Look you old stinkpot, I was on my phone. It's challenging. Now away with you.

Thanks Joan!

Thanks Joan!

Hey, there's a difference between gratuitously ridiculing defenseless victims and slapping down an annoying heckler...

[Big RR]

Well, I guess it wasn't "or not".

I always feel like I am donating to a charity when I give him some reason to pounce. It's probably the only exercise he gets.

[TPFKA@W]

You remind me of JoeGuy, someone who used to post here.

[Joe Guy]

TPFKA@W is not the first name she has used her, but her new name explains why she made the change.

Her current handle stands for The Person Formerly Known As @lways Wrong.

Sometimes I found her funny, many times not. Didn't go out of my way to find her on TV or go to a live show. But I don't wish her any ill and hope she recovers.

Okay @W, time to grab your dancing shoes:

Joan Rivers, a pioneering female stand-up comic and the queen of "Can We Talk?" gossip, has died. She was 81, her daughter, Melissa Rivers, said Thursday.

Rivers was undergoing surgery on her vocal cords at a clinic in New York City on Aug. 28 when she stopped breathing and had to be transported to Mount Sinai Hospital. Melissa Rivers and her 13-year-old grandson, Cooper, who lived with her in Malibu, California, rushed to her bedside.

"My mother's greatest joy in life was to make people laugh," Melissa Rivers said in a statement. "Although that is difficult to do right now, I know her final wish would be that we return to laughing soon."

To be honest, I was kind of surprised she didn't recover...

Even though she was 81, her underlying health had to be pretty good to keep the kind of energy demanding pace that she was able to set...

I see a med-mal case in someone's future. I hope the clinic's/doc's liability premiums are paid up.

So all these posts and not one tasteless jab at Joan Rivers or her condition. The paper says she is in stable but critical condition; I guess she's fine then.

[Long Run]

Day late on that one. The upside is that she will look from head to toe in mahogany (her line from Whitney Houston's death).

[Big RR]

Well, may she rest in peace. It's always a bot sad when the funny person dies.

LR--I'd bet she would have laughed at that.
