Because Ed Norton would never say "cooties"?

I'm not sure where mine falls in the spectrum, so I guess I'll stand firm with it until directed to do otherwise. I do still miss gwnc's Kim Possible. Surely Atticus has that cached somewhere?

I was kind of counting on that. Esp when I saw Kim Possible the other day and "sweet, sweet piece of cartoon ass" was the first thing that went through my head. when I have a moment, I'll redouble my search for her.

That's somewhere on the truly endless list of reasons, yes.

Though, I bet Ed would rim.

Guinness is now owned by Diageo, the giantest alcholic drinks company in all of the land.

I didn't know Maggiano's was a chain until a year ago.

I generally don't like / won't go to chain restaurants, but I have a thing for Maggiano's farfalle with chicken, asparagus and spinach.

I've been thinking about this Michael Jackson case for a little while and, although I don't want to remove the concept of personal responsibility from the analysis of a grown man's actions, I think there is a lot going on here.

Michael Jackson has no idea what reality is.
Aside from his dad beating his ass and his brothers making fun of his skin and nose, Michael doesn't know what a normal life even looks like. The guy was not allowed to grow up. Wasn't he given some kind of hormone treatment to keep his voice high? Wasn't he encouraged to act like a child all through the Thriller years? Could anyone see that his relationship with Berry Gordy was unhealthy? The more effeminate and child-like Michael acted, the more successful he was. His every day relationships were formed with lawyers and producers, who, quite clearly were looking to profit from him, while keeping him at arm's length. Combine this with the fact that wherever the guy turned, someone was telling him not to grow up and it seems natural that he would only be able to form friendships with children.

The fact that he showed up to court late, looking like Captain Crunch or wearing pajamas or whatever means that he thinks court is like anywhere else. He can get there on his schedule, someone will usher him through it, people will defer to him and idolize him once they are around him in person and everything will turn out okay because someone who works for him will pay whoever is necessary. Climbing on top of a car, doing dance moves and waving to adoring fans outside of court shows he thinks this is like everything else in his life.

The guy literally lives in Neverland.

Michael Jackson has a child's mentality.
I think Michael is molesting these boys. But I don't think he sees it as molestation. Since he hasn't been allowed to mature as a normal human being would and can't understand what a normal, healthy sexual relationship even looks like, he probably experiments. Because he is a child and spends all his time with children, I'm sure he believes that he is on their level and that the urges he has, they have. He has been accused of touching them (and masturbating), but not having sex with them or kissing them. There is no question that this is molestation. But it's like he's trying to experiment with the people who he believes understand him and are on his level somehow. I think he thinks other people believe what he is accused of doing is wrong (which is why he would try to hide it), but I don't think he actually thinks so.

Think about it. What child molester would get up in front of anyone (let alone millions of people) and say that it is okay for a 40 year old man to share his bed with a 12 year old boy? One that actually thinks that it isn't wrong. He's trying to convince everyone else that it's okay. He thinks he's just like them and (on some levels) mentally, he is.

Jail won't even fix Michael because he's too big and too far gone.
Michael probably won't see jail time because his lawyers are good, the alleged victim and his family are suspect (at best) and because he is a huge star.

I think if Michael had a genuine experience in jail, it might do something for him. But he won't. If he does go to jail, he will be segregated from the general population because he is a star and his lawyers will have an argument that he is a target. If he somehow does end up amongst other inmates, the normal child-molester punishments carried out by inmates won't apply because he is Michael Jackson and will be protected. At worst, jail will be a nuisance for Michael and reality won't even creep in for him there.

Michael Jackson will die young.
I think he's going to commit suicide relatively soon, no matter how the case turns out. He doesn't have unlimited money, he won't be allowed to be a complete child anymore and he really does have no friends. His surgeries and age will catch up to him and he won't be able to fool even himself soon. I can't even picture a 60 year old Michael and I bet he can't and won't either.

It's too bad that the things that made him so popular for so long are the things that will keep him from understanding what it is like to be a normal human being. I don't think it has ever been that fun being Michael Jackson, even with all the money and it must be hell now. Shit, it's in his best interests to completely avoid reality now.

What a fucking waste.

I have thought about this too. As in, can you plead insanity to pederasty and if so, why isnt he? I think as truly fucked up as he is and his life has been, I think he has control issues as well and is supermanipulative. I think he might know whats going on a little more than you think. But then again, so might an eleven year old boy. See for example "jesus juice". If there was someone I would think would be a no ndrinker, its this guy. But he gets alcohol, feeds it to little boys and calls it jesus juice? There is some definite intent there. He knows what he is doing.

Plus, he only goes after the boys. Again, he is suiting his own selfish (and NAMBLAesque) needs. Either he is actually a seven year old boy who hates all girls, or something more intentioanlly sinister is going on here.

And I can't believe he is 45 or 46. He wil be the same at sixty but with less nose and less money. Or maybe he will kill himself and go to heaven with the little boys. If he is truly a man-child, then he will think it will be like Neverland up above. Part of me wonders if the part that does get what is going on can cope with death.

How about this as my alternative? Maybe I can create a sock called "Not Bob's Schtick."

Last time I was at a Maggiano's, I saw a roach walking along the wall (a little above table height), trailing some lint from its back leg.

I ate the rest of my lunch, but it was a little offputting.

If that's the standard around here, you need to switch your avatar over to the pre-Jenny Craig Kirstie Alley.

You're not very subtle. Fringey is. The cat is a well-known symbol of spinsterhood, which is in turn a well-known result of fatness. Fringey is playing on her own image.

I'm a hissing cat. Christ. Get over yourself.

Not Bob, you need to get the Cinderella (or whoever) song to play to go with the Nobody's Fool avatar -- which, actually, I think is inapposite (look that up, ncs). You aren't an upstate NY kind of guy. Or, your persona isn't. I don't think they have Piggly Wigglys up there.
