That sounds pretty normal UNLESS there was nothing else in the stocking.

Clothes. No one knows my size/style/age. One year, I received an argyle sweater vest in a kids XL. Another year, it was an adult L t-shirt that said “I can handle my attitude all on my own”. I’m a 165 lb, 33-year-old. 

In middle school I spent a long time agonizing over my best friend’s gift. Having no money, I tried to get her something thoughtful that she would like. Her gift to me was a sweater that said “World’s Greatest Grandpa” - this was pre-irony. She later slept with my boyfriend in college and tried to sleep with another.…

I have had a vegan diet for a very long time (not the judgemental kind as I live by my own ideals and respect others who live by theirs. Also, I have never met or wanted to meet another vegan) and I think it was Christmas of 2005 that my place of employment was handing out turkeys because they were too cheap to give…

I was a fat kid in a family of tall skinny women (most of whom were models at one time or another). One year my sister gave me a pack of twinkies.

You cannot be older than me. Just read it slowly and it will be more clear. 

Exactly! I’ve had the jibblies about this guy since then. I was just skeeved out that he was dating this woman who was so much younger than him. 

It’s seeming very Life Imitating Art, Imitating Life. They seem to have cast the role well...

Yes, there is a real “where does this culture come from?” aspect of this story. Did Weatherly believe his behavior was okay because he had been playing a variation of it for so long, or does that kind of role exist because men like Weatherly want to justify treating women like that?

But didn’t he get canned from NCIS after a DUI?

I haven’t watched NCIS, but my FIL loved that show and JAG. Was smirking, sexual innuendo-ing douche who tries to sleep with all his female coworkers not specifically his character on the show?

Me too...loved him in NCIS.  Now though, I’m no longer wondering why Sasha Alexander and Cote de Pablo quit long before he did.

Definitely better looking.  Likely better acting as well.

Apparently on Dark Angel he was dating Jessica Alba when she was 18-19 and he was 30 and that he got Jensen Ackles fired because he didn’t want a competing and possibly better looking love interest for her. sideeye.gif

Et tu, DiNozzo?

In the tapes the CBS lawyers showed, they thought that Eliza cursing on set was all the proof they needed to show that SHE was the problem. The video contained cut and dry examples of sexual harassment happening in real time, and it didn’t even register to them that they were shooting themselves in the foot. But a…

Poor Eliza. First she gets assaulted sexually then physically on the set of True Lies. Now this. Hollywood is a cesspool. Also, it’s obvious that this guy’s behavior was contagious and a part of the work environment if the crew members were mimicking his behavior. It says a lot that he was able to get the crew to…

I also thought the general shot himself. I read that whole scene as Elizabeth struggling to stop him form doing so.

Well yeah, Oleg was back in the USA without diplomatic cover, which was why he’s in a jail cell, like Stan said. But he’d be a perfect candidate to be exchanged, like the real Illegals were, or like how Col. Abel was exchanged.

Oleg would get exchanged. The real “Illegals” got exchanged. He didn’t kill anybody. He would have gotten sent home sooner or later, for some Western prisoner in Russia, Gary Powers-Rudolf Abel style.
