Buffybot ,'Dirty Girls'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
I'd rather give birth than have a stomach flu or food poisoning, although I have quick deliveries.
I'd rather give birth than have the kind of back spasms I had back in May again, and I didn't have a quick delivery, nor an especially easy recovery. Nothing about childbirth and its aftermath made me weep with pain. Exhaustion, yes, but not pain. So the back spasms win.
It think it would be worse if they made the Fudge elf gay.
but he says the problem is that they are far more likely to cast an able-bodied person as someone with a disability than a disabled actor in a role which doesn't call for full mobility.
I remember that there was quite the kerfuffle back in the 80's with the character of Benny on LA Law. He was mentally challenged employee of the firm that had this great (but wierd) mentor relationship with Arnie Becker, the firm lothario. anyway, he was not mentally challenged and a disability group wanted them to recast the role with a metally challenged actor.
I'm thinking the Fudge Shoppe is more prestigious than Vienna Fingers.
well, that's certainly true. The only other Keebler product I could think of off of the top of my head that didnt' involved fudge was their Club Crackers. I had to look for the Vienna Fingers.
Oh! I'm glad you bolded Fudge, because I didn't realize that was the part getting on your nerves.
well, it's not really getting on my nerves per se. I just noticed, and wondered if I was being overly sensitive. But, we could start a smear campaign and let them buy us off with Fudge Stripes.
I think in my pain register of major events, stomach flu > back spasm that made me unable to sit > childbirth > wisdom tooth removal

Can I have the all chocolate EL Fudges, please?
It think it would be worse if they made the Fudge elf gay.
I suppose that's true too.
Can I have the all chocolate EL Fudges, please?
all you, babe.
I just had a Willow "Oh. OH!" moment when reading the gay comment.
I've seen me depressed, I would hate to see it on tv.
There was that one season of Buffy....
So, non-disabled actors playing disabled characters -- there's House and Carrie Weaver, and I'm never sure about deaf characters not played by Marlee Matlin....Go Robert David Hall, at any rate.
OH! And the cold front finally made it here!! YAYAYAY!
And one last thing -- my aunt's mother was supposed to be on the local news here tonight, but was not! Is there any chance I'll remember to watch again next week? I'm afraid not.
Las Vegas has a random guy in a wheelchair, he gets like a line per ep.
He's probably a ridiculously talented actor, I'd bet.

Raymond Burr played Ironside. Patty Duke played Helen Keller.
