- yeah, cats - pixitude Mar 13, 21:59 10
  - Can't say I blame her really - she's now trying to be all cute about begging - tapping my arm with her paw! -- nm - JenBro Mar 13, 22:03 9
    - I've used my crockpot more in the last couple of months than I had in years. - MojaveMeg Mar 13, 22:08 8
      - Oh I'm doing corned beef in mine this weekend! -- nm - JenBro Mar 13, 22:09 5
        
        A lot of the recipes I'm seeing call for a can of beer - sounds like a good idea :) -- nm - MojaveMeg Mar 13, 22:19 1
        
        Guiness of course -- nm - zeitgeist Mar 13, 23:01
        
        why do you hate your crockpot? -- nm - loosi Mar 13, 22:15 2
        
        LOL - strictly for reubens :) - JenBro Mar 13, 22:17 1
        
        I lied about reubens, I won't eat them. Only hot pastrami. -- nm - loosi Mar 13, 22:18
      - who are you people? -- nm - pixitude Mar 13, 22:08 1

For R: Here's the rest of the Jessica Simpson one (don't read amoxy!) - ralph wiggum Mar 13, 21:44 13
- Are they saying the BFF is a dude or a chick? -- nm - David Mar 13, 21:58 9
  - I think that was her hairdresser that she was so close to for a while. nm - ralph wiggum Mar 13, 22:02 7
    - That doesn't answer the question. -- nm - David Mar 13, 22:06 4
      - Heh. Sorry, I meant Ken Paves (dude). nm - ralph wiggum Mar 13, 22:08 3
        
        can you believe he's not straight? -- (link) - Reagen Mar 13, 22:09 2
        
        wow, weird to see her without a planet sized belly. -- nm - loosi Mar 13, 22:11 1
        
        Well it is almost two years ago. - Reagen Mar 13, 22:16
    - LOL - how in the world do you know this kinda crap? Hahahhahaha -- nm - JenBro Mar 13, 22:04 1
      - she's the Rain Man of celebrity gossip -- nm - pixitude Mar 13, 22:06
  - I'm assuming dude. -- nm - Reagen Mar 13, 21:59
- Holy. She's Cheryl from Archer. -- nm - Reagen Mar 13, 21:45 2
  - she has a pet ocelot? -- nm - znufrii Mar 13, 21:47 1
    - Well, unless she's pissing all over the damn carpet herself, dun. -- nm - Archer Mar 13, 21:54
I feel really dirty after reading this stuff - amoxy Mar 13, 21:40 10
- Especially when you think about the version from Remember the Titans - Trish Mar 13, 21:57
- The Amanda Bynes stuff from a while back is bad, too. - the wrong element, bad guy Mar 13, 21:45 8
  - Ricky! -- nm - pixitude Mar 13, 21:55
  - Yeah, Himmm has a lot of comments about Dan Schneider. nm - ralph wiggum Mar 13, 21:49 5
    - Of all the people on that show you'd expect to become a casting couch power player with tween actresses... nm - Dignan Mar 13, 21:52 4
      - OTOH, he looks like someone who'd have to force women to have sex with him. -- nm - Reagen Mar 13, 21:56 1
        
        like Monique -- nm - pixitude Mar 13, 21:57
      - I know. Ewwwwww. nm - ralph wiggum Mar 13, 21:54 1
        
        I mean, I'd expect Arvid to have a better shot. *Arvid.* nm - Dignan Mar 13, 21:55
  - is that why she quit Hollywood for a bit? -- nm - Reagen Mar 13, 21:46
And Will Smith is supposedly gay too, right? nm - Dignan Mar 13, 21:34 2
- Yes and Pinkett and him are notorious swingers. -- nm - David Mar 13, 21:37 1
  - yes, have heard that for years. -- nm - loosi Mar 13, 21:38
"Sarcastically, your boyfriend Mark Sanchez." -- nm - Reagen Mar 13, 21:34 1
- her dry persona is perfect for pulling that kind of thing off too -- nm - pixitude Mar 13, 21:35
So, have we discussed this yet? -- (link) - znufrii Mar 13, 21:33 21
- pay your damn loans, people. -- nm - loosi Mar 13, 21:38 20
  - with what? - pixitude Mar 13, 21:39 19
    - well, this particular bill applies to folks who have paid 10% of their income for 10 years, which is fair. - loosi Mar 13, 21:41 9
      - college is the new high school degree - pixitude Mar 13, 21:43 8
        
        I am not so sure, honestly. -- nm - loosi Mar 13, 21:44 7
        
        take your college degree(s) off your resume and go apply for some jobs -- nm - pixitude Mar 13, 21:44 6
        
        Better yet, look at the requirements for a lot of entry level jobs like receptionist or help desk helper. - Trish Mar 13, 21:52 2
        
        are you talking about the "job requirements" or what the job *actually* requires -- nm - znufrii Mar 13, 21:54 1
        
        I'm talking written job requirements. It's pretty commonsensical that a degree isn't required to do the job. - Trish Mar 13, 22:01
        
        I am not sure it has to be a premium, six figure degree. It depends. -- nm - loosi Mar 13, 21:45 2
        
        yeah. med school could pay that off, law school could if you're a reasonable lawyer, probably a reputable mba depending on your other experience - mafic Mar 13, 21:51 1
        
        for some careers, networking matters more than experience. but again, it depends. -- nm - loosi Mar 13, 21:59
    - which begs the question of why are you taking out so many student loans to pursue a career that is so poorly remunerative? - znufrii Mar 13, 21:40 8
      - professionals from med, law, business school are just as bad off, if not more - pixitude Mar 13, 21:42 6
        
        for the most part they at least have a decent shot. -- nm - loosi Mar 13, 21:43 5
        
        not really - pixitude Mar 13, 21:52 4
        
        This happened with computer science; they turned it into a business and lured people in who wanted a quick buck. - Beryllium Mar 13, 22:46 1
        
        oh, right, one caveat: Unless the solar flares or mayans or whatever reset global tech to the stone age. Then I'm screwed. -- nm - Beryllium Mar 13, 22:53
        
        "Me so litigious!" -- nm - Reagen Mar 13, 21:58
        
        yeah, I know, my dad told me a few years ago. That seems like a bad bet.; -- nm - loosi Mar 13, 21:57
      - at this point, is it worth it? I am thinking not. -- nm - loosi Mar 13, 21:42
"Either I'm drunk or your naked. Possibly both." --Bruenin, Whiterun's Town Drunk -- nm - Qale Mar 13, 21:33
Mandy Moore, Vanessa Hudgens and Bilson are the three I root for to never have tawdry blind items. -- nm - David Mar 13, 21:31 2
- Mandy Moore is my Hollywood wife. But I'll gladly send you some cell phone pictures of Hudgens. -- nm - Mop Mar 13, 22:00
- I think you may be disappointed on that middle one. - the wrong element, bad guy Mar 13, 21:40
Moral of the stories: Don't name your kid Hayden. nm - Dignan Mar 13, 21:31 5
- speaking of taking it back to 1983. -- nm - loosi Mar 13, 21:35
- or give any juicy gossip to ralph wiggum - pixitude Mar 13, 21:33 3
  - IKR? - JenBro Mar 13, 21:56 2
    - she's deceptively obscene -- nm - pixitude Mar 13, 21:58 1
      - Shakes head sadly ... I guess you just never know ... - JenBro Mar 13, 22:01
