I know. I was referring to the first statement, i.e. Ally's semi-playful jealousy that made it seem as though she wanted to. And my mental close-mindedness currently does not discriminate between full-time careerists and part-time temps in this situation.

It's a personal flaw, yes. I am trying to work on it. :)

wait a minute Dee wasn't that you on the vegetarianism thread telling people to get off their high horse and stop telling other folks how to live?

(NB this is a friendly poke in the ribs is all, I do note that you've already qualified yr statement)

So my sister doesn't work at Hooters now. She took a new job.

At Frederick's of Hollywood.

For serious I'm not making this up. This girl wanted to be a nun for like the first 12 years of her life.

― Ally (mlescaut), Tuesday, 24 June 2003 02:05 (twenty years ago) link

Jeez Ally, your sister sounds much cooler than you.

Out of all of the women I've known, out of all the women I've discussed religion with, out of all the women I've discussed sex with -- and I started as a sexuality major, and ended up as a religion major -- every single one of them who wanted to be a nun ended up being into bdsm, and every single one of them who's into bdsm wanted to be a nun when she was younger (and that includes the non-Catholics).

"I wanna be a nun!" is the new "I like horses, they make me tingle!"

So now parents and parents-to-be know what to look for.

Her jobs are totally better. You're still not getting introduced to her, Jimmy.

― Ally (mlescaut), Tuesday, 24 June 2003 02:17 (twenty years ago) link

I have bad Frederick's of Hollywood memories. Being dragged their by two platonic friends, where they try to talk me into buying them lingerie (I was making entirely too much money at the time, they were broke).

I'm sure I looked like the biggest creep in the world.

This girl wanted to be a nun for like the first 12 years of her life.

Did she go to Catholic School, too? Wouldn't be surprised if she did. Somehow, half of my class actually wanted to enter the nunnery; the other half....ended up like me;>

If she's working for Frederick's, at least, she can get a discount on the underwear.

― Nichole Graham (Nichole Graham), Tuesday, 24 June 2003 17:56 (twenty years ago) link

wow, you and your sisters are pretty beyond belief, looks like ive found my new wallpaper!

― Bob Shaw (Bob Shaw), Tuesday, 24 June 2003 18:04 (twenty years ago) link

Well, no, Nick. We're not Catholic. It's kind of like that scene in Mermaids.

― Ally (mlescaut), Tuesday, 24 June 2003 18:07 (twenty years ago) link

Well, no, Nick. We're not Catholic. It's kind of like that scene in Mermaids.

Which scene? Or do you mean "being joined in tears and joyful dysfunction?" (meaning no disrespect, of course?)

[Aside: how did your Final go?]

― Nichole Graham (Nichole Graham), Tuesday, 24 June 2003 18:38 (twenty years ago) link

It's tonight, I can only take night classes because of work...

The scene is the one where Winona Ryder is praying and all dressed up in psuedo-nun gear and then Cher pops in and goes, "Charlotte. We're Jewish." That was me and my sister.

Except that puts me in the odd position of being Cher.

― Ally (mlescaut), Tuesday, 24 June 2003 18:41 (twenty years ago) link

Except that puts me in the odd position of being Cher.

Somehow, I can't see you being the model for plastic surgery....though on the plus side, you too can run in the rock and roll lifestyle.

[BTW: As I said, you'll do great tonight!]

― Nichole Graham (Nichole Graham), Tuesday, 24 June 2003 18:47 (twenty years ago) link

Also this means that you have/get (delete as applicable) to wear that outfit from the "If I Could Turn Back Time" video.

― Dan Perry (Dan Perry), Tuesday, 24 June 2003 18:55 (twenty years ago) link

Dude, I already bought that for the July 4th FAP, get with the program!

― Ally (mlescaut), Tuesday, 24 June 2003 19:01 (twenty years ago) link

he said "delete as appropriate", Columbia

― Millar (Millar), Tuesday, 24 June 2003 19:05 (twenty years ago) link

what I'm waiting for is the Fredericks of Hollywood air conditioner to catch fire

― M Matos (M Matos), Tuesday, 24 June 2003 19:09 (twenty years ago) link

Millar, that reply makes absolutely no sense. Turn off Lupin for fuck's sake.

― Ally (mlescaut), Tuesday, 24 June 2003 19:16 (twenty years ago) link

Thpppt

― Millar (Millar), Tuesday, 24 June 2003 19:17 (twenty years ago) link

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAH Is there a TV show more ludicrous than Lupin? (ans: Inuyasha)

― Dan Perry (Dan Perry), Tuesday, 24 June 2003 19:26 (twenty years ago) link

LUPIN IS THE SECOND BEST TV SHOW EVER BESIDES SEALAB!!! But Sealab is better. "Uh oh!" HAHAHAHAHAHAHA still slays me. Where is the disco bear??

I swear to god, the only thing I watch now is cartoons.

― Ally (mlescaut), Tuesday, 24 June 2003 19:30 (twenty years ago) link

I swear that disco bear Uh Oh episode is the finest moment in TV history

― Millar (Millar), Tuesday, 24 June 2003 19:53 (twenty years ago) link

I swear to god, the only thing I watch now is cartoons.

Thought I was the only one.....

― Nichole Graham (Nichole Graham), Tuesday, 24 June 2003 19:55 (twenty years ago) link

Saying that was the finest moment in TV history is selling it short; surely "Quinn's Vacation" is the greatest thing that's ever been created in any art form, ever. "Oh, he's with a hooker." "Uh oh!" *cue Disco Bear and Russians* "Da." "Da." "Da." "Da." "NYET!!!!"

