Listen, I'll be honest with you: I love Jesus, but I drink a little

Susan and I stumbled on to the Ellen Degeneres show last week. Actually quite amusing. May try to catch it more often.

One of the things she does is to call people: usually people who have called her 800 number and left a message. We were watching for a few minutes this evening and they played a short clip of this woman in Texas that Ellen called last week.

The video is freakin' hilarious. (http://ellen.warnerbros.com/galleries/videos/realpeople/?=gladys0119)

[MouseWife]

I caught that! Her reaction was honest, she really cracked up.

I love watching her show, just normally can't. :(

Wasn't there someone who worked on the show??? I'd love to go to a show........

[katiesue]

Oh my gosh that was so funny.

[Stan4dSteph]

That's awesome! Thanks.

[bewitched]

HeeHeeHee!

Did anyone else also watch the one where she prank calls little Mallory? :D

[Not Afraid]

Hehehehe. That's really funny!

[lindyhop]

I love Ellen, but I drink a little.


Just to thin my blood, you know.

[Gn2Dlnd]

Tears. Streaming down my face.

[Ghoulish Delight]

OMG, Gladys rules. What a great clip.

[Not Afraid]

I LOVE the Ladybugs!

[innerSpaceman]

Hahahahaha,

ok, source of my first signature in months!

[Snowflake]

Gladys, what a treasure, I hope Ellen does call again.
Ellen needs to travel to do a live interview, no question!

The prank call to Mallory was also hysterical.

Gladys almost made me do the unthinkable, go shopping at QVC

Laughing at old people is fun.

[innerSpaceman]

I think many old people have a certain turn-of-the-phrase that is distinctly humorous, and I believe most of them are aware of this talent.

[Alex]

As I said, laughing at old people is fun.

[innerSpaceman]

Sorry, Alex, but if I thought I was laughing at them, as opposed to with them, my own laughter would lack the requisite lightheardness that allows me to enjoy it.








Or maybe I'm just rationalizing.

[wendybeth]

Very funny, KB! I both laughed at and with Gladys. She was funny, and she knew it.

[Alex]

Sorry, Alex, but if I thought I was laughing at them, as opposed to with them,


I don't know what you were doing and wouldn't begin to presuppose.

But I was laughing at her, because laughing at old people is fun. That's why I was laughing before she said anything funny and it just seemed she was rambling like an old person with her story of the stupid local news people.

By the way, if there some reason I'm missing for you to put half a dozen blank lines and a period at the end of your posts?

[tracilicious]

That was fantastic!

[Kevy Baby]

By the way, if there some reason I'm missing for you [innerspaceman] to put half a dozen blank lines and a period at the end of your posts?I've been wondering the same thing myself.

Funny you should ask in the very thread that inspired me to one of my rare signatures (it may very well be gone tomorrow, with no replacement for months).

And that is - I don't like my signature to appear immediately below the text of my posts. Were it a graphic signature, that placement wouldn't be a problem. But text right up against text looks bad, imo.






So, I force some space with the most subtle character I could think of.


.

[Alex]

Ah.

If you put the blank lines at the beginning of the signature you wouldn't have to remember it (unless the short line is part of the problem, too) and it would go away from the post when you do away with the signature.

Not that I'm complaining either way, I was just curious.

[innerSpaceman]

Yeah, the line bugs me.


I generally don't like signatures, so it'll be a distraction to others for two weeks out of the year. I know the lack of signature makes me a message board weirdo, but that's that.



btw, where's your avatar, Alex?







(heheh, asks the man who changes his avatar three times a year).

[Kevy Baby]

btw, where's your avatar, Alex?Probably right next to his list of favorite smilies.

I will always like Alex for his post (on MP) listing the words that were blocked by the filter (this was a few years back).

[Cadaverous Pallor]

I didn't laugh until she said something funny, but then I laughed my ass off. If only Kevy hadn't blown the best punchline :rolleyes: :p

[Alex]

btw, where's your avatar, Alex?


Did you know there are options in the control panel to turn off avatars and signatures?

I did.

Did you know this makes for a much more visually pleasing display of threads?

I knew that too.

And as a bonus did you know, did you know you can set it so that 100 posts show per page?

That is good too.


Having 90% of threads on a single page with no distracting avatars or signatures makes reading flow smoothly. Thus your blank lines and a period looked even more odd since there is no signature after them.

In all my time on message boards I have only had an avatar once (for about a month and only because Lani asked me to) and don't recall ever have a signature. I do use one on LJ but there it serves a function unnecessary to me on message boards.

A dear friend of mine from college is a researcher there. I can hook you up if need be.

Alas, LSPoorEeyorick, has spoken!

LOL But I also thought someone here worked there. Or perhaps it was you who had posted that she runs a very nice 'ship' and there is no negativity allowed? I love that.

Well, someday I would love to go, thank you very much. :snap: :snap:

I would love it even more if some swanky people also went.....:D

Old people. My mom is old. What I get is that they just say and do whatever they damn well please. Unfortunately, I am learning from her.

I am not old {she says as she feels another birthday breathing down her neck}. It is not funny. I am trying to learn to smile and be quiet. :rolleyes:

[LSPoorEeyorick]

Yeah, it was me who posted that she keeps negativity outside of the office. And let me know if you (plural) want to attend. :)

[MouseWife]

Thank you!

How is taping?

I am off the end of March into April........

not that the 'you' of us all has to plan around me. :D

{and, if she ever, ever, ever is going to have Chris Cornell on, please let me know!!!!}:D :D

[Ruthie]

omgosh! LMHO!

[Kevy Baby]

I didn't laugh until she said something funny, but then I laughed my ass off. If only Kevy hadn't blown the best punchline :rolleyes: :pI'm sorry. I had to do something to catch your attention.

[RStar]

Soooo.....

Why does my IE crash when I try to play the video??

Stupid Microsoft! Arggg!! :mad:

I get an Application Error window that says

The Instruction at Ox67efxxx referenced memory at Ox16cxxxxx. The memory could not "read".

Note: I x'ed out the last nubers to protect my self in case I gave out critical info.

I just tried it with Firefox and got the same thing! It must be my computer or something.....

So anyone else get this while trying to open it up? Then under this is the IE encountered a problem and has to close bull**it box. And yes, I did upgrade to the new IE (probably a mistake).
