Bits, pieces and snippets from TWoP sometimes so off topic, you just gotta wonder how the mind behind the post works.

One guess at a time, please.

Once someone posts a challenge, please don't post a new challenge until the current one has been solved or revealed.

Have Fun!

For me, I do brush my teeth every day, but I'm not going to get pregnant if I don't bother to brush my teeth at the same time every day. If I can reduce the number of chances that I have to mess up, its more convenient for me. I say yay for more birth control options of all kinds. More equal wages, more birth control options. I want it all!

I feel the exact same way. One of the reasons I never took the pill is because I'm very absent-minded and probably WOULD forget.

I once had to take a pill everyday for about a month because my blood pressure was higher than my doctor wanted and I forgot to take it several times.

I bought a bottle of Gingko Biloba because I'm always fuzzy in the morning and I wanted to be more alert at work. I only remember to take it maybe 2 or 3 times a week.
<br>Enjoy!

Meet Market threads are out of bounds for these challenges, right? Because they're off-topic by design.

Assuming that's true, I'll guess House.

My dog's name is Capone but he also answers to Mr. VelvetEars...his official nickname. His ears are so soft and the name sounds like Mr Belvedere..and I was a fan of that show in the 80s.

luvbadtv.. do you purposely not smile? That must take a lot of energy if so. Why would you want to live like that? Or is it just in your nature not to smile and where does that come from? Life is only worth living if you can have some fun.. and smiling means fun and happy.

Yup. Zack, a 16 year old little person, is being torn apart on the board for being sullen and moody, and not cooperative. He's 16. He's facing some serious physical disabilities. And he has tv cameras in his face. Yet, he's supposed to smile more.

p2c2e
I know, forget the disabilities, I don't know that many 16 year old boys who don't have that to contend with who also aren't sullen and moody a great deal of the time.

Seriously. I came thisclose to committing fratricide on any number of occasions from the late 80s through the mid 90s -- stupid little brothers and their stupid, whiny adolescent angst.

This is the entire post:

Oh, glasses can break. Maybe not shatter, but definitely break. Especially if you put them down on a bed and then sit on them. Not that that's ever happened to me.
<br>This is part of a discussion that has gone on for a couple of pages, in an episode thread. So there's a hint, it's a show that has episode threads.
whome
I don't watch it, and in light of Erin's recent bitchiness, I'd say she wouldn't allow such a conversation to go on in her episode thread, but: Heroes?

Ugly Betty? Maybe they all got off on a tangent about her glasses.

No and no.

Grey's Anatomy?

No, for Grey's Anatomy.

For a clue, here's the entire post right before it (with the person's name taken out):

I did state that ---- may have exaggerated the extent of the damage to his sunglasses but there might be sufficient damage to require replacement. The term "shatter" was probably a hyperbole on ----'s part. Maybe develop a spiderweb of cracks at the worst as in automobile glass.

$350 glasses shouldn't shatter?
<br>Yup. $350 glasses can scratch, crack, chip, become deformed, or whatever, but they shouldn't shatter. There's no way you want to wear a pair of glasses that could burst into a million pieces if they get hit hard enough - walking into a door, falling down, or getting hit by a soccer ball could blind you with all of the plastic shards, if this was the case.

I don't doubt that the sunglasses were damaged. I'm just noting the needless hyperbole.

[And, yes, I've been wearing glasses and contacts for 23 years now - and have done considerable damage to my eyewear over the years.]
<br>It's all so fascinating, isn't it?

Jesus, shut up, people! Whatever the show is, it must be thrilling if all they can talk about for 2 pages are glasses' destructability.

Studio 60?
MickiRae
I was going to guess Supernatural, but you would never read more than three sentences without some mention of how hottttt Sam or Dean would look in said broken glasses and squeeeeeeeee!!!
WildHoney
No, not Studio 60. (eta: and not supernatural, I'm way too scared to go into that forum)

This is a bit tougher because the person's name I bleeped out earlier brought up sunglasses in his blog. On the show, we never saw sunglasses, or their alleged shattering. Though we did see manhandling of some of the person's other personal belongings. And an obsessive over-reaction that was totally TWoP worthy.
Magpie
Hmm, the only manhandling of personal belongings I've seen recently was on Top Chef, so that's my guess. I'm too scared to look in that thread to see if I'm right.

<a href='http://forums.televisionwithoutpity.com/index.php?showtopic=3148597&st=660' target='_blank'>You're right, magpie. It's not a scary thread, just wildly off-topic. And not the fun off-topic with TMI and moral pontificating. You get long rants that start out "as a former sunglasses owner..."

Now, if only we could somehow fuse the over-the-top superior morality, the endless rants, and the "as a former (or current) sunglasses owner..."

Yay! I'd post a new one now, but the only thread I've looked into this week is Rachael Ray's, and those posters are pretty much on-topic in their haaaate.

I just barely read this post on TWoP, and thought of this thread. So if no one else has one... It's a long post, these are the first two paragraphs. I only took out the name of the show.

I respectfully request regular pantleghat installments please.
<!--QuoteBegin-->
QUOTE
Word. How about a "Pantleghat Story of the Week" ?
<br>Wow, if only he knew how popular his hat still is! Unfortunately, there aren't a whole lot of stories about Pantleghat. My mother kept, according to my Grade 10 journal, "freaking out on him", and this put a real pall on our relationship, which - because it was largely based on a mutual love of acid - was pretty quick to crumble. After a couple of months of my mom "spazzing out" on us and getting "all up in my face", I just moved on to another loser who was closer to my own age and thus under her spazzo radar. I don't even remember "officially" breaking up with Pantleghat, I think I just stopped calling him for drugs.

