Come one, come all -- comment on this year's freak show. It began with three sluts on stage in their underwear.

[Timesink]

Snoop Dogg has stopped smoking reefer just for the record... you notice it in his music.. his last CD sucked big time.

Yeah, I heard he quit. I just wanted to say "laconic from the chronic" and thus help cement my FR hipster reputation!

[lainie]

hee hee hee

Ahhh it's just so FAKE. The real life looks better and better on nights like these.

When are the Emmy's?

[Cathryn Crawford]

Yeah, suddenly you are waaaay hipper.

[Revolting cat!]

Thanks for the Andre Williams recommendation. I did see it in a record store a few weeks ago, and I do recall reading something about it somewhere.

[cyborg]

You have official FR street cred...

[Hillary's Lovely Legs]

Emmy's are in 3 weeks.

Be there are be square.

[Cathryn Crawford]

Must you?

[weegee]

[SC Swamp Fox]

... of course all about a camel's foot

Men are so easily distracted....and amused.

Rock's monologue is getting bleeped big time on the left coast feed.

[Artist]

That was hilarious....many thanks!

[Revolting cat!]

Have they wheeled Judge Moore's Ten Commandments Monument on stage yet?

[hole_n_one]

Timberlake wins #3 for Best Male Video ........

A google IMAGE search of the words "Johnny Cash" and "finger" will get you to a couple of sources.

I think it was originally from the early 1970s. Later in the 1990s, American Recordings used it to "thank" Nashville for the lack of airplay, recognition, etc.

There is also a photo of Jerry Lee Lewis letting both birds fly. It was a posed shot so I don't know the story behind it.

I agree with Brent Bozell that the show is actually "Queer Eye for the Straight Girl." He looked at all the show's "plots" (spruce up the man so the girl will think he's Fine) and what companies' ads the show attracts. And another review I saw yesterday talked about how the Fab 5 are interlopers in real life: court jesters brought in to amuse the king & queen, plus they're banished to the sidelines to watch the results after the fact. How antithetical to American life that they can't even partake in the spoils. Kinda interesting.

[hole_n_one]

Post of the night!

LOL!

[cyborg]

LOL...and in my mother's language it's called 'atta bunnunce'

FR always offers something new to learn every day...

[lainie]

They have not. If they did, the entire cast would melt.

[Revolting cat!]

As the cat's dear friend, a yoghurt maker, likes to say, the culture is going to hell!
