People are idiots

[Pekka]

I mean, who writes the signs.. tne horoscopes.. 'today you will be.. you'.

I mean, who are these guys? Have you ever known any of those? I haven't, I think none of us knows any of them. I think they rather say they work talking to a phone sex line or something.

And this I really dont' get... I'm now going through Married with Children, and Al is the biggest idiot in the world for one reason. Peg is freaking hot, ok? She is smoking hot. Hot hot hot!!! And we all know this to be true.

The daughter is hot

[Pekka]

yeah she's hot too. It's a guilt trip too, because she's rather young.

[VetLegion]

No way she's too young unless the series has been going since the 70s and you're watching the early episodes. The episodes I saw, she was probably 20-25, can't be sure.

[Pekka]

WEll, it did go for 10 years. Then again, of course I'm also talking about the.. later episodes.

What about the guy who writes the horoscopes? I think that guy needs a raise.

[VetLegion]

I think horoscopes are for *******s, but since everyone has one...

BTW., don't laugh. This is the first TV person I saw as a kid and though was a hottie

Here's to the hero of la Resistance

Since the horoscopes tend to be syndicated (at least, the ones I've seen are), there are only a handful of astrologers. So the odds of any one of us being acquainted with one of them are pretty low. Plus they probably have their own crowd they hang out with, very different from your preferred buddies. Much more crystal- and aura-oriented. Alternately, the horoscopes might be randomly generated by computers from various bland statements.

And Christina Applegate was only underage in the really early ones AFAIK (the ones where she had blatant mega-frizz eighties-hair and wasn't especially attractive as a result). Once the series entered the nineties and she got normal hair she was either eighteen or very close to it. Idunno, maybe someone can check IMDB to be sure.

EDIT: IMDB says she was born in November 1971. MWC premiered in 1987. She was only underage for the first two years of its decade-long run.

Elok, I don't know how they fooled you, but I've seen computer programs write horoscope.

[Elok]

Fooled me? Huh? I *said* they might be written by computers. Or are you saying that computers are terrible at writing horoscopes, and so the real human astrologers have "fooled me" into thinking they're dumb Word scripts?

[Pekka]

Not underaged in Finland

Anyway, I think I'm going to buy that no ma'am shirt. I've seen them sold on the internet couple of times.

I love your random thoughts.

As for married with children, he treats her like she's a fat housewife, but she isn't fat. But everything her character does resembles a fat housewife (eating bon-bons, watching Oprah on the sofa etc). I figured they didn't cast a fat woman for the role for PC reasons.

[Elok]

More likely keeping-the-youth-bracket-for-advertisers reasons. The show wasn't exactly PC by nature.
