I'm watching a Lifetime movie and I want to...

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

punch the mother of the teen mother in the face. However, it also has Jane Krakowski in it and she's so hott and a sweet person.

1. Don't punch her in the face.

It'll wreck your TV! :-)

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

3. That's true.

Sure my tv is kind of fucked up anyway, but then it'd be really fucked up. A tempermental fucked up tv is better than a totally fucked up tv.

2. is that the lady from Ally McBeal?

I know that name sounds familiar for some reason...

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

4. Yeah, she played Elaine on Ally McBeal.

I also work for her mom's theatre company, so I've met her a bunch of times. She's really nice and she even comes out to see the kids plays that our summer theatre camp puts on.

OMG, sooooo hott in person. The tv does not do her justice (although I think she's hot on tv, too).

[speedoo]

5. Didn't she also play the wife of "Earl" in that Dixie Chicks video?

You know, the song where Earl beats her and the gals conspire to do away with Earl?

She's very hot, but I haven't seen much of her lately.

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

6. I actually never saw that video.

She's been doing stage stuff lately in England, which is where she lives now.

[speedoo]

8. Here it is. "Goodbye Earl".

I think you'll like it, still one of my faves. Great casting, watch carefully at the end for a reappearance by Earl (played by Dennis Franz.)

10. That's a good video.

I have no clue how I missed it because I used to watch VH1 religiously in the mornings when that album came out.

It's been added to my favorites list on youtube.

[speedoo]

11. Glad you liked it.

Youtube rocks!!

[Starbucks Anarchist]

7. Yep.

Lauren Holly was the friend.

[idgiehkt]

9. I bet it was tough for her being on that show

she's a WO-man, and those little spindly skinny girls probably were hard to stand up next to. If I remember correctly she can sing well, too, right?

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

12. She's an AMAZING singer.

Actually, she's really tiny...probably only a size two.

[Indy_Dem_Defender]

13. She's also in the original National Lampoon's Vacation

as cousin vicki, It didn't even register that it was her because she's like 13 years old in it until about 3 years ago and I saw the movie again and I'm like wait that's chick off ally mcbeal.

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

14. Yeah, I never realized it was her until...

I mentioned something about it and her mom was like, "you know my daughter was in that, right?"

[Indy_Dem_Defender]

15. that is still one of my all-time favorite comedies

I remember her memorable line in it was something like, "Daddy says I'm an excellent french kisser" then I think I saw it on TBS and they changed it to "My Teacher says"

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

16. Yeah, I love all the National Lampoon's vacation movies

(I have seen the Vegas one though)

It's a tradition in my family to watch the X-Mas one while we're decorating the tree. My dad was totally like Clark Grizwald. Hell, we even had a tree cutting saga in which we ended up slogging through a couple miles of mud (big snow storm followed by 60 degree weather) followed by my father scamming some Catholic monks for a free X-Mas tree. He was also prone to taking us on long car rides in pursuit of some obcure "mission," which was generally something dumb like what he considered to be the best hot dog ever. Man, I miss my dad.
