Which I caught the first twenty minutes of so bc it was on after Celebrity Poker (who is Emily Proctor?). That guy was a total Hot Topix shopper wasnt he? I bet str8 had a hard time sitting through that one. Sorry, pal.

I don't know her either. I think they said she was a West Wing person (but obviously not A list for the show or she would be on next week with the rest of them).

They so hooked that guy up on QE (freakin Jimmy Hendix photo). Must be because he is on tv.

Also they talked about a reunion show that will show how the SG's from season 1 are doing now. Not sure when that will air.

Success makes people miserable.

That rings hollow when the rent is three weeks late, the car needs a new tranny, and you find out Junior has ADD and can get special counseling and tutoring, but for a fee.

I don't think parents are so concerned that Junior can afford to buy Aruba. I think the concern is more centered on, can he get the tranny, pay the rent, and send Junior, Jr. to counseling when needed.

She was the token Republican in the second season. She had a little flirtatious thing going with Sam for awhile, and then she dropped off the face of the earth.

Was anyone else a little embarrassed for him when he kept rambling on about the age (27) of the deaths of all the musicians? Didn't we all stop talking about that after out sophomore year in college? I thought the famous photographer was going to give him that look that the IT guy always gives me when I attempt to talk IT with him.

I think he was hyperbolically saying that many times parents forget the why and only focus on the what. Why do you want them to be successful? For them, or for you? If them, then why?Maybe they'd be much happier as a less successful but more fulfilled person. I'd want my kids to be happy. Screw success. He/she wants to be a musician? Go for it. Success makes people miserable.

If you look at what I said, I believe it was "want their children to feel successful, whatever that means to them". ("Them" being the children.)

Feeling successful goes a long way towards feeling happy -- and I don't intend successful to be interpreted as "makes a lot of money and drives a fancy car" or whatever else you're going to say -- I mean, derives pleasure from his existence and is contented with his life. What better definition of "success" is there?

People with a lot of resources have more chances to expose junior to a bunch of different things -- but even the effetest of the effete (whom I know, anyway) don't force their kids to do things they don't like. I know of lots of examples of the moms you seem to be talking about saying, "[Kid] thought he would like [tennis], but he doesn't seem much interested in it, so he's going to try [soccer] next term." (substitute whatever activity wherever).

I get the feeling that the childless among us scorning the childrearing habits of certain parents get their ideas from how kids are raised from television or something -- because it just doesn't square with any experience I've come across, even in the land of the ultra-effete.


Don't get me wrong -- there are plenty of examples of hateful parents -- it's just they're not nearly as prevalent as the childless among us seem to think.

She was a Republican commentator who ended up working for the WH in the counsel's office. Ended up working as the counterpoint to the sissified liberals in the inner circle*. I think she lasted on the show for about a year.

That, and she was cute, too.

* Though I love that show, I'm among the first to admit that it is written by, and largely for, sissified liberal Democrats.

can he get the tranny

See, you're raising your kids right. Most parents would be appalled if their child were trying to get a tranny. Not you. No siree.

What are you if you don't want to be an urban professional, but you are?

This is not a question relevant to you.

I don't know how the hell I got here, or why I'm here.

Yes you do. You say so in just a second.

I just kept doing things which people told me would pay for my increasing bar tabs and expensive taste in food and good clothes.

Keep up the good work.

I don't really want any career.

Not sure what your point is here. So what?

Hell, I'd rather be remembered for having written one good song than a whole liftime of professional achievement in any of the usual fields.

So write a song.

I don't want anything actually but to have a good time and stay healthy.

Yes. Emphasis on the "good time" part.

I'm only living a yuppy lifestyle because women want to live that way, and I love my wife.

This is not true and you know it is not true, which makes it a lie.

I like nice cars, but I prefer not to drive at all.

Personally, cars bore me, but if this floats your boat, then you should buy nice cars. Very nice cars. As to your second point, get a driver.

I don't want to go to little league practice with kids or paint the garage.

Get a nanny. Hire a painter. This is so obvious, I am beginning to wonder if all the lysergic acid has made you dim.

Hell, I'd live in a condo for the rest of my days if I had my way.

There are many nice condos in pretty much every urban area. Buy one.

What the hell is a yuppy who isn't a yuppy?

Something/someone that/who is not you.

I feel every day like I'm living Pete Townsend's "Substitute."

You should try living Ursula 1000's "All System's Are Go-Go" instead. There are more martinis involved and it is, therefore, more fun.

I guess I'm the everyman.

Whatever.

Ok. I'll bite - is that compliment or an insult?


Yes you do. You say so in just a second.

Don't I require a real reason?

Keep up the good work.

Agreed.


Not sure what your point is here. So what?

So what? So let's dance!


So write a song.

I gave my love a cherry...

Yes. Emphasis on the "good time" part.

People keep telling me that I'm "goal-less."


This is not true and you know it is not true, which makes it a lie.

You're right. I hate her. I think I love my doorman.

Personally, cars bore me, but if this floats your boat, then you should buy nice cars. Very nice cars. As to your second point, get a driver.

God, that's my dream.

Get a nanny. Hire a painter. This is so obvious, I am beginning to wonder if all the lysergic acid has made you dim.

No it has not. I want a nanny, but my wife keeps asking why we need one since we've no kids.


There are many nice condos in pretty much every urban area. Buy one.

Wife won't do it.

Something/someone that/who is not you.

So you're calling me self loathing?

You should try living Ursula 1000's "All System's Are Go-Go" instead. There are more martinis involved and it is, therefore, more fun.

?????

Whatever.

Yeh... that closer was weak.
