[QUOTE=RickJay] She’s an actress. If you don’t know the difference between self-absorption and insanity, let me just say I’m very glad you aren’t a psychiatrist. [/QUOTE] And if you don’t know the difference between hyperbole and literality, let me just say i’m very glad you aren’t a teacher of reading comprehension. I hereby formally aver, for the humor-impaired and the terminally obtuse, that i never meant to suggest that Sharon Stone is literally insane or suffers from a specific mental illness as listed in DSM-IV or any other recognised manual of psychological and psychiatric disorders. Better? ---

I saw in the headlines something like, “Sharon Stone in Israel” and thought that the story was that they’d erected some kind of monument to Coma Sharon. But oh, how wrong I was. ---

[QUOTE=mhendo] And if you don’t know the difference between hyperbole and literality, let me just say i’m very glad you aren’t a teacher of reading comprehension. [/QUOTE] Dude, relax. You were quoting a comment that was directed at someone else. What’s funny about all this is that according to Sharon Stone herself, she’s a big time genius. Supposedly her IQ is 154. Uh huh. ---

[QUOTE=RickJay] Dude, relax. You were quoting a comment that was directed at someone else. [/quote] True enough. But as the OP, and the first person in this thread to describe her as “batshit insane,” i wanted to make clear that my use of such language was hyperbole. [QUOTE=RickJay] What’s funny about all this is that according to Sharon Stone herself, she’s a big time genius. Supposedly her IQ is 154. [/QUOTE] Well, to be fair, i think it’s completely possible. A high IQ is no guarantee that someone isn’t a self-absorbed attention whore who makes stupid public statements. ---

[QUOTE=mhendo] A high IQ is no guarantee that someone isn’t a self-absorbed attention whore who makes stupid public statements. [/QUOTE] I remember when she was dating Dwight Yoakam. In an interview, Yoakam talked about how intelligent she was (among other things). When they broke up, I read another interview where he was still saying nice things about her. Stone referred to him as a “dirt sandwich.” I’ve never forgiven her for that. Don’t diss Dwight. ---

ok, so if we make it “I came in my face”. Is that supposed to be sexual? It doesn’t make sense to me. ---

[QUOTE=mhendo] And when asked why she came, she said “I came in my faith,” leading Jon Stweart to express the hope that she doesn’t have a lisp. [/QUOTE] Weellll, not to sound insensitive, but she **did** have a stroke a while ago - and a lisp is a common lingering symptom. Ok, I did want to sound insensitive, but only about Ms. Stone, not about other stroke victims. ---
