[cleolinda]

I'm going ahead and posting early this morning, because... well.

George Carlin, Irreverent Comedian, Dies at 71.

I kind of thought that George Carlin would live on forever. Too mean to die, y'know. :(

Though the Scarlett Johansson Is A Clone! story did make me LOL. Is that why she can't act?

i love ten seconds ago the new millennium was inevitable.

somehow, i love money seems even worse to me. the promos give me hives.

[cleolinda]

Yeah, me too. Although I absolutely love the name of the show--it's so blatant that I keep expecting it to be a commercial for something else, like the Geico "Tiny House" ad.

I think this line everytime I see that ad

Ben Folds predicted this:
Kids today are getting old too fast
They get can't wait to grow up so they can kiss some ass
They get nostalgic 'bout the last ten years
Before the last ten years have passed.

This just ain't right.

Excuse me, 2008, but it's "celebrities die in threes" not "celebrities die by the handful." KNOCK IT OFF.

[franklanguage]

Yeah, well...they're going to keep dying, so you might as well bury your head in the sand.

[darth_snarky]

Well, duh, they'll keep dying--it's just that lately, they seem to be dying more often and closer together. And it's not like anything else on the news is any better. Floods? Food shortages? War? Economy in shambles? When even the celebrity fluff is consistently depressing, there's something massively wrong.

THE TRIANGLE IS NEVER WRONG.

Everything seemingly is spinning out of control. Thanks for confirming my general fear that the world is ending! (Yes, I am developing a phobia about 2012.) Man, I thought you only got this kind of scaremongering on TV news.

Oh, Jesus, I thought it was just me.
