  1. Yup it was always commode. And I think Golden girls too, I think she also called it Davenport. And you had to watch your "stories" the soap operas. And my mother was from Iowa and my dad from Louisiana so he made fun of her saying "rid up the table" which was clear the table. And she said "wersh" go wersh the dishes. And he used to get so angry at how we pronounced "hawk" (school mascot, usually not something that comes up in every day conversation) he would yell "it's How-k not Hock like hockey puck".
  2. My great Aunt Babe's house was a time capsule to 50's -60's, everything perfectly preserved and she called the sofa a divan. I loved her light switches, little bubbles, I used to be annoying and just go around turning on lights. She also had a Lanai (not a deck) and a really funky round lounge chair, like it was a rocking lounge chair and of course we tried to get it rocking as much as possible almost turning ourselves into hamsters on a wheel. Oddly cannot remember the name of that thing. Oh, speaking of time capsules I went to visit somebody's aunt one time because she basically lived in Graceland, her house was like Elvis'seses because nothing had changed since 1971 and of course at the time it was super swank. So there were draperies that covered whole walls floor to ceiling and side to side. And all the hideous olive green appliances and old phones. Shag carpeting and bedrooms looked like Liberace's dressing room. So she sits down and she's telling us odd stories from her childhood and I couldn't tell if she'd had a stroke or just had such a country accent that I just wasn't understanding her too well. She had a favorite aunt who all the kids loved but she never had kids of her own. She had married a widow with a couple kids and then her second husband also had kids from a previous marriage (both husbands died not long after they got married) and she was the best mother ever yada yada. And the phrase she kept using was "she didn't had a place for a man" and at the time I thought she was trying to imply that Aunty mighta been a lesbian in a different time, she wasn't interested in men but had to get married cuz that's just what you did. No options. Then she gets to the end of the story and after Aunty died apparently she was a hermaphrodite because she "literally" had no "place" for a man. :O She said no wonder the husbands died so soon. She was hilarious! I wanted to listen to her stories all day. Her own son had been gay and had passed away but all his furniture had been sent to her and she showed us a room with all the fine china and fancy stuff, he had Steubens and she kept saying Stupens or Stupids. At first I thought she was mistaken but I think she was sharp as a tack.
  3. Oh man that sucks about the gift card. But she sounds like karma gonna take a huge chunk outta her backside one of these days. I feel like my boss goes home and says chifforobe and calls the couch a divan as well. And his house must have a name like Tara or the Ponderosa. And while I avoid ever saying the word chaise lounge for fear of the mocking he probly drops it on the regular. And when cooking he speaks all normal then pronounces spices like in french or italian. BRING ME THE AUBERGINE! I want or-uh-gawn-o not oregano. When I was a kid we didn't say "pasta" we said spaghetti and everything was spaghetti. Macaroni was elbows. But we didn't go around saying "orchietti or fusilli or penne" everything was just spaghetti. Now you gotta say it like Giada. and technically my boss has a credenza alongside his actual desk. things must be placed on the credenza portion of the desk. but once again, if you've arranged it that way to make you an L shaped desk IT'S A DESK!
  4. He really does correct you. It's hilarious. He must have some childhood trauma with desks because you simply cannot put things on desks. We have a large table up front aka "a desk" and the UPS man is not allowed to stack packages on it. If it's large items that come on a hand truck we have him wheel it to the back which isn't so weird because if they're heavy better he lift than me. But small boxes not even allowed to set down for a minute while I sign for the damn thing. He claims the boxes scuff the surface but it's not a wooden table that needs waxing it's literally painted in high gloss house paint. It's an ugly yellow color and we hammer grommets into things on it. It isn't about protecting the surface, he's just afraid of desks! It's a whole new phobia. My weekend job I've actually considered taking a fall, stepping into a drain, it would sooooo be worth a broken ankle to be able to get out of there on workman's comp. I'd electrocute myself, jump in front of a bullet, you name it, it's that bad.
  5. Dudes and Dudettes OMFG did Sons of Anarchy blow huge nonsensical chunks. Done, glory hallelujah! Should have ended with the next to last episode, the finale was downright boring. And they had 3 opportunities to take Jax out in a pseudo heroic manner, Marks dude coulda been a fight, the club coulda actually gone through with it, umm robo cop (peter weller) the betrayer coulda had a gun and he why run from the cop if he didn't intend on getting away? Lame. And I notice Tara is about the only one who didn't make an appearance to say goodbye. She did do the after show right when she got killed but Opie and Juice were there. And I just say the show been crap since they killed Opie. I'm glad you're saving babies, Irishmaple, keep fighting the good fight. My fight is to annoy my persnickety boss who hasn't given me a raise in 2 years. When you place anything on his desk he corrects you and says "credenza" so I purposely say desk and if pushed to say credenza I say it like GRUDUNZA like the cat in the hat. "moss-covered three-handled family grudunza."
