Nor I. It's Jack Shit or go home. Please.

Only one thing, and it would've changed my life absolutely: Every single thing your parents tell you about yourself is wrong. (Just because they're your parents doesn't mean they know how to "parent." Your extended family's decision to "watch out for you" was appropriate. Just because you can't sing like Brenda…

How can something emanating from your very own mouth not be your fault?

The "key" to a healthy marriage? The key? Really? My level of respect for Jez, admittedly, has its peaks and valleys but I'm not sure that I've read a more ridiculous lead-in than this one, ever. "Marijuana May Be the Key to A Healthy Marriage." REALFUCKINGLY?

Well, of course. They're too baked to start/maintain/finish an argument/conversation/thought. Blow, on the other hand...

Sounds like Miley's kind of guy; I'm sure she'll have him whipped into her version of "shape" in no time. (Hint to Young Jesse: From the gutter to Miley ain't up.)

Emma, I can tell you one thing (but it's only based on my experience, so take it with a large grain of salt): I know for a fact that "things" don't even start getting good/falling into place until you hit 35 and from 35 through about 48, it's prime. Hitting 50 is fine; hitting 60 is even better. You'll have no IDEA…

I'm An Older Person and all I can lay claim to is knowing what my life is about. I feel pretty confident in that, but that's it.

Yep! Also: No one in the first 3-4 rows applauded as she walked out. Every hand was folded in every lap.

Did you hear the boos when she was introduced? It was wonderful!

Damn! I was with you 100% until your last paragraph. :-( You really thing it's better than "West Wing?"

Did anyone hear the boos for Julia Roberts? Best part of the show for me, other than Billy E.

Did anyone notice how, as that Roberts woman was walking to the mic, not one of the audience members in the first 3-4 rows was applauding? I hope this means something.

Isn't someone going to complain about how sexist this is because ... because, what? ... she didn't invite the kiss? She was forced to engage in the kiss? She seemed flustered by the kiss? SOMEthing? Seems a perfect time for some high-strung Jezzies to fly off the handle. Again.

This is one dumpy-looking woman. How could anyone tell her this was a good look?

I just realized that she and Samira are my girl crushes. I didn't even know I had any.

No shade intended toward you at all; it's a terrific idea. Unlike Madonna's adopting a child from Malawi when we have untold numbers here who go to bed (if they have one) hungry. I'm solidly behind taking care of our own before we try to find photo ops elsewhere.

Thank you! Stupidity like this takes away the power of the whole thing. May as well have not even posted it ... except that there are those who have no idea what's wrong with the sentence and how effective it could have been.