So no stories, really, but there's some pretty funny PLH trivia that I'll try to drop into my [-----] posts from time to time. I don't want the moderators to "get all up in my face" about it, so I'll try to keep it relevant. Which, given all the notable pants AND hats on [-----], should be easier than I expected.
<br>"Pantleghat" is the nickname of the poster's old boyfriend, who used to wear a pant leg as a hat. I'm still waiting for her to "try to keep it relevant", but at least it's more entertaining than the sunglasses "debate."
Little Bear
Project Runway?
WildHoney
No. The show isn't recapped regularly. There was one recapped episode I know of, for a Tubey's Kids thing, I think.
thirdtime
I like the idea of her going through her decade (I'm guessing) old journals to make her TWoP posts more "entertaining"

Um um ... Melrose Place?
WildHoney
No to Melrose Place.
WildHoney
In case someone else has a better entry, I'll end the suspense (since I'm sure some of you that are losing sleep over this)... Melrose Place was close, but the post was in the 90210 thread.

And I tried to find a picture of a pantleg hat, or something similar, but could only find a pantleg cat. Close enough.

Well at least a Pantleg Cat won't scratch the furniture. Or embarrass you as much as someone who wears a pantleg for a hat.

I almost put this is in "As a former," but it's so bizarre, I thought it would make a good guessing game:

I once accidentally got some Poligrip stuck on my gums (shut up! My sister ran a senior center, I was visiting and bored and looking through her desk...") and my lips stuck to my gums in exactly that same way. (And let me tell you, that Poligrip is some powerful stuff--they're not lying about the all-day hold.)
<br>This is 1) a portion of a post and 2) not entirely off-topic in the thread in which it was posted.

Nope.

Nope, I'll give a hint. It's from an unrecapped competitive reality show that recently premiered.

buffy, you're a winner. That quote refers to the geek contestant, Pi, who kind of creepily draws his lips back from his teeth when he talks.

This used to be my favourite thread, but I've been neglecting it. It's out of the way, and I keep forgetting about it. Damn my short attention span!

There's a quote preceding this post, otherwise, this is it in its entirety:

QUOTE
Without porn, there would be no internet as we know it. You'll find tons of porn, with the exception of Playboy. Using copyright laws, Playboy keeps a tight lid on its pictures from appearing on the internet unless you pay for them. But, don't worry. These days, Playboy doesn't get any real celebs- mostly B movie actresses who accidentally stumbled into a major film role or into a TV series.
<br>Wow, Playboy uses copyright laws to protect the images that appear in their magazine? The fiends.
no no no
Conan O'Brien?
Rex Dart
TWoPpers will discuss porn, hoes and strippers in any context; this could literally be anything. I'll take a somewhat obvious one and guess Flavor of Love?
Magpie
This is probably wrong, since they did actually just visit Hef's mansion on the show, but I'll go ahead and guess The Apprentice.
DodgerGirl
Porn, eh? I'm going to guess....America Idol.
p2c2e
That post is actually sort of on topic but still shitty. I will spoil to not ruin the game >>it is from the My Name is Earl thread and a response to a post by the character of Joy (see shoutout thread) who posted "By the way, I’m keeping this damn computer. Earl don’t want it and the kids may need it for school or to look at porn when they turn fourteen." Jaime Pressly who plays Joy posed for Playboy twice. And the last sentence is a most likely a wipe at her.>>
superior olive
Ding ding ding! Congratulations, p2c2e that is correct. I would give you some porn as a reward, but I searched and searched and couldn't find any on the whole wide wide world of web. Weird.
p2c2e
I feel so robbed! I really thought that was a crappy thing for that poster to post especially in all the feel goodness of the GREATEST INTERNET SHOUT OUT OF ALL TIME!
Rex Dart
Wait, I read the thread but I must have missed that post. Is the person giving a history lecture to a fictional character? Or are they trying to insult Jaime Pressly for not being a "real celeb" but a "B movie actress who stumbled into a TV series"? I'm not sure which is nuttier.
p2c2e
I am fairly certain it's the later which is totally fucked up because she rocks in the role.

Yesterday @ 10:28 pm Post #3801
TWoP is infiltrating my life! I'll try to make this as short a story as possible. I thought of you guys on this thread yesterday under rather unusual circumstances.

I do running races and duathlons. Yesterday I did my first ultramarathon race...my first 50k. 31 miles of running on roads and trails. I don't normally eat when I run long, but I've never run longer than 26.2 (a regular length marathon). Usually all I need is water, sports drinks, and gels.

One woman pulled out of the race because the trails and roads were snow-covered and slippery. I saw her at the turn-around point, and she told me she was dropping out of the race and gave me some of her food. I didn't want to be mean, and say I didn't want it, so I took it. I'm glad I did. About 4 miles from the end I literally got hungry. That had never happened before. I took one of the ZipLoc'd baggies of mixed nuts out of my pocket. I was coming up on a big hill, and I told myself, just get up over this hill and down, and then you can walk and eat. So I'm running along clutching this baggie, and in my head pops the thought. "I'm all alone. It's just me, me and my ganja" I had to chuckle a moment, and I thought I'd share that with you.
DodgerGirl
I'm going to go with Rome, since some of the women were inhaling hemp last night.
buffyvol
No, not Rome. This shows been in re-runs for quite a few years. At least 8 I think.
a.j.
Roseanne?
buffyvol
Ding! Ding! One of the funniest episodes ever has Dan, Roseanne and Jackie, holed up in the bathroom with a baggie of pot from their younger days. Jackie, who is a Cop at that time, is laying in the bathtub, clutching her "ganja" while roseanne eats Pudding Pops.

Here's your prize.....
