I often wonder what would it be like to be a woman who believed in or used something like this? Sometimes I want to be that person...

First season I didn't care for Mary, but she grew on me as I realized she does know what she's talking about, and she really loves and wants to help these contestants. I now love her for exactly who she is; loud, smart, sassy, crazy and supportive. Botox, teeth veneers and all.

I'd assume that they'd need to be sold to pay estate taxes.

The rumor from MSNBC is that MJ willed the catalog to Paul McCartney (he owns 50% and sold the other half to Sony years ago).
- Peter Ghosh
Ah, it would be interesting if he actually did will them to Paul, wouldn't it. They would have kinda gone full circle then. I wonder if yoko would be pissed.
- Thomas Hawk
It might be hard to be better sourced than TMZ, but I don't put much credence on the UK rags for anything other than knowing they'll have another dumb poll result and google maps related story tomorrow.
- Richard Lawler
I'm guessing his creditors do, unless he had any estate left at all.
- Dave Roth
They will probably be sold off to pay his debts. There were loans taken out with them as the collateral if I remember correctly.
- Uncle CW™
Sony still owns the catalog. Jackson sold it to them.
- cecily
"In 1998 [Jackson] took out a loan for $140 million from Bank of America, which two years later was upped to $200 million. Further loans of hundreds of millions followed. The collateral for the loans was Mr. Jackson’s 50 percent share in Sony/ATV Music Publishing, a portfolio of thousands of songs, including more than 259 by the Beatles that are considered some of the most valuable...

Question: So, whatever happened to Chumby? They appear to still be in business, but the buzz seems to be completely gone. - http://www.chumby.com/pages...
Name the top 2 movies you could watch over and over. Not the 2 "best" movies, just the two you could watch the most... (e.g. Dumb and Dumber never gets old, but it isn't exactly Oscar material)
Before Sunset and ... I guess don't have a second. I'm not really a movie guy at heart, and The Matrix would have been my second, except I watched it a kajillion times 8 or 9 years ago and burned out on it.
- Andrew C
High Fidelity and Army of Darkness (and to whoever said Swingers, yes, but I still can't watch the answering machine scene straight through no matter how many times I try)
- Louis Simoneau
Star Wars trilogy, how can I forgot those. DER.
- Mona Nomura
The Princess Bride for sure. Second pick is harder, not many movies can be watched repeatedly. I'll go with Hot Fuzz for #2. Good picks Jason.

QUESTION: You have the oppotunity to take a trip in space and explore a far-away world. Money is no object, and you have a reasonably good chance of surviving the trip. But there is also a chance that you will be gone for many years from earth. Do you stay, or do you go?
By "far away world," I assume you mean one in our solar system. Were I in my late 50s to mid 60s, I would go. There's a good chance you'll end up with cancer at some point in your life from the radiation exposure.

I would go but only if my family could go also. I know Joelito would love it...he loves anything "outer space" as he so eloquently puts it
- jamar78
I'd go, not much keeping me here and I like travelling. ;-)
- Kol Tregaskes
Fuggit I'll go. Wait, do they have fish in this other world?

First no room for kitten then it is a big ship. What if I grow strawberries -hydroponic like (can I take kitten now?)
- Janet
Well, I had to redesign the ship to accommodate more pets, which meant more room for parks, which meant more room for food and crops. So, yeah, lots of kittehs. :D
- Steven Perez
from IM
How many years? Up to five, absolutely. More than that, I'll think about it. But having the internet and kittehs certainly ups my tolerance. :-)
- Deborah Fitchett
Hmmm, tough. I'd rather spend those years traveling Earth, I think, though.
- Jandy, ConcertMaven of FF
Only if there was some way for me to have internet access on a regular basis. After all, who is going to check my email while I am gone? And I'll probably want to blog about the adventure, as it unfolds.

I might try it. Once. I do love donuts but much prefer frosted chocolate (not the same as chocolate frosted!).
- CAJ, somewhere else
I've had that. :) Not just me though. My coworkers and I split it. We were dragged there by some reps from the company we were meeting with because they said we'd die sad people if we never tried the donuts at that place. Delicious indeed.
- tinypants - Hagitha of FF
Cake donuts are horrible, Jason! Regular donut dough rules, on the other hand.
- Andrew C
I happen to live in the town (Round Rock, TX) where these are made. Round Rock donuts are famous around these parts but most folks just got normal sized ones. They are very good by the way.
- Jeff Jones
Jeff Jones: Yeah man I saw that TX restaurant on Man v. Food. The host tried to eat the whole thing, but he failed. LOL
- Danny Minick
Donuts in any form are awesome but give me my Krispy Kremes :D

Jim: Of course we have jobs! That's why we NEED donuts of this type. Because our hollow, soul-less bodies need empty calorie nourishment! It helps fight off the effects of the florescent lighting!
- Morgan Haley
LOL! [ed: Morgan, why do you seem to appear and disappear from friendfeed. You need to be around on a more regular basis if you're going to leave comments like the ones in this thread].

