[eddie willers]

During the Blake Edwards thing, while they were showing "10" wasn't that the music to "Bolero"?

Yes....by Maurice Ravel

[goodnesswins]

I was thinking earlier they probably don't marry because of the taxes.....most libs are excessively worried about their money, IMHO.

[katykelly]

What is a "tweeker"?

[xp38]

Pussy's daughter.

[I'm ALL Right!]

Kelly is at the top of the "Worst Dressed" list now!

[Trinity_Tx]

Read the books! You'll become a fan in no time. ; )

[ejdrapes]

Sheesh, give it up, some people actually like to have fun.

I guess it's not possible for some people. They just enjoy bitching and complaining (or kvetching, as Michael Medved would say). People need to lighten up and not be so hypersensitive (or turn the dial if this show bothers them so much)...but of course if you say that then you must be a liberal, right?

[mass55th]

Thanks for the new Mel break!

[Petronski]

Dunno. But I am still laughing at Billy Crystal's idea of what Connery is thinking:

"Pussy Galore! I just got that!"

I think Sean probably understood the meaning of the term decades ago. Literally, 'understood.'

[Unam Sanctam]

Isn't that Scarlett Johansson?

[Clemenza]

Did you ever see Being There? You know there is no justice in the world when Being There received no Oscars, yet a bunch of morons use the same idea in Forrest Gump and it is rewarded.

I Love you Alice B. Toklas was a great flick as well. Peter Sellers was da man!

[xp38]

or maybe grand daughter

[Not A Snowbird]

THANK YOU!!!!

[mabelkitty]

The zietgist of the Clinton era.

[Johnny_Cipher]

He blasphemes the memory of Peter Sellers.

Kinda like the weekend weather guy on public access cable standing in for Harry Caray.

[Lil'freeper]

*sigh*

[weegee]

Someone is making a biopic about Peter Sellers (I don't think they are going for his whole life in this one).

Don't remember who's got the lead.

[weegee]

Rich WHO?

[FourPeas]

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! *sigh* I was recording the Wings game (watching one I recorded last week when we were on vacation). Dan how could you??

;-)

[KellyAdmirer]

I'm still recovering from the fact that Crystal actually mentioned Sacheen Littlefeather during that weird ramble.
