The Guild 11-26-2002 Turkey trouble this year?

[Utah Girl]

UG - perhaps you can get Mrs.L checked out with the B.E. on the cruise?

Must be too early for me. What is the B.E.?

[Hillary's Lovely Legs]

When you have 60 year old hands, and a tight freak face, you should wear gloves or not put your paws next to your punim.

[lodwick]

BE makeup. ;-)

[Hillary's Lovely Legs]

You still haven't gotten your lovely bride the BE starter kit? For shame, for shame.

[Utah Girl]

OK, will do. (sorry to be so dense.) And here is my joke for today.

An elderly man in Phoenix calls his son in New York and says, "I hate to ruin your day, but I have to tell you that your mother and I are divorcing, forty-five years of misery is enough."

"Pop, what are you talking about?" the son screams. "We can't stand the sight of each other any longer," the old man says. "We're sick of each other, and I'm sick of talking about this, so you call your sister in Chicago and tell her," and hangs up.

Frantic, the son calls his sister, who explodes on the phone. "Like heck they're getting divorced," she shouts, "I'll take care of this." She calls Phoenix immediately, and screams at the old man, "You are NOT getting divorced. Don't do a single thing until I get there. I'm calling my brother back, and we'll both be there tomorrow. Until then, don't do a thing, DO YOU HEAR ME?" and hangs up. The old man hangs up his phone and turns to his wife. "Okay," he says, "They're coming for Thanksgiving and paying their own way."

[BigWaveBetty]

Just heard on the radio... Nicholas Cage has just filed for divorce from Lisa Marie! Irreconcilable differences.

[mountaineer]

New SAT question: Which of these things don't go together?

coffee, donuts
cheese, crackers
Cher, growing old gracefully

[lodwick]

Oops - Mrs.L claims to be happy with her current glop program, so I was hoping for a personal applicator on board ship. ;-)

[lodwick]

Now that's funny - thanks.

[Hillary's Lovely Legs]

I am shocked! Shocked I tell you.

Didn't we all think that this was a match made in heaven? I mean she had a big white Vera Wang gown and everything.

And to think, it was just this August when they were so in love.

Burning Love: Cage, Presley Tie the Knot

Lisa Marie Presley and Nicolas Cage are saying aloha to the single life.

The daughter of Elvis and the Oscar-winning actor tied the knot Saturday in a ceremony on the Big Island of Hawaii--just a week before the 25th anniversary of her father's death.

According to Cage's publicist, the ceremony took place on the lawn of the Mauna Lani Bay Hotel and Bungalows and was attended by Lisa Marie's mother, Priscilla Presley, Lisa Marie's children from a previous marriage (Danielle, 13, and Benjamin, 10), as well as Cage's 12-year-old son, Weston, from a previous relationship.


"The wedding was in front of immediate family and friends," publicist Lisa Block tells the Associated Press.

This marks the second marriage for the 38-year-old actor (who once donned his late father-in-law's white jumpsuit for Honeymoon in Vegas), and the third trip down the aisle for the 34-year-old Presley.


The King's only child was previously married to Michael Jackson in 1994 (they split less than a year later and divorced in 1996), and prior to that, musician Danny Keough, with whom she had two children. Presley also was previously engaged to John Oszajca before hooking up with Cage.

Cage, meanwhile, was previously married for six years to actress Patricia Arquette before the pair divorced in November 2000. (Arquette also have moved on: She got engaged this month to actor Thomas Jane.) The Coppola clan member also was once engaged to Kristen Zang in the early '90s and, prior to that, had a child with actress-girlfriend Kristina Fulton.

Cage, an Oscar winner for his role in 1995's Leaving Las Vegas and star of action flicks like The Rock and Gone in Sixty Seconds, started dating Presley in April of last year. But the pair seemed headed for Heartbreak Hotel in February, when Cage's publicist confirmed that they had split up, despite tabloid rumors of an impending engagement.

No word on when they reconciled--or if they ever really broke up.

Interestingly, the wedding comes just as fans of Presley's father converge on Graceland in Memphis, Tennessee, for Elvis Week, a tribute to the rock 'n' roll legend on the 25th anniversary of his death. Presley was 42 when he died August 16, 1977, the result of a drug-induced heart attack.

No word on Cage and Presley's honeymoon plans, but the couple returned to Los Angeles Sunday. Cage's publicist says he was due back at work today for shooting on his latest movie, Matchstick Men, directed by Ridley Scott.

In another follow-up interview, Wayne Denson, 75, a Democrat and retired optician from Kansas City, Mo., said: "I voted for him to start with but now that Bush got elected, I'd rather vote for Bush than Gore. Bush has got more intelligence."

The folks at FOX should have done this poll with Bush vs algore but I think it's quite telling.

More Americans would prefer to have Thanksgiving dinner with President Bush than with former President Bill Clinton or with their favorite celebrity.

With Thanksgiving right around the corner, the latest FOX News national poll asked Americans about their holiday dinner guest preferences. The poll, conducted by Opinion Dynamics Corporation, found that half of the public would rather have Thanksgiving dinner with George W. Bush than with Bill Clinton (29 percent), with 19 percent choosing "neither."

Republicans are much more likely to choose their party's current leader (83 percent) than Democrats are to choose Clinton (62 percent), while independents, women and those over age 70 are among those most likely to say "neither" to these options (25 percent, 21 percent and 24 percent respectively).

When asked to chose between the president and their favorite Hollywood or sports celebrity, 44 percent select President Bush as their dinner companion while just over a third (37 percent) say they would rather dine with their favorite celebrity (17 percent say "neither"). Rest of the story

I remember a poll from last week that questioned who would you rather sit next to on a plane. GWB won. :-)

[BigWaveBetty]

LOL! Good one!

[lodwick]

And we said it wouldn't last...how many weeks has it been?

[BigWaveBetty]

Lisa Marie's children from a previous marriage (Danielle, 13, and Benjamin, 10), as well as Cage's 12-year-old son, Weston, from a previous relationship.

Can't remember which one but a tabloid had it right last week.

What does this make for Lisa, three? She should write a book on how to torture your children. Can you imagine having Wacko Jacko for a step father?!

[BigWaveBetty]

From HLL's post #50 looks like about 11 weeks. Is that some kind of record? And why are Liza and David still married? They must live in separate houses.

[Utah Girl]

Nicholas Cage has just filed for divorce from Lisa Marie! Irreconcilable differences.

Well, duh. From what I've heard, Cage is impulsive when it comes to marriage. He essentially called up Patricia Arquette one night and said "Let's get married."

[BigWaveBetty]

President Bush live, ready to pardon the turkey.

[BigWaveBetty]

Luckily for our president Katie the turkey does show more couth than last year's and accepts pardon graciously.

Picture to follow.

[mountaineer]

She should write a book on how to torture your children

On top of all else, she's raising them in that whacko Scientology cult. Poor kids.

[Aggie Mama]

I just wanted to thank everyone for the kind words about baby #3. I'm not a happy camper right now b/c I'm so sick. I can't even stand the smell of my own house right now, my nausea is so bad.

My MIL is coming into town later today, and although I love her to death, she has a bad habit of wearing enough perfume for 3 people. And it's that sickly sweet "old lady" perfume too. =( I'm trying to figure out how to tell DH to tell his mom to lay off the perfume while around me, but she didn't do it for #1 or #2, so I"m assuming that it's not going to happen this time around either.

I'm in an incredibly antisocial mood. The weather is really cold and rainy and all I want to do is turn on the fire place, put my feet up and read a good book.

Sigh. Gotta go brave the crowds at the grocery so I have food in the house.
