Pheaturing Demi Moore

Today... The saga that you thought was over in 1983... And then thought was over in 2005... Finally ends... Again... For the last time... Until they start the next saga... hahaha. Hey there, welcome to the Phile for a Friday. How are you? I went to see Star Wars: The Rise Of Skywalker last night and I won't give anything away... but I liked it. I don't love it, but I liked it. Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker might be one of the most highly-anticipated films of the year, and yet, it seems like the film hasn’t been doing so well with critics. The film came out officially today, and early reactions for the film have been pouring out online, revealing divisive reviews. Not only that, but official critic reviews for the film have begun pouring in, and it looks like the film hasn’t been doing too well with that either. The Rise of Skywalker’s score on Rotten Tomatoes is now in, and it looks like the film has a pretty rotten score that’s come up to 59% as of this writing. The score is based on 241 critic reviews on the review aggregation site, and according to the critic consensus, Episode IX “suffers from a frustrating lack of imagination, but concludes this beloved saga with fan-focused devotion.” It’s been nothing but dreadful, and fans have been taking to social media sites like Twitter to express their concern over The Rise of Skywalker’s score. Star Wars fans have been shocked by the film’s early results... entries from the galaxy far, far away usually do well among critics. Despite its divisive turn out among fans, critics loved Star Wars: The Last Jedi and the film came out with a 91% Rotten Tomatoes score out of 455 reviews. Now, it seems like the new Star Wars movie has the second-worst score for a live-action Star Wars film. The Rise of Skywalker’s poor 59% is just a little above Star Wars: The Phantom Menace which earned 53%.
Operation Varsity Blues, aka the college admissions scandal, was one of the best and funniest things to happen in 2019, because it was one of the only times when rich people faced consequences for their crimes and can't be acquitted in the Senate. After pleading guilty to paying somebody to boost her daughter's SAT scores, Felicity Huffman served 11 days of a 14-day sentence in prison. Loughlin, however, insists that she is innocent, and that the $500,000 dollar donations she gave to the University of Southern California after staging photos of her daughters on rowing machines to sneak them in as crew recruits were indeed legitimate donations. TMZ took a look at the documents filed in the U.S. District Court in Boston, dishing, "Lori and Mossimo's lawyers claim in new legal docs ... their clients made 'legitimate donations' ... 'At trial, Giannulli and Loughlin will help establish their innocence by showing that they understood both sets of payments to be legitimate donations and did not understand or intent that either set of payments would be used to directly or indirectly bribe Heinel [former USC senior associate athletic director].'" If convicted, Loughlin and her husband Massimo Giannuli were charged with conspiracy to commit mail and wire fraud, honest services fraud, money laundering and federal programs bribery. If convicted, the face a maximum (Massimum?) of 45 years! Meanwhile, their daughter Olivia Jade, who didn't want to be in college anyway, is out of school and back on YouTube. It's almost like the (alleged) crimes weren't even worth it?
B-squad Princess Beatrice is a British Royal most famous for having worn a horrible hat to the A-team's (Prince William and Duchess Kate's) wedding. She's now engaged to have a wedding of her own, but the timing couldn't be worse. Her father Prince Andrew was booted out of Buckingham Palace after her father gave a disastrous interview about his friendship with Jeffrey Epstein and it became impossible to ignore the allegation that he had sex with a 17-year-old sex trafficking victim. Beatrice lost her privilege of throwing a big, fancy engagement party out of concern that her father would be there, but the Palace has finally let her set a wedding date for sometime in June, and will let her announce it in January. The royal gossip mill is reporting on how shitty things have been for Bea, with a source telling "Entertainment Tonight," "Everyone right now is concerned about Bea. Poor Bea. She deserves to have the wedding she wants and the public is going to go nuts [because of her father]." Andrew's disgrace is also complicating Beatrice's ability to book a venue, with his royal demotion putting palaces out of the question. His status as honorary Colonel of the Grenadier Guards might also be rescinded, denying her access to The Guards’ Chapel, St James’s Park. His accuser, Virginia Roberts, expressed sympathy for Beatrice and her sister Eugenie, saying that their father put them "through hell" by "hanging around with pedophiles."
A mother in Gainesville, Georgia was arrested after threatening her son’s bullies in a Facebook Live video. I’ve heard of someone landing in “Facebook Jail” before, but this is a whole other level. Cirea Oliver, age 29, spoke up about her son’s bullying in a Facebook Live video that led to her arrest. The video was over 40 minutes long. The video has since been removed from Oliver’s Facebook profile. She explained that she had previously spoken to teachers and school officials, but no one had done anything to improve the situation. Tired of the repeated abuse, Oliver went live and shared her frustrations. Unfortunately she took things much too far. Early in the video, Oliver claimed that she would take responsibility if one of her son’s bullies went home from school with a black eye one day. She also talked about beating the children, to teach them a lesson, since the parents and teachers weren’t providing proper discipline. Oliver said, “These kids, it’s a lack of parenting and it’s a lack of fucking teachers in the school system that give a fuck about these kids.” But at the end of the video, she also claims that she would shoot the kids in their heads if they continued to abuse her son. The following Monday, when she showed up at Gainesville Middle School, the Gainesville County police were ready to escort her off of the school grounds. Corporal Jessica Van stated, “We take these types of calls very seriously, any kinds of threats, especially to our children.” On Twitter people had mixed emotions about Oliver’s actions. For some, they completely understand where Oliver was coming from in defending her bullied child, even if her defense tactics were inappropriate. For others, they were appalled at how far Oliver took her threats, especially since her target audience was children. Oliver clearly wanted to provide support for her son when she felt like he wasn’t getting any from his school. And Oliver has also been referred to as a good mother and person by her family members, despite this incident. Nevertheless, her threats were inappropriate and were cause for her to be charged with terroristic threats. At this time, she is in jail indefinitely, without the option for bail, until she appears in court to account for her charges.
Usually when celebrities are the top trending topic on Twitter, it's because they either did something bad or died, but Whoopi Goldberg received the honor for telling off her fellow "View" co-host. Discussing the hot topic of Trump's imminent impeachment, host Sunny Hostin accused Republican senators of hypocrisy for voting to convict Bill Clinton for perjury, while brushing off Trump's alleged criminal bribery. McCain wouldn't let her finish, and Whoopi, on her last nerve, said "Girl, please stop talking." "I won't talk the rest of the show," McCain murmured, to which Whoopi responded, "I'd be okay with that." In that moment, Whoopi became a national hero. Thank you for your service.
If I had a TARDIS I would probably end up on some kind of aerial tram descending into the Kimberly Diamond Mine in South Africa in 1885.

