TED McGINLEY...
Jump the Shark's Patron Saint

Ted is the patron saint of shark jumping. Chances are that if Ted is anywhere near your cast, consider the show on the downward spiral. That's not to take away from Ted's fine acting skills. Consensus here enjoys Ted more on the big screen (Revenge of the Nerds) than on our sets. Then again, we wouldn't have a patron saint...thanks Ted!

Never Jumped

An overwhelming majority of "Never Jumped" votes is required for safe passage here. And you've got to have more than a handful of total votes as well. We present the few, the proud...

The Simpsons
Police Squad!
Newhart

WKRP in Cincinnati
The Prisoner

The Tick
Barney Miller

Have fun with your favorite or not so favorite show!

Looks as though those wacky Canadians humor carries over into their fashions as well.

Good gracious - I've got a little money, would you like to go into the "fashion" business? I assure you that there is no skill whatever required to enter this endeavor.

Your reply to this limited time offer is urgently requested. There are many others out there with equally limited skills to whom I may propose the same venture.

Good morning! Hey we've had some cooler temps in the morning the past couple of days and it's only getting up to the low 80's. If you get some warm weather, please keep it up there! :-)

I'll be gone most of the day, fstcwgrl and Laney coming over for a visit. We'll have to go shopping or something. Going outside is dangerous, it's raining acorns! I'm not kidding, those suckers hurt when they ping you on the head. :-0

Be back this evening.

Oh good grief! I hope my husband doesn't read this stuff.

"Honey, why don't you ever do that?", he'll say.

Thank you Endeavor. You made my day.

Betty And HLL: Fashion Week in Toronto

HA! HA! HA! Oh look! Something I could wear to mom's memorial service, NOT!!!!!

Well I had an intersting day. Grandson #2, invited me to come have lunch with him at school today. I told hubby I had a lunch date with a real cutie pie, much younger than me.
I had forgotten how loud an elementry lunch room can get. Can't say I enjoyed my lunch. The boy next to me, kept dipping his chocolate chip cookie into his catsup, YUK!!! He was trying to get the attention of a girl sitting in front of him. Grandson #2 said, "Just ignore him grandma. He has problems." LOL,LOL,LOL!

After lunch, I decided to venture out to the Target to get panty hose and all the other stuff I will need for my trip out to California next week. Thank the Lord, no sniper.

That story is getting major play by the two drive home DJ's at Chicago's biggest station. I hope they throw that woman in jail. I wonder who fathered her six kids.

On one of the other threads, they have a picture of a North Korean rocket going up. Since we now have verification that Clinton and half-maddie dimbulb are responsible for N. Korea's nuclear program, I thought it might be fun to honor Clinton by naming that North Korean big banger the "William Jefferson Clinton Crotch Pocket Rocket." (i'm sorry, i just couldn't resist that one :>)

I agree with you, K. Remembering the sicko teacher who had a child with her 14 y.o. lover. She was ordered to stay away from him initially,, she was caught with him, and sent off to the cooler. Who says nothin' exciting ever happens in Des Moines?

Who'da thunk it?

What turns guys on?

I value the collarbone very highly, and I recently learned that I'm not alone. If a woman has a shapely collarbone, many men generally find her more attractive. That's not to say I focus on the collarbone while ignoring other potentially shapely regions, but it's certainly the first thing I try to see. And like other characteristics, an unattractive collarbone isn't a dealbreaker, though the first item of focus tends to be weighted more heavily than others.

No, I'm not trolling the web for dates, it was on that silly MSN page my hubby won't let me change to anything else (please).

Beware of French divorcée hair dressers...


Valerie Pape drove up in her Jaguar, looked around, then dumped her husband's bagged torso into the trash bin behind a Mesa supermarket, a witness said.

Scottsdale woman gets 16 years in torso murder case

A Scottsdale beauty salon owner caught dumping her husband's torso into a dumpster received the maximum prison sentence of 16 years on Friday because she refused to disclose where the victim's head and other body parts were discarded.

Valerie Pape showed no emotion and stood silent before the court at the sentencing, earning a rebuke from the judge.

Joan Diamond denied the tales of abuse, telling Galati that her ex-husband was a "kind man who never lifted a hand to me or my daughters."

Added Stacy Pomerantz: "If he was coming at her, why did she shoot him in the back?"
