Who have you had enough of ??

[green 6]

Oh, BOO!! What about the beloved Anne of Green Gables series! :eek: Kidding. Did you ever see Nothing Too Good For a Cowboy? It was on only one year but I did really enjoy that one. I wish they had that series on longer. Oh, and have you ever heard of the Designer Guys on HGTV? I was on the same plane as them once! haha, my brush with Canadian celebrities.

I gotta say that I never miss the Rick Mercer Report and that I kind of did enjoy that gay wedding series, a shallow Canadian reality show which was hosted by Scott Thompson and which aired shortly after same sex marriages were given a legislative blessing by the Canadian parliament. It is also true that I am a serious fan of Corner Gas, a corner where one can find a sweet yet amusing view of life. I also continue to hold out hope for Da Kink in My hair but I figure that the poor little Mosque on The Prairie oughta be blown up or, um, given some kind of sharper point.......:faint:Politically correct humour inevitably leaves everyone feeling dry and bored.

One of my favourite Canadian shows never did manage to make its way off cable land; I am referring to the splendidly twisted show, Puppets Who Kill. This show was a pretty fun time trip into weirdnessville and yet it managed to maintain some kind of a crazy sense of a moral centre.

And the truth is if you stay up late and happen to be loitering in Canuck teevee cable land you will be able to experience the most offensive and often the most interesting creative efforts of Canuck teevee. These experiences are going to be extremely weird but they are still not going to rival the quality of the work provided by the best of your cable channels. Such shows as The Sopranos, Six Feet Under, Dexter, Big Love,...are absolutely extraordinary! Green is a serious fan.

These are all adult shows, and the intent of such entertainments is that they engage and hold the interest of adults; this is why they discuss adult themes, and why they assume that there is an audience who is sufficiently sophisticated to get it, to find it interesting, and who will not freak out because neither the issues nor the language have been pitched in such a way that it will satisfy the lowest common denominator.

I often feel that it is only in cable land where adults get to pwn teevee.

Long reply from Green, eh.

As for Marie O, isn't she a hundred years old or something? Or close to my advanced age, eh? Well, in my opinion, she oughta win even if it is only in the senior's category.

Green, I think she is our age, give or take....But I keep wondering if she has had any plastic surgery because she looks great for an old broad. If she has had any, it is a very good job.

Scarey spice is a good dancer and I wonder if her boobs are real because if they aren't, she had a good boob job. I just hate the ones that look like flesh covered tea cups.

I gotta admit, I love Dancing with the Stars. It makes me feel like I am getting some vicarious exercise. Now if I could just get my fat ass up off of the couch and and hustle it around the living room for real.

Oooh, you lazy grrly grrl!!! I really enjoyed your post and found it lol, eh. As for the dancing rest, it seems that there are zed-list celebs and an array of us old chicks vicariously enjoying the dancing show; and, now that you have explained this show to me I think I am more likely to get it. And that is probably a good thing, eh? :eek:

And, duh!!!, I so don't get so many of the boob enhancement efforts. Picture the mild-mannered yet quietly vicious Green a grrl who sometimes finds herself while drifting around the internet confronted with a pair of angry and swollen veinous pair of tit-sacs. Oh, ugh, sez Green to herself while reading that the items on show are a D, a double D, an effing F, or even more. She finds 'em sad, creepy, and not at all chic, those gigantic angry swollen veinous jugs. There is chic and there is freak.

This is why I find breast enhancement efforts to be so inexplicable and so sad.

But who am I to talk? I have just paid serious coin in order to have my face lifted.

Oh if you want to see something seriously creepy, Wayne Newton is about to dance on the final show. He reminds me of the Holloween monster, you know the one from that movie with Jaimie Lee Curtis. Ewww, he is so ugly. Sends shivers down my spine.

There was a bit of a Canadian twist, Celine Dion was on and sung a song. Eh, as you say up North. When I say eh, it is kind of like a dismisive shrug

I am sure you look marvelous with your face lifted up a bit. I am too poor for any PS, so I will continue looking baggy. Maybe I will spring for some dermabrasion when I can't stand it anymore. Hubby likes older women so I am good for a few more years.

No, you're doing it wrong. You've got to say it like a question. Like, "How are you doing, eh?" Eh, question mark, eh, question mark.