  6. I had a history teacher that if you fell asleep, lacked attention or were otherwise goofing off he tossed chalk board erasers at your head. and a really really really really hippie music teacher total flower child. she seriously got off on us having our little sand blocks, tambourines and bong bong bong chimey things. ( I do not know they're proper names) And ditto on Ian McShane I love everything he does. He coulda played Beth and made me love her.
  7. I have a friend who calls me loopy fucking cunt and people get such shocked faces. They think he's a horrendous mysogenist so we've shortened to LFC.
  8. kikismom can I give you 6 thumbs up? I freaking love Deadwood! My old boss used to like it too so I got to walk in to work in the morning and shout SWEEGIN! COCK SUCKA! And everything in my formative years set me up to hate Deadwood. I do NOT watch westerns because my dad ONLY watched westerns as in we had that random channel that just played Bonanza, Wagon Train, Gunsmoke, Big Valley etc etc and that's all he frikkin watched. And I hated it. I would have thrown a brick through the tv if my tiny arm coulda hefted it. I hate, hate hate westerns. What possessed me to turn Deadwood on I have no idea, but I was hooked. I watch Ray Donovan because Trixie is in it, I watch everything the other prostitute does too. Lots of SOA overlap, Unser was on Deadwood. That other prostitute (and I'm blanking on her name) was with Jax and Tara caught them and we got naked Jax butt. They just shot her on SOA few episodes ago. When I watch other shows and somebody goes off an a monologue I say they're talking to a head in a box or blowjob soliloquy. omg now I has a sad and need to watch Deadwood.
  9. Anyone that can't give you the day before Thanksgiving off is a tool. (Men women children etc) not for cooking but for driving etc. And I hate thanksgiving. I hate thanksgiving food. We've established I hate my family the ones I haven't already stabbed to death. But yeah I want the day off. I did just have a great thanksgiving, went to visit my sister and we had fun but we didn't make turkey. We had brisket and key lime pie. :D And aside from a killer drive and having to buy her $300 worth of food and supplies that I can pay for but not really "afford" it was swell, there was no crying or fighting. I have 2 spectacular thanksgiving stories that I know will love (even if you don't WHAT THE HELL ELSE ARE YOU DOING? THERE'S NO WALKING DEAD TO WATCH) I made lobster once for thanksgiving. Well I had never cooked my own lobster before. And you know how you devein a shrimp? Well you gotta do that with a lobster too only it's the size of a pencil which will make you gag because there's way you can ignore and call it a "vein" when you're staring at a toob of poo. I practically got out bleach to clean that puppy because by jove I bought it, I's gonna eats it. It was tasty in the end <-- Hee! I said end. Then in college bunch of us too poor to go home and had to work we decided to have a "chill" and casual thanksgiving. Everybody bring a little thing (salad, side, pie whatnot) and get a chicken or ribs or some crap. who knows. Well this girl Tonya tells us her mom is coming last minute so now it's all about Tonya showing her mom she can be a hostess with the mostest. I find myself scurrying in someone's backyard at 2 am "borrowing" a dining table. We couldn't sit on the couch and watch tv with mom coming, we had to have proper plates, silverware and furniture that wasn't a futon which served as a bed, couch and dinner seating. She claimed it was somebody's cousins' boss' house and we had permission. Yeah right! Tell the cops after he's tazed me. She practically had a nervous breakdown because it had to be special for her mom. When her mom showed she was so sweet and said "oh my goodness this is too much, I thought we were just gonna have pizza and watch a movie". I nearly kicked Tonya in the teeth.
  10. I read the book The Red Tent and whilst kinda sexist, the concept that we wimmins gotta go have our Aunt Flo visit in a whole nother place cuz the boiz lose their manly man-ness, part of me is like, fuck bring that shit back. I go on vacation for 4-5 days a month, I'm not "allowed" to work. I'll watch some Walking Dead, marathon couple shows or movies I been missing. He can cook his own bland kidney beans.
  11. walnutqueen You know Kurt Sutter could not give us what we wanted, which would be slow, agonizing, eyeballs etc that we got for everybody else, even his own damn tongue got cut out, but he couldn't do that to his wife. She got roses. blah. He did this with the Shield too, the end got so ridiculous that I wanted to just toss the whole thing and he brings back all the same people, I chortled with Michael Chiklis' little cameo in Gemma's episode and of course Walter Goggins. I just can't figure out why CCH Pounder keeps coming back, he always makes her the dumbest FBI/detective always chasing down these bad guys and never getting them. bah humbug I'm watching Z nation but it's like the high school production of zombie stuff. I have a friends with benefits relationship with it. It kills time til my soulmate returns. I do watch the Mentalist off and on, ( I adored Owean (or however you spell it) so they can kiss my butt) and I mostly try to figure out what bugs me about her (can't remember her name and to watch him slip his accent here and there)
  12. I THINK I LOVE YOU GUYS! You're all doing what I'm doing. I'm waiting for SOA to die an agonizing death. I think it jumped the shark back when they killed Opie but I was invested so I'm gonna finish the damn thing. But in my head now I think it just tries to top itself each week now with ridiculous deaths and I feel like each one is like "jazz hands" or "tada!" And yes, IrishMaple, yes! CarpeDiem54 my condolences and virtual hugs. I have a cat I can ship you in a box :) I will even punch air holes. He's stinky. I'm watching NCIS New Orleans and yes because I love the kid from Sling Blade! I cannot stand NCIS original recipe, I just wanna hold Gibbs down and change the hair. I also loved the Killing, yes Holden and Linden would do well in the apocalypse but she was married to Brad Pitt in his zombie movie and she was the helpless wife while he saved the world. But in real life she's married to Cameron from Ferris Bueller, why that makes me happy I don't know. I love Cameron. And CSI is pissing me off because it's delayed for football so I keep getting partial episodes. rassin frassin football running late >:( I think I covered most things, yay! I read, I'm a thoughtful poster, it's not all about me me me, do these pants make my butt look big? oh yes, I think game of thrones is February or March, kinda back when TWD is back. Which is fine with me 2 great things doesn't hurt.
