I know. The article mentions that the arrest was in 2000.


(And thusly, the short life of a lame joke ends.)

I can't believe I had to wade through all that to find this.

Can someone tell me if this is a good example of irony?

Not to worry - Booby has gained 50 lbs and grown a beard. He's the new Jerry.

Only he has no talent and can't play guitar.

He threw a fit and left the stage during the Help/Slip/Franklin's in Philly because Ratdog was fucking up so badly. Maybe know he understands why Jerry used to unplug his guitar mid song.

Is DS really trying to say "did trump keep Kwame bc he is black?". I dont care what color Kwame is. He is useless. That said, useless is probably better than downright sleazy, which is what Troy was last night. The fact that that whole swindle move te tried to pull on the $38.5 guy wasnt brought up makes me think swindling is not a bad thing for the Donald. Did anyone see Troy on Today show? If he had an education, he could be a really great politician. He was like John Edwards West.

I will note that Trump said what George said verbatim, so it seemed like it might have been an excuse.

SURVIVOR

And how awesome was Survivor last night? At first I thought they made a mistake keeping Amber, but she is such a legendary henchwoman (Jerry's in Australia and Rob's here), that Rob, if that was true godfather shit, brings a two for one deal with Lex. Who I am starting to think is gonna run away with the whole thng. I remember hating Lex in Africa but now I am kinda liking him. Amazing what editing can do for a person.

You like Lex this season? Ugh I can't stand him. He's being so alpha-male about the whole game, the way he got rid of Colby and Ethan. And now they keep getting their ass kicked. Dumb-asses.

Confession - I wasn't doing very well answering the questions last night. I can't believe I didn't remember Brandon and Frank's movie date.

I was like, Oh the gay guy and the homophobic guy like the guy from American Beauty! Names is asking too much.

That said, they should have lost Shih Ann, Amber, and Jenna (either one) and had those two on. Brandon is one of the alltime funniest survivors.

Neeeeew, I'd never see that car wreck. A buddy went and told me about the pileup.

When in France in le matin, mix your champagne with OJ. They love it in a "stupid fucking Americans" way.

Studies show that LSD use has dropped dramatically in recent years; in 2003, only 1.9 percent of HS seniors say they've dropped acid.

In a drug-related note, ncs was proven correct (and therefore Slave was proven incorrect) to a certain extent last night by Peter Jennings who did an in-depth report on ectasy.

Bottom line: The government has been exaggerating its harmful effects and you have a better chance of taking some prescription drugs and dying than X. No studies have been done on long-term effects, but there is only one study (a German one) that any of the non-government scientists put any stock into and it says that seratonin (sp?) levels in the brain are not dramatically reduced by the 60-85% amount the gov't argued they were. It's more like 3-5%, with sustained use. Further, any such damage is reversible after you stop using.

The main problem is that the government made it illegal, which means now you don't get pure X, you get shit that's been cut with lots of other cheap crap. And there's the danger.

So are you pre or post SATC cosmo drinker?

I can't remember. I'm not much of a drinker (anymore), and when I find myself in a drink-ordering situation, it's often the only thing I can think of (I panic!), so I get it. (Acutally, I usually ask if the place has any "house" drinks that are its specialty, and often go with that if it sounds good.) If not, I'll get that or something else that is good-tasting. Gin & tonic doesn't seem "special" enough for those occasions when I'm going out. I can make gin & tonics at home.

But whew -- martinis -- I went to some event last summer with my husband and a member of this "club" (a town historical society -- nothing fancy) was making martinis as they are his specialty. I had a few and could barely walk. My husband (who weighs about 70% more than I), couldn't either. Damn, they pack a punch -- and you barely notice. No thanks. They just knock me on my ass, and that's not fun. We got home and both of us basically passed out. I don't enjoy that feeling.

SATC was largely about [over-]analyzing relationships -- but that's what a lot of chicks do -- which is part of why it resonated with so many women. Talking about shoes -- that's pretty lame, but that was more of the "fantasy" element of the show, which, while fun, was not really the point. There were one-liners on that show that were absolutely hilarious, and the last season had some really touching moments. (The penultimate season was not its best, but it was a really enjoyable show.)

For my part -- I'm willing to do my part in the interest of scientific advancement -- I'm pretty sure RP will go along (we are, if nothing else, selfless.)

I liked that Amy dissed him, saying Bill was her main comp. He was all flustered and upset like a little bitch. He's getting played. And I like Amy for it.

Yeah. Even if she does have the questionable taste to be interested in him, she was right about that and smart to say it. And totally correct that if Nick didn't already know it, he wasn't very bright.

I think Troy was very good. And I agree that his simpleton act worked on almost everyone he tried it with. He seemed to almost come through, when some moron like Heidi was leader, at the last minute to almost save the day. Problem is, he is a horrible planner. He thinks well on his feet and he has some backwater charm, but that ain't what's going to run my business.

Exactly - he thinks on his feet. Not a CFO, for sure, probably not CEO, but he'd make a good COO.

PS - I'm sick of his left-hand-woman who contributes roughly zilch each week. She always seems like she zeros in on one person she wants out and tries to get Trump to concentrate on them. I bet everyone who works for Trump hates her. She's the worst kind of kiss-ass, power monger.

She does seem annoying (and helmet haired), but in that "highlights/outtakes" ep they did a while back, she did actually have some informed contributions & commentary, it just all got cut. Actually, that ep was interesting because you saw a lot more of the actual deliberations, which were really fascinating, and they can't really do that in the show itself and maintain suspense re: who T is gonna can (which was always obvious from the outtake deliberation footage).

I think they should cut some time from the "competition" section in the first half of the show and add time at the back for the actual deliberation footage, shown AFTER the decision is made and the loser's business is put out on the street. I want more of that. For instance, I'll be they do actually talk a bit more about the crappy negotiating techniques mmm mentioned. Then again, to people who don't really know what they're watching anyway (i.e.: a lot of viewers), that might be too boring and specialized, particularly when held up against wuv, twoo wuv, in a plane with a bed.

PPS - I miss hating Omarosa. And back she comes!

I admit, it should be fun - but why? oh why?

paigow: [still dating]

Trump appeared to be a bit of a softie about the idea of two of them dating, which was sort of interesting. His comment "this will be a really great prize if they really are in love" was just so strange - in love? They've known each other a few weeks, are under big stress competing with and against each other, and are sort of passive-aggressively attracted to each other but haven't even bumped uglies yet. Love? Relationship? Hell, maybe after the show when they got a chance to actually know each other, but it looks to me a lot like stress and hormone fuled excess energy. I'd love to know what went into the editing decision to include that Trump comment - does it really reflect a secret, romantic nature? Or, as with a lot of the Donald's opinions in the show as revealed by more complete footage, was it a misleading editorial call?
