So I guess the "Psychic Twins" are the latest hot frauds to make it into the mainstream. I caught the tail portion of their interview on the View today. I'm sure they were pushing their after-the-fact revised predictions, but this was the most laugh worthy thing they said.

Someone asked them if they could predict lottery numbers and they responded, and I'm sure I'm paraphrasing: "We can't use it for personal gain. If we did, we would lose our gift." ........so, what would you call getting paid to be on TV shows, write books and put out CDs? Are doing those things not under the umbrella of "for personal gain"?

jeff061 · 07-08-2011, 04:21 PM

God damn Verizon screwed up my FIOS install. They told me today but put it in the system for the 19th. I'm going to be in Detroit(ugh) for the next three weeks. Piss me off.

Oh well, they said they'd credit me my 1st month's bill, whenever I can get it installed.

Agree. It's amazing that the media appears to not to know fully how our judicial system and Constitutional rights works. The problem also wasn't helped by the fact that they couldn't prove that it was pre-mediated or accidental.

I absolutely hate everything about the case and trial. From the media, to the lynch mob, to people crying "foul" when everything was followed by the law. I don't find these people to be much better than Casey, all cashing in on the death of a sweet, innocent 3-year-girl.

A serious question, but is she mentally unstable or ill by clinical standards? We all know she's narcissistic, but she clearly cross that line by miles. Can you treat something like that? The whole family seems messed up.

Galaxy · 07-08-2011, 06:03 PM

Maybe she can go hide out with Tiger down in Orlando.

Apparently not to an extreme degree, since her own defense team tried to have her declared incompetent to stand trial in the middle of the trial and had three experts declare her capable.

Mustang · 07-08-2011, 10:07 PM

I love old sports articles. From after Favre retired the 1st time...

Favre and Rodgers have one thing in common: Each measured precisely 6 feet 2 inches at the combine. Rodgers weighed 217 last season, about five pounds fewer than Favre, but his ability to withstand punishment is a major question.

Of the 50 games played by the Packers in the last three seasons, Rodgers wasn't available for six because of a broken foot and four because of a pulled hamstring.

The AFC scout said he'd take Rodgers over Grossman, Jackson and Beck, and that he'd take Anderson, Edwards, Clemens, Cutler, Leinart, Young and Houston's Matt Schaub over Rodgers.

Hindsight being 20/20... oops.

How is your girlfriend she asked as I was leaving fuddruckers. I asked what she was talking about. She said I brought some girl there. I asked what did she look like. She replied blonde. I shook my head like I didn't know. She said too many to keep track of. So I take girls in there but I don't have a clue who she is talking about. Drives me crazy, what do you guys with a sense of humor do in a situation like this. Play some fbcb until wondering about it subsides.

The parents seem just as insane. They interviewed her ex-fiance and said they weren't crappy parents to her in her younger years. Might explain why she rejected a visit from her mom today.

So I do just say things at times. I never took a blond there, that's what baffles me. My dad was there even but he was too upset about losing his juicy peach green tea because they switched from Pepsi to coke to even notice. I was shaking my head at the oddness when I got in the car but my dad wondered why. Maybe it didn't happen, maybe I took a blond there in my dreams.

Believe me, I'm no fan of anyone from that dysfunctional family circus.

It wouldn't have taken very much work to convince me that the mother (i.e. grandmother) was somehow involved in a grand conspiracy of some sort, bitch has always given off bad vibes to me no matter what role she was playing.

I agree. That's one of the big reasons why I couldn't rule guilty. Do you think that one's environment is what would cause a person to act this way?

I'd probably go more with genetics. The self-absorption required to do what I believe she did is off the charts, but I don't know that I could say I'm surprised after seeing as much of the parents as I've seen over the past three years (my wife is a Graceaholic, so I've heard the phrase "Tot Mom" more times than I can count & seen George and his wife more times than anyone should have to).

Part of me thinks it genetic as well, but environment certainly can help change it. I think Dateline NBC had a story two weeks ago or so on Diane Downs, which had an interview with her daughter.

Oh dear on the Graceaholic. I honestly cannot decide on who I dislike more. CNN is just as bad as Fox News these days.

I find the tramp stamp rather ugly as well. Most tattoos these days seem rather bland and meaningless. It's a butterfly, rose, or something generic.

You should see my dad's neighbor. A very large woman who has big tattoos all over her body (legs, arms, and I think some more private areas) who walks around outside in a one-piece black bathing suit. One day she ran over next door to show my dad her tattoos. They do not talk to each other and keep to their own business usually.

RainMaker · 07-09-2011, 05:18 AM

I don't mind a tramp stamp or something small on the back. But today I see a gorgeous girl walking my way. Great face, great body, and then I notice she has this huge tattoo running up her calf. It just looks ridiculous and turns her from a solid 8 to a 5 at best.

I think the reuben pizza we ordered last night was "off" as both my wife and I were pretty "under the weather" after eating it. I'm now doing a guy thing and weighing the pros and cons of eating the leftovers for lunch. On one hand, it's my favorite pizza. On the other, it will probably make me sicker.

haha, I did this at work this week. Ate some store bought mac and cheese on Tuesday and it gave me the horrible shits, which sucks at work. So I bought some pepto and ate the rest on Friday, didn't end well, for me or the bathroom at work.

I also learned Pepto makes your shit very dark.

I saw a pretty girl today who have all of the religious symbols on her wrist. Really downgraded her attractiveness.

I don't think so if she is dresses and acts appropriately. I don't have a problem with them, I just look at them and think why a pretty girl would put that on her body. It's like a guy having a muscular frame and wearing extremely baggy clothes all the time.