No. Fucking. Way. So, one of my favorite comics ever, Watchmen, kinda predicted what would happen with the Star Wars movies.

That's pretty much what I said at the start of this entry. Did your kid write a letter to Santa yet? Kids nowadays are so much more savvy than when I was a kid.

Haha. Good job, Andre. So, you know that Elf on the Shelf? Sometimes he goes a little bit too far...

Ummm... yeah. They tell me if I go to Walmart I would see some strange sights... I didn't believe it until I saw this...

Another old man wearing an inappropriate t-shirt. So, one thing I didn't like about the new Star Wars movie was the CGI effects. I don't think they spent a lot of money on this film...

Hahahaha. Now from the home office in Port Jefferson, New York, here is...

Top Phive Things Probably Said At Your Office Holiday Party
5. Everyone who made it to work today after our office holiday party last night is acting like they survived Vietnam. Someone just referred to a co-worker as "brother."
4. My boss hates going to office events so much that he told me he was skipping the holiday party tonight because he had to meet his son’s cat.
3. Them cheesecake bites at them holiday party’s hit different when you ain’t pay for them.
2. I told myself, I’d had enough to drink, but as fate would have it, I don’t take advice from drunks. And the number one thing probably said at your office holiday party is...
1. White people love hating Hispanics until its time to play "Feliz Navidad" at their office holiday party.

If you spot the Mindphuck let me know. Okay, it's time to talk football with my good friend Jeff.

Me: Hey, Jeff, welcome back to the Phile. So... did you see the movie? I saw it last night. I won't spoil anything for you or anybody that hasn't seen it.

Jeff: Hey, Jason, always glad to be on the Phile talking football. No, I haven't seen the movie yet. I'm going early tomorrow. You know I'm so glad that a small independent movie like that has a chance at the box office with all these big budget movies. I'm pulling for it. Ha ha.

