You never know if a girl's gonna say 'yes', or if she's gonna laugh in your face and pull out your still-beating heart and crush it into the ground with her heel.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Geraldo's going to hell.

**********

Geraldo Rivera arrives in a Fox News truck. An elderly woman with blond hair grips his elbow. She's wearing thick dark glasses and a pink shirt. He carries her small white dog in his arms. He's wearing thigh-high waders unzipped to below his knees. We shake hands. "Her relative called one of our stations," Geraldo tells me, explaining how that call went to another station, and then another, and finally to him.

The woman had been stranded in her home for six days. Geraldo picked up the woman and her dog and brought them here. The woman looks frail on his arm, though not as bad perhaps as a lady collapsed on a chair nearby, unable to move. Or a woman in a wheelchair being lifted from the truck, carrying her prosthetic leg on her lap.

"That's the second time he brought her here," one of the doctors tells me, nodding toward Geraldo.

"What?"

"They did two takes. Geraldo made that poor woman walk from the Fox News van to the heliport twice. Both times carrying her dog."

"Are you serious?" I ask. He says he is.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

4 days away, 777 posts in Natter and only 1 in COMM. I think I made the correct choice to skip to the end.

It is taking longer that it should for my brain to get back into work mode. People are saying things and they don't seem to make sense to me.

ION, my arms and legs either reacted to something yesterday or I've developed an allergy to heat. itchy, welty, red patches over all limbs that calms down when cool and flares up when hot, regardless of sun contact.

Now tagless for your comfort.

Geraldo's going to hell.

Special Hell. NOT the good kind of Special Hell.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

He still looks smooth and perfect to me in that picture, and that the "roughness" is for effect.

He's too small, hairy and often skinny to be perfect for me. Now, that doesn't mean he isn't terribly terribly hot. Just not perfect.

Far be it from me to try and convince anyone to find someone hot (does that ever work?) -- just positing that Remington/Crowne/Bond is how his public likes him, and may have nothing to do with him or his potential.

What is even happening?

I no longer pretend to understand.

That was re G*raldo, not ita's take on Pierce.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

In watching the special features for The Tailor of Panama I realized: Brosnan is dumber than a box of hair. I haven't been able to find him attractive since.

Brosnan is dumber than a box of hair.

A box of perfectly coiffed hair.

This also makes me think of the above-linked picture. It could be a big box.

Ann, that's a ferret.

4 days away, 777 posts in Natter and only 1 in COMM. I think I made the correct choice to skip to the end.

I didn't skip, though I skimmed some.

For those who did skip, this quick recap of Natter:

New Orleans flooded! Recovery efforts -- WTF??!?!?!?!!!?!?!?!? Heads must roll!

If I only had a brain...

God, I need a nap. And yes, I know it was a three-day weekend; I took naps every day, too. And I needed them.

zzzzzz.