[green 6]

Yeh, the Canadian "eh" is kinda like Valley Grrl upspeak done the Canadian Hoser way, eh?

(One of those Canadian Designer Guys has a very odd eyebrow....)

[ingyrob 1]

Is the Canadian eh! a bit like Australiaspeak where they raise the end of their sentences so that they sound like a question instead of a statement?

[lindata 1]

Ingy - yes, exactly. Think of a statement like, "It's cold out." Canadaspeak it's, "It's cold out, eh?" Statements turn into questions.

Green - Thank goodness I've found you! You're my little piece of home. Don't go anywhere. (sniff sniff - me homesick)

Now here in the States where I come from, "eh" is kinda like a "so what", "forget about it", "I don't care" kind of statement. Said with a shrug and a half disgusted smirk on your face.

Ya, Green is fatally cool eh?

On an earlier thread, sometime back, I kept ending my posts to green with "a" instead of "eh" thinking that someone would get the joke, but alas I think everyone just decided I couldn't get control of my left pinky, eh?

Marie is like 48 or something. Not quite 50, so she should she should still have some get up and go! She was always a beat or two behind the music (as it was) and I got the impression that it took her brain that long to figure out where her next step was supposed to be. Either that or she was having serious trouble schlepping her ample thighs (according to my plasma) up and over whatever they were supposed to be up and over. I like the fact that she kept her sense of humor but lawzee the drama, girl! Wow. Fainting, parent dying, son in rehab - could there be anymore reasons for giving her all the sympathy votes?

I was thrilled that Helio and Julianne won. I felt that Scary Spice had an unfair advantage because of her Spicy performing and coached background. Besides has there ever been a more perfect dancer or choreographer on the planet that Julianne? What a brilliant 19 year old. I fully expect to see her offered up a big movie or Broadway play next. As for Helio, I respect him because he was smart enough to listen to and trust Julianne completely.

No, I don't vote. I only dance vicariously through those wild and crazy totally maniacal ballroom dancers.

And whooeee, you described Wayne Newton to a tee! Whoever got hold of his puss must have been the same dude that butchered Kenny Rogers!

(Flesh covered teacups" snicker, hee hee. Some are like flesh covered mugs!!! Yeeeech!)

I heard on the radio today some speculation that Helio and Julianne might be an item. Seems like they have both broken off their engagements, wonder if there is any truth to that. Something about dancing that makes people want to get naked and dance.

I dunno why but I keep thinking that there might be a Baptist joke buried in all of this material. One with the punchline "but it might lead to dancing......." :heh: I guess I am being haunted by the ghosts of jokes past. :car: Weird, eh.

And, lindata, it sure is nice having anutha lucky Canucky around. :eek:

Well why do you think they are always dancing in those Viagra commercials????

[BJean 16]

Green I was thinking the same thing!The Baptist teenagers in our town were not allowed to go to our sock hops (for lack of a better term) even to just hang out.

Once one of the baseball players for the church team went there in his Baptist Baseball Team uniform (Christians for God, I think they were called) in an effort to find his girlfriend. The following Sunday morning, he and his parents were called to the front of the church and chastised severely. Sure made an impression on me. I couldn't imagine what all the hubbub was about. It was just dancing, for pete's sake!

I used to love to dance to popular music with a partner who could dance well and provided a good lead. There were a couple of guys in high school who were excellent and we moved around the floor like we were floating. Awesome. Then in college I took ballroom dancing which would have been fun if it hadn't been for the crazy teacher who carried a long cue stick to tap us on the shoulder or smack us in the middle of our backs. What a nut. I finally started cutting class and wound up with a "D" in ballroom dancing. Well deserved, I might add.

I'll never forget the first time I realized that dancing could be something more than just two people moving in sync to the beat of some wonderful music. I was shocked. It was with my husband on our third date on a dark dance floor with a live band at the officer's club in Ft. Lee, Virginia. I actually had impure thoughts. It was hot, hot, hot. There was an electricity generated between us that continues to this day. We're coming up on 35 years!!! Who knew the Baptists could be onto something?

Congratulations on your upcoming anniversary, BJean. My mate and I live common-law and so we date our anniversary from the first time we .....!:eyebrows:
