Is the Peabody that place with an indoor river and practically a small town? Because I think he's been there, though not for a conference. Though that may have been a place Nashville....

That's the Opryland Hotel in Nashville.

So weird that the Peabody in Memphis just came up. My sister is pushing to go there for New Years. I'd never heard of it before yesterday.

Your sister will need nostril enlargements for how much she'll be paying through the nose. Not to mention a good Queen Elizabeth impression to get a reservation for New Year's in November.

Probably the swankiest hotel I've stayed at was the Hollywood Roosevelt, thought the highest price I've paid was for that suite in the Tabard Inn at the 2004 f2f. But the ghost at the Roosevelt trumps the clawfoot tub at the Tabard as far as amenities are concerned.

And don't think I don't roll my eyes at the bitter irony that the years when I had the best body of my life, I was wearing HUGE men's flannel shirts and baggy, ripped jeans.

Based on the last two proms, I don't think you need to be lamenting the loss of your figure just yet.

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

Ovulating or not, Jamie Lee looks really good.

A friend was telling me about an easter egg (har) that he found in a calendar program--you could put in your SO's cycle and it would give you warnings when PMS was on the horizon.

Hmmph.

Menfolk.

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift

I'm still debating the cowboy hat, though.

Choose cowboy hat! You look amazing in one.

I have to agree with the fug girls that she looks great with grey hair.

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

Short grey hair! Plus, of course, two of the best breasts ever shown off in a mainstream comedy by a lead actress.

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

Holli's turning 21?

So we can say anything in front of her now. Huh. Weird.

She's like the pre-Salma.

Okay, weird. Emphasis mine...

Michael Jackson returned to the stage at a star-studded World Music Awards in London last night, but only managed to sing a few lines of his hit "We Are The World." Jackson was at the event to collect a Diamond Award for selling more than 100 million albums. But what was billed as a spectacular comeback for the world's biggest star fell flat. Fans outside the Earls Court venue were left fuming when Jackson failed to greet them and then revealed he wouldn't be performing - despite reports he would sing live in the British capital for the first time in nine years. Inside, the arena was only half full. The superstar did make it onstage to join a gospel choir performance of the 1985 song he co-wrote with Lionel Richie - but he barely uttered a line. Jackson was presented the Diamond Award by Beyonce Knowles and also a Guinness World Record for Thriller, the biggest selling album of all time. During an emotional speech, Jackson thanked his friends, family and fans. He said, "I'm greatly humbled by this award. It was my dream that thriller would become the biggest selling album ever. I thank God and you for it's success. There have been so many who have loved and stood by me for the 25 years I have been in the entertainment industry. I'd like to thank my children particularly. Paris, Prince Michael and Blanket (Prince Michael II) for their unconditional love. I love all my fans from the bottom of my heart."

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?

I've been to the Peabody. With Matt the Bruins Fan.
