Liz looks like a guy and Jacko looks like a white woman. Are they trying to change places?

Having seen interviews with Rollins, I have to say, he’s quite a sensible guy.

I agree. Rollins is cool, smart, sane, sober and funny. I’d trust him with my kid over a _lot_ celebrities.

Well yeah! It was a compliment; that’s why I said ‘seriously’. Plus, if it was a matter of **having** to leave the kids with some responsible adult, as opposed to **letting** them sleep over with the Cool Grownup Person, I firmly believe Rollins wouldn’t let them pull any crap.

“Ohhhhhhh, so you wanna have _cookies_ for dinner, instead of this beef stew your mom left? Ooooooookay, let’s see how many cookies you can eat in _five minutes_!..What? You wanna stop now? Cookies not sittin’ right? Well, GUESS WHAT! You’re gonna keep eatin’ those cookies UNTIL THEY COME OUTTA YOUR EARS!!!”
