My wife spent time with her on an aids walk, says she is extremely nice and one of the most naturally beautiful people she has met.
That is saying a lot, I was a professional actor and also a bouncer/security for a prominent club and worked with a lot of very famous people in the acting and music industries... too many to name.
One thing, NEVER believe ANYTHING you read about ANYONE. 70% is an outright lie and 100% is skewed and fucked-up as far as facts and context is concerned to make someone look bad, worse or better, no exceptions.
Who is really an ass and who are really the sweet kind people who honestly do charity work anonymously would blow your mind.

As a corollary to what RK has said, here, I have noticed - for my whole life - that any occurance about which I had personal knowledge or seen as a witness that later ended up in print or on TV had *some* incorrect data contained therein. Seriously...every single time.

Happy Monkey · 10-19-2006, 01:40 PM

Definitely.

Back in the late 70's, the then ArchBishop of Canterbury observed that he no longer read the daily papers because 'without exception, they are all incapable of reporting the facts correctly'

30 years on, and so what has changed?

I like to watch, but I'm mad as hell, and I can't take it anymore.

Interesting how you've picked two of my favorite films commenting on the human condition. In fact, "Network" is a major bone of contention between Mrs Elspode and, as she cannot manage to stay awake to watch the whole thing. She does enjoy "Being There", though.

My ex-wife actually got up and went to bed in the middle of Waking Life.

Many years ago when the world was in black and white I had a job in one of the local venues as a general gofer and used to help out when bands played, my friend at the time was an electrician and he had to check out the bands equipment,amps and such like to make sure none of the artists fried themselves on stage got me the job.
I was asked to take a tray of sandwiches and coffee/beer etc etc to a little known band at the time that was playing "Siousie and the Banshees" so I kicked the dressing room door open as my hands were full only to get a full frontal of the said Siouxsie standing there as naked as the day she was born getting changed into her stage outfit..Cue one porky pig impersonation as I stuttered to ask where to put the tray..
We also went out and got completely pissed with Stiv bantors of the Dead Boys before their gig he was a really nice guy from what i remember shame he didn't make it.

When I was in 6th grade I met Ewell Gibbons. He was on a yacht docked in Annapolis Harbor when I was there on a class trip.

Grape Nuts is my favorite breakfast cereal. This was BIG, people, BIG.

Why do I envy your brush with greatness so much more than any of the others so far?

wolf · 10-22-2006, 07:31 PM

Because wild hickory nuts can be delicious.
