Thigh highs have never fallen down on me. I've worn them to the office while going commando. Makes attending meetings interesting.

PS Thanks for bringing up fond memories of that BF. Good times. Good times.

I can think of exactly zero defenses to the crime of writing the sentence, "I am going to sing to keep myself awake when I am driving." Having a "throat issue" is not one of them.

Str8, if I gave a fuck about anything, the mere expression "a poor man's Ditty Bops" would be enough to drive me to a horrificly violent and painful public suicide. Thank goodness for my relentless Ironweedian apathy and ennui.

How about height?

Thanks, I knew it was a Scientology thing. Which comes first, being an ass, or becoming a scientologist? It's intolerance no matter how you slice it. The fact that his criticism was consistent with his "religion" makes him no less of a schmuck for commenting publicly on it. If he were a Jehovah's Witness would he criticize, I don't know, Gary Busey for getting a blood transfusion to save his life after the umpteenth time he crashed his motorcycle without wearing a helmet? Brooke Shields was, according to her account, so depressed she could barely care for her child or bond with her. It seems to me that whatever help a person gets in that situation should be lauded, not criticized. The very point of Brooke Shields's publicizing her problem is that post-natal depression is something for which many women don't seek help. She was trying to remove a stigma (something I really don't understand -- I've been depressed and gotten help for it, although I preferred not to use AD's -- what's the big deal in admitting that?) and he was trying to create one.
He's a schmoe.
Pointing out the essential stupidity of Scientology is one of the reasons I'm opposed to "religious tolerance." Tolerating your religion means I will not pass any laws making it illegal to practice it; it does not mean I must believe it to have credibility equal to my own, or no religion at all.

It's not accidental that Scientology is popular with people who are famous for reasons other than being smart. Remember when Ann Richards said GHWB was born on third base and thinks he hit a triple? Hollywood is filled with people who advanced three bases on walks and think they got a hat trick.

Y'all joke, but the technician doing the last ultrasound was duly impressed. I believe the exact quote was "well there's no mistaking the gender on this one."

Fair enough. Here's my guesses about A-listers' height, male and female. These are mostly pure guesses, but having walked by him once, I swear, Cruise isn't as short as you think. Note, Ben Affleck should not be on this list. He is fairly tall, however.

Russell Crowe (1/5 of 30-odd foot = 6'?)
Will Ferrell (6'4")
Denzel Washington (6'1")
Nicole Kidman (6'0)
Tom Hanks (5'11")
Brad Pitt (5'10")
Cruise (5'9")
Matt Damon (5'9")
Harrison Ford (5'8', probably not A-list anymore)
Julia Roberts (5'7")
Jude Law (5'7", also probably not A-list)
Lollipop head (5'3")

I watched the entire season, and as I found the casting of Survivor and Apprentice sucked, it was tied with AR for my favorite reality tv show. It was so well done, that had Rob and Amber not been on AR, Contender would have been the clear favorite. During the finale, Mr. Chick and I were both yelling at Sly to STFU about the rematch already. The finale was also odd, becuause I was so used to the heavily edited fights, and it took me a while to catch on that I wouldn't be able to tell when a really good jab was coming up by the slow motion.

I misread your first post. I thought you wrote "even-outta-van-nuys." Figured it was a gambling thing, although I interpreted it to mean "even coming from van nuys, he'll have access to hot california ass."

Bnb's post is a classic example of why you should not generally share what you plan to name your baby -- only reveal it when it's on the birth certicate. Otherwise, you get all the variants of "Oh, I had a boyfriend named Alex, he was a dick, and not in the schlong-to-be-proud of sense."

My kid is going to be named after one of the kids from the Sound of Music. You know, one of the Von Trapps.

Hah! I kill me!! :rolf2:

So TM, did you watch the entire series or did you cut out before the end? I kind of lost interest when that guy killed himself, but I picked up interest again after a couple of weeks.

NBC's "The Contender" may not have been a smash hit, but it had a solid base of about 6 million viewers per week, and it has rabid support among fans. Still, in mid-May, host and producer Sylvester Stallone said he didn't think the show would be returning for a second season. He cited the show's time slot — 8 p.m. on Sundays, opposite ABC's powerhouse "Extreme Makeover: Home Edition" — as one reason that it didn't take off.

Executive producers Sugar Ray Leonard, Stallone, and Mark Burnett are reportedly talking to ESPN about taking the series to the cable network for a second season. And NBC has said they haven't officially turned down the show yet.
I watched the whole thing and really enjoyed it. It made boxing interesting again.

There are so many weight classes out there, they should definitely do the show again, but they should put it in a different time slot. The Mrs. wanted to watch Extreme Makeover HE and I wanted to watch the Contender. Sometimes she got her way, sometimes I got mine, and sometimes I went into my office and turned on the small TV I have in there.

You forgot the following comments from the finale:

– Sly: I wonder if there will be a rematch?
– Sly: Do you think there's going to be a rematch?
– Sly: Hey Alfonso, would you give Jesse a rematch?
– Sly: There should definitely be a rematch after this fight.
– Sly: I wonder if Peter and Sergio will ever have a rematch?
