When I was in college, I heard a student refer to her SO as "lover," which though unnecessarily descriptive was frequently used by gay friends. Imagine our shock when we discovered her lover was a man.

is there someone creepier on tv?

Tony Robbins really creeps me out.

Ron Popeil is a tie.

Edited to add "for second," b/c Tony Robbins wins first place. Thanks, Coltrane.

True, but I don't think people do those things because anything has changed about them. They're still having the same internal conversations at 45 that they were having at 16. They've just had longer to brood about their unhappiness.

Actually, I'm a lot calmer now that I'm older. The nice thing about your thirties is you've still got the physical health to play a pick up game of anything and party like a rock star, but you're a little wiser and things don't quite bother you as much. You're not a seasoned veteran of life by any means, but you're comfortable with the ropes. There's a comfort in that. The confidence that comes with approaching the mid thirties is nice. I think its a sort of a prime of life. I can't imagine just how great it would be if I was lucky enough to do something I liked. That really must be an amazing feeling... but hey, not too many of us bat 1000.

There's a Saturday Night Live skit about this. Apparently pretty popular, but I saw it recently and thought it was stupid.

[notcasesensitive]

Anyone gotten this poll running yet? In light of his ailing health (still? again?), should we start one up? I'll take 2/1/04.

Also I can't believe that guy is only 83. Doesn't he seem about 100? Think it has anything to do with the shooting (well, other than the fact that they had to take a yard of his intestine out, I mean)? Is it possible for a Pope to retire or is that never done?

And has Mother Teresa been sainted already? I thought a person had to be dead for like 14 years or something, but I read in the cnn story on the Pope that he is missing a service for Saint Teresa of Calcutta. Her?

So many questions...

I sorta like Ron. He's stood the test of time with his cheesieness.

Edited to say and the k. Hollow victory these days, but still.

Congratulations to you, and to all of us for 25,000 posts!

How did the perky blonde lady with the bad perm and bad dye job get that gig and all the other kitchen gigs, by the way? Is it because she's unfailingly chipper and blandly not unattractive, so she doesn't intimidate the women in the audience?

I'll also note that the hosts on the shopping channels are creepy, particularly the women, with their wide-eyed wonder over all of the shit that they're hawking.

And I'll take you to a Notre Dame game, where you can count the number of hot girls on your thumb.

Its like they shaved the bovine on the farms surrounding South Bend and taught them to talk and wear long skirts.

I saw a picture of him recently.

So, my vote would be, last March.

I have to put Blasedow over Tony bc first off, I have to look at his near naked ethiopian meets tori spelling body throughout the commercial (he seems to think he is hot for some reason). Also, I saw Robbins in a movie (Shallow Hal?) where he made himself seem more normal. But yeah, in his informercials, freak.

The good news is, that part only gets better. Right now, I'd peg the prime of life as early forties.

He's like Bobby Bowden. Senile as hell, but all the assistants prop him up so he can hold on for the record. I think the Pope is second on the all time Mass list, behind Pius XVIII.
