[Dan from Michigan]

They should have Tim and Howie Dean do a sequel.....

[denydenydeny]

No one cares.

[John H K]

What is a "tweeker"?

White trash methamphetamine (speed) addict.

[Maigrey]

Sorry to not humor you, but I'm here to laugh at the liberals, not do dictation for who says what.

I do that on live political speech threads. I'm here for the popcorn, drinks, and laughing at liberals and their funny attire.

Summary: LOTR, and Tim Robbins. Satisfied?

[LisaMalia]

YOU'LL RUE THE DAY YOU CROSSED ME, TREBEK!!!!!!

[Pylon]

What is a "tweeker"?

A coke head, someone who is on coke or crystal.

[BigWaveBetty]

Do we have any idea what this dress is about?

[NewRomeTacitus]

Something like a "fluffer"? Just guessing.

[mabelkitty]

Yes. On his other side, you can see half of his wife's face.

[NYC GOP Chick]

BWB, do you want to handle this, or shall I? ;)

[AgentEcho]

They should have gotten Steve Martin to do it. He's signed to play the new Cleuseau.

[nutmeg]

What I heard was Billy Crystal say, in Spanish, that Benicio del Toro is more macho than Mel, and Mel is more religious.

Thanks for your answer, many posts ago. I'm having a hard time keeping up with this thread, running from room to room (TV in another room). Good exercise, though!

Mel has far greater stones doing what he's done, and Hollywood knows it.

AMEN to that!

[Lil'freeper]

AAAAAACK! I just saw a commercial for Babawa Wawa's interview with Rosie's "wife" (sic). Really. SICK!

[al baby]

[John H K]

Eh, coke heads are coke heads. I've never heard anyone described as a tweaker who wasn't a meth addict.

[NYCVirago]

Tim Robbins? Damn. At least I missed his speech for the Wings Game(won 4-2) and "Animal House".

You didn't miss much. No Bush bashing or anything. It was a pretty classy speech -- nothing controversial or offensive in it whatsoever.

[Senator Pardek]

All real NYers check Ch. 11 first. I spent my childhood watching the daily offering of Star Trek repeats at 6 PM on WPIX - that explains a lot.

[job]

as it pertains to meth, somebody who cranks on meth all night, next day, next night .. . .

[John H K]

Eh, coke heads are coke heads. I've never heard anyone described as a tweaker who wasn't a meth addict.

[Houmatt]

Rosie's WHO?!? Did you see the way that was promoted?

I almost tossed my salad.