Me: Ha! So, Odell Beckham wants out of Cleveland, and though he’s never publicly proclaimed this up to this point, he’s reportedly been telling just about every team the Browns face to trade for him. He was off the one of the greatest starts to a career for anyone at his position in league history is about to finish with career lows, and Freddie Kitchens and the Browns seem to be at fault. Beckham, among other teammates such as Jarvis Landry have reportedly been telling the other team to “come get me” both during and after games, and among those teams are the Pittsburgh Steelers. If he goes to the Steelers that would be crazy, right? Would you want him on your team?

Jeff: It depends on who you ask. Jarvis Landry said that Beckham DOESN'T want out of Cleveland, but the reports keep coming in that that he does. Beckham is a great receiver if he focuses. There's been time he's been seen barely running out because the play isn't designed for him. That's never a good sign for a receiver. Honestly? I would be reluctant to have a guy like that on my team. Is he a talented player? Of course he is. But the argument can be made he can be a locker room cancer. We just dealt with that with Antonio Whack Job Brown. So I don't know if I would want him on my team.

Me: So, of all the teams in the NFL over the past decade has any team ever not posted a winning record?

Jeff: Why yes! As a matter of fact there's been one team in all the NFL from 2010-2019 that didn't have a record over .500 in any season. That would be the Cleveland Browns. This year was all hype and they fell flat on their faces. I LOVE IT! Cause guess what you can do, Cleveland? That's right... YOU CAN SUCK IT, CLEVELAND.

Me: How about some good news? Drew Brees is a walking record breaker. The 40-year-old future first-ballot Hall of Famer entered Monday night looking to break the NFL’s all-time touchdown pass record, and ended up not only doing so, but setting a new record at the same time. Completing a ridiculous 29 of his 30 passes, Brees set the NFL’s single-game mark for competition percentage with 96.7%. Whose record did he beat, Jeff? I can't remember...

Jeff: Seriously, Drew Brees is a God among men. He has the most career TD passes (for now) and in the same game he broke the completion percentage record for a single game. I honestly didn't know who had it before him, but it's an amazing list. Because the top five players on the list were done in the past seven years. Four of the players are still in the league. But it was Phillip Rivers who he beat on Monday night. Drew Brees is a class act player. He's a record setter who's never even had a single scandal his entire career!

Me: This is a sad Giants story... Giants cornerback Janoris Jenkins wasn’t practicing on Wednesday due to an ankle injury, but that doesn’t mean Jenkins wasn’t healthy enough to attack fans on Twitter. Just before the start of practice, Jenkins began tweeting out his stats and a defense of his individual season by pointing out that he hadn’t given up a touchdown since Week 3. A fan replied that his individual stats hasn’t helped the Giants win games as the team is riding a franchise record nine-game losing streak and are 2-11. Jenkins responded to the fan by calling him an offensive slur...

Me: Giants head coach Pat Shurmur was asked about Jenkins tweet and responded by saying that he was “just made aware of the tweets” and that Jenkins “shouldn’t be tweeting during practice.” On Thursday, Jenkins refused to apologize for it and the team announced on Friday that they’ve released him. So, what do you think about that?

Jeff: We live in a time where players (and people in general) have to be careful what they say on social media. I kind of agree with the Giants in penalizing Jenkins. You can't attack people when you're famous, even if they attack you first. It's one thing to defend yourself, but there really is no place in the world for the R-word as an insult. But that's just my opinion. What do I know?

Me: My favorite story of the week is Booger McFarland accidentally drawing a huge penis on TV during the MNF game...

Me: Booger is pretty much trolling us at this point. Do you think he did that on purpose?

Jeff: I would like to think Booger knew he was drawing a big yellow penis on national television. But again, in today's world you just never know anymore. I shake my head.

Me: So, what NFL news do you have, Jeff?

Jeff: There's not a lot of news right now. Just teams like the 49ers and Bills locking up playoff spots. Both teams have been pleasant surprises. Brees wasn't the only QB to break a record this week. Lamar Jackson of the Ravens broke Michael Vick's record. No, not for most dog fights in a season. Jackson became the single season QB rushing record holder in a blowout against the Jets on Thursday night football. The best news story of the week is that Bears linebacker Khalil Mack went to his local Walmart and paid off everyone's layaway. He paid 80k of his own money so that 300 families will have an amazing Christmas. That's the story we need to hear more of!

