Bobservations


I love me some HGTV and the other night they debuted a new show called Celebrity IOU where a celebrity helps a friend who needs a remodeling project done, and they do it on the sly.

First up was Brad Pitt, who wanted his make-up artists garage studio turned into a guest cottage, storage space and make up spot. Brad was there to help with the design and some, some, of the labor. As the show started it was those twin brothers—I forget their names and can’t be bothered to look them up—and Carlos said:
“Ooh, those brothers could come work on our house.”
“Are you kidding? Brad can come work on our house.”
“Oh, he’s okay.”
During the opening of the show, Bard talked about his make-up artist and friend, and they showed pictures 0f the two of them working on films together for the last thirty years, Young and blond Brad Pitt? Check. Long-haired Pitt? Check. Tatted Pitt in Fight Club? Check.

We watched the whole show together and the reveal to Brad’s friend, who was sweet and funny, and then Carlos says to me:
“Is that Brad Pitt?”
Seriously, an hour-long show, he didn’t hear the name Brad Pitt that was said dozens of times, or even see Brad Pitt or even notice the old photos of Brad Pitt.

Is.That.Brad.Pitt.

Oy.
It appears that the government stimulus checks may be delayed because _____wants his signature on them so that we can all thank him.

I’d like his signature, not on a check, but on every single mother**king COVID-19 death certificate. That’s all.
Interesting … March 2020 was the first March without a school shooting in the U.S. since 2002. So, clearly the virus saved some loves.
Virginia Democratic Governor Ralph Northam just signed a bill that adds sexual orientation and gender identity to the state’s nondiscrimination law.

Virginia will join 20 other states, D.C. and Puerto Rico that explicitly ban discrimination based on sexual orientation and gender identity and is the first Southern state to enact these protections.
Maine’s Democratic Governor Janet Mills saw a significant approval bump from last fall showing that Mainers are more likely to trust the state government to respond to the coronavirus outbreak than the federal government.

The same poll showed a further drop in approval for Republican Senator, _____ lover, and lying flip-flopper Susan Collins since last fall.

Win.Win.
During a church service on March 22, Bishop Gerald O. Glenn got his congregation at Richmond’s New Deliverance Evangelistic Church to stand up and prove how many were there despite warnings against gatherings of more than 10 people, saying:
“I firmly believe that God is larger than this dreaded virus. You can quote me on that.”
Glenn died Saturday from COVID-19 complications.
Sorry, not sorry.
You can quote me on that.
_____ said he would soon set up an advisory council of doctors and businessmen to recommend when to reopen America.

Yes, his daughter, Sweatshop Barbie, and her husband, Slumlord Kushner, are on the list.

Below is my list which I think is better.

_____ and three of his adult children, Junior, the Dumb One and Sweatshop Barbie, have filed a notice of appeal in federal court after last week suffering a major defeat over a bid to keep a fraud and deceptive trade practices lawsuit out of the public judicial system.

Part of the original SDNY ruling declared that long-secret tapes of the president culled from the archives of The Celebrity Apprentice must, finally, see the light of day. Tapes that allegedly showcase then-game show host Trump engaging in racist and sexist commentary.
And now, a quartet of Palate Cleansers … I’ve been watching movies under lockdown, some good, some bad. One was A Simple Favor, a twisty, turn-y black comedy about murder and insurance fraud and Blake Lively, who I find hot, you know, for a woman.

But that film also starred one Dustin Milligan [upper left] as a hot stud—and he delivered—along with Henry Golding [upper right]as a perhaps not-so-grieving husband. Milligan brought the pecs and abs, while Golding brought the charm and sex appeal and British accent.

I also watched Mortal Engines, a kind of futuristic, science fiction Steampunk tale of cities on wheels …and in the sky … and in the water … trying to survive after global devastation. It featured one Robert Sheehan [bottom right] as the sultry good guy in guy liner and Regé-Jean Page [bottom left] in sexy dreads who …SPOILER ALERT …gives his life for the fight.

