To cheer us up - silly things they're saying
MaineWriter:
So there is a news report (on the news report thread) that the masseuse who came to Heath's apartment thought the wisest thing to do, when she found him unresponsive, was to call Mary Kate Olsen...not once, but TWICE.
Yes, it is absurd. I can't even understand it.
But, a commenter on the article wrote this, which made me laugh:
I’m going to get a tattoo on my sternum that says Do not resuscitate. Call an Olsen Twin.
Ohmigod...

How can so many people be interested enough to do a google search to learn the fate of a man whose name they don't even know? It tells you something about ... well, I'm not sure what it tells you.

An idiot co-worker of mine did this yesterday - referred to him as Keith, I mean. And I've corrected her I don't know how many times about that in times past. She watches a lot of movies and is in the know about several actors, but she is always getting the titles of movies and names of actors not quite right. Usually, it's just comical to me, but after correcting her yesterday when she first mentioned it and then having her say something about "Keith Ledger" again this morning, I snapped "For God's sake, it's HEATH. Like Heathcliffe in Wuthering Heights. GET IT RIGHT, WOMAN!" (We're kind of friends, so I can be this way with her.) All she said was "I've never seen that movie."
::)
(I also overheard her saying to someone on the phone this morning, "I just wanted to make sure our ducks were all in line.")
::) ::)

I hope she was referring to some movie Heath was in, rather than Wuthering Heights. Who thinks of one of the greatest novels in the English language first and foremost as a movie?? (And if so did she mean the 1939 Laurence Olivier version or the 1970 Timothy Dalton version? ;) )

I love that, Barb! Your friend reminds me of my mom. Hard of hearing, she is famous in our family for having heard me say "Lord of the Rings" and processed it as "Bird of the Week." :laugh: Also, she always referred to Harry Potter as "Henry Porter." :)

My husband is like that too. But he did learn to say "Heath Ledger" correctly and consistently.
