I have ambitious plans to do my homework while I watch tonight, surely I can get thru algebra in two hours right? I have a sinking feeling I’ll be doodling more notes about who I like/hate than doing equations. :smack: ---

Just don’t turn in your AI notes instead of your algebra homework, **Queen Tonya**. That might require a bit of explaining. 😉 And no boobies necessary, **rockle** – it could be the fact that there is _nothing_ opposite it that he watches, coupled with the pleasure of my company. 😃 ---

I offered up the sacrificial boobies and got absolutely _nada_. In fact, he said to me, and I quote: “It’s on for _two hours_ tonight? I hate that show _twice_.” ---

Why is it that AI almost always broadcast the night before I have to get up extra early for work? _groan_ To make matters worse, tonight it’s up against _Dity Jobs_. I don’t have TiVo. _Which one am I going to watch?_ aieeeeeeeee! ---

Bravo **Susie** for that lovely rendition of Tan In A Bottle. I laughed, I cried, I got a little darker. Why is GLAAD up in arms? The boy couldn’t sing-- girl’s clothes or not. And “Are you a boy or a girl” is not a dis. It’s a question. Maybe I’m missing something. Did Simon hit him with some of his bile and I didn’t catch it? ---

> [@Biggirl](#): > > Bravo **Susie** for that lovely rendition of Tan In A Bottle. I laughed, I cried, I got a little darker. Yeah, I meant to mention that I am now looking suspiciously at my little tube of bronzer. I’m afraid that all the tans-in-cans around the world are trying to organize, and that Paley McFairskinned people like me are going to be first against the wall when the Revolution comes. And I, for one, welcome our new Coppertone overlords! ---

You know what sucks? Well, I’ll tell you. It sucks that you guys get to see it three whole hours before I do and by the time I get here to dish, y’all are asleep and the thread is 3 pages long. Dumb stupid time zones. ---

Would it make you feel better if I said that sometimes I have nightmares about these people? So it’s not like it’s a restful sleep, or anything. ---

She’s better than the other things that they’ve shown… but not as good as some other I’ve heard. ---

Kelly Pickler-- shades of Carrie, but I don’t care. I LOVE THIS GIRL. ---

Blondie seems like a sweet girl, but I’m having visions of Carmen the Goat Girl. ---

I like her voice and her personality so far much more than Carrie’s, but I hope poor Kelly realizes that the sweet wholesome blonde down-home country Southern girl archetype can probably **not** win two seasons in a row. Unless they do something major to her niche, I can’t imagine her winning. ---
