My guess is he DID hit on her, but she didn't notice.  I'm sure CK has been hit on so many times in so many ways that Tiger Blood McQueen here didn't even register on her radar.  I mean, he sought her out every night to shake her hand and thank her?  Do you think he'd do that for someone who looked like Mrs. Garret from The Facts of Life?

Human wave assaults were never so effective.

62 Scarlet Johannsen is schtuping Sean Penn. Can you believe it

She's got daddy issues. She once boned Benicio del Toro (15 years older) in an elevator minutes after meeting him.

She'd actually be perfect for Charlie Sheen!

I do not envy Charlie Sheen one little bit.  He can never have ordinary, comforting sex with a normal girl ever again.  It's paid, coked-up porn stars and acrobatic sex or nothing.

"Jeez - six hundred dollars a day just to get my dick hard!" - Richard Pryor

Even if Candace Kita is sugar-coating things a bit (I don't know if she is or not), I respect that she's not publicly backstabbing a former collegue.  Sheen could learn a thing or two about class from her example.

While Sheen does appear to have some kind of problem, I have to wonder what effects long term fame and fortune really has on people.

How many people can, with 100% confidence, say that years of getting whatever you want, being surrounded by fans, sycophants, money, parties, and celebrity reporters making "news" out of your every move wouldn't shake a few screws loose?

Imagine that you're fabulously wealthy, rarely suffer major consequence for bad behavior or mistakes, and in general get almost anything (or anyone) you want.  How many single men wouldn't at least once go on a boning spree?  How many people wouldn't end up "over indulging" on at least on occasion?

We all like to think we'd stay true to ourselves and personality without becoming self-absorbed, narcissistic hedonists, but for how long before you start to change?  A couple years?  Ten years?  Twenty?

Yeah, and the doc told Zsa Zsa her other leg has got to go. She said no go. People in the dead pool wanted to collect when her first leg came off, but the other wagerers said you had to die all at once and not in pieces.  There was one suggestion that Weasie at least send the Zsa Zsa contestant a box of instant pudding instead of the dick.

The fame and fortune leads to the cocaine which then leads to the crash and burn. Fame/fortune in and of itself is probably a good bit of fun save for the paparazzi. But the drug thing is death.

Even if one resisted the temptations of drugs and too much booze, for how long would the fame and fortune still be fun?  For that matter, how long does it take before it starts to affect one's personality in a negative way?

A parent that overindulges and spoils a kid without discipline is probably going to end up with a spoiled, self-centered, irresponsible adult.  I have to imagine that overindulged rich celebrities also undergo personality changes after years of such treatment.

She lost her leg a couple months ago.  She got out of the hospital and was rushed back.  I think she's been in quite awhile now.  Her goofy "prince" husband was also admitted while she was there, too.

My friend's daughter, a girl scout, said out of the blue yesterday "I wish I could sell cookies outside the liquor store" After we both picked our mouths up off the ground it turns out that another mom had said when she was young they were allowed to sell the cookies anywhere and she'd sold hundreds of boxes outside the liquor store. Apparently now the Girl Scouts have rules about where they can sell. And, it is a cookie mom free for all when it comes to signing up for the allowed locations.

Trust me the cookie moms could plan and execute a military offensive that could take down a small regime if necessary.

No sympathy for Charlie.   The prick has been a douche his entire life.   Got kicked out of every damn high school he was enrolled in.   And there were quite a few.   This is not a new thing for him.   He's just been given too much rope, excuses were always made for him, and he was bailed out of every BS thing he's ever done.

I think I get it (this moron is somewhat dense/obtuse and needs things spelled out).  The Girl Scout council or whatever it's called has a list of preapproved sites and times that it has negotiated for the council area/district.  Troop leaders sign up first come, first bloodied knuckle.

A good troop leader is one who is quick on the signup list, not as critical to have connections in the local Chamber of Commerce.

Testing... testing 123.  I haven't commented in a while.  

Great ! can u pick up some Haggen Dazs

Sure, why not!

Good for her. Knows her limitations as an, uh, actor.  

If only Sheen knew his.

I also (as a former Girl Scout) have a HUGE problem with the way the GSs have gone way PC.  Those little girls can get MERIT BADGES for manis and pedis.  You would not believe the crap these girls are fed re sexuality, etc.

