I love to star at Pippy's Cat -- nm - Bacon on the droid Jan 25, 11:09 2

okay, so I know i'm probably inviting some trouble here, but in reference to BWhatever and Mily Cyrus eating the ... - i'm not dead yet ! Jan 25, 10:49 32
- I can guess, but I'd rather hear it from someone who has a dog in this fight. - con_carne Jan 25, 11:14 2
  - She's a slut -- nm - Mike Vick with dog in fight Jan 25, 11:15 1
    - I didn't know you could be a slut for baked goods. Oh wait. -- nm - con_carne Jan 25, 11:19

- offs. -- nm - Dr.Vermin Jan 25, 10:59
- The Cyrus clan at this point is Miley and her handlers. It's pretty clear Billy Ray lost that fight years ago. - Will Hunting Jan 25, 10:58 19
  - i don't even think Miley is a bad kid, at all. She's 19. Imagine if every stupid thing you did at that age was photographed and shown out of context? - Andie Jan 25, 11:04 18
    - I think all these young stars get it too harsh. I think of how I partied in college, imagine how that would look on TV - MDH Jan 25, 11:10 8
      - but if you'd been a cele, would you have done it? -- nm - the amanda nones Jan 25, 11:16 7
        
        We also run into the idea that many creations of modern celebrity; where ending up in the Nat Enquirer is just as valid as ending up on Ent Tonight. - Will Hunting Jan 25, 11:25
        
        teenagers do NOT think clearly. - Andie Jan 25, 11:17 5
        
        Lessons often don't sink in unless they are learned emotionally. That's true of many people, not just the young. - con_carne Jan 25, 11:23 4
        
        right, but i am actually talking physical brain development. -- nm - Andie Jan 25, 11:25 3
        
        Ah. Given Miley's age right now, I had to assume that wasn't what you meant -- nm - con_carne Jan 25, 11:26 2
        
        the part of your brain that deals with consequences doesn't fully develop until you are about 25. -- nm - Andie Jan 25, 11:28 1
        
        No wonder I never have to buy condoms -- nm - CREEPY DUDE BINGO! Jan 25, 11:31
    - This case here, no...it's a teenager doing something teenager dumb. - Will Hunting Jan 25, 11:06
    - It was hot and I was hungry! -- nm - TWuG Jan 25, 11:05 7
      - i don't mean it's all innocent, i just mean, it's not exactly abnormal behaviour for people of that age what she's been doing. -- nm - Andie Jan 25, 11:06 6
        
        Sorry, not disagreeing with you, just quoting a movie. -- nm - TWuG Jan 25, 11:10
        
        ftr, i've never been a Miley fan (i HATE her stupid Party in the USA song). i just don't think she should be lumped with the Lindsays etc. - Andie Jan 25, 11:08 4
        
        Miley seems to be having normal teenage/early 20s college-esqe fun. Lohan is a wreck. - MDH Jan 25, 11:14 1
        
        I have the feeling if Miley did get arrested, it would be ONCE, and she would be doing double her service hours because she felt bad. -- nm - loosilu Jan 25, 11:16
        
        agreed. I haven't haerd of her doing anything actually dangerous. -- nm - loosilu Jan 25, 11:14
        
        Whimsically-designed pastry will be the death of us all, Andie. -- nm - Dr.Vermin Jan 25, 11:10
- Was she 18? If so, so what if she's eating a penis cake. Or a penis, for that matter. If I've done my job raising - TWuG Jan 25, 10:56
- Veryone I know would have taken a picture with that in HS. It's funny, and not a big deal at all. -- nm - MDH Jan 25, 10:53
- right, because you wouldn't have found that funny when you were 18. -- nm - Andie Jan 25, 10:51 2
  - i'm not sayin' it's not funny or nothing, i'm just saying this is about the last thing she needs to be photogged doing... - i'm not dead yet ! Jan 25, 10:52 1
    - i haven't seen the pics. but, i doubt SHE sent them out with a press release or something. -- nm - Andie Jan 25, 10:53
without looking, do you know what 42 - 39 - 56 means? -- nm - the amanda nones Jan 25, 10:48 12

Oh! Ceregon - a dog training question for you! Buddy, my brother's 6 year old new adopted Golden Retriever always is jealous of Mia - my brothers 10 - JenBro Jan 25, 10:43 10
- What's the hierarchy between the two dogs? If one is alpha and the other beta, then the alpha is just exercising its right to more petting. - ceregon Jan 25, 11:10 3
  - ok ... Mia's content to let Buddy hog the attention - but she will look a bit bummed - her brother dog that died last year was also a bit of an - JenBro Jan 25, 11:17 2
    - Aggressively doing sit/stay on Buddy is a good idea. also, when he noses in he's usually watching you - ceregon Jan 25, 11:21 1
      - Not to dispute you on this (because it's unclear), but there's a growing body of research that suggests that the whole alpha dog - pack animal - pmb Jan 25, 11:35
- Put him in a sit-stay, or a down-stay. Treat when he gets in position. If leaves it when you go to pet the other dog, put him back in it. Don't let - pmb Jan 25, 10:56 1
  - Thanks too ... I think my brother is working on his sit/stay/come stuff - 'cause he loves to bolt from the house when he sees an open door :( -- nm - JenBro Jan 25, 12:40

        i always thought those were acid flashbacks - encyclopedia pixie Jan 25, 10:56 4
        
        I might or might not get a headache after one of them. Totally depends. - Kim Pine Jan 25, 10:59 3
        
        serious question: If you get migraines that bad, have you tried botox? - decline Jan 25, 11:06 2
        
        I haven't. Would it also smooth out my forehead wrinkles? - Kim Pine Jan 25, 11:14 1

    - ever see Trainspotting? that's what the bathrooms wer elike. -- nm - loosilu Jan 25, 11:12

    - It really is an unknown evolutionary triumph. - Mel Profit Jan 25, 10:22

        Todd Time was the best - encyclopedia pixie Jan 25, 10:41 3
        
        :) it really was ... did you like it as much when Cindy no longer hosted it though? I didn't think it was nearly as good. -- nm - JenBro Jan 25, 10:47 2
        
        no, it stopped being House of Style when Cindy quit -- nm - encyclopedia pixie Jan 25, 10:49 1

- My Big Fat Greek Wedding, The Series! - MDH Jan 25, 10:05 2
  - IIRC, he was replaced in the series. Something about other commitments. One of his many failed endeavors. - Mop (196 lbs) Jan 25, 10:08 1
    - He was the male lead/sexual temptation in Sex and the City 2. He could work on any tv show he wanted. He doesn't want. -- nm - David Jan 25, 10:12
