I'm not letting you off that easy! I don't care how sick you are! Would Steve Canyon watch Oprah? Would John Wayne? Would Roger Ramjet? How about Major T. J. Kong or General Jack D. Ripper? NO!

All those in favor of Tom having to give up his MAN card say aye....

AYE!

[tom d. friedman]

[b29flteng]

Hee, hee, hee

[b29flteng]

Since you were only 1/2 listening, I'll take back 1/2 of what I said.

Hey Tom,

ear plugs may have helped in that situation.

At least you had something to post about on WIX.

Get well soon!

Well, look at it this way - she started out relatively poor, but she got her money, added to it, and kept it, unlike a lot of celebrities - I'd listen to her financial advisor before I'd listen to Ed McMahon's (although I'm grateful for his wartime service to our country - Oprah didn't join the Marines, although it might be fun to imagine her as a drill sergeant ).

Ouch! - hey, my man card is smoldering...

Who is 'Oprah'?

Who is 'Oprah'?

(Think carefully before answering...)

A person of the female persuasion who makes lots of money on daytime television here, talking about nothing but getting paid a lot. I've heard she can talk you into buying anything that you don't need. She is the most influential female of this or the last century. Females swoon whenever she is around and do stuff even goofy females normally don't do.

I have never watched or listened to her as I do not want my MAN card revoked (are you listening Tom?). I have heard these things through the grapevine so as to "know thine enemy".

My wife must be an anomoly.....she can't stand Oprah,Martha Stewart either.

She does watch food TV a lot though....Funny.....so do I when Giada is on

[JohnWayne]We don't think that's how you really know all that, son. Hand over your card and stop crying.[/JohnWayne]

BTW- Mrs JDK's response to Martha fans is a quote. "Life's to f*&$% short to stuff a snowpea."
