Former teen idol Leif Garrett comments on the University of Cardiff study showing that women in their 40s are more likely to binge drink than their younger counterparts

Garrett: “Well, I guess I could speculate about why this might be — depression over aging, the pressures of work, loneliness — but, hell, why bother, man?

“Bottom line? That’s just more late night tail for me. And what makes it doubly cool is that, if you make sure you get all tweaked out on X before hitting the loveshack, all that slurring and stumbling around makes it seem like you’re banging Kathleen Turner. Which is, like, totally hot.”*

    Oh no you di-int.

    Another chance to disapprove,
    Another brilliant zinger,
    Another reason not to move,
    Another vodka stinger.

  3. happyfeet says:

    There are all sorts of uncomfortable metaphors in there when all I meant to say was that older women have been binge drinking for a long time.

  4. happyfeet says:

    I’m going to get up now.

    It could be a way to cope with the cognitive dissonance brought on by self-delusion.

    Warning: Bill Maher!

    tw: addling sensation

  6. slackjawedyokel says:

    Kathleen Turner.

    Rowwwwrrrrrr.

  7. Jeffersonian says:

    I’m more of a Michelle Pfeiffer guy, myself.

    TW: fergus wince…every time “Glamorous” comes on.

  8. LionDude says:

    Frankly, I can’t tell the difference between Ms. Turner and Mr. Garrett these days.

    HINT: Kathleen don’t dig on the ‘do rag and she only sang backup for Billy Ocean.

  9. SarahW says:

    What, no Turner and Hooch jokes?

    GOOD DAY, SIR!

  10. dicentra says:

    OMG. I just watched the Bill Maher clip, and it’s the first time he’s made sense, if only in a sickening way. (Unrepentant horndog!)

    But the thing about the feminization of America was spot on. Wonder he’s not a Repub, if he’s that into masculinity.

  11. Pablo says:

    The Hugh Grant line was comedy gold. Dirty, dirty gold.

  12. Happyfeet,

    IIIIIIIiiiiiiii’llll dringtothat!

  13. Gray says:

    The goddamned armadillo is never going to dance.

    reCaptcha: desired colony–you can’t spell colony without ‘colon’….

    After the celebrity bullriding who needs X to get you slurring and stumbling around.

  15. happyfeet says:

    That looks gayer than Smallville.

  16. That looks gayer than Smallville.

    coming from the guy that quoted Sondheim earlier, I suppose you would be a good judge of that. Not that there’s anything wrong with that. ;D

  17. happyfeet says:

    Ouch

  18. I’m sorry happyfeet, it’s the whiskey.

    and since I’m feeling chatty…. my parents took us to a production of “Side by Side” last Thursday and the lady that sang that song botched it. The pianist covered it well. Company is one of my favorites.

  19. happyfeet says:

    It’s ok – I mostly just know that song from this cd of broadway songs by this one lady my mom used to play. Don’t make me say it.

  20. Jim in KC says:

    I’m feeling pretty good right now that I have absolutely no idea whatsoever what song happyfeet and maggie are talking about. On the other hand, I do know who Giuseppe Di Stefano is, so that might be a wash.

  21. Rusty says:

    Showtunes! jaysus! This thread has turned officially gay. Not that there’s anything wrong with that. Some of my least close friends……………………….etc.etc.

    tw; sacred books. It’s just damn eerie.

  22. uhhh…have you guys SEEN Kathleen Turner lately?

    http://z.about.com/d/movies/1/0/z/3/N/monster07170618.jpg

    Yeah…hasn’t aged well. Even Leif might turn that down.

  23. happyfeet says:

    I think Kathleen suffered from some disease. Will check after coffees.

  24. I didn’t mean to sound so harsh. She does suffer from rheumatoid arthritis, but she is only 53. She is doing better because of new treatments.

  25. happyfeet says:

    It’s ok to be harsh. She’s a celebrity. On balance it’s very likely she’s a nightmare, or very much was.

  26. happyfeet says:

    Even Maria Conchita Alonso probably has her nightmarey moments. Yes, this seems a safe bet.

  27. B Moe says:

    “uhhh…have you guys SEEN Kathleen Turner lately?

    Yeah…hasn’t aged well.”

    Well, I know at least one of the posters here who hasn’t aged so well either. If she is lonely, give her my number.

    CW: urges crass Who rattled your cage?

  28. mojo says:

    I’d suggest Jen Tilly, but the dykes around here would probably stomp me.

    Melinda Clarke – there’s the ticket.

    SB: share Memphis
    Egypt?

  29. Cindy says:

    Can someone please tell me where I can see this clip?

  30. PC Security says:

    If your looking for even more information on PC security then I would head over here as they have plenty of stuff on identity theft, antivirus software etc.
