For the opportunity to spend $300,000 per month I would marry Lionel (but we'd have to go to San Francisco)!

[kjam22]

or New York, or Mass., or Santa Fe, or.... but that's disgusting.

Pilate? I didn't know either. Google search produced this...."Pilates is a modern version of the ancient movements found in Yoga. From hundreds of poses, a man named Joseph Pilates created a basic system of 34 exercises "

Actually, while Pilates is sort of similar to Yoga, it's not based on it at all. It's considered a form of strength training and stretching/flexibility that uses the body itself for resistance, and focuses on the core or the "powerhouse" of the body -- the abdomen, the butt, the thighs and the hips.

It's based on movements, not poses and there are far more 34 exercises. Heck, I do more than that in one class. :)

Pilates is a form of strengthening exercise that focuses on the deep inner core muscles. It tends to lengthen the muscles, improving posture and can actually make a person taller. My wife does it at the YMCA along with all the other activities for about 50 bucks a month. It's named after the guy who "invented" this exercise.

Actually, it can't lengthen or change the shape of muscles, but it *can* (and does) strengthen them and give the body a leaner appearance.

Which tape do you use?

[Seruzawa]

I think she's going about this all wrong. She should sue to have the pre-nup invalidated due to the long term abuse of being forced to listen to his music.

"Let's run over Lionel Richie with a tank."

[unsycophant]

She's sure got a lot of eyebrow going on for someone who spends $1000 a month on hair removal.

"My guess is that Lionel Richie's wife is a hard core liberal and is totally against school choice and all for socialized medicine (expect, of course, for the rich elite)..."

Take it to Vegas. You nailed it.

. . . and people like this don't see themselves as hypocrites. Unbelievable. But, then again, part and parcel of living as a liberal. (Liberalism = disconnect between ideology and reality.)

[Prodigal Son]

Wow. I never would have guessed Lionel had that much money.

[kjam22]

Me either.... that's a lot of cash.

[Prodigal Son]

(nodding emphatically) It's a lot of cash.

I don't mind that you didn't search before you posted this to find the thread I posted about this last night.

Just don't steal any of my jokes. ;)

[kjam22]

I did search. I searched on "richie" and it didn't find your thread. Sorry about that.

[BBT]

Word for word what I was thinking.

[nightdriver]

"Geez, how did you miss all of the infomercials?????"

They're impossible to miss.

I watch them with the sound off when Daisey Fuentes is on. ;^)

[Hildy]

How can a second-rate singer get that rich? Wow.

[AppyPappy]

Dang Lionel. Get her a date with Baretta or something.

[traumer]

Part of the divoce settlement should be to work ONE day as a WALMART greeter..... !

:o)

[AppyPappy]

Look on the bright side, Lionel. It beats wearing a pot of hot grits.

[VRWCmember]

Richie's hits include "Say You, Say Me," "Hello" and "Penny Lover."

Penny Lover???! Sounds like this broad is a MegaDollar Lover to me. Brings to mind the phrase "Now that we've established what you are, let's haggle on price."
