1. Just me and my big bro so I can't relate to the bossy older sister thing.
Although, having a bossy older brother can be a pain at times, though, especially when he still tries to influence my decisions. Whenever that happens, I just stomp my feet, poke out my bottom lip and shout, "I'm an adult, damn it!"
To this day, he refers to me as his baby sister. I can't imagine why.

2. I think you now have attained the gravitas to take on and the pips, that little frosted cereal thingy and even maybe the mop that sings baby come back. I know you're champing at the bit to dig in with the heavy hitters like Billy Mays and tickle me elmo, but all in good time.

3. Just thought of something else.
I mean no disrespect to Madonna, but I credit Denise Matthews with introducing the lace gloves to MSM.
Big bro thought he had a chance with the beautiful one, but she belonged to Prince at the time.
B.B. (Ha!) also had fire and desire for Teena Marie, but she was Rick James' lovergirl.
Ah, the memories...

4. Sorry, I thought I was done, but then I read Clif's post. (This will be my last one for the evening, promise.)
That commercial with Mr. Mop cracks me up!! Mr. Mop getting thrown out of the house is too funny! Did he cheat?!
And will someone explain to me, please, why is it when men eff up they think they can just send flowers or candy grams?!
That poor woman may need to get a Restraining Order.

5. Clif,
Don't forget Madge--no, not the Kabbalah hugging hussy with an English accent--rather, Madge, the mischevious manicurist of Palmolive fame...dishwashing liquid? Ewww,/You're soaking in it.
btw: Billy Mays used to beat me up at the bus stop and steal my lunch money.

6. G.G.:
It floors me how it is always the Mop's fault.
What about her first two Mops that mysteriously kicked the bucket?
Okay, maybe the current Mr. Mop was sponging off her while he was between jobs, but his Future was looking Brite and it was no reason to kick him out. And I think her divorce attorney would find less toil and be able to do a top job on her behalf if she didn't invite the Swiffer dude(who looks an awful lot like A-Rod) to move in before the case goes to court.

7. John Giza, you've made so many good observations I'm having trouble absorbing them all at once. I'll need a minute to let it all soak in. :-)

8. I’d go into detail about how my older brother (mis)treated his younger sister (me) but it’s messy and I’d just wind up opening a big can of Mop & Glo worms…

John Giza at 12:52PM on Aug 23rd 2008
10. I understand, though. When someone has been put through the wringer like SGS, it is theraputic to cry over spilled milk occasionally. Some may bristle at that, but I say O Ceder...it makes your life easier.

ENDUST with this nonsense!
The fact is he Lemon Pledged to be faithful
to Mr. Clean but he has that Brasso Twinkle in his eye as he Pine Sols away for Dawn.

13. Thanks Andrea...
But I think we need to Resolve the Madonna (big twister) question before we can toss philosophical questions to Febreeze.
Now, if she was indeed a "material" girl, what material, I ask? Wash and wear? Dry clean only?
Oh, it just Dawned on me

14. Wow, one Cameo from the mop and Giza gives it his All. What Resolve. I feel clotheslined. This May Tag me as a Babo-ing idiot, but in the interest of Comet-ment, I Pledge to wring the tattletale gray out of this soap opera and everything that's in it.
...before I go to Glory.
