    Another retirement option

    Shania Twain is splitting from her husband:

    http://www.nytimes.com/reuters/arts/...ent-twain.html

    Yet another option in my plan to marry a rich widow or divorcee!

    As an aside: isn't it a little funny for a "country" star to split her time between Switzerland and New Zealand? Shouldn't she be splitting it between Lubbock and the Smoky Mountains? Just askin'...

    I dunno, but you gotta admire the imagination to pull it off. Most snowbirds are happy with a split-level in the Twin Cities and a mobile home in Phoenix!

    I wonder how Shania and hubby got the '86 Lebaron from Geneva to Aukland?

          I am at a loss. Please explain to me me why I should give a horse's apple about this. It has as much interest as Princess Diana's car crash, some "celebrity" bimbo not wearing her underpants or G.W. Bush's daughter's decision to marry in Texas instead of at the White House.

              Perhaps the OP should have checked with you first to see if you were interested before posting??

                If at first you don't succeed, deny you were trying in the first place.

                  I'm standing in the other line.

                    No, the OP has every right to post it, and the cable news networks have the right to present it as news. However, in both cases, they have to expect some crusty old f**t (who has nothing better to do) to exercise his right to complain about it. That, after all, is the job of crusty old f**ts.

                      I, and probably everybody else, see 20 posts a day on here that are really not within my sphere of interest, so I just move on to the next one. If I tossed the poster under the bus every time, I would get an ulcer. Not everybody can share the same level of interest in every subject, and this thread was properly posted into the "coffee pot" forum. Just thought you might have overreacted a little. 'Nuff said...

                          You know, Charlie, I can see your point of view.

                          Now if Shania Twain was not wearing undies, that'd be news!!

                              As if all this celebrity "news" stuff wasn't bad enough...

                              The city of Malibu has engaged Ken Starr, Dean of Law at Pepperdine University and former Special Prosecutor, to investigate whether appropriate laws can be drafted limiting, or controlling, the activities of paparazzi in that community. http://malibusurfsidenews.com/blog/2...l-options.html

                              Let's see, shall I work on my Blackwater investigation today, or perhaps shape the minds of you people going into law, or worry about dopey picture-taking guys.

                              What a world.
