In tribute to the Armed Forces today the participants will be mostly dressed in black and for the men business attire is encouraged.

Celebratory music has also been cancelled as well

[Keith in Iowa]

That pig isn't even man anough to grow a decent beard...

[Mears]

Peter O'Toole on,God I wish I had a British accent!

[Lil'freeper]

O'Toole is thankful for all the US has given him, professionally and personally, friends and opportunity. VERY classy!

[wallcrawlr]

Real classy speach he gave.

[HairOfTheDog]

Heh.... maybe, but I saw more stunned silence among the recognizable and heard more booing than cheering. I was heartened, but I like to see the sunny side of things.

[T Lady]

Peter O'Toole is now giving his acceptance speech for the honorary Oscar.

...That's just great...give 'em an award when they're either on their way to the grave, or already in it. Makes no sense.

-Regards, T.

"Call me crazy, but I think that pin says "peace" in Arabic"


That was my thought....
Heard they were putting those things on ebay afterwards. Joan's daughter, Mellisa, said she was....ewwbuoy.

[Wormwood]

Finally, some class to wash away the swill.

[RummyChick]

[Gunder]

Unlikely. Seat fillers are usually wannabe actors. Why shoot themselves in the foot before they're out of the gate?

[Hildy]

He thanked America for all it's given to him. It was beautiful. Thank God for a classy Gentleman.

[ValerieUSA]

"He's dead, Jim."
THAT was so clever! *LOL*

[Lil'freeper]

He probably agrees with them 100%. The swill could take their cues from him and behave.

[stands2reason]

Love that music, and that movie. I pray I never have to hear of Branagh's political leanings!

[xp38]

Hey me too...I just like to think an average unknown person filling an empty seat has more brains than the average so called "star"

[gortklattu]

How many people were killed at Columbine?

How many has Saddam killed?

[hispanarepublicana]

Thank God for a classy Gentleman.

Thank God I don't have to stop watching Lawrence of Arabia. It's bad enough I can't watch O Brother Where Art Thou? anymore thanks to Looney George Clooney.

[Lil'freeper]

He's too full of himself to have any. megalomaniac- wrote his memoirs at age 28! Love his interpretations of Shakespeare, tho.

[stands2reason]

Some people are educated past their abilities...

[T Lady]

Hans Blix would probably walk off with the Best Actor statuette for that one.

-Regards, T.
