I have never before seen a name so utterly descriptive of a man without soul fitting so well.
Dahling, you are so utterly fitting of consuming pop culture of the most refined degree that I picture you as two television eyes and a radio ear, and a small wiggling wire that consists of your brain hooked directly to your plastic fantastic credit card.
You know what they say about making assumptions. . . 
Actually, maybe you should realize that not everyone gives a fuck that you don’t give a fuck.
:rolleyes:
You forgot “elitist,” dear heart!
Ah, yes, now I remember why I never became a teacher–there are just too many kids proud of their educational and intellectual limitations, and who get flustered and defensive when asked to look beyond the thicket of their own eyebrows.
Nah. You’re just insecure because her intellectual endowment makes you look like a zygote.
A secure person who wanted to learn would sit back and read, and if not interested would move on, not make pathetic remarks at the expense of someone freely sharing their knowledge.
Oh, I forgot to add that in the Pop Icons thread, I was joking with another poster about Lillian Russell being “mad ghetto fab” and Ruth Etting “laying down sicc beats.”
Being whooshed can indeed be “annoying.”
I think Miss Piggy said it best, really.
“Pretentious? Moi?”
You’re not alone. I have a bad feeling that we’re the only people who got my “Notorious VIC” joke.
Great, now I’m picturing Queen Victoria doing hip-hop.
Well, according to at least one person here on the SDMB, she doesn’t deserve one.
Hard to believe if you ask me.
See here.
Victor Herbert, actually. (It was just after the Lilian Russell comment).
(BTW, I’ve determined that Katharine Hepbrun, as a singer, is the female Rex Harrison. Mundane, but still interesting.)
I’m fucking stupid. At first I thought you said hippopotamus, chique.
Eve, don’t worry. Fifty years from now when Madonna dies, some numbnuts will call whiteboy pretentious for actually remembering her name.
So we have a number of reports of sightings of the mysterious Kate Hepburn Special Edition of People, but no specimen has actually been discovered by science?
Heads up, folks – we’re witnessing the birth of a new discipl;ine: cryptobibliography!!
Oh, I actually did see a copy: eleven dollars! Jesus, for that much, I could have gotten a train up to Connecticut and seen her in person!
Yep, spotted at the local 7-11. Want a copy, Eve?
I always thought Rex Harrison was the female Katherine Hepburn.
I know, I just saw it tonight, too, Eve, and I thought "Why, perhaps I’ll just buy a copy and mail it on up to my favorite NY doyenne of classic film, but then I noticed the price.
Not that you’re not worth $11, Eve.
Also, I don’t know why I further specified the geographic limitations of my favorites, as if I also had a silent film biographer in St Louis, Charlotte, and San Jose. You’re my favorite doyenne of such, anywhere.
This reminds me somewhat of Bill Hurt’s wonderful monologue introduction of Glenn Close when she was the guest host on SNL. He kept qualifying, and qualifying, and qualifying his rating of her talent.
For Eve, I’ll pick up a copy. I’m wandering into the city next week, or week after, anyhow. And I’ve been wanting to check up on her computer situation. If, of course, you’re interested. How are things with the electronic beast?
Well, how much does People usually cost? It looks as though it is at least five times as thick. (I have no idea whether it has legitimate articles or only puff and public domain photos.)
