They do have three kids. Granted, it's not conclusive proof, but it's suggestive. As to your question, ours is not to reason why, or something like that.

They have four kids, the smallest of which is about 2. Therefore, I submit that at least four acts of intercourse have occurred in which she was a participant--I pass no judgment as to whether the husband or the neighbor did the honors.

One thing I did read about the show is that they tend to spend between $2500 and $10,000 per makeover, depending on the straight guy's means and ability to maintain the changes they make. So, this guy gets more because he has the resources to keep the lifestyle up while the others get less.

Makes sense in a way, I guess, but seems to reward the already successful, or in this case, the cheap...

Happy Thanksgiving, everybody.

I'm here, though at 12:01, I'll be out of here.

While you may not get your wish, you can always get some measure of satisfaction by calling him by his real name... Eddie.

I agree, then, that he is a "nebbish." But I blame it all on his disapproving and overbearing mom (who first suggested the rug on his head). What a manipulative and judgmental bitch

It was a truly class act for Mommie Dearest to look at her son's head, then deliberately turn away.

Okay, he's bald, he's chinless, he's rather a drip. But she can brag to all her catty friends over coffee that he's a LAWYER goddammit (a profession she probably chose for him, another kind move), so what's the Lorena-Bobbitt-of-moms' fucking problem?

Ooooo, and watching that solvent eating away at the toupee goop on his scalp made me cringe. I thought his head was gonna start steaming as the acid bit in.

That's the day I get up at the crack of dawn to drive several hours so I can drink heavily, eat turkey and nap. Ahhh, triptophane (sp?).

I look forward to it every year. If only because it means the stress of the work Wednesday is over. Sheesh people, it's not like this holiday snuck up on you. If you knew it had to go out today why are you waiting until today to start the process.

This reminds me of the show with the young guy who owned an apartment building in NYC but got his furniture from things people threw away. He said he hadn't ever bought anything in the X years that he was dating his girlfriend and looked like Jai kicked him in the nuts when Jai suggested that he (i.e. not the show) pay for a cheap faux silver charm to give her as a present. Not behavior that should be rewarded.

One of favorite shows was George, the bodybuilder/mama's boy who had the bullet scar from saving his mom from the muggers. He deserved a makeover and he needed it too (his apt looked like my grandmother's place).

I think the oldest girl looked dead-on like Grandma so he seems to have spawned at least one--let's just hope that the castrating personality traits aren't genetic.

Does anyone know a brand name, so I can do a search on google or ebay or something? The only boots I've been able to find are overly heavy-duty with steel reinforced toes and shit. Like for firemen. I don't need those - -just the plain old rubber ones for walking around in pastures when it's really muddy.

I made the mistake recently of walking in a muddy pasture with those "closed clog" type shoes. When I went to take a step, my shoe got stuck in the mud, and my foot came flying out and landed in a squishy pond of mud. As I turned around to retrieve my shoe, my other foot came out of its shoe, so I was standing ankle deep in sock feet in a veritable swamp of mud -- undoubtedly with a little horse poo thrown in, but I'm not prepared to think about that yet. Anyway, that's an experience I'd rather not repeat, so please, people, help a gal out!

I just bought a pair at WalMart in anticipation of the repaving of my street. I think that they were in the hunting/fishing/mucking around section of the store.

The people on the other side of the block have been going through the repaving for about four months now, and they all reccomended buying ugly, knee high rubber boots and keeping all of your other shoes in the car, because we'll be trudging through the mud as soon as they start tearing up the street. Their street is almost done, and it looks really good, but the process of tearing up the three feet of asphalt, half a foot of brick and all of the utilities is long and frustrating. Fortunately, the cesspool in front of my house that stays for two weeks every time it rains is a constant reminder that it will be a Good Thing when the street is repaved.

I loved him. Fabio took a bullet for his mom, yet was totally self-effacing and so grateful to the Fab 5 for a house-and-hair makeover. Just charming.

Check gardening catalogs. Here's one link I found. Can't remember which catalog I got mine out of.

A chin implant costs much, much less than $39,000, and with better results than a rug. Obviously this guy didn't get his JD from Chicago, or even UVA.

What was his name? Something like Roger Williams, but I'm pretty sure he didn't found Rhode Island.

Richard Miller, I think. Time for Martindale.

Edit: there are 6 in NJ and 5 in NY; there seems only to be one who's the right age, and he's a double barreled Rutgers man.
