I caught snippets of this last night. Please. Jenny from the block making red beans and rice for whoever the Dateline interviewer was, using a Country Crock butter plastic container as a mixing bowl. Ben walking in and marvelling at Jenny from the Block's cooking prowress. The two walking hand in hand on a dock. Jenny from the Block talking about how she will keep her name professionally, but will be Jennifer Affleck.* The two discussing their nuptuals and how important commitment is to them.

*This part makes me happy because then we can call her J-A, or on formal occasions, JackAss. Did she take any of her other husbands' names? J-O or J-J?

Bravo reran the show last night and I watched on the multiple FB recs.

I liked it far more than I expected. The five makeover guys were really funny.

The blond guy with the Lara Flynn Boyle upper lip was hilarious. And I loved the way they sat around and gossiped about the girls at the gallery -- "she so wants to jump him," etc.

My cable went out last night, so I was stuck watching regular TV. What the heck was the point of ABC's Disco Ball? I confess it was strange to be sitting on my couch instead of in Jacques* watching a drag show. Some men (Bruce Vilanch) should not use bright red lipstick.

If you get BBC America check out the new comedy Super Hero. Caught an episode on Wednesday night before the cable went out, it's hysterical. Ardal O'Hanlon (Dougal in Father Ted) plays Thermoman/George Sunday. It's on Wednesday nights at 9.

I thought we were going to start calling him B-Lo.

Shit. Don't tell me that. I already paid for the his and hers "Publicity Whore" and "Fucking Moron" monogrammed towels.

I forgot the part where the interviewer asked whether Matt Damon would give a toast at the wedding. Jenny from the Block has this look like "over my dead body", then covered by mentioning that Casey, and not Matt, would be best man.

Also, Jenny from the Block does not let Ben get a word in edgewise. He appeared irritated to me. He is a Fucking Moron.

He lives in FORT WORTH. We didn't need to know the value of his house to draw your conclusions. But that probably is a lot of money for Ft. Worth.

You didn't coin vurp, Tim Allen did, back when he was just a stand up.

Thanks for playing though.

I believe that's referred to as "acid reflux." Say hello to esophageal cancer.

All jokes aside, this guy was acting like (trying to act like) the creme of the crop and his folks' house is only worth $700k? You need at least a $2 million abode to talk like that. I guess true old money wouldn't have even thought about writing that email though, right Paigow?

Not to knock words and phrases coined by your own bad ass self, but "vurp" is working its way to standard usage. Just cuz I care, if gastroesophageal reflux is a regular occurrence you might want to see a doc.

And, as to the godfather of porn, according to, "Reefer Madness: And Other Tales from the American Underground" by Eric Schlosser of "Fast Food Nation" fame, look no further than Reuben Sturman.

Throw Up In My Mouth has been used for years by the Sport's Guy, formerly known as the Boston Sport's Guy...

Depends on the frame of reference. The Bass family has much more than that... (but less than they had before Disney stock tanked)

I'm sure this will offend the more religious posters out there, who will see this as an attack on their beliefs. Tough.

[Spree: news story on Pat Robertson clarifying his death wish to the Court]

Pat Robertson, asking for God to "Retire" Three Liberal Justices

Dear God:

Pick Three, any Three. Perhaps one of the sick ones could fall down the stairs through the grace of your mercy.

Your faithful servant,

Pat

OK, I'm sure this was directed in part at me, so I'll bite, even if I know I'm going to regret it.

The idea of praying for guidance or even praying for your own needs and desires or the needs and desires of others around you makes a lot of sense to me. I believe that Jehovah is just and caring and will listen to our prayers; but Jehovah is also all knowing and works in mysterious ways. The presumption of the Pat Robertson's of the world is to claim to know both what Jehovah desires for us and how Jehovah will steer us there. Pat Robertson, like many others, has fallen to the temptation to pray for Jehovah to do what Pat desires rather than to pray for guidance from above.

There's nothing offensive to me in ridiculing him a bit for this; he has been presumpsuous in his prayers and, in my mind, doesn't really appreciate the worth of prayer. However, just as I'm fairly immune to a few jokes about my religion (heard most of them before), I'd bet he is pretty immune to the barbs as well. Maybe we would all be better off praying for guidance for Mr. Robertson?

Probably has much more to do with is boarding school education - the Loomis Chaffee School.

Oh right. My mistake. They have beaucoup bucks. Maybe the intern is a Bass!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Hiding under a different name. Do the Basses actually live in Ft. Worth?

Amen to that.
