There’s merch on etsy that seems to associate that saying with Dolly Parton - it must be one of those phrases that’s been used for so long and with slight differences, it’s hard to tell where it even originated. Edit - whoops - I didn’t see that someone else said this yesterday! 

I hope Robin S. gets credit.

oh no, now I too have become obsessed with alien shopping. Why do they so often have people opening boxes with machetes?!!  So many toylike tiny washing machines! I really want to know what that blue capsule-shaped steam emitting thing is that gets plopped in water with various vegetables and other items.

I just read a book about the development of Sesame Street - Joss Whedon’s father Tom was instrumental in beginning the work with Jon Stone that would eventually turn into the show (he later worked on The Electric Company.) Every time I saw the name “Whedon” it just gave me an unpleasant feeling. I loved Buffy when it…

I never knew they dated! And you have given me a good reason to deploy a fun fact I recently learned about Gates McFadden - her first name is actually Cheryl! This is not a secret, I just didn’t know :-) 

Lorac is also a makeup brand - you won’t be surprised to find it out it was founded by a person named Carol.

She’s 43 - I’m not surprised she’s had work done. I had to look her up because I thought she would be older than that. Evidently she’s had fertility struggles, too. This wasn’t via surrogate so good for her. 

I know people who have the last name Wolf. I am entertaining myself by thinking of them having a child and naming it Wolf. 

Williams-Sonoma is in malls. It’s upscale, I know - but it isn’t super out of reach for everyone but the richest people in the world.  

You are funny. Not everyone names their kids the silly things that celebrities like Jason Lee does. 

How do you think his nine year old kid feels. 

Tom Hanks credits his drastic weight gain and weight loss for varies movies for giving him type 2 diabetes. 

21 years ago? Yes. 

I got this too. It was profoundly depressing. 

I was surprised to find that they had only been married for four years. I guess they weren’t married when he first came to my attention during Game of Thrones. 

I was there for these things the first time, and if I saw any of these people on the street (and felt like I could appropriately talk to them, pandemic and social awkwardness notwithstanding) I wouldn’t critique their looks historically (come ON) but I *would* compliment them to an absurd degree. It would warm my…

heh. 

I’m so amazed about that comment. Someone couldn’t really have thought this, could they?

I thought it was interesting that Penelope Cruz also did, during her CBS Sunday Morning interview that was on yesterday. Then again, she’s Bardem’s wife in addition to having something to plug.

No one’s even mentioned that it was a Smiths song!
