Full disclosure. If the opportunity ever presents itself my wife has given me a full pass to leave her for Helen Mirren (or Bette Midler).

I saw them together years ago on Broadway. Those two are such great scene partners, they could read the back of a cereal box and still get a standing ovation.

With grease, of course.
The arrows really can go both ways. See, you can remove democracy with Hair Shitler!

so I don’t get this, the impeachment is kinda fake and meaningless, he has a scary high chance of winning re-election, and we end up with a 7-2 supreme court and overflowing alt-right appeals court system
how is any of this remotely funny? it’s a horror show
what i wouldn’t give for either of them to be our president instead…

Would it be cruel if I revealed that the only reason most women ever give out such passes is because they know the chances of that ever happening are slim to none?

I always liked her response in the show. “It’s ironic, because I have a list of five goofy coffee house guys and just yesterday I bumped you for that guy over there.” Given how many randos have probably hit on her when she’s out living her life, it landed as more than just acting.

Right?
I also fluv Isabella Rossellini, but she’s not on my ‘list’… because I’m not unrealistic or audacious enough to have that kind of list in the first place.
Just because I find Idris Elba utterly scrumptious, doesn’t necessarily mean that if by some slim chance that I was ever anywhere near him, he would find me equally attractive in return…

Same here. I accidentally flirted with a celebrity once on 5th Avenue. Gave what I thought was a cute looking Parsons student a quick “looking good” smile as I was approaching from the other direction, only to realise close up that she was Cindy Crawford. She was kind enough me a smile in return, even though I must have had an idiotic expression on my face when I noticed the famous mole and put 2+2 together. It also got me some cheers from some other guys on the street, in a friendly “way to go, doofus” kind of way.
Where it gets really weird when a celebrity hits on you at random. I know a couple of people this has happened to, and they all found it very disconcerting. The reaction must be fun for the celebrity, though.

Oh I agree entirely. Her lone stipulation was “ok but if they would rather run off with me that’s ok too”.

I really think I’d like your wife if I met her personally ; she sounds like my kind of people.
