Boogie Chillen

For you legally minded people out there, I have a few questions: Can someone appoint someone as an executor of their estate without the potential executor's permission? Does the proposed executor HAVE to accept the job? If not, how would the estate then be executed? Seems to me that Brooke was totally surprised to have been appointed and if it was going to cause so much trouble, then why didn't she just turn it down (yeah, I know, it's not a juicy story that way)?

That wedding planner was being so snarky with Erica about keeping to his schedule and his snide remarks about whether or not the wedding would actually take place were WAY out of line. He must not value his job very much if he talks like that to his very RICH clients and their families.

Understatement of the day: Tad to Maria: "If it means anything? I've found that people in Pine Valley generally have a very short memory." LOL!

Why is Jack being so obstinate about what Erica wants to do as far as the wedding goes? He KNOWS what she's like. I can see objecting to taping it for a TV show, but what's the problem with doves if that's what she wants to do? Of course, if she REALLY felt that this wedding was SOOOOO special, she wouldn't care if everyone ELSE thought it was the most spectacular thing they've ever seen -- she would only care that it was special for the two of THEM and their families.

Am I the only one who made a couple of pop culture associations with today's show? First, the prissy wedding planner was named Mr. Babcock, who was the trustee of the estate of the father of Patrick Dennis, the little boy in "Auntie Mame" (which was already on my mind a little as I made the opening comment about Brooke being the executor of Edmund's estate). Then a new character, Dr. Stern, appeared so Jack can use her to shrink Greenlee vis a vis domestic abuse and Ryan. I immediately pictured Lilith Stern, Frasier's humorless ex-wife on "Cheers" and "Frasier" (who also happened to be a psychiatrist).

I think it's admirable that Zach alerted the airlines that Sam and Maddie were running away or, at least, boarding the flight to Europe without parental permission. HOWEVER -- I draw the line at him manhandling the kids and DEMANDING that they come home with him. Maddie was shrewd enough to pick up on that and run with it. Notice I said "shrew", not "smart". Like Maria is really going to believe that Zach tried to kidnap them!

Ryan asks Greenlee for a divorce. As part of their "romantic" surprise-a-day thing. What an ASSHOLE! She should divorce him just for THAT!

On another Boogie Chillen thread some of us discussed starting blogs for PV characters. I suggested that we ALL join in whenever the mood strikes us (as opposed to choosing a single FAC -- that way there's no burnout and no expectations), so I'm going to start including blog entries here and there, starting today.

PINE VALLEY BLOGS
BABE'S BLOG	I was serving a drink at the bar today and my hand got wet, so I wiped it on my butt cheek -- then I a wet handprint on my ass! DAMN! I'll have to remember to start bringing my blow-dryer to work. Kendall and Greenlee and Ryan were in here today and they were all REALLY messed up! Ryan was 3 sheets to the wind before he even came in. Greenlee crawled behind the bar and was waddling around like a duck. Then Kendall came in and started offering her skanky, bony ass to him. That girl has NO class! THEN she announced that she hooked up with JAR last night. I tried to warn her, but she was really snotty to me. Bitch! I hope he gives her crabs and she gives HIM herpes.
KENDALL'S BLOG	Had sex with JAR last night. In bed he's just like he is out of it -- puffed up with self-importance, but completely transparent and inept -- as usual, his bark was worse than his bite. He's been panting after me since he was in high school. I closed my eyes and pretended he was Ethan. What was I THINKING? He has a tattoo of Betty Boop on his ass for God's sake! Then in the morning I saw his underpants on the floor and realized he's one of those guys that leave SKIDMARKS! UGH!!! What IS it about guys who can't figure out how to wipe their own ass???? I don't GET it -- don't they even NOTICE it??? Later on I was at a skeevy bar where that babynapping SLUT Babe is the bartender. She served a drink and then wiped her hand on her ass and was walking around with a wet handprint on her pants. That girl has NO class! She probably has crabs. Yeow! Wow, I just had a REALLY sharp itch -- it's almost like something BIT me!
