The plow dude just came and i had to shovel at least a foot of snow from behind my car to get out.

I think you mean, Plow King, Lilty. Unless he has a jacket that says, "plow dude"

happy snow day Lilty! it is rarer in that mall world than anywhere else.

and for those that don't read Natter - Happy national Pie day

I think you mean, Plow King, Lilty.

Ooh. That sounds like it should be a participle. Plowking. What it could mean? "So me and Lilty, we went out plowking last night, didn't get back till 2. It was pretty wild."

This fellow was no King. I shall think of my Grandpa is the Plow King for always. (Also, he got a new job plowing the Turnpike. He got called in yesterday afternoon, and god knows when he'll get to go home.)

I think that picture of ED was taken at a very bad angle. I'm not sure anyone would look good in a picture taken at that angle. (Now 100s of you will link to pictures of people looking good at that angle.)

Also -- Trudy and GC -- did you guys see the bit of the GG's where Robin Williams was introducing his kids and he said that one of them was a "Hello Kitty" expert? (Or something like that.)

I often call Paul a Texan to watch his nose wrinkle.

He was born there (Beaumont/Port Arthur area), and lived there until he was three. He's also the only one in his family without even a hint of a SE Texas accent.

(The majority of the Marcontells in the world are in Texas, as the spelling is a regional variation from when some of them crossed the border between TX and LA and switched religions. However, the ex-Texan Marcontells don't really talk to the Texan Marcontells, on account of the ex-Texan Marcontells being considered ung-dly heathens by certain of the Texan Marcontells. No, I'm not kidding.)

Yeah, but the pictures of her at better angles haven't looked much better.

Yes. I've seen other pictures of her in that gown though, and it was a poor, poor choice for her.

She's not a kid. She's almost getting too old to make it big. She probably doesn't have another cheerleader movie in her, because they can find someone younger, easily. So far, she's best known for being sexy second banana on a cult hit, and the lead in a failed show. She needs to work what she has (and she's totally lovely and sexy and has a lot).

Plei, what religion change happened?

Plei, what religion change happened?

Catholic to Baptist, I think. I'd have to ask my FiL, though it happened in the 19th Century sometime. (I'm sure on the Catholic part-it's the other I'm blanking on.)

I know that the Texas side of the family pretty much lives up to almost all of the bad stereotypes re: the conservative Southern Christian, though I think that's partly a recent thing. (From what I hear tell from FiL, growing up, it was just a bunch of other Texas stereotypes that they lived up to.)
