Sorry all – I’m heading to bed. I’ve had two days off since they were painting our office, and it took all the starch out of me not to have any deadlines, things to write, crises, fires to put out, or people to placate. Who knew relaxation would make you MORE tired? Talk to y’all soon! Sleep well!
Very sophisticated funny stuff!
Saw a good one the other day by Billy Wilder (was it called “Midnight”?). Great, witty lines done to a T by John Barrymore.
Thanks to everyone who participated in Vox Populi tonight. Once again, a thoughtful and fun time! And we came up with a new solution for alternate energy…liposuctionergy!
LOL!!! You know – it might really catch on! Never underestimate the capacity of Americans to overlook good taste in the pursuit of both cheap energy AND good looks. Not to mention an endless banquet. Hoo boy – I think we’re ON to something! Talk about renewable energy!
The thought of eternal suffering is a significant motivator for those who are strong in their religious beliefs. It is also conducive to those who push various religious doctrines on their congregants to keep them in line.

‘Night, C’lady!
Maybe you should work instead of sleep…then you might be more rested in the morning?
Night!
Good night, c’lady. Rest well. I’m off to bed, too. It’s after one a.m here and I’m starting to type Welsh. wynynddglendynnyd!
Woof Woof My dogs love the stuff
Seriously my kids are flipping out on this site…

Just tried it and “he” guessed Einstein. Bastard!
That was fucking outrageous!!
He guessed Betsy Ross!! How random is that???
Twilight Zone, Patsy…….
I tried it and “Jane Eyre” did not stump the Akinator!!
Ha HAH!!! Methuselah DID, however, stump the Akinator. YUSSSSS!
Nice job! Okay, I’m going to try again…will be back in a moment!
EDIT: I beat him with Preston Sturges!
Well YEAH! Amazed you even KNOW Preston Sturges! That’s pretty cool just in and of itself!
What’s cool is that you and others no him too! I like this Planet!
You’ll have to take my word for it that I didn’t google Preston Sturges, but I didn’t AND I know who he was. Take THAT Akinator!!
Very cool that you do! Big fan of his films, Sullivan’s Travels and Palm Beach Story in particular.
Very sophisticated funny stuff!

Midnight? Can’t believe I haven’t seen it but I will. Big Billy Wilder fan, two faves, Some Like it Hot and Sunset Blvd.
he directed one of my favorite movies– Sullivan’s Travels.
Cher, you and me both, I mentioned below that’s one of my all time favorites too! This is one amazing crowd at The Planet!
OOps– just read that, AdLib. And you’re right, we are amazing!
kes – you BEAT him! Wooo hooo!
I stumped him only because I was thinking of a friend so how could he have known? Said mother in law, then my mother – but nope. A friend.
That cool!!! He got it !!! Rumplestiltzkin!!!
The Akinator just guessed Holden Caulfield!!
EDIT: Now I’m gonna try Moe Howard…
That ratbasterd guessed Moe Howard.
He got Otis Campell on the 2nd try…
Now that’s obscure! I had to wiki it.
He got Aunt Bea on the second try too. At first he thought it was Alice from The Brady Bunch– so I can kinda see how.
He guessed Norm from Cheers first, that would only leave Otis…
Yeah– how many drunks are on sitcoms?
OK, I can now rest easy– stumped the Akinator with Auntie Mame.
YAY! Cher!
Just had to say that before signing off.
Thanks, Kes– I’m heading off to Nod too!
Well done. Here’s a badge. 😉
Can I opt out?? I can’t take the resentment! 🙂
Then try this Resentment Badge, here ya go!
OhFerChrissakes! There’s no end to the badges is there? It’s a catch 22! 😉
Oh, wait.. I bet the Akinator will never guess Yossarian!
Akinator guessed Yossarian. 🙁
I should have quit with Auntie Mame.
Goodnight– se y’all.
What a kewl site Patsy!! I stumped it with Anne Perry, author.

Total synergy. There could be KFC Liposuction clinics, you eat to load up on fat then lipo it out into a generator that powers that KFC.
And the circle continues…
The Law of Conservation of Energy and Matter. A living lab.
Isn’t this the Second Law of Thermodynamics? Or something?
Ack! I had no problems posting on the live chat and now I can’t post here!