  13. Yes i'm already planning on the New Years Marathon but I see myself saying "Remember that one time that Beth died? yeah that was cool" and dreaming of slashing walkers with candy canes (and thangs) wake up sweating shouting "CORALLLLLLLLL"
  14. What are we gonna do til February? I know they take the break for the holidays but I don't like my family. I spend as little time with them as possible.
  15. I think Father Pee Pants needs to spend eternity with Kirk Cameron, that's a fate worse than being a walker. And it's just now hitting me that I shant have my show to chat about next week. sad face, cuz even when it sucks I still wanna say it sucks.
  16. This is going back a while to when we were comparing Chris Hardwicke to the doofus on the SOA after show, did they fire him? Haven't seen him, the first show back Kurt Sutter ran it himself and last week (or the week before break, as I've not watched this weeks episode) there was some gray haired dude. I like Chris Hardwicke, he knows his topic and is a fan, only drawback for me is that if he really didn't like Beth or has any criticisms he can't express them. He does have to kiss ass to AMC/the show to get the access he has.
  17. I saw a commercial already for a New Years Marathon and I may have to hunker down for this because it's been so long since I watched the pilot or season 1 and I'd like to go back and recall these things. For 2 years I was like "where da F is morgan?"
  18. I wasn't sure what Morgan was doing with the goo goo cluster and the bullet. I wasn't getting the vibe that he was despondent and this was his sacrifice before killing himself, but I imagine the bullet is for that eventuality. But I thought the laugh was from looking up and reading the "whoever eats of my flesh or drinks of my blood" whatever scripture (chosen for the inside joke of "hey look, zombies eat flesh") I do think he was there seeking some type of answer and yes the map I think provides it. But I think he is "clear" now and I hope they quit teasing us with his appearances. I know partially they can't lock him down (or couldn't) because he's very in demand as an actor, they gotta have something good for him.
  19. The only thing I can assume that Beth "got" in that moment of epiphany is that Dawn was now Hansen and needed to be put down (I couldn't figure out if Dawn had to put Hansen down because he became "evil" and was head of the rapey squad or because he became weak and the rapey squad came about because they didn't respect him) but seriously the scissors make that knowledge useless. She needed to "get" it at the elevator shaft and push Dawn down, then if anyone killed Beth in retaliation then she really did do something. Or if "getting" it was about her comment "they always come back" which she said to Noah when she forced him to come back, she "got" that Dawn was abusive step mother who always claims you're free to go as you please but then pulls the strings because she's the puppet master. I'm virtually useless in any situation but I swear I could have gotten the scissors closer to her neck.
  20. I think they do random schtick whether it's food themed or like a pair of scissors. And I wasn't comepletely squicked out by him taking a swipe at the cake, I probably wouldn't have eaten the cake anyway, put it on ebay with the "as seen on tv" moniker and "Chris Hardwicke touched it", certificate of authenticity.
  21. In the preview Michonne says something is 100 miles? is that the next desitination/plan?
  22. I haven't actually watched yet but wouldn't Emily Kinney have already filmed this when she made the first appearance the other week? Why wouldn't she have been verklempt then? edit because I'm clearly on drugs....filmed her death? been done by the first time she appeared.
  23. Much like this episode I will be incoherent because I'm tired and I don't think my neck will ever recover from my drive yesterday. What exactly did Beth "get" at the last moment? If she didn't know enough about Dawn before this prisoner exchange, like she helped Dawn push the cop down the elevator shaft and Dawn already slapped her around enough...why she gotta have an epiphany and attempt a really, really lame brave move? At least she coulda killed Dawn I actually shouted at my television "push HER down the elevator shaft" and at that moment I didn't care if it was Dawn or Beth was the pusher or pushee. This is now the second time that they have NOT killed all the bad guys. Rick wanted to go back after Terminus and wipe them all out, they poo poo'ed that idea. Now because female 2.0 throws up her hands and says "that's all the bad seeds" we just walk away? Hell the f no, mow them down. I don't even care about Beth that much but there shoulda been some Sonny Corleone gunshot action when Dawn shot Beth. They claimed Lamson aka bob2.0 was one of the good ones, why are we believing anyone? I need to rewatch, I was woozy
