  1. WTF does that even mean, assuming its translated into English? Did the moron think it was a possible death sentence?

     

    I agree that it's clunky as a sentence, and certainly doesn't convey much in this context, but it's not actually incorrect in terms of grammar or syntax.

     

    I'm sure Andy is shaking with anticipation over the ratings bonanza of WWHL.  I don't usually watch, but I just set my dvr for it.

     

    I don't usually watch it either, and I didn't think of this…though, oddly, my BF did set the DVR.

  2. Joe was sentenced to 41 months on four counts, plus 12 months on an additional count, to be served concurrently. He'll also get two years probation and will have to pay $414,000 to Wells Fargo bank, plus $10,000 in fines. He will be able to surrender himself.

     

    If Teresa is also sentenced to prison, she will first serve her term, then her husband will serve his. The judge said that immigration services will not act on Joe's deportation case until after his sentence is served, and she recommended that he participate in an alcohol program.

     

    This is from People.com, so who knows how accurate all of it is... 

  3. Or maybe he's just a shit stirring asshole who can't help himself

     

    I confess: if this is true, it makes me like him a little.

    And did he browbeat Amber into not saying anything (even after she said she wouldn't) just so she wouldn't steal his thunder when he did? Because clearly him telling her to keep her lips zipped was not because he wanted a relaxing vacation.

     

    OMG, Joe's brothers look just like him.

     

     

    I am pretty sure Joe has only one brother. The other guy is his brother-in-law. Also, Pete Giudice used to menace my BF and his friends when they were kids. Joe, apparently, did not; whether that was due to being "nicer," or to proximity (he was in a different school), I have no clue.

     

    I am all for a large closet, but a two-story one like Kathy describes sounds kind of stupid.

  4. I don't think Walking Dead has been as good or riveting since the season Shane was killed. Boy may have been unhinged but he sure as hell made the most sense out of all these fools and quiet as it has been kept all the group members seemed to move closer to the Shane way of thinking as the seasons have progressed, especially Rick. Sure no one is maiming people to throw to the walkers as they make their get away (poor Otis) but everyone is learning you can't be a bleeding heart and you have to made some tough calls that may not be morally correct.

     

    THANK YOU! Oh, I swear, I practically had an argument with a friend over Rick's treatment of Shane, who I acknowledged was far from perfect. If Rick had even just for a moment peeked behind Shane's curtain of crazy, and considered what his best friend was actually trying to say, things may have been different! (Also, I equate Rick and Shane to Obi Wan and Anakin in this scenario.)

    My UO on The Walking Dead (at least I think it might be a UO) is that they all should have left Hershel's farm when Hershel asked them to! I don't buy into the "but it's a whole new changed world!" business, at least not in this case. OK, "stealing" food from an abandoned store or shacking up uninvited in someone else's empty home, fine. But Hershel was still there and the farm was still his, and they should have respected that, especially if they were determined to remain human--in body and spirit--despite recent events.

     

    I want to watch the Tudors but I cannot stand the sight of Jonathan Rhys Meyers. I don't know what it is about him but I have an irrational hatred for him.

     

    Give it a try. The show, while not terribly historically accurate, is pretty compelling and pretty to look at. Dare I say that there are even a few scenes in which he does a pretty good job. 

     

    I loved Bill Hader's impression of him on SNL's Dateline parodies....hilarious!

     

    Oh, it's the best! I watch a lot of crime stuff, and when my BF and I saw Bill Hader do this impression, I laughed (so did my non-crime-enthusiast BF, but not for the same reason I did) and yelled, "Oh my god!" When he asked why I was so excited, I had to tell him that, while Bill Hader was definitely exaggerating, Keith Morrison really did kind of do that whole, slightly titillated "Ohhhhhhh?!" thing.

    My other UO is that I still like Modern Family.

  5. At one Los Angeles city council meeting some nut job parent stood up and said e-cigs were dangerous because kids will find a way to use them for illegal substances. That is ridiculous because kids, so sadly, use illegal substances without ec-cigs and they smoke real cigarettes.

     

    Back in my day (haha!), the kids (i.e., my friends) were using halved apples to smoke their weed from. Ban the apples!

  6. It would not have hurt he to have said one nice thing about the home.  Maybe if she is lucky the family can return to Lincoln Park-their roots.

     

    I didn't see her say anything negative about the house at all. But I heard her say to her dad that it was nice.

     

    I think that having Kathy around made Teresa extremely defensive and mean-spirited.

     

    I know her presence would make me feel that way!

  7. To be fair, they may say "when my symptoms came back." My issue is just that they're all talking like I am already aware they had those symptoms, then apparently didn't. Why not just say, "When I was diagnosed with..." or some kind of backstory before telling us about the return of something viewers never knew existed?

  8. There is a bunch of asthma-remedy commercials that make no sense to me. They start out with the person just saying a random thing ("I love camping!" or "Birthdays are my favorite time of year!" or "Hooray for boats!" or some shit) that makes no difference to the viewer. Then, all of a sudden, "...when my asthma came back, blahdy-blah-blah."

     

    "Came back"? Never before in the commercial did the person mention that s/he had asthma to begin with. What the hell?

  9. I was about to post the same thing.  Hallmark is advertising their Christmas movie marathon, where they show nothing but Christmas movies 24/7 (and annoy all us Gold Girls and Frasier fans).  It's going to start on 10/31.  So they are advertising Christmas movies for 2 months, before they play them for 2 months.  Wow.  It's only my love of GG and Frasier that keeps me watching that channel.

    OH MY GOD, this is the bane of my existence! I need Frasier and GG and all that shit to go to sleep to! See, I can't leave the TV on something too boring, but I also can't leave it on something new and interesting; it has to be an old dependable standby! And these crappy Christmas movies are not that! Oh, I am mad.

  10. Exactly.  The racism rampant in the ad is disgusting.

    Ugh, this reminds me of the Manga mascara commercial with the exaggerated and vaguely offensive accent. 

     

    The use of the word "nom" drives me crazy.  The douchebag guys are bad enough, but something about the middle-aged blond woman taking a bite, then looking around as she says "nom" makes me extra stabby.  I was looking up recipes on line today.  One included pictures, the last of which was entitled "noming".  Not making that recipe.  It's as bad as kids on my lawn!

     

    Oh, me too. I hate "nom," I hate "num," and I even hate "yum" and "yummy," especially when it's used for things that aren't food, e.g., "This sofa's leather upholstery is just so yummy!"

     

    It reminds me of the ad for the place that buys used and broken cell phones.  The woman say something along the lines of "It's like I send them my cell phone and they send me money" as if she's astonished by the thought that they did what they said they would do.

     

    This made my BF (who is far more tolerant of shit like this) say, "It's not like that, it is that...asshole."

  11. Someone above posted that Joe Giu again wasn't in the show.  I recall last June the tabloids were saying that Teresa and Joe were fighting because he was out drinking and hanging out with friends, and she wanted him home with the family.

     

    He's at least been out lately -- a bunch of people I know ran into him in some horrid "clubby" kind of bar near me last weekend. Other Joe was there too, but I didn't detect anyone else in the FB photos.

  12. This. I'm getting the damned Fabellini and the pastries. The money from the wine isn't going into Teresa's pocket- the government is going to get it! So screw you, Teresa!  And of course Kathy's cannolis just to spite Teresa? Well, that's just a bonus.

     

    Prepare for a... unique taste not unlike carbonated children's Robitussin. I can't speak of the cannolis but I assume they taste like any other of the bazillions you can buy in NJ.
