"Diddy received an early Christmas gift!" states Sean "Diddy" Combs' rep, Robert Zimmerman of Dan Klores Communications. "It gives us great joy to announce the arrival of Diddy's twin girls."
The girls were born this morning, with Diddy at the side of his girlfriend, Kim Porter. D'Lila Star Combs, named after Kim's grandmother, arrived at 7:56 a.m. weighing 5 pounds. Jessie James Combs - named after Sean's grandmother, Jessie Smalls - followed two minutes later and weighed 5 pounds, 4 ounces. The girls share their birthday with Diddy's mother, Janice.
I'm sure with a bit of time I could find something, but off the top of my head I cannot think of a cheesier, more ghetto thing to do than give your kids these names. Apparently he was leaning toward Ruby and Diamond; those would have been much better than the names he picked.

Pleading guilty to manslaughter in Pierre, S.D., in August was Mr. Austin First In Trouble, 19. And in Providence, R.I., in November, the teenager sentenced to life in prison for murder (where his life might rot away) is Mr. Phearin Rot. On the brighter side, a linebacker for South Sumter High School in Bushnell, Fla., had a good year: Yourhighness Morgan (whose brother Handsome Morgan and cousin Gorgeous Morgan were undoubtedly proud of him).

American Woman was a Guess Who song. The Guess Who are from the same redneck Canadian city from where those other two humourless Canadian witches hail.
Do cba and Trillian have old indoor furniture on their porch? A badly rusted 1965 Chevy Suburban partly disassembled in their back yards?
In Winnipeg, it would be rusting, non-working, kitchen appliances rather than indoor furniture (the 'Peg is mostly native land) and the car would have no windows and would be on cinder blocks (in the front yard rather than the back).
Hi lady red. I actually met The Guess Who without even knowing who they were. When I first came to Canada I worked in a hotel at a ski resort in the rockies and the band was staying there. I was doing a shift as a cashier in one of the restaurants and they came up to the register to pay their bill.
After they were gone one of the waitresses came over to me and said "Did you get their autographs" and I said who, the she said "Guess Who" and I said I can't guess who... It was kind of like that who's on first skit for a few minutes LOL!
I love the Ozarks, but there's no large city in the area that I would like to live in.
Springfield's not bad, considering it's the only actual city in the Ozarks (unless you count Tulsa, which I'm not sure is officially considered "Ozarks").
However, there are about 2 million zillion tiny little towns that are simply spectacular if you love the outdoors, fishing, gardening, etc. ;-)
and the car would have no windows and would be on cinder blocks
In the Ozarks, that's the front room. ;-)
LOL!!
I love The Guess Who, Fay, remember Runnin' Back to Saskatoon?. The only one I would recognize is Burton Cummings and only if he hasn't changed in 25 years :-)

Lenny Kravitz is your boyfriend just like Lucy Liu is my girlfriend.
And I saw her on TV recently, and even at just 38, she does not appear to be aging well.

It's just not in the cards at this point in my life, maybe the small town will eventual make sense once I've settled down.

Most memorable Guess Who song = "American Woman"
Once upon a time in my life it was a virtual hymn, due to scarcity of same.
Kill it. Kill it again...e.g. cut it in half. Mandibles remain a risk, so flush it too.
Spray copiously.
Hope it wasn't stuck in your butt or leg. If it was, be sure you got all of it out.
It's not that either. (My camera isn't very good for close-ups.) It has a hard shell (covering the wings) and a crisply-defined shape. And it only has six legs.

Hubby brought home some truly terrible looking Iraqi bedbugs when he came back from that hellhole. I shudder about them to this day.
Yes, that's the exact shape. But the surface is very different - it's not nearly as shiny and the "grain" is coarser, and it's green-brown instead of red-orange-brown.

OMG, that's almost the exact same conversation I had when I started dating my (future) husband! He said, "Guess Who's from Winnipeg," and I was like, I have no idea, please give me a hint.
I had heard of Bachman Turner Overdrive, though, because You Ain't Seen Nothin' Yet was very popular at every party I went to while I was at university.
I had one of those conversations with a nun I was working with after she recommended 'My Cleaning Service' when I asked who she knew in the area for cleaning services. Hilarity ensued. The only time on that project when she would have rapped my knuckles if she had a ruler.
Alexander Zivojinovich OC (b. August 27, 1953, Fernie, British Columbia), better known by his stage name Alex Lifeson, is a Canadian musician, best known as the guitarist of Rush. ("Lifeson" is a literal translation of the name "Zivojinovich", meaning "son of life".)
The son of Serbian immigrants, Nenad and Melka Zivojinovich
cba, when I read your post about BTO it made me think of a Christmas gift I gave my BIL 32 years ago.
It was BTO's Not Fragile which, as you said, everyone was wild about. Including me apparently, because I opened it and played it several times. Then I carefully put it back (plastic still on), wrapped it and gave it to him. He never mentioned it.
The other memory it brought back was that I listened to it in my "stereo chair", remember those, cba? Mine was white molded plastic with green cushions :-)

Or how about this, er, rather different '90s music - and yes, I like this one!
Admit it, your head's bobbing up and down on this one....
bigel, floranista is going to put the hurt on you for slandering Lenny. I just hope you realize that you done done it to yourself.
Admit it, your head's bobbing up and down on this one....
I admit it. I like the Miami song too.
I admit it. I like the Miami song too.
And the theme to Men in Black?
He's okay, but not my type. I like my men *clean*.
Plus, it would bother me if my man had more hair than I do.
Well, what if I said Harry Connick Jr. is a lousy singer?