― Ally (mlescaut), Tuesday, 24 June 2003 20:07 (twenty years ago) link

b-b-but "Wot!" by Captain Sensible!!!

― Millar (Millar), Tuesday, 24 June 2003 20:11 (twenty years ago) link

Quincy M.E. Classic or uber-classic that shits all over everything except maybe 24.

nope, yr forgetting quincy! these other shows are just pretenders.

― Bob Shaw (Bob Shaw), Tuesday, 24 June 2003 20:11 (twenty years ago) link

No we're not, honestly.

― Ally (mlescaut), Tuesday, 24 June 2003 20:18 (twenty years ago) link

Adult Swim owns, doesn't it? Hell, the only channels I gleefully watch these days are Cartoon Network, Fox and BBC America.

― Dan Perry (Dan Perry), Tuesday, 24 June 2003 20:30 (twenty years ago) link

Yeah, that covers pretty much everything you'd ever need, actually. Except for "Behind the Music that Sucks" which I find oddly compelling.

― Ally (mlescaut), Tuesday, 24 June 2003 20:31 (twenty years ago) link

Dan is way OTM, though I'd incl. TCM in there, too.

― Nichole Graham (Nichole Graham), Tuesday, 24 June 2003 20:32 (twenty years ago) link

Sometimes I get sucked into this Bravo vortex in which I watch Good Will Hunting 5 times in a row, I don't even really like that movie.

― Ally (mlescaut), Tuesday, 24 June 2003 20:33 (twenty years ago) link

Ooh, I forgot VH-1 Soul and VH-1 Classic.

― Dan Perry (Dan Perry), Tuesday, 24 June 2003 20:33 (twenty years ago) link

VH1 Classic plays "This Corrosion" more than Andrew Eldrich himself probably does, what is that about?

― Ally (mlescaut), Tuesday, 24 June 2003 20:34 (twenty years ago) link

hey now hey now now, he's with a hooker uh oh.

― teeny (teeny), Tuesday, 24 June 2003 20:37 (twenty years ago) link

Videos I've seen multiple times on VH-1 Classic that I've never seen anywhere else:

Fishbone - "Party At Ground Zero"
Front 242 - "Tragedy (For You)"
A Flock Of Seagulls - "Nightmares"
a Killing Joke video, can't remember which one

VH-1 Soul is also classic for this as they are obsessed with early Boyz II Men/New Edition/Jade/Something For The People/Troop/Jodeci/[insert New Jack Swing artist here]

― Dan Perry (Dan Perry), Tuesday, 24 June 2003 20:38 (twenty years ago) link

Yeah, I seen Killing Joke on VH1 classic too, I think they have a special hour programmed by Alex in NYC actually.

UH OH!!!

― Ally (mlescaut), Tuesday, 24 June 2003 20:40 (twenty years ago) link

VH1 Classic is the reason for digital cable, there are no others

― Millar (Millar), Tuesday, 24 June 2003 20:40 (twenty years ago) link

Her jobs are totally better. You're still not getting introduced to her, Jimmy.

i went to hooters in santa monica with 7 testosterone overloaded australian bruces.

― gareth (gareth), Wednesday, 25 June 2003 07:18 (twenty years ago) link

At least two of the words in that sentence are unnecessary duplication.

― Andrew Farrell (afarrell), Wednesday, 25 June 2003 08:27 (twenty years ago) link

Gareth, that sounds like the opening to a corny joke. How come you have all the fun?

― Ally (mlescaut), Wednesday, 25 June 2003 13:11 (twenty years ago) link

VH1 Classic = Freur, enough said.

― Chris V. (Chris V), Wednesday, 25 June 2003 13:26 (twenty years ago) link

Remember the girl on Tough Enough that was all "I love Jesus and want to bring glory to him through professional wrestling"? After she left the show, I met her working at Hooters in Roanoke, VA.

― Stuart (Stuart), Wednesday, 25 June 2003 14:27 (twenty years ago) link

"I love Jesus and want to bring glory to him through serving chicken wings to horny men while wearing booty shorts and a tight tight top."

― Dan Perry (Dan Perry), Wednesday, 25 June 2003 14:46 (twenty years ago) link

Hey, I was born in Roanoke, VA...

Ally, Fredericks of Hollywood sounds like a big improvement cuz they're all classy. Out of curiousity, would she have to model underwear if asked? I always wondered this about Victoria's Secret.

Sure, jm, you can meet my sisters. They're both close to 6' tall, live in Virginia, and have the last name Johnson. Good luck!

Haven't breasts always made men find God?

― miloauckerman (miloauckerman), Wednesday, 25 June 2003 20:46 (twenty years ago) link

Most men I know (both gay and straight) are fascinated with breasts.

― Dan Perry (Dan Perry), Wednesday, 25 June 2003 21:02 (twenty years ago) link

And why is that? A good section of you act like breasts are the second coming...

― Nichole Graham (Nichole Graham), Wednesday, 25 June 2003 21:24 (twenty years ago) link

I'm only just beginning to be fascinated w/them actually, and I'm 28. better late than never, I suppose

― M Matos (M Matos), Wednesday, 25 June 2003 21:26 (twenty years ago) link

which of the 1000 answers would you like us to start w/Nichole?
