They still had to balance the chance that an appeal would be successful (presumably they had as much security as any other public/private gathering place in the general vicinity) against the certainty of very, very, very bad PR from headlines/stories like this.

Those were mighty considerate gay bashing monsters who beat the crap out of him... only in places his clothing covers up.

What about all the flour used to roll out dough and knead it? Are we supposed to use haz mat suits, now?

Bertuccis does it, or used to - kind of an alternative to crayons and a placemat. I remember my 3 year old niece looking up sadly at us and saying “I don’t like this kind of pizza.” Poor thing thought it was her meal. Once we told her she could smack it around like play-doh she was happy.

Or mix the oatmeal into oatmeal cookie dough, then mix THAT with ice cream. Hell, you can even skip the ice cream.

Yes — one of the Landon/London twins? His own family came out publicly and said it was a hoax, then the weird thing is, they caught one of the guys who kidnapped him and he actually confessed to it, vindicating London. False confession? Pay off? Truth is stranger than fiction when drugs are involved? Who knows.

It’s a credit to your compassion as a human being that your thoughts went directly to the public servants who had a tremendously grim and heart punishing duty that day.

That’s an interesting point. They’d apparently worked out the whole rape thing, but whatever name he called her was the deal breaker.

A 40 year old man says that he’s more mature than he’s ever been?

I know that feeling. My dog had a cut ear bleed in the kitchen and shook his head, spraying blood all over everything. Even though I cleaned it thoroughly (to the naked eye, anyway), I haven’t wanted to google how long it takes for traces of blood spatter to be eliminated, just in case some day there’s a brutal murder…

No, they do not. It’s a big thing in genealogy. Claiming Native ancestry was historically a way for white people to avoid discussing black ancestry in their line, and black people to avoid discussing white ancestry in their line. Both point to cheekbones and Cherokee princessdom.

Those interested in this type 0f story should check out Jenna Miscavige’s autobiography of growing up in Scientology. Mind you, she’s the niece of the head of the church, her parents were high ranking officials, and they were still treated like dirt, interrogated like spies on a regular basis, forcibly separated from…

He’s got millions of his own — he couldn’t fly the family down to London any of the times she was there in the past year?

He’s not a nobody - I mean, he makes a gajillion dollars doing whatever it is he does. He’s a success in his own right. He just hasn’t had to deal with Taylor-level full court paparazzi press without the benefit of her security team before. It’s a brand new world, Calvin!

Looks like she tore the egg crate soundproofing off the cheap studio wall.

“These answers indicate that Calvin was more into Taylor than vice versa and he’s pissed off that she left him for another man. Which he has the right to be.”

Because it wasn’t about swearing, it was just an opportunity to assert dominance over a younger, more powerful man.

Totally flashing back now to her wedding kiss. That wedding kiss with David Gest. If you saw it, you remember.

Go back a couple of generations and they’re right in it. Christine’s an Allred and Robyn’s first husband is a Jessup (and also an Allred). When Christine gets all paranoid about her grandfather being taken away, she’s referring to a massive crackdown in the 50s in which her (step)grandfather Rulon Allred was arrested…

Doh! Just noticed that the photo indicates that it’s NOT actually her. Must.remember.to.read.fine.print...
