I think Alanis has stated in interviews that, while “You Oughtan Know” isn’t about one man in particular, Dave Coulier likes to _think_ it’s all about him.

Horrifying realization…if Coulier and Alanis went out for a while, then it’s entirely probably that, at some point in his life, _Dave Coulier has had sex_. He has had the potential to breed. This must never happen again.

Ugh…I caught a bit of that Mary Kate’s and Ashley’s Adventures this morning on some channel-Disney? Fox Family?  
They sing these stupid songs with their friends…but they can’t. fucking. sing.

What I always hated about Full House is that it was so perfect. Oh, you took drugs? It’s okay, honey, we know you’re sorry…we still love you!

And N4S-I can’t BELIEVE I remember this shit, but Joey and Danny were friends since gradeschool, when they stood up to a bully and buried a time capsule with Joey’s insult book and Danny’s yankees cap. Then they invite Jesse to come along and they rebury it along with Jesse’s hair dryer.  
ARGH!

Another pair I hate: Tia and Tamera Mowry.

A monkey with a giant ugly mouth & stringy hair. Honestly, can’t the woman afford a bottle of shampoo & a hairdryer?

I think it’s scarier that **Alanis Morrisette** had sex.

Actually, true story, but I knew Alanis Morrissette when she was still a cable-TV-star-disco-queen in Canada, through a friend of mine who dated her a few times. She was much prettier then, probably because she remembered to wash her hair. I liked her dance music more than her screech music, too. I would characterize her more as a [howler monkey](http://www.hoglezoo.org/mammals/howler.htm).

Getting back to the issue of the Gibbon Girls, is there anyone more despicable? I mean, cloying, yecchy kids in bad TV shows are bad enough, but I can’t think of ANY child actors worse than the Olsen-Gibbon Twins. Even Macaulay Culkin is better.

What’s with all this Alanis Morrissette(sp?) bashing? _I_ would have sex with her. Of, course I’m can’t afford to be choosy these days, but still…

As for the Gibbon Twins and what **RickJay** said, I agree Macaulay Culkin is nowhere near as bad. He never depended on “cuteness,” but actually acted a little bit. Plus, he made a movie (“The Good Son”) wherein he tried to kill someone. Gibbon Girls never did that.

Maybe when the Olsen twins get real old they can have their own show called “The Gibbon Girls.” Kind of like “The Golden Girls,” but even more objectionable.

**RickJay** I don’t think I’ve said this lately, but you are the man. Not just any man, but _ **the** _ man.  
Of course, seeing as how I have a 9 year old sister and that I’m exposed to them constantly, my name is all over that petition.  
And now, just because I’m feeling evil, let me take you all on a trip down memory lane, with the opening song lyrics for Full House…  
“What ever happened to predictibility?  
The milkman, the paperboy, evening TV…”  
::thunk::

Hey!! Who threw that? I was only kidding! I may be evil, but I’m not _that_ evil…

loading shotgun.

chk-chk.  
I am the Angel of Death. The time of purification is at hand.

I swear. I’m just waiting for the “Ashley and Mary-Freaking-Kate have an accident in a sawmill” film.

sample script

Ashley: wow, Mary-freaking-Kate, its great that we were invited to this abandoned, rat infested saw mill.

Mary-freaking-Kate: Get real Ashley, Abandoned Sawmills are so _passe_  
suddenly, the walkway gives way and the 2 are last seen being hurled into a rusty wood chipper.

both: AARRGGGGHHH!! AARRRRGGGHH!  
fin.

Check it out…Dave Coulier’s official site, 9th question from the top:

I think it’s about him…seems obvious.

The fact that Dave Coulier is allowed to have a web site at all is a Sign of the Apocalypse ™.

One of the stores I work in sells Mary-Kate and Ashley Dolls. They’re uglier than the actual girls are. They don’t sell much, either.
