I’ve always liked MBR. I know who she is. My mother’s family are good God-fearin’ Lutherans from Minnie-SO-da. I spent Christmas holidays with these folks for years. Yup, they’re literal, often unsophisticated, very conservative and life often revolves around the church. They are also warm and kind, stout friends, and can be incredibly charitable and generous. All of us could do worse than aspire to be an MBR. I always wondered if my relatives had a secret wild side. I’m betting at least a few of them did and I think it would be amazing, amazing if MBR did, too. On a prior topic, I see the expressions of relief at the other place that people aren’t being so hard on dear Lisa are already starting.:dubious: ---

Speaking of, you have the best profile name! Agreed. After all the negative reinforcement we’ve received at the hands of the other site for exercising rapier wit and indulging in some very black humor, we may take some time to get reconditioned. We’re like a rescue dog who’s been beaten. Lots of potential, just requiring a little retraining. And yes, we have strange addiction in the shopping channels. But hey, it could be worse. We could have a compulsion to eat toilet paper or our own toenails. Or be rabid Rush Limbaugh fans (we aren’t are we? :eek: ) There are some very bright, clever, and well-educated people in our group. Give us a chance, we won’t disappoint. ---

I was watching Wendy Williams this morning and they gave the whole audience Keurig 2’s. All I could think of was what’s been said about them previously and how unhappy a lot of people were with theirs because of the k-cup restrictions. I know there’s a way to get around that but that it even needs to be done to be able to use a variety of k-cups is idiotic and stupid. ---

So the first pic was posted elsewhere and is now under review. For those who didn’t see it’s Lisa getting her hair done for the upcoming Spaz show coming up tomorrow and it makes it seem like she’s balding pretty badly. The 2nd pic is a group of people including Spaz tending to her extensions. If it takes that many people to make her hair look decent after using Wen it doesn’t inspire me to want to purchase that stuff. I did a few years ago but never got around to using it and am not sure where it is now.

I thought Saint Mary Beth looked kinda hot in the GIGGLY jacket. I think she needs to put on some red lipstick, tassel her hair into the “just been fucked” look, straddle a Harley…then go home and straddle Mark (her husband.) The jacket looks fairly decent on Shawnie Poo. My problem with the jacket is all the zippers. They are everywhere. My eyes don’t know where to focus. And like the previous poster said all of LR’s jackets look alike to me. Regarding the Previously TV slap in the face, I was also banned twice. I emailed them many times asking them why I was banned and I never got a reply. And as for the burka comment, I thought it was very funny. But I didn’t “like” it because I’m always on my iPhone and liking a post is a pain in the ass so I never went to the trouble to like any post. So I know that was not the reason I was banned. I have been pretty rough on LR so I suppose that was the reason. Who knows…who cares. I’m not going back. They have pissed me off. ---

Dayuum. Apparently it takes a village (of idiots) to get her together. I can’t stand Chaz. He is creepy and Wen sucks. ---

> [@stillownedbysetters](#): > > Hi Kloves. > > I, too, got swept up in the aftermath of Burkagate for ‘liking’ that particular post. Frankly, I thought it was funny as hell and the intent was not racist in any way. But as I learned in my years in HR, racism is in the eye of the beholder not in the intent of the originator. I had signed up 2 whole days before the broohaha and was completely clueless about why I was banned. I quietly went away and pouted for a while, then decided to try to return under a new name. And in that second persona, I tried very hard not to be inflammatory in any way. I still don’t understand what the latest kerfluffle was all about. I wasn’t one of the ones who got a slap on the hand, but I’m enough of a '60s kid that being ‘put down by the man’ makes the sap rise. It makes me want to grab a placard and protest something! lol (yup, old hippie chick here). > > As was pointed out to all we transgressors, it’s their party and they can cry if they want to. So while I intend to keep a presence there, it will be a pretty quiet one. I admit to a certain interest in finding out who will replace the former ‘top posters’. I’d bet dollars to doughnuts it will be the bitchers and whiners that caused the problem. Since I abhor skulkers and tattletales, that’s one cool kids table I DON’T want to sit at. Very well said. PS and by the way I wish this site had a “thumbs up” or a “like” button… I would be using it a lot.😃 ---

> [@stillownedbysetters](#): > > But hey, it could be worse. We could have a compulsion to eat toilet paper or our own toenails. Sweetie pie, that would be tame for this place. Case in point: Doper History Quiz: a. Which poster made a distastrous attempt to use toothpaste as a lubricant for masturbation? b. Which poster liked to stick a ladle where the sun don’t shine? c. Which poster was impregnated by “wonderful woman sperm?” Extra bonus points for pulling up the actual posts describing these events. Seriously, most of us around here subscribe to a philosophy of “if you don’t like it, don’t read it.” This thread is clearly labeled “shopping channel snark,” so anybody that disapproves of such things has gotten fair warning. The “if you don’t like it don’t read it” philosophy can fall apart if forums start getting clogged with too many threads on one thing or if the topic spills over into lots of other unrelated threads, but given that you’re from TWoP/PTV, I think you’re well-trained enough not to let that happen. And by “well-trained” I mean “utterly traumatized by jackbooted thugs that make the jackbooted thugs that run this place look like flower children.” ---

Poo Says Accessorize! I’m feeling adventurous today, I’ll see how long I can leave her on before she makes me want to whip my nearest accessory at my TV. Meanwhile, I just lugged a raw pork tenderloin the size of my leg into the house. All I can think of is what creepy shit Wheels would be saying if he were trying to sell it. I may need professional help. ---

All I can think of is what creepy shit Wheels would be saying if he were trying to sell it. I may need professional help. Quoting myself, I know…but I just realized we should perhaps explain to our new friends the Origins of Poo: Our Shawn [Killinger] earned her nickname of Poo after one of her sales pitches for one of our favorite Gifts of Spite called “Poo Pourri”. A bathroom spray product, rather obviously. She has a great many other nics, but this is just the Story of “Poo”. During said pitch, she happily told us viewers at home a lengthy story about how she had to shit up a storm at her house while a custom closet installer was there. Many details were shared, far beyond the limits of even “TMI”. Yet somehow, the story ended with that although she HAD said Poo Pourri product in her bathroom, she somehow failed to actually use it, and Mr. Closet Guy got a full face blast of the stench when she came out. If that wasn’t enough the icing on the shit cake was that she also named the company on air, which is a big no-no for Q hosts, as it’s considered free advertising for products not sold by the Q, natch. So it is our presumption that she got a nifty discount on her custom closets by letting that one “slip”. And that my friends, is the Story of “Poo”. One of the many reasons we “love” Our Shawn so. :dubious: ---

It is a revolutionary new idea. You somehow spill it in the shitter before you poop and it blocks aroma from escaping the water?! In the same ep as the Poo story, the product rep person mentioned that when people come over, she invites them in and then almost immediately gives them the rundown on PooPourri, what it is and how to use it. Makes you want to drop a huge one and not use her darn product in her house. ---
