Let's not let her list of ailments distract us from her main problem: she is one of the worst dressers in history, and no matter how hot one may think she is, eventually, one would have to appear in public with her.
Would post a photo, but can't. Which is just as well, for all your sakes.

No, she should not have perfectly coiffed hair. Instead a wisp of it always falls forward across her glasses, requiring the action figure to distractedly (and endearingly) push it back while explaining yet again why paying $75,364.69 to "rent" a TV on a weekly basis is a bad idea.
Hmm. Reminds me of someone....

These calls are usually scams. Many states and municipalities ban them altogether. I've been told (by a NYC police charity) that no legitimate NYC police charity solicits by telephone. Which makes sense, given the NYC police departments historical devotion to really amazing graft.
If the alleged police charity doesn't actively encourage you to call your local cophouse to check them out and give you names (of the org, telemarketing co. if any, and the full name of the individual calling), a local street address and a local call-back number to donate, just hang up.

Which one was it? I never see them when they first air -- I catch up on the weekends, so I've got to make sure I don't miss it. My most recent favorite moment (this was not a recent episode, but it was the most recent one I saw) was watching Jai's face when he found the schlub's kid's "He-Man, Masters of the Universe" sword in a closet. The expression on his face when it lights up and says "I HAVE THE POWER!!!!" was priceless.

Two thoughts:
1. Which one is Kyan? (and how do you pronounce it? like the pepper?) Is he the "grooming" guy?
2. Re: widely-available. Now I know you're just trying to irk me. Well, it's working, mister.

After the first five minutes of the reveal, I realized why.
Because it was, and turned out to be, the funniest fucking 20 minutes that has been on TV in a very long time. I couldn't turn away. It was a worse train wreck than any episode of "The Office," and that shit was fictional.

1) what is "golem"?
2) I had given up on this show but was checking out the Restaurant which I missed on NBC due to someone'es misguided rec. I left bravo on and QE was on. What was so exceptionally funny about the reveal? I did enjoy a couple of lines like "that mother is going to take her shirt off" and "a mint julep is an Irish mojito", and the silence was kinda funny, but otherwise? please rehash for me. I was doind laundry so maybe I missed it?
Also, how is Jai pronounced? "hi"?
EDITED to clarify that I missed the restauant bc I thought it would suck and then someone recommended I see it so I tuned in. First instinct correct. It sucks. Em's rec was misguided.
and now I am turning into RP

I believe you are missing a comma in the above sentence. It changes the meaning significantly, because for a select few, "no being Pope" is NOT for life....

Excerpts from the link:
DOB: (December 3, 1960- )
Jackson Browne gave her a black eye and broke her finger in 1962
Damn! That Jackson Browne is one sick fuck. It's bad enough to abuse her (or anyone, for that matter) when she's all growed up -- but to seek out a two-year-old and break her finger. That's just uncool, man.
Edited to say: Shit. Abba beat me to it -- and was much more clever too. You bitch!

Grooming guy. Rhymes with Ryan. Apparently, St. Kyan was the patron saint of black jeans and vertically striped collared shirts.

I knew y'all'd enjoy that little nugget. It's also why I said the autism is "alleged."

I'm with you, sister.
I'm a mom and pop store kind of guy. I generally try to avoid the really big stores when I can, even if I have to pay a little more. When Blockbuster's business plan involves locating already successful video rental shops and opening literally adjacent to them, it pisses me off.
But the last time I moved, I went down to the local video rental place and asked for forms to sign up. I filled out the form, gave two credit card numbers, but skipped the social security information.
When I gave it to him and he asked me to fill it in, I asked him why he needed it.
He said, "It's just precautionary."
I said, "You have two of my credit cards in case I decide to run off with a dvd or video that's been viewed by 67 people already and cost you, at most, $10 - $30. Why do you need my social security number?"
He said, "It's store policy." [Boy do I love that one. Who came up with this, by the way? And why do people hear that and then walk away, accepting it happily?]
I said, "Are you the manager or do you own this store?"
He said, "I own it."
I said, "So it's your policy."
He said, "Yeah, I guess so."
I said, "Can you explain the reasons behind setting up such a policy?"
He said, "It's precautionary in nature."
I said, "Well, that clears it up. Don't you realize that people lose their identities to crooks everyday because some jackass clerk at the video store is careless with applications like these and leaves them laying around for anyone to pick up?"
He said, "I assure you, we are very careful with the applications."
I said, pointing to one of the applications that had been sitting next to the register since I came in, "You mean like this one?"
He said, "Well, yeah. And I'm sorry if it upsets you, but it's store policy. Everyone who rents here has to fill it out."
I said, "Give me back my application," ripped it up and finished with, "I can't wait until Blockbuster knocks you off this block. But in the meantime, I'll rent from the other video store two blocks away from here, dumbass."
