Are the knockoffs as vulgar as, say, collaborating on a crocodile/anaconda/stingray/ostrich/calf hair wedge?

Didn't they do a UK version of Jersey Shore?

It's very funny, except for Manny - he is terrible. The character is poorly written and the actor has terrible timing. Otherwise (and excluding the little girl - she's too young to snark on) the cast is terrific.

Her little "forte" thing with Kevin Kline made her unlikeable to me. And I should love her for using proper grammar, but she's just so self-righteous about it. Would probably be a good senator though.

It's like we're in Metropolis.

She does nothing *worthwhile.* She does nothing to benefit society. She does nothing to make it appear she is a decent human being that one would enjoy spending an hour with. She does nothing but glamorize consumerism.

Well, I wouldn't say they're difficult to *accept* but they do take some getting used to. For example, feeling your belly rest on your thighs when you're sitting, not being able to get comfortable when you're sleeping (I sleep on my stomach), and just generally being more tired doing pretty much anything, can be…

The first time I left my son with a babysitter (my brother) he was about 9 months old. We went to a Broadway musical. I insisted on calling him during intermission to make sure he hadn't dropped the baby out the window. (9th floor apt, no screens.) Wasn't concerned that he, say, ate a nickel off the floor - only that…

I've never and I'm always looking! I have two feeders and planted buddleia and other hummingbird-attracting flowering bushes (forget their names) nearby and I get so many hummingbirds all spring and summer, but I've never been able to spot a nest. Very cool!

Mine too, but only with gin. All those years of reading Raymond Chandler.

It's the landline of their apartment. The phone was in his name and she still lives there.

Sue Heck is 21?!?!?

Most wedding rings do look like "normal rings." Engagement rings are where the excitement is.

She was supposed to go with another friend (female, I think), who cancelled.

The point the assistant is making, even though she's salaried she never got any time to herself. E.g., Gaga would demand that she sleep in the same bed with her, or call in the middle of the night while she was asleep to have her come to her hotel room and change the DVD that was in the DVD player. Even when someone…

Yes, I have a family member who does this. She's full of shit (she just wants to not pay for boarding and bring the dog for free) but that's another subject entirely.

And that's how she could afford to live in Westport.

There is an old Martha Stewart igloo mold that is very similar. That may even be the same one. From the old "Martha by Mail" catalogs - maybe 1999? I have it. :) I make the cake often. The penguins, you do with marzipan. Roll white tinted marzipan into an egg shape. Roll black tinted marzipan flat and thin, put it on…

Grizzled? Gristled? Misled?