Lockdown with any of these four would be, well, um, let’s just say I wouldn’t argue against it.

  1. I'll take Brad Pitt and the palate cleansers for 2000, Alex!

  2. I've seen A Simple Favor last year. A mess. Kinda a waste of time but then again, it was kinda good. I adore Blake Lively and Anna Kendrick so, had to see it.

    Think it could have been much, much better. Honestly, it didn't go the way I thought it should, which is not a good thing, lol! :)

  3. the Mortal Engines is a great series of books for teens by Philip Reeve

    As for Sweatshop Barbie (love it) and her tedious other half....please, they have even less knowledge of the coronavirus as the man or woman currently not on the street! Lock them up in a box and bring them out at Halloween

  4. Oh Bob, oh Bob - we saw the beginning of an old Oceans movie the other night with a young Brad Pitt in a hottie suit next to a young George Clooney who was also in a hottie suit and Pretty and I both agreed they were hotter than Paul Newman and Robert Redford in our day. All of which I say because I think Carlos needs to see those movies during the Covid-19 movie binges.
    Just when you think you've seen/heard it all, someone has to see his name printed on the recovery checks. WTF
    Every advisory council includes at least one member of the Guvmint Mafia family.
    Sweet Jesus.
    Deliver me. No. Seriously. Deliver me.

    The _____ family - omg!

  6. Susan Collins might as well resign...and take her rightful seat as queen of the squids.

    Officials on counsel. I don't see how a president can have any family involved so closely with the running of operations...any president...but especially this one as crooked as they are. When that family crashes....what a burn that will be.

    And covid 19 didn't get Wilbur yet? Is he even still alive? Or is he being manipulated by strings by Basil Twist?

  7. I guess Bishop Glenn can talk to God in person now.

  8. I think a tape of dump sexually assaulting a woman wouldn't change a single mind of his supporters.

    Sorry, I'm with Carlos, yes Brad is handsome but too Hollywood for me, the only time he pushed my buttons was in Thelma and Louise.

  9. Ohhh Blake Lively does it for me, too. Check out One Small Favor. She struts in a black suit I want for myself.
    Collins needs to go STAT. The grifters in the White House gonna grift til the last second.
    Anybody who risks getting COVID-19 for religion can go straight to their hell. Next!
    Cheeto's vanity knows no boundaries. Really. He thinks people will thank HIM for the money. Idiot!

    XOXO

  10. It's a good thing my stimulus will go straight to direct deposit so I don't have to see that idiot's signature. It's bad enough his face keeps popping up on news feed. And I hope Bishop Glenn had time to reflect on his very grave (pun intended) idiocy before he headed off into the great beyond.

    I'm with you.

    @Hot
    I liked the movie, but then I didn't have to pay to see it.

    @Helen
    Sweatshop and Slumlord aren't fit to do anything except con.

    @Sheila
    It just killed me that he'd been watching the show for an hour and never once equated Brad Pitt with Brad Pitt!

    Stay safe!

    @TDM
    I'd like to see the entire family prosecuted.

    @MM
    _____ picks his family because they'll do whatever he wants to stay in his good graces ...and the will.

    @Debra
    I imagine God is too busy for the bishop right now. Maybe he should head ... downstairs?

    @Steven
    Yes, the Deplorables would call it another hoax.
    And I think Brad has aged quite nicely ....

    @Six
    Blake was quite coolly evil and chic in the movie!

    I don't think I'll get a Clovis Stimulus check, but if I did I'd first check with family to see who is in need, if that's covered then donations to the local food bank, clinics, or Planned Parenthood would be in order. Just hoping that it would make a few GOP heads explode.

  14. Are you sure that isn't Samuel Goldwyn's signature?

    Way to go Virginia!

    Collins is on her way out.

    Glenn was a fool.

    You mean ass kissers of America.

  16. Oh, Carlos! Oh, San Geraldo! We're watching the Jack Ryan series. There was an actress on we recognized from another series. At the beginning we talked about who she was. An hour later, SG said, "I just realized who that actress was!" Crickets.
