The fruit salad comment referred to "apples and oranges." If you thought it meant anything else, shame on you. I assure you, it wasn't personal in any way. And it has nothing whatsoever to do what you perceive as my "case." Apples an oranges. Fruit salad. Sheesh. I'll PM you. No need to post anymore of this here, ya know? And I'm not celebrating over his death. Looks to me like that's what everyone else is doing.

I don't need to present anything. If you were curious, you could find it yourself. You're not. So, in your mind, case closed. That is your choice, and I have no problem with that, or your opinion. I just happen to prefer my own. Which includes the opinion that the life-long damage done to kids who are molested is no less of a crime than murder, and those who perpetrate it should not escape justice, just as murderers should not. Enjoy your fruit salad!

MJ was brought up on charges twice, by two different accusers. His first accuser was paid $15.3 million to "settle child molestation charges leveled against him," i.e., he paid to make them go away after the boy was accurately able to identify specific (and unusual) identifying marks on MJ's genitalia. He was charged again in 2003 by yet another young boy. The trial lasted 14 weeks. MJ did not testify at this trial. A 2003 search warrant of Neverland: "turned up porn galore--including books of photographs of nude women and boys--and many items related to the 13-year-old boy who accused

Thanks, but I'm watching the tribute to Farrah.

Maybe I should follow you out!

How many folks have multiple accusations of child molestation against them and never face any form of justice? If that number is high, or even if it's only one, is it OK because they were rich and/or talented? How many times does some child have to say "THAT man molested me" before someone puts "THAT man" someplace where he can't hurt children anymore? Are we sympathetic to the person who kills someone on their third or fourth DUI? Are we perhaps a little sympathetic because they had some "great talent"? And in three or four DUIs, they only killed one person? What about the seri

Meaning he paid $$$ for his freedom. Me either, Oscar.

Poor David Carradine. Not only did he die/ was apparently murdered while doing something kinky (with himself and not an adolescent boy, might I add?), but now he doesn't even count in Old Wives' Tales.

Well, depending on how you look at it then, MJ could be the beginning of the second 3 cycle.

Same here, but as I said, maybe that allows her family to give her memorial the dignity it deserves.

And so truthful in his lyrics! Here, here's the opening lines of his hit "Bad": Your butt is mine Gonna take you right Just show your face In broad daylight Im telling you On how I feel Gonna hurt your mind Dont shoot to kill Come on, Come on, Lay it on me all right...

What happens to the "theory" if another 80s icon dies tomorrow?

The GOOD news is--the media frenzy that will surround his death may give the press reprieve needed for Farrah Fawcett's family and friends to lay her to rest in peace and with the dignity HER memory deserves.

He's older than me, but I LOVED him also. Until...he wiped out any admiration I'd ever had for him when it came out that he was a pedophile, and he essentially lured little boys into his mansion and his bed. Sorry, that trumps talent in my mind. I hope, if it's true that he's dead, that he is able to RIP. And I hope his children aren't too damaged.

What? A TMZ report wasn't good enough? You don't get ALL of your important news from TMZ? (j/k ) The guy was a mentally disturbed child-molester. If Neverland had been down the street from any of you and he'd tried to seduce your sons with pet monkeys, merry-go-rounds, and closets-full of "costume pajamas" he wanted them to wear when they had "sleep-overs" where he slept in the bed with them, I doubt you'd be the least bit mournful of his passing. Just sayin'.

Ditto.

Oh, gosh-darn.

"Don't agree with his chosen lifestyle"? The man was a pedophile who enticed little children with expensive toys and such at his "castle" and essentially got away with it because of his money. It would matter to me if he could lay golden eggs and gave them away for the asking. It doesn't mitigate what he did or who his was, talented or not. JMHO.

I don't have any citrus.

I am your FB friend, and I have no pictures of my tongue posted. Hope that helps.

OK, I made the mistake last night of watching "Ratzilla" just before going to sleep. The were discussing giant, non-native rat invasions in the US, particularly the Gambian pouch rat in South Florida. These disease-ridden creatures grow to the size of small raccoons and eat anything and everything. Yuck. Raccoon-sized rats. Here's a link about them, and another link. Now, I didn't find anything current, so maybe they've gotten rid of them by now. Still...YUCK! We need giant rats like we need hissing cockroaches. What kind of "zilla" would give you bad dreams?

I have absolutely no problem believing that was the reason. As someone who also speaks Spanish, I can only imagine how their previous name was butchered. As far as their food--we have only eaten there a few times, but I LOVE their little soft chicken tacos. They are served on soft corn tortillas, the chicken is seasoned just right, and if you order them with chopped onion and cilantro and squeeze a little fresh lime on them, they are as good as any authentic Mexican taco I've had anywhere around Atlanta. Mmmm. Now I know what I'm having for lunch today.
