The whole time I bet he will be wondering why he can't get his mittens off.

I am SO already there.

You know the one good thing I see out of this storyline...AWESOME drinking game. Everytime someone starts tearing up at the sight of the Oven Mitts o Pain of old Nubs there.....take a shot. Come to think of it...that might make the show actually watchable.....hmmmmmmmmmmm

Here are some more GH drinking games:
1. Take a shot every time Emily says "You would never hurt me"
2. Take a shot every time the camera zooms in on Claudia Zacchara's red shoes
3. Take a shot every time Epiphany sasses unnecessarily.
4. Take a shot every time Ric & Mariana are onscreen. This is mainly to make it easier for us to cope with those scenes without falling asleep.
5. Take a shot every time Sonny starts yelling at someone, forgets his line half way through, and improvises badly.
6. Most importantly--finish the bottle every time GH ends with another inane music montage.

Any other ideas?

Take a shot everytime Sam denies responsiblity and blames it all on someone else.

Take a shot everytime something contrived happens to make Jason look like the hero.

Guzzle everytime you hear the exact same conversation you heard last week by the same characters. (For example how many times seriously is Liz going to wonder what will happen to her children if something happens to her? It's called a WILL Liz...look into it PLEASE!)

I might argue that a shot of espresso would be more effective. Ditto for anytime Sonny and Kate are on the screen.

So, I was going to post about the insanity that was Friday's episode -- which started out with less than 3 minutes of one of Diego's bombs and how ridiculous it was. But then someone beat me to it with an awesome post elsewhere: http://soapsbyremote.typepad.com/soaps_by_...turally-un.html

If any of you forum folks is the author of this, I say BRAVO!

Thanks joannep, that would be me. I'm a lurker around here rather than a poster, but just wanted to say thanks.

And also suggest that for the drinking game that a shot should be taken every time Carly has a conversation with another person and doesn't hear a single word they say.

Sheesh...I'd be drunk before the first commercial break. Obviously pacing is required to follow this game closely.

Take a shot any time a doctore switches specialities! (why can't that happen to Kelly Lee? Can't she suddenly become like the janitor or something?)

Perhaps I missed this while zipping through with Tivo, but where did Johnny get a Sharpie?

It was, remarkably enough, hidden in the padding on the cell walls. Just because, apparently.

It was hidden in the padding of the cell walls that are covered with paper, for some reason.

Ok, are there like five steps of grieving for your favorite soap? Cause I was definitely in the rage phase around Christmas (Georgie), and now I am in the giggling uncontrollably phase.

I think that is the final stage....acceptance....

And I've always maintained that it wasn't the PCPD that was the most incompetent men in town...it was the goofs Sonny hires to guard him and "protect" the special few....seriously...HOW many people have gotten shot, kidnapped, been stalked in the shower, etc? And they are PRAISED as making these guys' homes SAFE? SO that was always my explanation on why Johnny had the marker and paper....I think he smuggled it in...and told them it was sock or something.......

Was it just me or did anyone else yell at the TV "Hey! How did my own personal hell get aired?" when Carly's "heaven" started airing?

good news is, if any us were to run into carly in "heaven", atleast she wears a bra there.

Well, if Carly gets to go to Heaven, that's a sign that you can pretty much do anything and still get a free pass.

I'm going to start walking around slapping people and yelling like a harpy for no reason all while wearing no underthings.

Add to this list, apologizing for mobsters, stealing babies, shooting people after I've manipulated them to the point of insanity, sleeping with my mother's husband, sleeping with my boyfriend/best friend's boss, being an all around whore in general, and a completely terrible mother.

Does that cover it all? Please feel free to add to this list...

Be completely hypocrical on my stance on the importance of biological rights of fathers. (Jason needs to be one and has every right to claim a child he does nothing for. Nik, AJ? Nah!) Insisting that what the mob does is just as important and morally right as say the police. Complete destroy my cousin for no other reason than she's suddenly ALWAYS THERE.

I was in shock today. Robin actually remembering why she of all people should not by lying about paternity? Patrick being a supportive, informed, soon to be father?

I LOVE Scrubs. As I have said before, only thing that keeps me watching this show.
