Well, it's Sunday and the inconceivable is about to happen.  Next week
I'm going to find myself rooting for the 'Girls to beat the Forty-Whiners.
Gag.  That's like me rooting for the Falcons or Mr Ed's team.  I just
can't fathom it, but the Whiners must NOT be allowed to win their fifth
Super Bowl.  Sigh.  It's so sad, so desperate.
 
In the wake of this tragedy, it seems that SOD refuses to cancel my
subscription.  I've got to figure out how Spud did it.  Anyway, I got
my issue.  Between SOD and ET, I'd say Patsy is well and truly, well, how
shall I put this, not well.  She needs to take a good long rest with
some serious therapy.
 
And Razzie, what's the deal?  How come Amy Burkhard is listed as Days'
musical director?  What happened to Marty Davich??  If something happened
to him, it could explain their use of "Somebody to Love" for the MPD
storyline.
 
Camel is once again on the cover -- the back cover.  At least they included
the Surgeon General's warning.  She definitely is bad for MY health (go
ahead Ann -- fire away -- I deserve it).
 
But the piece d'resistance is on page 41.  Everybody on that page??  Now
I know why they have to fire SSH.  They can't afford a spell-checker.
This page includes a full page ad for the triangle between Rebecca, Drake
and Deidre.  What is "suceed"?  Are they leaving the union?  Are they not
quite successful?  Maybe TBTP at Days and NBC don't really care because the
storyline doesn't involve the CarpetBagger.  Sloppy.  Just like the show.
 
Speaking of the show:
We keep reading about all the new directions the show is going in.  In the
wake of this dismal football weekend, I started to ponder this claim.  I've
just got one thing to say -- NOT!!  Case in point:  Billy and Asstin Reed.
Is it me or are they carbon copies of Emilio and April Ramirez, siblings
from the wrong side of the tracks?  Asstin boxes and Emilio spent a lot
of time at the community center using the punching bag.  They give Asstin
Julio's talent (Michael Bays COULD actually play the piano).  Both of them
have a propensity for taking off their shirt (oh puhleaaze -- Drake is on
the same show -- they should give it up).  Emilio was involved with gangs.
Asstin is involved in gambling rings.  Neither one of them can get their
lines out.  Remember "DA RANG!!"?  We later learned that little Mrs Papayaya
couldn't stand it anymore and in an adrenalin fit, pushed Billy Huffsey
over the cliff prompting him to yell, "DOREEN!!".  So Papy, what will it
take to induce another adrenalin fit?  I've got the perfect target in
mind.
 
And just what is the difference between Lisa Howard and Lisa Rinna?  Same
first name, look the same, about the same amount of talent -- hmmmm, could
they be the same person?  Billie is a drug addict and April was -- drum
role please -- an alcoholic.  Both of them are equally convincing.  Billie's
father is a drug addict and -- ditto on the drum role -- April's father
was an alcoholic.  Both of them will be or were saved by the love of an
honest man.  April got Mike and Billie will get Bo.
 
As for the show's young ingenue, Emilio was after Jenn and Asstin is after
Carrie.  Do you folks really think there is ANYTHING even mildly new or
inventive about this garbage?  No way.  I might add that this storyline wasn't
even remotely successful the first time they tried it.  They might at least
pick one of their better storylines to recycle.  I guess their motto is
"If at first you don't succeed (Dan Quayle and Days/NBC should hire me),
try, try again, because damnit, they're going to get this mess whether they
like it or not."
 
And Guavacita, don't nag at me about Nick and April.  She sucked.  Period.
Even George Jenesky wasn't enough to save her.  He was better off alone or
better yet, with Eve.
 
BTW, Lisa Rinna is on a Bud Dry commercial.  She is horribly miscast.  She
should have played the bimbo beauty contestant.  Drug addict my eye!  She
looks and acts waaaaaaaaaaay too healthy.
 
Big B, there was no Forsythe case and there was only ONE bet.
 
Garlic, let me be the first to welcome another fragrant sister.  Now, let
me tell you about our devious sourpuss, and her sourpuss in-waiting...
 
Enough ranting (no comments, puckerpuss).  
 
Stinky -- in great distress over having to root for the 'Girls -- Peel
