Katurah....WHAT!.....WHY?

[GoCubsGo]

I don't hate Jake as much as I did.....

Don't think I'd want him representing me though.

[GoCubsGo]

LOL

All the lawyers were the big liars.

[O Really]

I was happy with the final. And I would have been happy if Austin won. Jake got about as many votes as he deserved, but I do understand them taking him along to the final three as a stooge. OTOH, some players have been helped by their willingness to compete against the strong.

Jake was doomed to me as soon as he opened his mouth. There's something about that south Boston voice that grates like a shrieking cat.

[Vrede too]

Sort of amazing that there's a whole class of comedians that live to almost or over 100.

I hadn't thought of that.

Carl Reiner 98
Norman Lear 101
Betty White 99
Mel Brooks 97 and counting
Dick Van Dyke 98 and counting
Bob Newhart 94 and counting

Jimmy Carter could crack a joke, 99 and counting.

"Laughter is the best medicine."

Bob Hope and George Burns hit 100 too.

Phyllis Diller 95

EDIT:
Carol Burnett, 90 and counting
Julie Andrews, Mary Poppins co-star, 88 and counting
Morey Amsterdam, DVD Show co-star, 87
Rose Marie, DVD Show co-star, 94
Mary Tyler Moore, DVD Show star, "just" 80 but could hardly leave her out

Dick Van Dyke: Forever Young on December 21.

Whoa, opening with George Costanza doing musical theater - Chitty Chitty Bang Bang - is a stunner.

EDIT:



TIL -
The DVD Show theme song had lyrics written by Morey Amsterdam, sung tonight without parody by Weird Al Yankovic
Mary Poppins was Julie Andrews' first film
It was said that DVD never had a dance lesson before Mary Poppins in 1964. However, he had starred and danced in the original production of Bye Bye Birdie on Broadway (1960–1963), so Either way, he did not dance until he was at least 35

Another funny guy:

CBS to Honor Dick Van Dyke With 98th Birthday Special in December

CBS is ringing in Dick Van Dyke‘s 98th birthday with an entertainment special honoring the legendary actor and performer.

“Dick Van Dyke 98 Years of Magic” will air Dec. 21 from 9 to 11 p.m. on the network, as well as stream live and on demand for Paramount+ With Showtime subscribers....

I watched a TV report about this, he still looks great! 100 looks to be a snap.

“I've retired so many times now it's getting to be a habit.”

ICYMI, rerun tonight 9:00 PM EST on CBS. It's excellent.

Fargo (TV series)

I just started it. Looks like it will be a good one. Juno is a riot in anything she does....

Seasons 1, 2 and 3 were all very good. 4, as much as I like Chris, disappointed.

I saw that the critics felt the same about 4. Not so 5, they like it.

Episode 7. Holy crap!

Spoiler:

Did she really go to Linda Camp or was it all a coma dream? I'm guessing the latter.

[GoCubsGo]

I was happy with the final.

Happy for her, sad for me.

'Survivor' Winner Parvati Comes Out As Queer & Announces She's Dating Mae Martin

As expected, some unnecessary hate in the comments. She was a great competitor, and the screen was always brighter when she was on it.

You're way cuter than comedian Mae Martin, but maybe you're not funnier. Parvati was with a guy for 7 years and they have a daughter, so maybe there's hope that she'll oscillate back.

Good luck. She is kinda Shallow, though.

I came out as straight but it was raining so I went back in.

My middle school principal from the 90’s owes me about a dozen detentions back. I was issued these for calling queers queer. Now they want to be called that.

Hi everyone, I’m heterosexual and believe in a male/female relationship. Since we’re all announcing our status.

Of course they are, it's the darling of the social media mongers these days? Can't get that clout without?

no one gives a flying duck

FYI, the 3rd emoji is the transgender flag.

HUGE day for Survivor sapphics

Thought I read somewhere that Mae Martin is transitioning, but I'm not sure I care enough to research it.

[Vrede too]

Thought I read somewhere that Mae Martin is transitioning, but I'm not sure I care enough to research it.

... Martin came out publicly as non-binary in 2021. Martin uses they/them pronouns. They have dated both men and women, stating in April 2021 that they are bisexual after previously resisting labelling their sexuality. In June 2021, Martin described themself as "a queer person". Martin shared that they had top surgery in late 2021. In December 2023 they announced their relationship on instagram with Survivor winner Parvati Shallow.

There you go, Parvati has not completely left our team. You still have hope

Probably best I don't count on it.

It's stunning. Just 2 episodes left

Spoiler:

Most predictable would be for Dot to kill the Sheriff. So, what unpredictable thing do you think may happen?

That's a good one.

Spoiler:

But I'm still not sure whether the Lindas were real or were just Dot's coma dream. In this last episode original Linda is shown sitting next to Dot in a moving car and then she just disappears Plus, original ( , great "debate"!) Sheriff Tillman admitted burying her.

I'm wondering how Minnesota Police Deputy Indira Olmstead, North Dakota Deputy Witt Farr, Deputy Gator Tillman (if even still alive), creepy Ole Munch, the FBI duo and Jennifer Jason Leigh all fit into the finality. One big gunfight? Nah, it'll be more clever than that.

Can be said here too, apparently it's confirmed. She's a good player but not a very good person, same can be said for Wendell obviously.
