Well, it's hard to type because I'm laughing so hard milk came out my nose. But look at the bright side, old girl. At least you're not Owen Wilson. Right now, as we speak (6:50 on Thursday) Dr. Phil is counseling the man he's never met on Entertainment Tonight. Really, Doc, hasn't Owen suffered enough?

PS Gotta go. I have to see if the VCR still works so I can tape Biography on Saturday.
Your listings are hilarious. And disturbing. :-)
Anonymous, I thought I was the only one who thought it strange that Dr. Phil has such a penchant for advising complete strangers from a distance.
But, in reality, as a society we do it all of the time. Who hasn't told their friends what Paris, Nicole, or Britney NEED, despite the fact that we haven't met them. I guess it's just that we'd like to think that an actual Dr. would know better. :-)
LMAO...that is some funny stuff right there!! I Love Your Blog:) As soon as my blog stops acting up, Im gonna link you to my site. You go GIRL!!!!
