[Aristus]

"She's the kitchen wench, and all grease..."

The Comedy Of Errors, Act III, Scene 2, Line 93.

1. Paula Deen should be ashamed of herself!

[Aristus]

2. I've never accepted the ludicrous excuse:

"Well, that's just the way we talked back then!"

Because there were plenty of people living back then who didn't talk that way, because they weren't giant, putrid dickbags!

[In_The_Wind]

3. I was born in Atlanta in 1948. I don't talk like that, never do, never did.

[Aristus]

4. I believe you.

You have a good heart, and it shows...

[In_The_Wind]

5. You must be the leader of my fan club.

[Aristus]

6. Yeah.

And I had to arm-wrestle a mob of guys best two-out-of-three for the position...

[A Simple Game]

8. I'm not sure about that.

"Well, that's just the way we talked back then!"

I suspect in her circle they still talk like that.

I always suspected she was an evil person.

[Aristus]

9. I suspect you're right.

[Suich]

7. Yuck!

Horrible picture...excellent quote!

[Aristus]

10. Kick for the evening crowd.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

11. So, THAT'S what she looks like. ICK.

Thank you for continuing my education, my dear Aristus...

You put the best quotes from Will with these pictures.

She just looks ghastly.

Well done!

[Aristus]

12. Well, you don't get a face and body like hers through clean living,

proper diet and lots of exercise.

You, on the other hand, CalPeg, are the poster lady for righteous living! And you have the looks to prove it...

[CaliforniaPeggy]

13. You're too kind, my dear Aristus...

And I'll bet you've got some lovely spirits churning around in your blood...

[Aristus]

14. Kick for Sunday.

[one_voice]

15. She's a very ugly person...

I'm not referring to her physical characteristics.

[Aristus]

16. I agree.

I saw your subject line, and knew immediately what you meant.

Having grown up in the South, I can assert with some authority that the type of syrupy Southern "charm" she exudes imperfectly covers the glee she would no doubt exhibit if she could set on fire everyone her parents taught her to hate.

I once joked with a friend: "If a Southern woman ever blesses your heart......RUN!..."
