  1. That was the first thing I thought of when reading that post, too. The book was fabulous, as was the documentary Midnight in Savannah. The movie, not so much. Although Kevin Spacey looked and sounded so much like the real Jim Williams that it was eerie. He might be a trash human being, but he is/was a helluva actor. That was my query earlier today. He's enough of a skinflint that, combined with everything that came to light during the trial, he might push for a plea. No telling how much more the Feds could come up getting a second bite of the apple.
  2. I really hope he doesn't get to remain free on bond after pleading for just one more Christmas with his kids. Just going from what I've read, it seems this judge doesn't have much use for him or the defense so hopefully it will be go directly go jail, do not pass go, do not collect $200. Hope he came prepared with a fresh pair of undies and a toothbrush!
  3. @monagatuna has Lil BUB as her avatar. BUB was all that was sweet and good and wholesome in this world. https://lilbub.com/ In other words, the complete opposite of (most of) the Duggar Clan.
  4. Ugh, I guess I just didn't want to think that we've been without her for that long. The closing arguments, thanks @Lindsay Loo Hoo, kind of make me nervous. Most of us (I would hope) know it's complete bullshit being thrown against the wall, but you never know who is on the jury. On the other hand, if it's hung then that's another trials worth of cash out of JB's pocket.
  5. Lil BUB!! As much shit is in this life due to human trash like Duggar, seeing BUB always restores my faith in the universe! I think a few days ago was the 1 year anniversary of her leaving this plane of existence.
  6. Maybe they'll have some coffee and cake before they come back with the verdict just to make it look like there was any doubt about it.
  7. Lana deserved to be taken out back to the alligator pit for no other reason than pairing that hat with that dress. Actually, the hat itself would have been reason enough. Girls in hats always annoy me, almost as much as them using their middle names instead of their last names. I knew Jershika was going to get the save, but I actually really wanted Jim and Sasha to stay, mostly because Rich Girl is one of my favorite songs. It's one of those that I was just a kid when it came out, but it immediately takes me back to a specific place, time and feeling. Also how they knew they were going home, so they just let it rip and had fun with it. I think had they done that last night instead of that drippy, limp version of Mrs. Robinson they might have made it through outright.
  8. Buy used and save the difference! I'm still shell shocked by the news that everything is going up to $1.25 after the first of the year. Ol' JB was pretty savvy to get in on that before the price change!
  9. Damn, Rita Moreno! I'll have what she's having. And that, ladies and gentlemen, is a star!!
  10. Someone asked Tom about that quite some time ago and he basically responded that ship has sailed. I wouldn't put a lot of stock into that, as neither of them are from countries that celebrate Thanksgiving (England and Australia), at least not the traditional American one.
  11. The implications from that statement makes my blood run cold We're from Arkansas, LOL~! j/k j/k I would love to think that Derick is initiating a long con of some sort, but I really can't give him that much credit for planning ahead.
  12. Ariana should have known better. Last Dance is an infamous 'send them home' song in singing competitions. I don't know if anybody has survived it. I think I recall it being a dancing jinx as well.
  13. Or, in Carrie Ann's case, crawling up on her hands and knees and gingerly getting to her feet. I was really wanting to see how she'd manage to get herself down when Derek came to her rescue and literally picked her up. It's the best in their respective fields that know their limitations, while the lesser ones try to act like they can do it all. Not calling out any fellow pros, just professions in general.
  14. Reminiscent of the infamous wedding photo of Princess Grace sprouting a centerpiece headdress atop her veil. There was another famous one where a chandelier made it look like the bride had sprouted antlers, but I can't remember who the couple was other than that they were well-known.
  15. Shump is a guard and they are generally the shortest (well, least tall) players on the team. I think maybe 6'2" to 5" is about average. He looks taller than that because Daniella is so tiny. Not sure what her height is, but Pasha isn't very tall and she's appreciatively shorter than him. The only decent NBA'er that I can think of in the past was Rick Fox, so I'm pretty stoked for him. He's definitely had a better season than the Brooklyn Nets!
  16. The thing about that is that when they package an old show with new commentary or "extras" the original broadcast date changes to the current one. That's really the one problem I have with all of the 'expanded' 'supersized' 'updated' etc. shows. They all show up as new and I'm constantly deleting dozens of shows I've already seen. Dr. Pimple Popper and My 600 lb Lire (along with Cold Justice this last year) are the worst. I don't need to wade through a bunch of episodes I've already seen just to see a pop up that informs me for the millionth time that Kelly is a former prosecutor or to hear somebody give yet another line about how their lipoma makes life unbearable.
  17. In the case of the West Memphis Three, I firmly believe that the State would only offer Alford pleas because then none of them could sue the State, City, etc. because it remained as a conviction. I think it's kind of common to be used for that purpose post conviction. Prior to sentence, it might be if they're just a little bit shaky on the jury, When it's an obviously guilty party such as Duggar, there's no point in it.
  18. I knew that John would save Shadale. It seems that he always saves and usually picks women and he even chose her over Samara. He, IMO, acted like a real skeeze on that show Duets years ago (Robin Thicke was pretty gross on there, too). He seems to have straightened up a bit since he's married, but he'll still go for looks or attraction or something. That said, it was a stupid save. Now two of his three team members are black female belters, who are just going to cannibalize each other's votes, if are any more to go around after the two other belters are finished. He definitely should have saved Samuel (although I was hoping for the long haired cutie pie) and had three distinct styles among his team. I'll admit that I'm a bit prejudiced against John just for calling his group Team Legend instead of Team John, but still... Lana might have been my least favorite on Blake's team, but he saved her because she was in a different lane than his other two singers. Blake always has been smart about strategy over emotion on this show.
  19. I thought by the time one went to college they were over the mean girls and harassing and so forth (just an assumption, I never went). And a lot of college students would be full fledged adults (back to school, grad work, etc.). I would think that the cost and case load, especially somewhere like Harvard, people wouldn't have the time and resources to waste heckling other students because of their appearance.
  20. If it was the one about Candance Prunty in Ohio, I believe it was.
  21. I agree with both of your points and will add to it people who treat Hallelujah like a gospel song.
  22. He could have been making that comment at a different time, but he was wearing that same jacket when he made a comment about the beach ball being eliminated. Either that's inexcusable editing or they tape all of their 'off the cuff' comments are taped separately and the continuity person (I assume they are no longer called 'script girls') is inexcusable. Or both. Most everybody had the right idea about it being reality people or a duo intentionally going for laughs, but Robin Thicke should be taken out back and smacked for saying Kat Dennings and Beth Behrs. I don't know about Kat, but Beth Behrs is a damned singer! I saw her a few years back, I think on a Hamlisch tribute, and I she did a tongue twisting version of Dance 10, Looks 3 (replacing the T&A with other rhyming phrases) that KILLED! And now I want Dennings and Andrew WK on the next season of Masked Singer...
