Turn your head and cough, please.

Better than the dreaded "Roll over on your side and bring your knees to your chest"...(accompanied by the snap of the exam glove being put on)

[Old Professer]

There you go again, mixing grapes and raisins.

[GOPJ]

Thanks for the ping.

No, they are not.

In addition, I am getting really sick of watching men pee in every movie too. What is it with these people that it is absolutely necessary to have a scene in the bathroom.

Don't you know they are just chomping at the bit to arrange for a scene with women in the john?

Now, just why am I supposed to enjoy watching men in the bathroom? Where is the romance, the intrigue? How come all of their plots have to have urinals in them?

What is PAX?

I do enjoy Turner Classic Movies. I enjoy watching movies where there are several story lines in one movie, where all the ends tie up as believeable. These were real stories to be remembered.

I use to enjoy weekly renting a movie. Yet, time after time, I had that "Yuck" feeling after seeing it, or I was left hanging as to why someone killed all those people, or there were great lapses in credibility of events, or I felt I had just wasted two hours.

Note - by the way - we rented "24" and thoroughly enjoyed watching all the shows. Great, great entertainment leaving you clicking the button to go on to the next show.
Best viewing since Lonesome Dove.

This is the wave of the future - exciting serial type shows that make you rush to see the next episode. Most fun to watch on video - so we are not watching the current season - will watch the tape of four shows weekly. Brings to mind the weekly serialized movies shown in long ago theaters.

I will bite. Men have niples because all fetuses were female to start with.

[Unassuaged]

So,chattel slavery was not the end, millions of deaths due to Socialism, ect, not either, but a bare breast is a sign of the end?

[lainde]

How tiresome! BTTT

[panaxanax]

"Men have nipples because all fetuses were female to start with."

Okay, if that's true then why don't I have a vagina? I just checked and didn't see anything that remotely resembles one.

[panaxanax]

"Men have nipples because all fetuses were female to start with."

That's creepy. Who's idea was it for us to all start out as girls? Why not begin as males?

I'm so confused!!

[Political Junkie Too]

You know, I saw that ER episode.

ER ran a repeat last week that showed an elderly black woman being brought into the ER with her granddaughter in tow. The doctors ripped open the woman's shirt, exposing her breasts, to attach probes while the girl was yelling "No! No!"

Since NBC has been announcing four "All New" ER episodes for the February sweeps, was this to be a second breast exposure of an elderly patient?

I suppose the default/base model needs to be able to reproduce.

[Political Junkie Too]

Well, I saw tonight's ER, and they pixilated the scene in question. In this episode, it was an elderly Haitian woman with Whooping Cough that they try to revive. NBC did a circular shot around the table while the doctors tried to revive the patient, and when they rotated to an exposed shot of the woman, they pixilated the naughty bits.

However, nobody said anything about the repeat episode last week that we saw with the other elderly woman and her young granddaughter. So, NBC made a big deal about editing out this week's scene while staying mum about last week's.
