Sorry, didn’t feel like wading through12 pages of “I’m gonna be the one to kill this thread”.

Python reference retracted (but it seemed like the right thing to do at the time).

Since it won’t focus on weight loss topics, do you think she’ll have anybody associated with _Cop Rock_ on?

I’d so watch, if that were the case.

Cop Rock, now that was classic television right there. I don’t know why it doesn’t get the same respect as _I Love Lucy_.

I thought Star Jones was a really big chick. Is this the same one, only in economy size now, or am I thinking of someone else?

Fettucine alfredo, salad, chips and homemade salsa.

WTF was _Cop Rock_?

OH MY FUCKING GOD, I just youtubed it.

But the fact that Marc Copage, the kid who played Diahnn Carroll’s son, Cory Baker, on _Julia_, the seminal _and_ groundbreaking Black TV drama from the 60s, was on two episodes of _CR_ has gotta be worth something!

Yes, it’s the same Star Jones, minus a little bit of herself on the inside (bariatric surgery) and whole lot of herself on the outside.

Threadie’s dead. That’s what I said.

Not quite ready, but there is a thread that you might want to follow about a movie involving tennis playing crossword enthusiasts over in Cafe Society. Can’t find the link to it though. Try it, you may like it.