Me: I agree. So, America has taken back another team from England and renamed it and changed the logo...

Me: What do you think?

Jeff: Very presidential. I like it. 

Me: By the way, what do you think of this new Christmas ornament?

Jeff: I have the perfect idea for a commercial for that ornament. Imagine this.... a black screen and you hear a voice over: Do you have someone in your life that's a Browns fan? Do you want them to relieve the moment their season ended? Now they can (screen opens with ornament of Myles Garrett being a scumbag swinging a helmet at Mason Rudolph). You can relieve that moment over and over and be festive. Watch Myles Garrett commit assault and get the rest of the season off (and possibly more). End commercial. I hate this world.

Me: So, the Giants won this past week and the Steelers, lost, right? So how did we do? I know you're still kicking my ass.

Jeff: Remember last week when I said your spreads were too high? You picked Ravens by 20 and they won by 21. You picked Chiefs by 17 and they won by 20. Plus with the Giants winning you had the perfect week! And you know what? Your week got even better because I went 0-2 and the Steelers lost. You gained 5 points on me! I hate this world! Also, suck it Cleveland. This story has nothing to do with Cleveland, but I still want them to suck it.

Me: Yes! A Christmas miracle! Okay, let's pick for next week... I say Texans by 3 and Saints by 3 as well. What do you say?

Jeff: I'm going to go with the Ravens over the Cleveland Suckits by 9 and the Seahawks by 5.

Me: Ha! So, I saw this meme, Jeff...

Me: Did you make it? It's funny. I wish our pictures were in the meme. Hahahahahaha.

Jeff: I took the tweet from "SportsCenter" and added the laughing faces at the bottom. So yup. That's my meme. There's Big Ben, Barack, John Cena, Jennifer Lawerence, Kevin Smith and Vince McMahon all telling Cleveland to suck it.

Me: All right, I will see you back here next Friday for the last time this year. we will go over the top phive NFL stories from this season as well. Have a good Christmas and see you back in a week.

Jeff: See you next week!

Call an ambulance. Haha. Okay, so you know I live in Florida, right? There's things that happen here in Florida that probably won't happen anywhere else in the universe. So, once again here is...

A parking cop in Miami Beach, Florida has been arrested following a sting operation which revealed he’s been extorting a local valet business for $1000 a month. In return for the money, he neglected to write the company up for parking violations. When the city’s parking director received a tip that Dante Zirio, 57, was involved in a bribery scheme, they began watching him. The police enlisted the help of APS Parking LLC, whose owner gave Diaz a $750 payment on video as part of the operation. Shortly thereafter, Diaz was under arrest for charges of “extortion, bribery and accepting an unlawful compensation for official behavior.” Miami Beach City Manager Jimmy Morales sent an email to the city’s mayor, saying, “It’s a sad day when a public official engages in such behavior, but it is good to know that internally we did the right thing to identify and arrest the perpetrator.” Morales also indicated that Zirio seemed to be acting on his own while committing these crimes, but urged officers to continue investigating just to be certain. “We will not tolerate any act of bribery or public corruption in the City of Miami Beach.” Zirio has been a Miami Beach public employee for 20 years. His employment status will be decided after a “pre-disciplinary” hearing on Monday, December 23rd. It’s more than likely his days as a traffic cop are now behind him.

Today's pheatured guest is an American actress and film producer, and actor of Inside Out: A Memoir, the 110th book to be pheatured in the Phile's Book Club. Please welcome to the Phile... Demi Moore!

Me: Wow! This is really cool! Hey there, Demi, welcome to the Phile. How are you?

Demi: Hello, Jason. I'm wonderful.

Me: As I just said in the intro your book Inside Out: A Memoir is the 110th book to be pheatured in the Phile's Bpok Club, Demi. It's not a total "happy" book, is it?

Demi: Well, for years, my life was scrutinized by paparazzi and splashed across the pages of glossy magazines. There was the end of my marriage to Bruce Willis, the age gap between me and my third husband, Ashton Kutcher, and later, a series of stories about loneliness and ill health. I faced insecurity and inner turmoil for much of her life. My parents would often uproot their small family as they criss-crossed the country, repeatedly starting from scratch in a brand new city.

Me: So, you traveled a lot?

Demi: Yeah, this is what I knew and it was my baseline normal to move.

Me: Why did your family move so often?

