater's Club when I feel like bitching about Facebook. It is fun. Smetch and Nick and once upon a time Montambo were there but now I don't know for sure. That was my first GR group, back in 2007.

Snark, mostly. Lots of jest.

It's fun.

Friggin' Madonna... Gimme a break. That halftime show last night was megalomania with a capital ME. The Stones look equally as ridiculous these days - well, maybe a little more - but at least they can play instruments.

Sure, she can’t sing, but who cares? That microphone she was carrying around was as useless as tits on a nun. But it’s all about the spectacle of the stage show - including a cadre of gay boys who worship her - which is busier than a cat covering shit. The Bangles should be filing a complaint for plagiarism.

God bless Eugene Polley for inventing the mute button.

The highlight was MIA giving the audience the finger. I would have liked it a hell of a lot more if she had been the main act.

And then friggin' Budweiser used some moron rapping over the Cult's "She Sells Sanctuary" as the backdrop to one of their ads.

Hey hip hoppers: stop shitting all over my memories.

I think he means vomit, hurl, upchuck.

I'm not sure why. Either because MIA gave the audience the finger and upset his delicate sensibilities, or because that was the highlight, or because he doesn't like MIA, or because the whole thing was a bore. I haven't seen it myself so I can't comment.

Ok, now that I get the actual meaning of the word "boot" in this context, I'm a little less confused. But only a little.

Yak at the sidewalk, the old technicolor yawn, drive the bus, pray to the porcelain goddess...

 ~Geektastic~ (atroskity) | 3205 comments "Technicolor yawn." That's a new one I'm adding to my repertoire.


message 1464: by Philip (last edited Feb 07, 2012 08:12AM) (new)

Philip (phil99) One thing that bugs me, and should, is the misuse of the word "like". I've given up correcting my daughters when they insert "like" into a sentence. I no longer say "No, it's not like, it is".

The only other thing that bugs me is having to work for a living, but that's unavoidable.

Cynthia Paschen | 7333 comments I don't know who/what MIA is.


message 1466: by Sarah (new)

Sarah | 13814 comments She's a British/Sri Lankan rapper/singer. She's put out some interesting stuff. If you saw Slumdog Millionaire you heard her song playing while they jumped the train.


message 1467: by Cynthia (new)

Cynthia Paschen | 7333 comments Oh! I own and love the soundtrack to Slumdog Millionaire! I just did not know her band name. Thank you as always, Ms. Pi.

I'm not much into hip hop, but I like her. She's fiesty and her music is often political and socially conscious.

Kevin  (ksprink) | 11469 comments i like her music too but not too impressed with her giving everyone the finger on live TV plus it was madonna's show that MIA was invited to. if you want to be edgy do it on your own platform.

Honestly, it looked unintentional to me. I think she just had a hard time adjusting her typical performance style. Was it dumb? Sure. Bad taste? Definitely. But I don't think it was a deliberate statement or anything. That's just my take.


message 1472: by Phil (new)

Phil | 11837 comments We had the show on in the background while we waited for more commercials.

I fully believe it would be impossible for me to care any less about this meaningless drama than I currently do. On my attention meter this measures somewhere between a Kardashian and that crying guy on YouTube ("leave britney alone!").


message 1473: by Cynthia (new)

Cynthia Paschen | 7333 comments Crying guy?

message 1479: by Jammies (new)

Jammies Catherine, he probably did, but since you're is a recognized contraction, it wasn't flagged. What depresses me about your post is that the guy makes $30k/year more than you do and he can't tell the difference between two common homonyms. *sigh*

Phil | 11837 comments Relax and have some tahini. The weekend is moments away.


message 1481: by Phil (new)

Phil | 11837 comments He actually hasn't updated me for a couple of weeks. My guess is he's found a good painkiller. I'll have to check with him. We've been so caught up in my FIL's health issues that the others have fallen to the side.

I think I've seen all of those. Which episode is it? Is it the original Wiggles team? Inquiring minds must know!

Nobody followed this with Sally Forth?




message 1494: by Phil (new)

Phil | 11837 comments "Sally Forth" recently did a dumb thing where they had a week of strips about "what if Sally and Ted had never met and married?"

I'm glad that's over with.


message 1495: by Sarah (new)

Sarah | 13814 comments What did she do instead?


message 1496: by Phil (new)

Phil | 11837 comments She was a single lady, still employed at the same place and working for Ralph. He (Ted) was forty years old and working at a toy store. It was a completely clunky story, which ended with her interviewing him for a job and the two of them having slips of the tongue about dating/marriage. Not at all good.

They had to get married. Who else would spawn that evil girl-child of theirs?

The Grammys were on at Casa Clark the other night and it was all I could do not to spew barnacles. It's more than obvious that the days of finding stardom through a rough combination of dues paying and genuine talent - not custody battles, smoke, mirrors, and wardrobe malfunctions - have gone the way of the dodo.

And whatever happened to traveling light? Seems like dragging around a team of handlers, trainers, therapists, linguists, donors, spokesmen, media consultants, speechwriters, image makers, spin doctors, crisis teams, spiritual gurus, food tasters, pollsters, pundits, wags, wonks, interstate bagmen, unindicted co-conspirators, miscellaneous hangers-on and three bimbos who look like the Mandrell sisters is a lot of trouble to go through just to go up on stage with an army of back-up dancers to distract from the fact that you just can't sing.

Feh...

Clark - Maybe you would like to watch re-runs of the Lawrence Walk Show? Just kidding of course!! Watching that show could give you "nightmares".
