So I went on vacation to Ft. Lauderdale with a side of Disney week before last.  I am now officially broke and I have 5 days worth of General Hospital to watch that I haven’t yet found the time to slog through.  I didn’t stop watching the new stuff, I catch it in real time when I can and tape it when I can’t.  Consequently, I have a rather large hole in my viewership.  I’m telling you this because my column (and I use the term loosely) will probably seem rather loopy as I talk about what I’ve seen, what I’ve heard about and what’s kind of old but I just saw it so it’s new to me. 

You got all that?   

Good. 

Jax gets my nice guy award this week.  When Bridget asked him his opinion of Jason as a father, he didn’t trash him.  He told her that he would make a wonderful father and that several women that he cares about (intelligent women at that!) seemed to think Jason was great.  He had a perfect opportunity to just screw over one of his biggest rivals (behind Sonny of course – no pun intended) and he was a stand-up guy.  Too bad Court didn’t happen to overhear his remarks; it might have made a difference.  Anyway, I’m glad that the last impression I have of ole’ Jasper is a good one.  Seems like he’s on an extended trip (wink, wink) which may be payback from the writers for his remarks about being “burned out”.  Remember what happened in the Friends storyline when Joey told Soap Opera Digest that he wrote a lot of his own dialogue… karma’s a bitch. 

Usually a Helena siting puts me in a sublime mood.  I’m lovin’ seeing her royal evilness, but I find myself adistracted by those humongous Judy Jetson shoulder pad thingies on her black overcoat.  What are those things???  I keep expecting them to start flapping and take off or something.  Creepy. 

 

I love Jason with Sam.

 

Bridget is the most mature looking teen I’ve seen in a long time. She just doesn’t fit. And I’m like so totally sick and tired of hearing her use the words like and totally in every other sentence.  I like totally want to whack her upside her head  - totally. 

GH Wardrobe Department outdoes itself in the fugliest sweater category – was that Flower the skunk from the movie Bambi? 

I don’t see the pairing of Carly and Steven going anywhere.  They have zero chemistry.  Correction, they have negative chemistry.  I can’t help but see Steven as this gawky 13-year-old boy that’s trying to hit on some 18-year-old friend of his sister.  It’s just not working, and I guess if the spoilers are to be believed, it’s going to be a one time thang anyway –kind of like an appetizer before the main course… I hear Carly ordered the Coq au Lorenzo!   Woo hoo!! 

Appetizer 

Main Dish 

I know it wasn’t popular on all fronts, but the splitting up of Carly and Sonny has got to be the best thing to happen to those characters and actors since we had a Democrat in the Oval Office!  Carly suddenly seems to have a life of her own and something worth saying!!!  And Sonny – oh my, Sonny has finally figured out that the world does not revolve around him.  He’s thoughtful, he’s charming, the dimples are working overtime – hell, he even gives a shit about Jason and how his life is going.  After all this time, I’m finally starting to see what all the hullabaloo is about.  Mighty fine, that’s all I gots to say – Mighty fine.  

Speaking of mighty fine… me ‘n Kathy Hardeman have got a date with this boy come February 19th!!!  Actually we’ve got a date with Greggie, Teddy AND Ricalicious (and yes Kathy, I will call them that to their faces!)  Uh huh, that’s 3 of them and 2 of us – I better start taking my vitamins now.  I’d tell ya’ll where you can get tickets to see these hunka hunkas when they come to the Big D next month, but that would be operating counterproductive to my own self interests!   

Never let it be said that the best ideas are also smart ones – take for instance this AIM chat that I pulled from my desktop recycle bin:   

KellyB (7:32:13 PM): u there?

Katrina (7:32:20 PM): yup

KellyB (7:32:32 PM): hey - did you get my staff profile?

Katrina (7:32:57 PM): yep, posting it now

Katrina (7:35:02 PM): also

KellyB(7:35:13 PM): did you think i was gonna go pseudonym?

Katrina (7:35:23 PM): We've always posted you as KellyB

KellyB (7:35:23 PM): maybe some porn star name

Katrina (7:35:34 PM): so I thought it was a security thing

Katrina (7:35:41 PM): we should all use those porn name generators

Katrina (7:35:43 PM): to come up with our names

KellyB (7:36:01 PM): i smell an instant message column!!!

KellyB (7:36:12 PM): porn name generators for GH characters

Katrina (7:36:15 PM): lol

Katrina (7:36:19 PM): we should!!

Katrina (7:36:20 PM): you should!!

Katrina (7:36:24 PM): and hobbit names!

Katrina (7:36:30 PM): and mom names

Katrina (7:36:33 PM): and prison bitch names!

KellyB (7:36:40 PM): hehehe

KellyB (7:36:42 PM): slow down

KellyB (7:36:52 PM): don't hurt yourself

Katrina (7:36:52 PM): that should read "mob names"

KellyB  (7:36:57 PM): i was wondering… 

So I figured that I would run some of our beloved characters through the porn star name generator, just out of curiosity of course.  I limited it to peeps that had had some good onscreen lovin’ in the last few months. Besides, since we’ve had to suffer through Emily and Nik’s cheesy porn music every time they knock boots – it’s almost apropos.   I threw in Liz and Lucky as wannabes.  It made sense.  Here’s what I came up with. 

Pimps and Hos 

Sonny - Jamal Lipps

Carly - Sandy Slick

Jason - Hard John Hott

Sam - Busty Sparks

Courtney - Karen Head

Jax - Buck Velvet

Liz - Marcia Steele

Lucky - Victor Slams

Emily - Shannon Bottoms

Nikolas - Armand Might

Luke - Rod Cockney

Skye - Debbie Thong

Lorenzo - Hard Vegas

Lois - Holly LeVeaux

Ric - Orson Throb

Alexis - Cassie Lustley 

Just so you know, Katrina came up as Candy Samples and yours truly rocked out with… wait for it… 

Bambi Cummings. 

Maybe some things are better left in the trash! 

I crack myself up.
