I've been waiting for a thread to pop up all day. Is anyone else interested?
I have not been interested since Bob Hope stopped hosting.
This thread may jump the snark at any moment
Whos Bob Hope ?
In the interest of expediency, I have prepared a code system. Please self-label as needed:
#1: I hate movies, or used to like them but changed my mind, and wouldn't be caught dead watching this show full of uber-liberal snobs and elitist, socialist scum.*
#2: I can't believe anyone (such as you people) would actually be caught dead watching this show full of uber-liberal snobs and elitist, socialist scum.*
#3: Sure, I'll watch and point & laugh; enjoying an evening of fun & merriment with some fellow conservative-minded folks.
#4: I will choose another thread now. If I decide to share (here) whether I'm a #1 or a #2, I understand a reply might arrive, but is not guaranteed.
*proceed directly to #4
pinging for old times’ sake!
Lainie! Lainie! Lainie!
Thanks for the ping! I’ll post later on tonight...
Miss ya!
Thanks for the pinger! Put me down as a #3.
#3: Sure, I’ll watch and point & laugh; enjoying an evening of fun & merriment with some fellow conservative-minded folks.
No problem, chica. I’ve missed you, too!
*innocent look*
I’ll be good as gold. I’m just waiting for the acceptance speeches from the documentary winner.
I wonder if it will be laced with Go Obama go speechs
Just for that, here's your reward. A picture of Lisa Rinna, the first arrival in the yahoo newswire. Her & her highly doctored face.
Hope for change!
Change for hope!
Hope the Plastic People enjoy themselves. Don't their hands hurt from endlessly patting themselves on the back? How many awards shows do they give themselves each year? It's at least one a month.
Salma Heyak arrive yet?
We should have an Annual FReepers Awards thread. Best Post of the Year. Etc.