Clean as in no tattoos, or sans dreadlocks? He got rid of the rasta look a few years later.
And the theme to Men in Black?
I like that too. I generally like Will Smith. I don't own any of his records, but I enjoy the songs when I hear them.
Lenny Kravitz is ugly, and Harry Connick Jr. can't sing to save his life!
I'm ready, locked and loaded....

Proof that I have GOT to stop reading In Touch: I like him less now that he seems to be friends with Tom Cruise.
Oh, he gone and done it...
Boy, you keep talkin like that and you ain't gon' make it to Final Holocaustmas.

Clean as in, "Take a damn shower and wear deoderant."

How DARE you mention HCJ's name in the same comment box with Lenny Kravitz!
Ptooey!
Hey, I pissed you off without once mentioning, Jews, anti-semitism, Europe, or nukes.....er, until now.....
What's more, I bet that DA father of his can sing better stoned and drunk than Junior can when perfectly sober....
What's DA?
District Attorney - his father is (or was) the DA in New Orleans.
There's no help for it. We're going to have to have him killed.

Well, technically Lenny is half-Jewish.

Er, good point -- as was his first wife, Lisa Bonet.

More ghetto would be Gucci and Mercedes.
Er, good point -- as was his first wife, Lisa Bonet.
Lisa Bonet has always irritated the holy hell out of me. I don't know why.
More ghetto would be Gucci and Mercedes.
I guess Rachel and Devorah were not under consideration as names?
More ghetto would be Gucci and Mercedes.
according to Freakonomics, there is an upswing in the name "Infiniti"
Lisa Bonet has always irritated the holy hell out of me. I don't know why.
Maybe it was that movie she did with Mickey Rourke?
Did you know that Mickey Rourke became an icon in France on par with Jerry Lewis?
Lisa Bonet has always irritated the holy hell out of me. I don't know why.
I only know her in Angel Heart. Where she's anything but.

Then you should LOVE this one:
News of the Weird
She must be naked.
And how.
Anyway, getting back to the video, you notice how Lenny was being very, uh, Hendrixish?
In terms of being a black hard rock artist with a predominantly white appeal, he IS probably the closest any black artist has come to Jimi.

I'm sure it was quite deliberate on Kravitz's part, and he'd probably admit it, too.

He did do a cover of 'American Woman'.
Wasn't that a Hendrix song?
Actually, The Guess Who.

Of course Hendrix may have covered it.
Well I suck at this game.
They haven't aged
as well as the Stones, LOL!
Fay, OMG!!!
Well, what if I said Harry Connick Jr. is a lousy singer?
I'd agree with you! I personally can't stand to even hear him speak let alone sing. And I don't think he's the least bit handsome.
Do cba and Trillian have old indoor furniture on their porch? A badly rusted 1965 Chevy Suburban partly disassembled in their back yards?
Porch couches rock!
In Winnipeg, it would be rusting, non-working, kitchen appliances rather than indoor furniture (the 'Peg is mostly native land) and the car would have no windows and would be on cinder blocks (in the front yard rather than the back).

florrie, that is much better. But I can't forget the dreads. I just can't.
Perez Hilton has been ragging on Elizabeth Hurley for being "too haggard", but I think she's aged fantastically and is amazingly sexy.
And speaking of gossip sites, I'm totally losing mytouch. I misidentified Victoria Beckham's boobs as Angelina Jolie's. Boob job, indeed.
Can anyone identify this icky creature?

It seems to be a variety of beetle, shaped like an indian arrowhead, with a green-brown color.

Hubby brought home some truly terrible looking Iraqi bedbugs when he came back from that hellhole. I shudder about them to this day.
They didn't look like that, though.

I've seen a number of them in my apartment over the last few weeks. I've seen them in the past, but just once every blue moon.

My previous comment is NOT on the "Yo Mama" thread.
G'night y'all.
Night RIP, have a good one.

Is BTO from Winnipeg, too? I love ain't seen nothin yet.
Randy Bachman and Fred Turner were in Guess Who. As I learned a few years into my sojourn here...
Bachman now has a weekly show on CBC Radio called Vinyl Tap. I am a sucker for bad puns, so I like that title a lot.
Interesting fact about Rush:
cba, when I read your post about BTO it made me think of a Christmas gift I gave my BIL 32 years ago.

OT: Frank...if you're still there, the History Channel program about Bolivia's "Death Road" is on....just started.
OH, thanks, papijoe - I saw it previously but I would love to see it again.
Er, aridog.
I can't seem to get the History Chanell or any of the upper channels.
Does anyone here have a Panasonic TV that's less than 10 years old, and if so, do you know where the cable settings - HRC, etc. are?
Is there a menu item that makes your tv scan all channels? That usually fixes that problem for me.
Hey, Frank!
Do you know where your goofy clip came from?
This one?:
'Cause I do.
Start watching at about 17:30 in. If you can stand it.
{hat tip: Ace of Spades}
Oh no... I watched that show about the second or third time I ever got stoned.
What channel, Lewis?
Uh ... huh? I don't understand the question.

Was that an SNL spoof?
Uh ... huh? I don't understand the question.
Oh, duh... I didn't scroll down to see that it was an internet video.
No. It's from the 1978 Star Wars Family Special (which I did actually see in 1978, though I didn't remember that part).
I believe that that's actually Harvey Korman under there.
At our office's Christmas party, they showed How The Grinch Stole Christmas. That was cool. :)
Well, didn't he?
Oh, duh... I didn't scroll down to see that it was an internet video.
I was referring to your link. I thought you were saying that it was going to be on TV, that's why I was asking what channel.
I don't like Lenny Kravitz. I'm not sure why.