Demi: It started out from my dad who was very good at what he did. At that time there was lay out advertising and he would get opportunities for promotions. As their lives were building I think that's when things were unresolved emotionally and internally not dealt with. I refer to it in the book as "geographics."

Me: What is "geographics"?

Demi: Geographics is moving onto the next as if that's going to be better but the reality is yes, everything is going to be the same but everything will still come with us.

Me: What is something that would happen that would make your parents and your family move? 

Demi: Infidelity. If there was an infidelity in the family instead of addressing it the family would just move away from whom the infidelity was with. As if that was going to be the answer to the problem. 

Me: They were kids as well, right?

Demi: Because I have so much compassion for my parents because they had a lack of tools and language. They were babies, my mother was not yet 19 when I was born and my dad was 19. We barely know who we are let alone taking on the responsibility of guiding another life. Especially if we they have our own traumas and baggage that's not had an opportunity to be really digested and processed and held in a way is supported for them. I know my parents really did the best they could, not that was okay, or didn't have real massive repercussions on me and my brother but I don't think t was intentional.

Me: What was your mom like when you were a kid?

Demi: She was extremely warm, loving, very welcoming. There was always room for another at our table. But what's interesting is the judgement that she had of herself, the misunderstanding that she held that she wasn't loved, or lovable. That is ultimately the filter which she was moving through life with. Which meant she was constantly trying to fill something that she felt had never even filled the same time feeling that she wasn't worthy. There was a lot of, I think, self-medicating to try to deal with something I don't think she understood. Or she just didn't feel good and wanted to get out of herself. It created behavior that was extremely unpredictable and for me my mother was the child. I stepped in very quickly to being the adult.

Me: How old were you when you had to look after your mom? About 5, 6 or 7, right?

Demi: I was a little bit older. But it was at that point, and I think anybody who's had a parent with these kind of challenges, we are looking at ourselves and thinking anything that I have going on, any problem I have is just not as important as whatever they have going on. And so we begin to just push down whatever we might need or feel or think is a problem.

Me: What do you think that did to you as you got older?

Demi: Well, I think on one hand it made me extremely self-sufficient and self reliant. But it also made me feel that it wasn't okay to ask for help.

Me: In the book you talk about being raped at 15 and there's questions about your mom's involvement with that. Tell me as much as you want, Demi. Is that okay?

Demi: Sure. Again remember that my mother was quite young, like when I'm 15 she's not that much older. There was a kind of feeling of us bing peers. The situation that occurred for lack of a better description was a family friend. He knew my mother, he knew me, he was not someone that we had known a super long time. The situation of coming home from school and this man being in the apartment with no one else there, me not knowing how he got in there and feeling trapped. I was trapped. And then to have weeks later he had this experience with me that he said out of his own anger because I just didn't want to have anything to deal with him. I couldn't believe he even showed up two weeks later to say, "How does it feel to be whored by your mother for 500 dollars?" That was a question I could not wrap myself around even considering. That's why I say in the book from that day I was an orphan. Because any semblance of safety that I might've thought I had was gone. The fear of having to have to explore that question as if that was true. Am I that? I also couldn't do and I just shut the door on all of it.

Me: So, do you think that what he told you was true?

Demi: In my heart of hearts I don't believe it was a conscious upfront transaction, but nevertheless, she let him in.

Me: I take it was a pivotal moment for you, am I right about that?

Demi: Oh, definitely. I moved out on my own two days later and I just turned 16-years-old.

Me: So, what was it like for you to write about it, having to relive it?

Demi: It actually was extremely freeing.

Me: Really? Why is that?

Demi: Yeah, and healing. I think it was more than ten years ago was the first I really looked at it as rape. I always thought it was my fault, that I had put myself in a position, that I behaved in a way that was provocative or that what even my mother's actions were, whatever they may have been were my fault. So I think by bringing it out in the open and really looking at it being able to go back in in a certain way and really comfort and acknowledge the little girl within me that went through that and forgive myself. And look at it as this was a misunderstanding I held against myself for basically my whole life. That it was my fault, that somehow I was a bad person. And say a 50-year-old man who was in a room with a 15-year-old girl was not the 15-year-old girls fault.

Me: A lot of times people have said that, they didn't think it was rape, they thought it was their fault. Do you think it's more recent that people are saying the opposite? Maybe it's because it's because of the MeToo movement.

