No fun, no dancing, no jury — straight to execution

The fun is slated to end
Hey, remember that snazzy voice recorder down there on the left-hand sidebar? It’s going to shrivel up and die on March 31, 2010. I don’t know why that service is shutting down, but it is. So thanks for playing along and Lin you get 150 extra karma points for making Hobbes and Grace meow for me.
That was a bitchin’ treat.
Please no dancing, Kate
I do not want to see Kate Gosselin dancing with the stars.
I’m not interested in seeing her break dance, tap dance or engage in interpretive dance. She might be able to bust a move like no one’s business but I won’t be watching.
I didn’t even watch when Donny Osmond was on and he actually has a place in my heart. I did watch him on YouTube, however. But I will not be watching Kate of a Thousand Hair-dos on YouTube.
And her hair is getting tiresome. No, that’s not true. The fact that most of the gossip rags are publishing photos of her hair as breaking news is tiresome.
She already has another style, but the one she sported briefly — last week, I think — totally reminded me of Mrs. Wiggins from “The Carol Burnett Show.” Man I loved Mrs. Wiggins. She was funny. So was Mr. Tudball.
Now I would watch Mrs. Wiggins and Mr. Tudball dance with the stars. Or with each other.
No trial, no jury, straight to execution
It’s strange how a movie quote gets finessed by the public and then that’s what people remember as the original. I was positive the quote from “Pulp Fiction” was, “No judge, no jury, straight to execution.” And lots o’ other people online thought the same thing. But the actual quote starts out, “No trial.”
I like the alliteration of judge and jury and I think most everyone else does, too. But I wonder if Quentin Tarantino gets annoyed when he sees the word jury instead of trial. He wrote the dialogue and he chose trial not jury.
I think that would bug the living shit out of me if I were him.
Now having said that, I do use the incorrect quote frequently. Most of the time I say it to Mr. C but I usually just mutter it under my breath. It helps me express my feelings of injustice while keeping me out of prison.
Side note: Did y’all know there’s a difference between jail and prison? Most of the time I use them interchangeably but I do know better.
I learned that back when I was a reporter right out of college. Jail is a short-term gig used by local jurisdictions, like counties and cities, to confine folks (who have not yet been convicted) up to 364 days. A prison houses convicted criminals for the long haul.
So saying “No judge, no jury, straight to execution,” helps keep me out of jail and prison but if I’m forced to go to one of them I’ll pick jail any day of the week.

You know, I have no idea who kate Gosselin is. I could google her, but based on your obviously low opinion of her that would seemingly be a waste of virtual ink. I would assume she’s some sort of reality tv star…they seem to be popping up like some virulent venereal disease lately (ooo…alliteration!).
I also didn’t recognize the quote from Pulp Fiction. I am so out of the “entertainment trivia” contest.
Steve, without knowing her, you still know her. She is a realty TV star who is.
OV. ER. EXPOSED. Gah.
I loved the Mrs. Wiggins connection–that was spot on. And yeah/no–I won’t be watching that mess. They are really scraping the bottom of the barrel when they picked that dame to be on. Who’s next–Joe? Really, I think my husband is next in line.
I can’t tell you how bummin’ I am about that silly recording thing on your sidebar. Geesh! Does anyone else have that because it’s just too cool. Just ask Grace. Treats were in the offering, but Hobbes sort of just sat there while Grace did all the talking. Go figure.
They are scraping. Seriously.
I am bummed out as well. I need to research this to find a suitable (free) replacement. That’s probably why it didn’t survive — cause it’s free.
I have to tell you, when I first listened to Grace and Hobbes (but mostly Grace) my middle kid said, “Wow. Katie really sounds like a cat meowing like that.” Then I laughed and showed them what I was listening to and we we hit replay many a time.
I will be listening to Grace right up until midnight on March 31.
I am jealous that Steve has no idea who Kate Gosselin is. Also, shocked. How is that possible?
And I totally thought that was 2 pictures of her! Amazing resemblance!
Tell me about it. I really am getting tired of her. She is NOT a star worthy of being on the show.
Isn’t that funny about her (former) hair?
GINGAH!
I just left you a message! So cool. I wish I’d seen it earlier. Not that I had/have anything interesting to say, but it’s a fun widget, and I would’ve slapped one in my sidebar too.
