Rena Sofer and company have been cancelled --

LOS ANGELES (Hollywood Reporter) -- NBC's freshman comedy "Coupling" reached the point of no return as the network officially canceled the racy sitcom Friday.

Well, I have mixed emotions -- (a) I am sad that she is no longer on the air each week to be admired by me, (2) yet I am glad because that show was really Not Good, and this frees her up to be in something decent.

Let us all admire her one last time before NBC takes this down. Sigh.

No doubt she will have gotten the necessary attention and be picked up by a show that isn't physically painful to watch.

God that show sucked. I haven't seen the English version but I cannot imagine it sucks nearly as much. Maybe it just didn't translate well.

I've never found a reference as to whether the Salic Law was precipitated by the petty warfare between the Merovingian queens or a cause of instability when Merovingian women attempted to seize power. Thought, BRC?

Clovis wrote the law pretty early - the real fun with all the plotting and killing got underway later. In any event, the queens could, and did, act as regent for their inbred moron offspring, and usually spent their time killing off each other's husbands and children.

Like the Carolingians, the Merovingian women realized that it was usually much safer to take power by proxy than directly - you don't need to be king if the king is your puppet, and if someone's head is going to roll, it will be his not yours. (Gentlemen, this is one of the countless examples of history that demonstrates the eternal truths that (i) women actually run everything, and (ii) women are a lot smarter than you.)

The real result of all of the familial warfare and instability was the transfer of ruling power to the hereditary major domos (the Carolingians). You got effective leadership by an hereditary bureaucracy, while the figurehead kings & royal families whacked away at each other to no real purpose. Eventually, the bureaucracy realized they no longer needed the merovingian dynasty for cover, and you got Pepin's election, and the last merovingian king got a haircut.

After seeing her on "Ed", I claimed that her teeth were fake. They're huge - Matt Dillon in "There's Something About Mary" huge.

Irregardless, she's still really hot.

So soda=pop=bust=tits! Cool. I'm going to the store for a six pack of tits. Want anything while I'm out?

Thanks for tying this back to fashion.

mmmmmm Merovingian women.......Were they the ones who were serving wenches in flimsy low cut blouses, and you got to paw them when they brought you ale or roast mutton?

A while ago, someone posted an image they retrieved from some site called picture dump or photo dump. They had different categories for pictures on the top right or something. I think the picture in question was some sort of animal in trouble or something. (It was work-appropriate.) I tried searching online for the site, but I mostly got websites with pictures of dump trucks. I tried using the search feature here, but mostly got posts about whether or not posters should dump their boy/girlfriends. I tried looking at my history, but I last visited the site a month or so ago.

Help would be appreciated.

I also would like some web-fu help today (what is it with us hopeless California boys?)

Several years ago I remember reading a debate between two guys over which one of Shannon Doherty and Tori Spelling (90% sure it was Tori) they would fuck if someone put a gun to their head and said they had to fuck one of them. The premise of it was that they were so disgusting that it would be torture to fuck either one. (not sure I agree, but it was funny to read). The debate had lots of cheap shots about Shannon's teeth.

In any event, anyone ever remember reading this? Can anyone find it out there?

Edited to add that I'm ashamed for posting this after reading all that highbrow stuff about weregelds and shit. I'll slink back to my corner now.

Thanks.

Are you sure the cheap shots weren't about Shannon's fucked-up eyes?

Her TITS are great in PB, FWIW.

She's hot. And looks a bit like Jennifer Connelly back in the day (of "Career Opportunities") when she had huge tits.



And she's not really pushing them up that much there either.

I think both her eyes and teeth are fucked up. She must be really good looking in person because someone this screwed up shouldn't be a sex symbol. Check out the eye problem here:

I defy anyone to find a good photo of her teeth, which must be bad too. She refuses to have them photographed. Her tits on the other hand are a different story.



And now I'm interested in answeing Str8's question for myself. Spelling or Doherty? Hmmmm.



She's got the best bod money can buy, but I can't get past the horse face. So, if I've got no shot of marrying her for her money, I couldn't pick her. Besides, Doherty would be a good hate fuck.

This is the best evidence that I've seen that she's lying through her teeth about not having breast implants, IMHO.

Bitch, please. It didn't die out, it morphed.

Tomato, tomahto. There ain't no weregeld no more. We have torts, but we also have criminal law. That division is a fundamental change in concept.
