Marla is one of my favorites. She has more facets to her personality than really any of the others. She would be the last to go and is not a villain at all, just feisty. It seemed like "my bad" came out about ten years ago, (maybe more as "time flies"!) when Beverly Hills Cop came out. I think I remember Eddie Murphy saying "my bad". It definitely came from "The Hood". Slang has always started by the underworld or counterculture, and then those who are mainstream and conformist steal it. Just think of the word "cool". I mean, it almost definitely came from the anti-war "hippy" movement, and now generals in the Air Force and CEOs are using it. Next time I hear a general use it,(Oh like sure I'm going to be talking to a general!) I'm goint to ask him if he has any weed. Poor "Far Out"! It just never made it. It bit the dust, man. Two syllables. Way too much work! Looks like I've been ramblin. Bumber! My BAD.

Do they give Emmies for Best Smirking Actress of the Year? In that case Ronnie is a shoe-in. She smirks SO well! I think she must have been veledictorian at the Institute of Smirkology. Her ability to smirk is amazing. Her boyfriend is pretty good too. I have a keen sense for sarcasm too; like a bassett hound for blood. When he comes on the screen I immediately dim it and turn down the sound, lest I blow out blood vessels in this delicate organ of my brain. I think that smirking is like running. You can be a sprinter or a long distance runner. Yet this Derisive Duo defies that physiology. They show intense smirking that never peters(no disrepect to Jeromy) out!

Hey, we all came from a couple of people who "boomed" at least once, (and probably tried to "boom" a few more times unsuccessfully).

To caller #1(the << person). "Isn't it funny how often you talk about the girl being irresponsible", (she said indignantly). Gotcha! I think we all are like jockeys on horses vying for the "Most Indignant Position". We women are smaller and get beat on more, but hey, we do get the inside position for most indignant. Even I have spoken of women churning out babies, but seldom think of men churning out sperm. Then again I have thought about Rocky Horror Picture Show where women are churning out sperm?

Caller #2, (I dink it's de Clare) I missed that episode. I had subclinical high BP last year, but have severe fulminant BP this year. I never miss ANY episodes this year. I even take Lomotil several hours in advance so that I catch every word. I had sex education in HS and it was the only class I failed. I think THAT was a bad omen. JK(which in the ANALS of internet abbreviation means "just kidding". I really saved myself some time with those slick initials!). I actually did well in sex ed, and got a 99% on the final exam, but spelled basturd wrong. XQuuus me.

Maybe he,(she) is dyslexic and means, "I'm bad". If not, then bad my.
