Honestly, the festering pile of human garbage that is Madison Cawthorn looks good in women’s lingerie!

I do understand. I had my 25th surgery a few months ago.


Penis enlargement again? How many wives do you have to satisfy.. Enough is enough, you'll have to start wearing a codpiece in public. How many Mercedes for doctors have you personally paid for.

Saw another story on the microchip shortage preventing production of cars. Do you think if the phone makers stopped pushing people to buy new phones every year they don't really need, it might help reduce the shortage? I have a galaxy S7 which still works fine. Came out in 2016

The whole shortage I just do not get. If there are so many "other" customers why were the chip makers not expanding to fill that demand before? At least the whole thing is bringing some chip production onshore.

I cannot believe car prices. Average transaction now around $45,000.

I have no idea. My back surgery two years ago I was presented with a statement of estimated costs before the surgery and it was over $300k and that was only one night in the hospital.
At my age a Life In Prison sentence is not much of a deterrent.

The Johnny Depp trial is fascinating. Johnny Depp has a presence the leaps off the screen at you, imagine what it's like to meet him. It's a rare quality and people like him have so much of it that it comes across the screen. They say Marilyn Monroe had it, when she walked into a room conversation stopped. Her presence filled the room. Dagen McDowell said she went home after work and lay down on the couch to watch 20 minutes all the trial and 2 hours later she was still riveted to the screen. She couldn't take her eyes off Johnny Depp. He's doing a performance, and he's really really good at it. When he was talking about Hunter Thompson he went flawlessly into his Hunter Thompson impersonation because he played him in a movie. Usually if you name an actor I can name a couple movies that were in. I did that with Johnny Depp and came up with a dozen off the top of my head. And no two of them are the same except for the Pirates of the Caribbean. Edward Scissorhands, Gilbert Grape, 9 Gates, Platoon, Donnie Brasco, Sleepy Hollow, Finding Neverland, Willy Wonka, Corpse Bride, Sweeney Todd, Dark Shadows and so many more. Disney has offered him a pile of money about a mile high to do another Pirates movie but he's not going to do it. He's burnt out on the character. Matt Damon said he would never do another Bourne movie and he ended up doing it. So you never know..