It's true. They are overboard PC now, their commercials feature a Muslim girl and Michelle Obama is one of their spokespeople. The badges are ridiculously simple minded and easy to get and, at least around here, they don't manage to hold the girls interest much past 5th grade if that long.

But, they do still send cookies to the troops every year, so there is that. Of course the troops supposedly don't get any thin mints because of the heat and the chocolate etc, which I told my friend must be a huge disappointment, to see a crate of girl scout cookies delivered with nary a box of thin mints.

If he didn't have a kazillion dollars and still spouted that shit, Charlie is that street person that everyone runs away from.

Winning! Tiger blood! Winning!

They are overboard PC now, their commercials feature a Muslim girl and Michelle Obama is one of their spokespeople.

This has actually been going on awhile.  In the 70's, my sister was on the cover of the annual girl scout calendar.  Pictured were three little girls at a GS camp, one white, one black, one Hispanic.  Even back then it was obvious to me what they were doing.

That's the ad (or a version of it) that had Mark Steyn getting Detroiters up in arms because he called them a bunch of stupid fucks (he used gentler words) who let their city go the way of Dresden without the benefit of bombs.

That's for Marines on leave, as far as I know.  Plus, unlike Army, etc., they are never allowed to travel in camo.  Last spring we put our boy on a plane to MO to meet up with his unit to fly to Okinawa.  He had the Jarhead hair, carrying his official Marine backpack, and still had his little nail clippers taken by the douchetools with TSA Atlanta.  We suggested to him he wear a class B uniform to travel, and that's when he told us why he couldn't.

Any chance he's coming home through the Dallas airport?  I've got a friend who's a Marine mom and sometimes she goes to the airport to greet returning troops.  I've been telling her I'd love to go with her sometime.  Maybe now would be a good time.  Who knows, maybe GWB will surprise the troops at DFW again.

And some of them seem to think that they need to have one kid in every style (Jolie, Madonna). Kids aren't props.

I know, I suck, but it really bugs me.

My in-laws have a great friend who works at USO at Atlanta airport.  She gave our boy a cute toy bear decked out in American flags as he left.  The Japanese went nuts examining the damned bear in Tokyo.  He finally said, "Keep the bear!" and they finally handed it back over to him.  Weird.

HAH!  I can believe it!  It seriously pisses me off how Asians -- particularly Asians of the eastern persuasion -- are treated like persona non grata when it comes to "race" discussions.  "Gosh, they're smart and hardworking and do well?  They can't possibly be a minority then, because minorities ALWAYS do badly because of the oppression of the white patriarchal hegemony!  They're just slant-eyed white people!" 

Or so the lefties think.

What REALLY annoys me is how there are virtually NO Asian characters in American pop culture.  It's getting better now, thanks to shows like Lost that had/have prominent Asian characters.  But they're never the lead character, rarely have a love interest, and usually just get whitewashed (no pun intended) into the background as a space filler.  We've got "black" shows and movies, "hispanic" shows and movies, and "white" shows and movies up the ying yang.  But the only Asian shows and movies you get revolve around one of four themes: martial arts, samurais, geisha, and sex workers.  ARRRGH.  It's enough to drive a person MAD.

There there, steevy.  Everything will be better when Obama sends you your super special Skittle-shitting unicorn.  *soothes*

BO is making political moves to make sure he can dump the obamacare bill onto the states, knowing it is unconstitutional on the federal level but not on the state level and essentially force the states to adopt similar legislation which can't be challenged in the courts. 

Interesting take on this. I noticed the new strategy this week regarding the states too.  Maybe he's just trying to find a way to save face on this fiasco.  The states can't afford it.  The R states are actively trying to shut it down and in the current fiscal and political environment I don't think the D states will get far.  But I have no doubt they'll try anything to get to single payer one way or another. 

So glad the judge is forcing them to move through the courts.  Every day that goes by I'm sure steps towards implementation occur, and we need to shut it down before the point of no return.

Next they'll complain about how he uses electricity in his home.  And some electricity comes from coal.

you are "a little tipsey".

I thought that was a prerequisite for posting around this place?

but are afraid people will realize you are "a little tipsey".

Seriously?  Here?  I thought it was manditory.