Sonic is pretty good. I love that they sell tater tots and my daughters love to go and "drive in"
- Bill Rawlinson
GRRRRRRR... not my picks from Sonic, but thanks just the same for rubbing it in that they don't exist anywhere at all in CA.

My Ocean Water was sub-par: this location doesn't put enough blue coconut syrup in it. But it's my traditional Coney beverage, so I had to get it. I've been eating this same meal for 15 years now, starting at the Governor's School when we'd walk to the Sonic in Hartsville.
- FFing Enigma (aka Tina)
Sonic's Texas Toast Grill Cheeses are the best.
- Matthew
Their cherry limeade is one of my all-time favorite beverages, so good!! I realize looking at the pic that everyone can see my scribbly work notes. Pay no mind to those Notes doc IDs, 'kay?
- FFing Enigma (aka Tina)
I've made sweet love to the breakfast burrito combo many a nights and mornings!!
- Lokei Atikus™®
My wife would shoot you for that right now.... but we are getting to go to one when we go to Dover for the race later this month.
- Jeff Quinton
So *that's* what a footlong Coney is! Damn, I have some apologising to do...
- Andy Bold
The only thing that would make that better would be their onion rings.
- Alex Scoble
We need Sonics closer to us here in Jersey. Wah.
- Great Scott!
Sadly, I don't care for their onion rings, and the tots are only good IMO with chili and cheese. I have a rule about only eating one chili-cheese coated item per meal, so it's always fries (dipped in BBQ sauce) with my Coney.
- FFing Enigma (aka Tina)
Yeah, I could see how you could dislike their onion rings since they taste like donut batter, but I find the taste simply irresistible...like crack in the shape of an onion ring.
- Alex Scoble
+@ha3rvey on the tots! When I was a tot myself, Sonic used to have these really cool little plastic animals they'd put on the kid drink lid/straw. My favorite was the red monkey with the curly tail.
- ɐ ɯıʞ sıɹɥɔ
They should stack onion rings on the foot long then deep fry it in peanut oil.
- Tony C
from fftogo
Alex, I'm a picky bitch when it comes to onion rings. I don't like them in any kind of heavy or corn meal based batter. Thin batter only, the lighter the better.
- FFing Enigma (aka Tina)
Tina's got nothing to worry about: the biggest tease, when it comes to Sonic, is that like 50% of all the TV commercials are for EFing Sonic. WTF is that all about. Talk about a broken marketing model.
- ɐ ɯıʞ sıɹɥɔ
Yum. Luckily I just had enchiladas at Chuys, so I am immune to wanting this ... sorta :)

Brings back memories of sitting in line on opening day of the first Sonic in Michigan about 1 year ago! Gotta love Sonic! :)
- Les Zaldor
Ohhhhhhhhhhhh I just have a new Sonic that opened in Ashland. I'm there!

As an aside, I really need to thank my parents for my metabolism... Good thin they're coming over for dinner tonight!

Thanks Tina. I now know what I want for dinner. Off to the supermaket!

Ocean Water is Sprite with blue coconut syrup mixed in. Quite tasty when done properly.

Its times like these that I wish I could hit Like more than once.
- Russell Holliman
I tried Sonic for the first time a few weeks ago and the burger was excellent. Later I went online to check calorie counts on a hunch --- OMG.
- Fred Yankowski
mmm I'll take a Cherry Limeade, please! :)
- holly
im drinking a grape slush as we speak :)
- (jeff)isageek
Just checked, there's one 28 miles away... Maybe while out on a "Sunday" drive...?
- Ron Thompson
Love the chili cheese tots. Also, every time I go I get a different shot of flavor for my soda. Grape-flavored coke, watermelon-flavored root beer. Lemon and lime flavored coke is so good!
- Alisha Vargas
Oh, and they do have them in California. There are several around Sacramento and I know of one down 99 in Modesto. I think I've seen them in LA too.
- Alisha Vargas
We only have one or two Sonics in Minneapolis, but the first one is only a few miles from me. I've got a hankerin for a Coney and a Cherry Limeade right now... :-)
