Maybe famous people should choose another line of life, then.

That's kind of an oxymoron, "famous people" and "privacy." Heheh.

Oh, they deserve some ... as much as they can manage. But I don't have pity for any that get less than desired. Few people have fame thrust upon them; most work quite hard to achieve it. It should come as no suprise to them that privacy might be even harder to achieve.

It's one thing to say, "Well, odds are you were going to lose your privacy, sorry." Entirely another to say, "Hey, you've got no right to privacy, don't even try it."

I've nothing really much to add in regards to "Tabs" but I will say this about "Celebrity" is that there is a certain number in the mass population who really "get off" on celebrities and what they do, are, what they wear, eat, drink, drive, who they're sleeping with etc. and those are the lonley housewives that fork over the $$ - so there's a demand. I'm all for privicy but I'm sure if there wasn't the "oogle" factor it wouldn't be as bad. Plus with the internet, events are posted seconds after they happen and EVERYONE knows.

"Lemon Drop" is the phrase used here in Oz, too.

You're where I got it.

Why for the lemon drop?

innerSpaceman · 12-19-2007, 08:17 AM

Yes, what does that mean???

We were out to dinner at a local steakhouse tonight and ran into our friends and ex-neighbors, Lisa and Sheri. I asked them if I was a Lemon Drop and they laughed and said yes. Unfortunately I didn't think to ask them if they knew the term's origin.
