[QUOTE=Sapo] It might be the part the pushes the buttons that is broken. [/QUOTE] I’m not actually sure what was causing it, but the space was intermittent to say the least. Anyway, as indygrrl has pretty much expressed my disgust at the purient schaudenfreude re this non event for me, I don’t think I have to say anything else! ---

[QUOTE=Johnny Hildo] So the average stripper is most pissed off about: A) No workable peace plan in the Middle East. B) Global warming continues unabated. C) Beyonce tripped on her ass on Youtube and those fucks took it down. [/QUOTE] **Indygrrl** is a stripper? No shit! Although, unless you have seen her work, calling her “average” might be kind of uncool… 😉 ---

I was in the audience for that Kelsey Grammar fall and his professionalism in getting back to the task at hand (with some appropriate jokes added later) was pretty impressive. Of course, it was all the worse because sitting there you could see what was about to happen before it happened. ---

[QUOTE=This is just…] Is it bad to think the presenter is milking it because she looked like a right tit falling like that? Actually I don’t care whether it’s bad or not, I don’t like her attitude. Also why stomp at such height? [/QUOTE] Maybe the juice from the grapes is dripping into a bucket below the platform? I really don’t know why they’re up so high. I’ve seen it dozens of times though, and it makes me laugh every time. My husband and I make that “Ow ow eugh stop stop!” noise whenever we bump a knee or trip. ---

[QUOTE=Johnny Hildo] So the average stripper is most pissed off about: A) No workable peace plan in the Middle East. B) Global warming continues unabated. C) Beyonce tripped on her ass on Youtube and those fucks took it down. Surprised? Not really. I’m going to quit my job in publishing to be a street juggler and I hope people will ask for my advice. [/QUOTE] Honey, I’m a lot of things, but “average” isn’t one of them… And I quit _my_ job in **publishing** so I could make double that salary as a stripper. And so that I could go back to school for my second degree because I never want to be a drone in cubicle hell again. Money, choices, time, these are a few of my favorite things… not that I owe you an explanation, but I can’t help myself. Oh shit, I forgot, all strippers are high school dropouts who are addicted to drugs, have five kids by five baby daddies, prostitute on the side, live in trailer parks…and hmm, what else am I forgetting? Oh yeah, we were all abused as children and our daddies didn’t love us enough. My bad, I really should know my place. Apologies, Johnny Hildo, I bow to your superior intelligence. :rolleyes: ---

[QUOTE=Indygrrl] Honey, I’m a lot of things, but “average” isn’t one of them… [/QUOTE] Man, if I were in Indianapolis, you bet I’d drop by. 🙂 Beyonce’s always seemed pretty level-headed and professional to me. I’ve heard rumours about diva-like behaviour (let me look up the news site), but she comes in interviews as fairly realistic about stardom. It’s natural that she’d get up and go on with her show like nothing happened. (Why does it refuse to load for me? Why?!?!) ---
