American Idol, Anna Nicole, Dumb and Dumber

American Idol. I mean, they are not my idol. Are they yours?

The late Anna Nicole Smith. More of an American Idol that most American Idols, for her stunning looks, witty sense of humor, and likable personality. An All-American Lady, in my expert opinion.

"Poodles and Pussies". The name of the pet company in the movie Dumb and Dumber.

Classical music. It's good for puppies and babies.

Love. Boy, was it in the air yesterday.

Yeah, Brain!
"Close your eyes for a minute and envision all the romantic parts of the human body. Her beautiful eyes. His strong shoulders. We'll stop there, but you go right ahead and think about all the body parts you want. Bet you didn't think about the caudate and the ventral tegmental areas, did you?"
