Josco 49 Posted March 23, 2005 Escapism for me. Plus I like to sN-word at other people's misfortune, even if they are made up. Ah, schadenfreude; nothing wrong in enjoying a malicious satisfaction in the misfortunes of others. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Magere Hein 1,400 Posted March 23, 2005 Ah, schadenfreude; nothing wrong in enjoying a malicious satisfaction in the misfortunes of others.

Although I think she and her sister Olivia de Haviland are trying to outlive one another because they know their obituaries will read "...sister of..."

BrunoBrimley 86 Posted April 5, 2005 If Rainier gets through this illness and survives the year perhaps he should be considered for 2006. Windsor, he aint gonna make it! Well, you never really know until the last breath is drawn. According to my sources he has stablized wonderfully and is viewing his two favorite films of all time on a daily basis (okay that last part ain't true; but, he is stable). Check this and other places for the proof you want (and so greatly deserve): http://www.signonsandiego.com/news/world/2...ncerainier.html Did I ever tell you about my collection of stamps from Monaco? I have a series of them in which Mr. Grimaldi strikes a handsome pose and a few others where he doesn't seem quite as thrilled with his difficult job. I guess that's why the first four letters of his name are GRIM. (look I don't write these jokes I just sell 'em) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
