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

Agreed with Jesse, but thanks Suzi!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

OK, phew. They found my reservation. Now I'm just pissed off they gave me an aisle seat and no chance to change it. I'm a frequent flyer! They know I like the window!! Ah well.

Now tagless for your comfort.

Look, a non-puzzle post!

Brooke Shields is on Paxil, not Prozac. Also, my own theory is this: Given the timing (Brook having her second child the same day in the same hospital as Katie having Suri, then the mysterious absence of the new baby and mother for MONTHS, then the announcement of a sincere apology from Tom, in person, to Brooke) makes me suspect that Katie may have suffered from PPD and Tom, realizing he was a giant fucktard, sought a little help from Brooke in dealing with the problem. Then Brooke was invited to the wedding (where she looked FABULOUS).

At least that is what happened in the perfect world in my head.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

Also, I am happy to take this obsession to IM with anyone.
Personally? It's easy to skim because of the whitefonting in all of the puzzle posts and it looks kinda pretty. Like Natter decided to go with an edgier look for a few days.

Also foamy brains are fun to watch.

I know my own heart and understand my fellow man. But I am made unlike anyone I have ever met. I dare to say I am like no one in the whole world. - Anne Lister

I like how you think, Cash. Though to have PPD, wouldn't Katie have had to actually give birth? hehehehehe

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

I think Brooke was invited because the kerfuffel gave both of them a publicity bounce... and why have one bounce when you can have two?

I have cheated. I found a completed puzzle. But, I'm using it sparingly, only when I'm at my most frustrated.

I'll send it to anyone who asks.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

I like watching all the puzzle enthusiasm.

What is even happening?

I have thought the same thing about Katie and PPD. I seriously doubt Katie got any meds, though, but maybe it gave Cruise a little understanding of why a person would take them, if that person were not morally opposed.

You really cannot overstate Scientology's or Cruise's opposition to psychiatry, particularly medication. It's like unto a (conservative to moderate) Christian's belief in the resurrection. To give Cruise his due though, I seem to recall he went to Brooke and apologized for his tirade, soon after he let it loose. I expect he invited her to help repair his broken image, and Brooke, as someone who spent way too much time in the spotlight, is just cool beans.

Now tagless for your comfort.

As with any other short term obsession--as soon as people finish the puzzle and/or get burned out on it, it will vanish completely. I know I can't keep up this kind of intensity on any one thing too long.