Demi: Definitely. And it isn't, or wasn't, up until now a place of safety to say it or if they did it marked them and it didn't matter to carry on. I think for me as someone who has operated much of my life as a survivor I think I took looked at it like I was moving forward and also put my life at a pace that I was almost running with everything that I did to prove that I'm not that. And needed to drive to do things that would make okay that I'm here.

Me: Okay, so, when I started interviewing people on the Phile in 2008 I never thought in a million years I'd be interviewing Demi Moore. And then if I did believe it I would not think it would be such a "dark" interview. So, can we talk about some happier stuff, Demi?

Demi: Okay, Jason.

Me: I was told to only really talk about the book... so where did the title of the book come from? 

Demi: It's so easy for us to compare our insides to someones outside and we don't ever know what might be going on, which is part of the idea that I titled the book Inside Out because of the ongoing issues I had with my body and there's two films that are perfect examples of me dominating my body and changing it over multiple times in this desire to control it, to will it to being and be able to control it.

Me: What are those two movies?

Demi: G.I. Jane and Striptease. From some cases for a role that's a wonderful thing to be able to do but internally feeling that I needed to be a certain way and be really desired to be great. Or to be somebody that other people wanted in their film to be chosen, all of those things. It was a torment, an absolute torment.

Me: You posed nude and pregnant in Vanity Fair, Demi. I have to show it here...

Me: Why did you do that?

Demi: It was such an empowering photo to women in North America about reclaiming our bodies and by showing that what our standards of beauty are and in our society are flawed.

Me: Do you think that was a good idea looking back?

Demi: Well, it was accompanied by an unkind profile.

Me: Huh? What do you mean?

Demi: It was definitely so hurtful. The angry part of me at the moment was probably it felt more like well, at least they'd only remember the picture.

Me: Do you think anyone ever remembers the article?

Demi: No one ever remembers the article, Jason. Yet it did have a huge impact, I think I talk about this in the book, on people questioning am I difficult to work with, that I really had to answer to when I really hadn't done any thing really to match what had been described or created about in that article. 

Me: Do you feel like you're taking control of your own story with this memoir?

Demi: Oh, absolutely. Absolutely. And what I know is it's my story, it's my truth, there is no one truth and in this I'm sharing it again from my perspective from the "inside out." Everything they've done is from the outside in. It's all out of need to tear me down. In a way to be able to show what was really happening for me from the inside I at leas hope it gives more of a full picture.

Me: Do you think people forget that celebrities are real people?

Demi: It's the nature, it's the reductive nature. Even with the book being out the tabloids and those cheesier publications that are on-line are trying to make this really as if its I don't know, salacious and sensational.

Me: "Demi Dishes On Ashton" or something like that, right?

Demi: Yeah, or that this is even about throwing anybody under the bus. It's not. And I hold so much love and respect for everyone that I share about in the book and again I don't see myself as a victim and nor do I have any interest in blaming anyone. Not Bruce, not Ashton, my parents, because this is my life. These are my choices however situations may inform them they're my choices.

Me: Does it piss you of that this book has been out, you told your story, and magazines and websites still say shit about you?

Demi: Me expressing forgiving, love, kindness, appreciation isn't what sells those kind of cheap tabloids. 

Me: I know, but don't you think the irony is that the real story is so much more interesting?

Demi: I hope it is.

Me: So, why did you decide to write this book now, Demi?

Demi: Because we're all human. None of us are exempt, we all go through extreme challenges, we all experience loss. Many of us ave experienced traumas. I think knowing that we are not alone I think really is what my intention was.

Me: Demi, thanks so much for being on the Phile. Please come back and tell Ashton I said hello. I hope this was fun, even though the topic wasn't the most fun, but it's your story and I'm glad we got to talk about it.

Demi: Thank you so much for being so generous, thoughtful and kind. It really was a pleasure.

Me: You're welcome.

That about does it for this entry of the Phile. Thanks to my guests Jeff Trelewicz and of course Demi Moore. That was cool, kinda dark and sad, and not the happiest interviews I have done but it was still cool. The Phile will be back on Monday with A Peverett Phile Christmas 11 pheaturing Sting. Not the wrestler, but the singer. Spread the word, not the turd. Don't let snakes and alligators bite you. Bye, love you, bye.
