She comes across as very French to me: Polite but reserved; definitely not friendly. For the French I would generalize that friendliness and openness presume a level of mutual trust that has to be earned. Culturally, us Americans tend toward friendly and open even with relative strangers. Like, it’s not a big deal for…

Darn-tootin’ you were!

He’s apparently already had three drugs-induced heart attacks. I bet it was coke—he seems classy like that.

You’re welcome. I just Googled “lumbersexual,” and got a million hits.

Behold these pimpled, hapless dorks with less brain power and savoir-faire between the two of them than one developmentally disabled chinchilla. Of course they reproduce, like freakin’ leprosy bacteria.

As an ancient Rome history buff I can share that during the Roman Republic times, the oldest and most aristocratic of the patrician families studiously cultivated an image of modest, plain, gravitas in their Roman homes, gardens, furnishings, artifacts, clothing, etc. The richer and older and more politically powerful…

I actually have a simpatico for Luann and her arriviste panache.

The cat abandonment is in keeping with Holly’s personality, though. She’s not a particularly.. nice person. More the spoiled, delusional type, no? I always saw parallels between her & Blanche Dubois. Only their tarnished innocence inspires some sympathy.

Haaaa! I mean, “bwaaaaaa”! Hilarious and insightful. Sheesh, trailers have become obscenely formulaic.
