leave the poor woman alone, she's on the slimfast plan now! (oops Jenny Craig I mean)

Top Ten slogans for Jenny Craig now that they've hired Monica Lewinsky

10. Overweight? Get up off your knees and come see us.
9. Stop looking like fat white trash! Start looking like thin white trash!
8. Who cares about morality when you look good?
7. Our meals aren't hard to swallow.
6. Our choice of spokesperson is as tasteless as our food.
5. You'll look so good, all the married men you know will want to commit adultery.
4. We solemnly swear you'll lose weight...but it depends on your definition of "lose."
3. Monica says, "Mmm mmm," but that's usually all she can say.
2. Desiree Brown wanted too much money, so we had to hire Monica.
1. We got Monica to lose weight, and you all know that she'll eat ANYTHING.

here's another quote...

"You know, I used to think it was awful that life was so unfair. Then I thought, wouldn't it be much worse if life were fair, and all the terrible things that happen to us come because we actually deserve them? So, now I take great comfort in the general hostility and unfairness of the universe." -- Marcus to Franklin in Babylon 5:"A Late Delivery from Avalon"

For the ultimate in ignorant stupidity, I like 'Oh, I'd love to be as thin as them, but without all the flies and death' - Mariah Carey on the Ethiopians.

God Bless Mariah Carey, truly a woman who has absolutely no brain whatsoever, I mean she's been married three times, in each case to the head of her current record company, gosh, I can't see any pattern of sleeping her way to the top there whatsoever

Excuse me Eamo, if that is your real name.

)

I am right - I looked it up. He might have said what you said once.

SO GET YOUR FACTS RIGHT

you have just admitted it.

bubbles · 21-01-2000 05:14PM

no Eamo, you implied that my quote was all wrong and that your version was correct. However like I pointed out he used my one all the time, and yours once.

I never said he never said what you said, said fred eating bread in bed.

Get over it, I was right

El_Presidente · 21-01-2000 05:25PM

Asuka · 21-01-2000 05:27PM

Or the totally inaccurate version that Rimmer spouted : 'Stoke me a clipper, Ill be back for Christmas'
