At least she found someone close to her emotional age to emulate. ;-)

Her horn went beep beep beep!

Who left her alone with the remote?

I am surprised that someone has not buried a meat cleaver in Ramsey’s head.

Kate, either that or Danae discovered HBO showing George Carlin’s specials.

Old person wants to know: “Who the hell is Gordon Ramsay? Never heard of ‘im.”
GROG Premium Member over 13 years ago
Fortunately he was on a station that beeped the F-bomb. I don’t think it would be on BBC America.

This is like the British Invasion all over again!!

@artybee Imagine an ill-tempered captain Ahab in a typhoon cooking three star meals

He gets bleeped in the UK. Most people have stopped watching him. He’s not on the BBC. The BBC has a much better class of chef. http://www.bbc.co.uk/food/chefs

TV seems to turn decent chefs into caricatures of themselves…Gordon Ramsay, Emeril Lagasse, Bobby Flay, etc.

My cat enjoys watching Gordon Ramsey. After the show she shows her affection by rubbing my ankles and swearing.

Watched Gordon do his gig once no need to do it again. I can cook better the he does anyway.

Does this household really need a television set? Does any household?
GROG Premium Member over 13 years ago
Mine does, odeliasinone. It’s the only way to watch DVD’s and football games.

Oh Lord, don’t let her get a look at Anthony Bourdain’s “No Reservations”.

I dunno, Grog. I just bought a big monitor and do it all from the computer. Can’t think of the last time I turned on the TV.
GROG Premium Member over 13 years ago
Bob Ames I don’t use my monitor to watch television. For one, I like to be comfortable and not sitting at my desk. Secondly, it makes it hard to do other things on the computer when you’re watching TV. I don’t use my computer to play music either. I have a stereo system for that.
By the way, have you seen any 60” monitors? Or even 37”?

Danae’s real favorite game is Let’s Give Daddy a Headache.

If anyone needs to get rid of a word earworm, you can always start humming the theme from ‘The Banana Splits’. It’s guaranteed to drive everything else from your head… for days possibly.

@freeholder1 - The Playmates! “While riding in my Cadillac, what to my surprise…”
rgcviper over 13 years ago
Ha–that’s funny. (Maybe not so great for Danae to be saying, but funny.)

My TV burned in a house fire in 95,. it took me over a year to get re-established. Some how along the way I lost the TV addiction. I’ve never owned one since and every time I hear about someone like this Ramsay character I have less desire to ever pick it up again :)
laojim over 13 years ago
Who???
lin4869 over 13 years ago
PBS has some good television selections IMHO, plus I enjoy the high-def clarity for watching sporting events. :-)
freeholder1 over 13 years ago
Got it, Moby. I forgot who it was exactly. Almost forgot it was a Nash Rambler as well.
Point of information: GR IS on BBC America, since they’ve been advertising him today during my Star Trek nostalgia fest.

Why anyone would watch an English chef is beyond me. Have you tasted English food? “Boil the salad green for 20 minutes…then add boiled tomaaaahhhhtoes….”
JP Steve Premium Member over 13 years ago
I called it two days ago!
Destiny23 over 13 years ago
She needs to pop over to Stone Soup and join in their game of Swear Word Scrabble! Bet she could teach Holly and Alix a few new ones…
wacorley over 13 years ago
There are some excellent English restaurants. But I can’t stand Gordon Ramsay. What a jerk! Can’t understand why he is so popular. He is on BBC America, but I wish he weren’t. I tend to agree with the writer above about someone burying a meat cleaver in Ramsay’s head! I am not so uptight that I don’t use some colorful language every once in a while, but I see no reason to use the “F” word in every other sentence.
ilsapadu over 13 years ago
For Danae’s sake, pull the plug. She partakes too much of the tube. Only let her watch Dark Shadows, it’s right up her butt, er ally.
firedome over 13 years ago
hmm…if danae has just discovered gordon ramsay, maybe we can get her interested in top gear…or maybe doctor who…
vldazzle over 13 years ago
Ramsey is fun! Not much cooking info (for that I like Alton Brown)
smoothpate over 13 years ago
@vldazzle Don’t care much for Ramsey, plus how can anyone take him seriously as a “chef” when he was beaten in a cooking contest by Top Gear’s Captain Slow (aka James May)!!!!!
alan.gurka over 13 years ago
I thought she was imitating the Road Runner.