Cut, jib, print it!

hey Editor, here's a bedroom idea for mini Editor

http://tinyurl.com/4byn6fo

Are you kidding?  The insurance companies have been all hair on fire for months about this now.  Everything with them is all fucked up and they've probably spent freakin' billions on it.

Yeah, I've wondered what would (will, optimistically) happen when Ocare is deemed unconstitutional.  There will be years of turmoil, to unwind what's started and to get something else in place.  It won't be Ocare, it won't be what it was before, it won't be what it will eventually turn into.  Chaos.  Costly chaos no doubt.

And part of what helped make that show go to shit (along with their inability to ever do any sort of action sequence) was them giving Ando powers but not really having any clue what they actually were good for.  Does he shoot energy blasts or does he supercharge other Heroes powers?

Gah, I KNOW.  I had to give up watching.  Pity, too.  It had so much potential!

I do not envy Charlie Sheen one little bit.  He can never have ordinary, comforting sex with a normal girl ever again.  It's paid, coked-up porn stars and acrobatic sex or nothing.

A) Who wants sex to be "comforting"?

B) You give women waay too much credit.

It's not his fault - he still has an AOL email address... Wait, I guess it is his fault.

This is why they want to drag it out as long as possible in the courts.  Bammy & Co. want the effects of Obamacare to be so deeply interwoven into the fabric of the insurance industry and healthcare that it becomes impossible to UNweave it without massive, costly, confusing disruption.  Then they can say, "well sure, okay, so it's not great.  But we can't stop NOW.  Everything would go up in smoke!  People would be dying in the streets while we repeal the Act and return everything to how it used to be under the Bad Evil Wrong old system.  Do you want grandma to die in the street?"

Maybe one of the Scandis . . . Libya is probably not an option in the near future.

Definitely with the Scandis.  The dirty, dirty Scandis.

At Boehner's house (in Ohoho), all the electricity is generated from coal.  Maybe a dash of natural gas turbine electricity at peak load hours.  Maybe.

Uh, yeah - we'll just flag it in a foreign country.

Rhode Island for instance.

Oh, and speaking of Obamacare stupidity, how the hell did the insurance, medical and pharmaceutical industries let this happen? 

We know politicians, especially Dems, don't understand business, capitalism or markets, but what's their excuse?  I guess they were all so blinded by greed or unicorn dust that they failed to notice that the Obama/Pelosi/Reid vision was totally impractical, and that the American people, their customers, might not want to be screwed over.  Plus they foolishly trusted the Oliar before people were on to him.

Then they can say, "well sure, okay, so it's not great.  But we can't stop NOW.  Everything would go up in smoke!  People would be dying in the streets while we repeal the Act and return everything to how it used to be under the Bad Evil Wrong old system.  Do you want grandma to die in the street?"

In other words, the same argument they made to pass this Obamanation.

I see the ONT is up, but I'll part ways here.  Ya'll have fun and I may pop over later tonight.

Nope, but close.  It's the S.S. Pooter.

MWR:  "What REALLY annoys me is how there are virtually NO Asian characters in American pop culture..."

Well, if it makes you feel better, there are a TON of hot Asian porn stars.  Which to be honest, is pretty freakin' awesome...

On a more serious note, I knew a chick who was Chinese, with a Ph.D in organic chemistry or something.  She also wanted to be a rock star.  So she was recording her own music and playing clubs, as a rock star.  She used to bitch and whine about how horribly unfair it was that there were so few Asian rock stars, or Asian female rock stars.  Or something like that.  To be honest, most of the time, when she opened her mouth, after the first sentence or two, it just became "wah - wuh -wah - wuh -wah."

My attitude was always this:  First, you are doing the rock and roll thing, so its not like there is any conspiracy to keep the "yellow menace" out of our sleazy rock clubs.

Second, if you want more Asian rock stars, more Asians will actually have to try to BE rock stars.

Third, I'm not sure of the exact figures, but isn't the Asian percentage of our national population in the single digits, percentage wise?  Yeah, in a few California cities like San Francisco there are a lot of Asians.  But on a national level, aren't they way less than ten percent?

She didn't really like my responses, but I pretty much tuned her out when she responded.  She might have had something interesting to say, but I guess that's just my loss.

I love this one.  It's the best I think.  NIce, not dirty, but clever.

This.  Well, part B anyway.  I can't stand Roissy for a lot of reasons, but the biggest reason is I think he's probably mostly right.
