Well, his plans to be a neurosurgeon went up in smoke. Dude needs something.

I have no idea, but that's like 90% of television. For instance, that Duck Dynasty show is still on. Though hopefully the fact that their younger spawn are doing the shitty reality show circuit makes me hopeful that the national obsession with that particular bunch of neocon bigots has run it's course.

I think it has to do with the seemingly high rates of bizarre criminal activity taking place in Florida.

The fuck?

She was far and away the best part of Flowers in the Attic. I didn't watch Petals in the Wind because I kind of forgot it was on.

Well, considering the state of affairs in AC, blackjack dealer is definitely off the table.

The Habsburgs would beg to disagree.

When I was a kid, my highest ambition was to write trashy paperback novels popular enough that I could effectively license my name to a ghost writer and live on the royalties, much like VC Andrews. That, or be a blackjack dealer.

It's one of the things that drove her and her husband to fundamentalism. Depending on who or when she's interviewing, she's said they wanted to name…

You mean like have a woman walk by in a bikini? You can defeat them when they're all staring at their shoes lest they be tempted by the flesh.

Why can't they both be revolting?
