Still Lovin' White Collar

Well Yeah!! I am still really into the USA series White Collar!! I haven't had a show I liked this well since I was in love with Little Joe on Bonanza. I have watched the show all the way through from the pilot and it has gotten better and better. In fact the pilot was really good and there was none of the rough edges that usually drag down a first show. This show is intelligent, funny and there is no blood, guts and gore scattered all over the place. The interaction between the characters Neal and Peter is great. It also shows some great pictures of New York City. And I like all the actors. Tim Dekay makes a great FBI agent and what's not to like about Matt Bomer (the con man). God Bless Texas for giving the world this looker! I don't buy DVD's of series much but I am gonna rush out and get this one. I found this interview with Diahann Carrol and liked what she said about older women. Seems she realizes that just cause we are older doesn't mean we are dead and can't enjoy a good looking man.

Interviewer: If there was one thing you could tell your fans from White Collar about your character that they would find surprising, what would it be?

Diahann Carroll: I think the relationship with Matt is very interesting and it's something that I see in my life, constantly, and that is women who are no longer young seem to find young men interesting and amusing, whereas they were not as interesting and amusing when I was young, and I think that happens to most women. We can afford that kind of relationship at this age.

Interviewer: White Collar has become a real hit with fans. I just want to know, what is it about the show that you think draws in the viewers?

Diahann Carroll: Oh, so many things and not only is Matt beautiful, and his partner Tim, is a very handsome man also, the writing is outstanding, I think, and the look of it, it brings you into it immediately. You want to know what is going on in that set and you want to know who these people are, that operate in that-it's a very-it grabs you, as we say on the ... It's a grabber and, once again, I must make comment about the writing. It's really wonderful.

Interviewer:I also want to know, have you learned anything interesting about the FBI, or con men, since being on the show?

Diahann Carroll: No. I knew a great deal about that before, and in particular, con men.

Saints

Well hell has frozen over again. The Saints won the Superbowl Game. I could give a lesser damn. What I find amazing is all the fans they have when they have a winning season. These are the same people who have told all the Saints jokes for years. Now they are in the "I've been a Saint's fan for forty years" group. Pleeeze!! The poor Saints have had more jokes told about them than any team EVER. And the news reporters who insist that the Saints having a winning season is someway related to New Orleans making a come back from Hurricane Katrina are really stretching it. Come on! That was over four years ago. The Saints were playing for that $84000. they each got for that ONE game not for some sentimental love of New Orleans. Amazing all the poor people who are shelling out thirty-five dollars to by a Saint's shirt in Winn-Dixie. I had a Saints shirt once but I think I used it to paint in. And for heaven sakes!! Why would anyone want to be know as a part of something call the Who Dat nation. I have no problem with the Saints winning. It's the fans I can't stand. I'm glad the Superbowl is over. Now we can move on to something important . . . like Mardi Gras!

THE BLACK BRA

I had lunch with 2 of my unmarried friends. One is engaged, one is a mistress, and I have been married for 20+ years.

We were chatting about our relationships and decided to amaze our men by greeting them at the door wearing a black bra, stiletto heels and a mask over our eyes. We agreed to meet in a few days to exchange notes.

Here's how it all went.

My engaged friend:The other night when my boyfriend came over he found me with a black leather bodice, tall stilettos and a mask. He saw me and said, 'You are the woman of my dreams.I love you..' Then we made passionate love all night long.

The mistress: Me too! The other night I met my lover at his office and I was wearing a raincoat, under it only the black bra, heels and mask over my eyes. When I opened the raincoat he didn't say a word, but he started to tremble and we had wild sex all night.

Then I had to share my story: When my husband came home I was wearing the black bra,black stockings, stilettos and a mask over my eyes.When he came in the door and saw me he said,

"What's for dinner, Batman?

How Saints Fans Think

Peyton Manning, after living a full life, died and went to heaven. When he got to heaven, God was showing him around. They came to a modest little house with a Colts flag in the window.
"This house is yours for eternity, Peyton," said God. "This is very special; not everyone gets a house up here."
Peyton felt special, indeed, and walked up to his house. On his way up the porch, he noticed another house just around the corner. It was a 3-story mansion with a black and gold sidewalk, a 50-foot tall flagpole with an enormous Saints flag, and in every window, a New Orleans Saints towel.
Peyton looked at God and said "God, I'm not trying to be ungrateful, but I have a question. I was an all-pro QB, I hold many NFL records, and I even went to the Hall of Fame."
God said "So what's your point Peyton?"
"Well, why does Drew Brees get a better house than me?"
God chuckled, and said "Peyton, that's not Drew's house, it's mine."
