One Dad at a Time -- Celebrity Sex Scandals
Rickey, my point is, she may not have had sex with him at all. She's admitted to having a needle in her arm for the last 30 years of her life. Who knows what is real and what isn't with her. Fish...I'm not trying to be offensive. Sure, a bit funny, but ONLY BECAUSE you are not stating HOW you think this all went down. You're just saying you believe it. So please, explain to me how this incestiou relationship happened. Because, one moment she's horrified by the rape of her father. The next, she's having a 10-year affair. And ONLY when she becomes pregnant does she "realize" this is wrong. And IF...and that's a big if...if it's all true, she should be seeing a pyschiatrist right now, possibly in a mental institution, trying to deal with that insane past. Not out doing the talk shows, promoting the new book. Wouldn't you agree?— September 25, 2009 9:52 a.m.
One Dad at a Time -- Celebrity Sex Scandals
Okay, first...I'll address Rickey. Chynna saying that adds a lot of credibility to the allegation. But John Phillips wife at the time, and all previous wives, saying they don't believe it...means a lot, too. Wouldn't you agree? What reason do they have to defend him? Yes, I believe he was probably a rotten father. I'm just saying the story doesn't sound accurate. Mackenzie seems like too much of a wild card at this point to be believed about these things. Fish: you're telling me incest is "not at all rare". Please, explain that. I'm guessing less than 1% of the population engages in incest. Do you think the percentage is higher? And if so, what would you say the number is? So...if you think it's around 1%, I'd say that certainly qualifies as "rare". I admit up front, that I'm "uninformed" on the topic, so calling me out on that means nothing. How about you bring some facts, or at least your thoughts on incest or this case, to the table. I've never said, or implied, that Mackenzie was a "slut". I think she was a druggie (a charge I'm doubting you or anyone will disagree with). What I'm saying is...if she was "raped" as she claimed, I'm guessing it's RARE (again, I'm using that word), for someone raped to than want to continue on in a relationship with the person that raped them. I'm guessing that happens about 0% of the time. Do you agree, or disagree, with that stat? Or would you say that some women that get raped, do decide to enter into relationships with the man that committed the rape (whether or not it's their father). Now, you're turn to engage your brain, and tell us your theories on all this, instead of acting like I'm some insensitive person on the matter. Because, I have all the sympathy in the world for a child that is molested. I have a harder time having sympathy for a 19-year-old that is raped, and DOES NOT REPORT the rapist (who can than continue to rape or molest others). And even less sympathy when they continue a relationship with them. And the sympathy turns to disbelief, when the person dies and they want to sell a book, and it's the first we hear of it all.— September 25, 2009 1:50 a.m.
This. And That.
Listen, I hate defending the Chargers. They do so much that annoy me. And I hate the fans getting mad at someone other fans or taunting that other teams do, but then try to make excuses for Merriman and his dance, or Seau when he did his goofy lightning bolt after a routine tackle. I agree, but fans are like that with their teams in each city. And, to say the Chargers have no history, let me give you this off the top of my head: Johnny Unitas QB in his last year (arguably the best QB of all-time). Dan Fouts, Hall of Famer. Air Coryell (a coach that should be in the Hall of Fame). Kellen Winslow, John Jefferson, Chuck Muncie, Natrone Means, Louie Kelcher, Little Train James...Lance Alworth (one of the best receivers of all-time). Sure, there's no Super Bowl win there (and the year the 49ers embarassed them in the Super Bowl, they weren't even the 4th best team in football)...but there's certainly some football history to be proud of.— September 25, 2009 1:42 a.m.
Mutt Mixer
Yeah, someone corrected the band name earlier in these replies. Thanks for the clarification. I'm not so into jazz/funk, but I'll try to catch them sometime.— September 25, 2009 1:36 a.m.
That Fish Smell
My liberal lawyer friend is from Seattle, and she told me that PETA is now complaining about that market where they toss all the fish (you know the spot...a touristy place now that's always shown when they show clips of Seattle, right before the usual clip of the Space Needle). I've found that CityBeat is the perfect publication for wrapping fish. But, I was wondering. I got backstage at a Yes concert at Humphrey's. Their bass player Chris Squier is nicknamed "fish". Which is kind of a weird nickname. Now, The Who's late bassist was nicknamed "The Ox". A slightly better nickname, but not by much. And of course, there's "Flea" of the Chili Peppers. We should ask Matthew Alice why bassists get saddled with the worst nicknames (Sting is even stupid, but at least it's not an animal or bug). I gotta figure out if Country Joe and the Fish, the band that played Woodstock and had the famous Vietnam song, had their bassist with that nickname. I know someone in that band was the actual fish. Just not sure which one.— September 25, 2009 1:31 a.m.
None
You know what I remember thinking at my high school reunions? Everyone wants to impress everyone else with their job titles. It's weird. You'd think it's all about adults just getting together remembering the good times...that teacher that got drunk once, the time a football player streaked during the baseball game, stuff like that. Instead, the first half of it is all about impressing others with your job status. And I realized, if a man was a stay-at-home dad, it would not look good to most people. Yet a woman could say she stays home and raises her two kids, and nobody would bat an eye.— September 25, 2009 1:24 a.m.
Going to the Chapel
Oh, that mother is the biggest dope of all time. I've seen her pit the various daughters against one another. She's one evil, dumb, b***h.— September 25, 2009 1:18 a.m.
Fun Football Stories
Oh geez, man, do not get me started on that. It's one of my pet peeves about football today. Mostly when it comes to refs protecting the quarterbacks. It's gotten so ridiculous. If they don't want to get hit, then they should get rid of the ball earlier. And, with all these QBs running now, and doing different pump fakes and crap, they have to be ready to hit the QB UNTIL THE BALL is about three feet out of their hand (you can't just stomp momentum on a huge linebacker coming at you full speed). On a side note: I've never seen a stupider move than Favre, who hands off the ball and then pretends he still has it. I've been watching him do that for years, and it fakes out absolutely no one. He just looks like a goof ball doing it.— September 25, 2009 1:17 a.m.
C is for Cookie
Thanks, Pike. I'll give it a try, and report back. Is Moxie also located in town?— September 25, 2009 1:14 a.m.
C is for Cookie
It's funny that there are some cookies and candies that were regional. On Conan O'Briens old show, he did this bit with this meek little guy named Piere Bernard that works on his show. It was called "Recliner of Rage" and he would rant about something. One time, it was about not being able to get mallomars during certain times of the year. I've never had one, but heard they don't make them during the summer months because they'd melt during shipping or some such thing.— September 24, 2009 6:50 p.m.
