Hallmark Hall of Shame
by blank at 11:12 PM on May 09, 2005
Everyone knows that you haven't made it as a real actor until you've played the most challenging role one could face: the tard. It takes years of preparation and dedication. For some reason, the Hallmark Channel thought Rosie O'Donnell had what it took to pull off such a role.
Thus came "Riding The Bus With My Sister."
From TVGasm.com: "I never thought much about what my version of hell would be like, but after catching a very special (in both senses of the word) installment of the Hallmark Hall of Fame, I think I can safely imagine Hades without much difficulty. Yes, after weeks of nonsensical commercials featuring a frumpy Rosie O'Donnell and the dependably toothy Andie MacDowell, we were finally treated to Riding The Bus With My Sister, a schlockfest melodrama with a noticeable lack of volume control. Directed inexplicably by Anjelica Huston, this made-for-TV-movie's subtle subject matter seemed to have collided head-on with the koosh ball of embarrasing over-acting known as Rosie O'Donnell. We never thought we'd say it, but this movie made Rosie's work in Exit To Eden look like Shakespeare."
Incase you haven't had enough, Rosie has a Flickr account too.

I rebuilt my entry, so you can leave comments now, anna. It was over in the right column, but I think MG moved to a regular entry. Did I make it too long, or did I just misunderstand what that side is for? Anyway, I think I want to hear people's reactions to this Rosie thing. It's the funniest shit I have seen in a long time.

You were right, I moved it over because of the length.
But, Yeah, I wish I had seen this. I heard it was coming and wanted to watch it but forgot about it on the actual day. I've heard audio clips of it, like Anna, on various radio shows making fun. It sounds awful. If I were retarded I think I'd be terribly offended by Rosie' portrayal. Either that, or I'd be eating my own poo.

To me it sounds like a bad portrayal of a deaf person. I'M HEARING YOU!!! OUR DADDY IS DEAD!!!

Menstruation was of grave concern to classical, medieval and Renaissance medical writers and physicians. Modern anthropologists have noted that excessive concern with menstruation is a characteristic of many birth-positive cultures. Not only did regular menstruation indicate fertility, but by the theory of humors, women's excess humors and buildup of bodily wastes were flushed by regular monthly courses. If these did not occur, the wastes would build up and cause illness. An older woman who no longer menstruated posed a serious safety concern since the excess humors and wastes were thought to be able to poison men and sometimes children and others with whom she came into contact.