Tarantino dropped the ball on this one, clearly. Rather than getting annoyed, I bet he slaps his forehead and says, D’oh! Should’ve made it “jury” not “trial.”
Live and learn, Quentin.
I know, it’s a bitch. I will have to find a replacement that’s going to last longer than a month. But it has to be free.
I’m positive he’s slapping his head every time he hears it. I would be.
But I’d also be pissed that people were messing it up. I am an artiste, you know.
I don’t really watch the show, so I don’t care too much one way or the other, but if you don’t want her on there then I say she should go! I will say that I like her better than her ex, but that’s not saying much.
Alright, it’s decided, Zeus. She. Must. Go! I demand it.
Definitely if I were forced to choose I would go with her and not the douche.
Kate Goslin or Pamela Anderson… hmmm. I think my hubby will enjoy PA dancing, regardless of what he says.
Every season they have the “models” – the eye candy who are always first to go. Typically they are actual models. Maybe these two chickies will be the “models”?
Strangely enough I have no beef with Pamela Anderson. Her home life is sorta quiet, but weird with the way she and Tommy Lee keep coming together and then leaving ad nauseam. But overall I’d take her with no problem.
I’ve never watched DWS. Don’t plan to. I already have enough TV I like. Seriously, who’s taking care of these kids while she’s off rehearsing a bajillion hours?
I love the few memories I have of the Carol Burnett Show. I have no idea why I saw the reruns considering we only had the three network channels. It ended well before I was born. (1978, 1984) I distinctly remember the Scarlett O’Hara skit.
Like Seinfeld, I apparently missed out on the Pulp Fiction thing. I just don’t get the hype. Reservoir Dogs was good. From Dusk til Dawn is awesome. Cracks me up. I’d just be glad somebody quoted my movie, no matter how inaccurately. I’d think, Damn, it’s good to be a gangsta.
I didn’t know there was a difference between jail and prison until I had a Sociology prof say something about being in jail, not prison and someone asked the distinction. I remember thinking that made sense. I have been to neither, though I should have been a time or two/uncountable times.
The nanny, of course. Or Jon’s new girlfriend.
I also love Carol Burnett; she’s fun. I could be friends with her.
I used to watch Jon & Kate Plus 8 before it became the big phenom. Combo of cute kids, but too many, which reminded me how awesome birth control is!
Then they went freaking nutso, and my favorite part of the show went kaput. …But I still watched. Thank the heavens it is over, and I will NOT watch any more things with her in it!
I have seen episodes of J&K+8 and I always walked away thinking Kate was a massive control freak who *must* be taking Paxil to deal with life.
They did get crazily out of hand arguing via the magazines, didn’t they?
OMG, I TOTALLY thought that was two pictures of her! Epic juxtaposition, CG!!
And no, I’ve *never* watched “Jon & Kate,” nor DWTS. (Seriously, who *are* these people who give a rat’s ass about D-listers and their third-rate ballroom skills?)
I WILL, however, be tuning in to Kate (shimmying with whatever Latin partner she’s invariably banging) to the inevitable YouTube video wherein he violently spins her away during their Pasa Roble number, and that nasty weave lands on a judge’s horrified face.
Thank you.
Thank you very much (bows and gives a circular flourish with her right hand.) I thought it was pretty damn excellent work if I do say so myself.
I’d watch the whole episode if I knew her weave was gonna fly like the wind.
I like Kate Gosselin, but I don’t think I’m ready to see her dance either. But then again, I’m not a fan of Dancing with the Stars to begin with. I do think its HI-LARRY-US that you’ve got the side by side shot of Carol Burnett in that Secretary character she used to do. I LOVED that show. Good call.
Thanks LJ! As soon as I saw her hairstyle du jour I immediate saw my favorite blonde, Mrs. Wiggins.
Hey look at you,, still blogging I AM GLAD I do stop now and then but don not always comment… hope it is getting warm there for you… now lets see if I am still the little green monster guy…..
YES YES I AM,,, GO GREEN GUY!!!!!!
Hey JAM! It’s good to see you. It is finally getting warm — we hit 65 yesterday — but I will not be convinced spring is here until May 1st. I’ve seen a snow storm at the end of April before.
I was sick of Kate Gosselin and her fifth-grader of a (now ex) husband last June. Are they still around? Ugh. So over it.
Yes, they’re like gonorrhea — they won’t go away and they keep showing up at inopportune times.
