She's totally out of it. She's thinking, "Dude, you'd better get this job or I get half your stuff."

Scottish actress Louise Linton

Wrote a book. Not well received.

Linton faced global controversy in July after she self-published In Congo's Shadow: One Girl's Perilous Journey to the Heart of Africa, co-written with Wendy Holden. She intended the book about her gap year to be "the inspiring memoir of an intrepid teenager who abandoned her privileged life in Scotland to travel to Zambia." But she described hiding from Hutu militiamen, writing that, if discovered, "I would be raped. I would be cut down. Smirking men with deadened eyes would brutalize me before casting me aside like a rag doll."

A Washington Post opinions editor called the book "the defining work of the White-Savior-in-Africa genre for the digital age." The website Okay Africa dismissed Linton as a "delusional white memoirist." Citing erroneous elements in the book — such as placing the Tutsi-Hutu conflict in Congo rather than Rwanda — critics fired off denunciations that went viral with the hashtag #LintonLies. Linton withdrew the book and restricted access to her Twitter account.

that is exacerbated by nervousness or stress. I bet the people who work for him are very familiar with it.

They say poker players have a "tell" that appears when they have a good hand or are bluffing. I told my husband his lips were just reflecting what his butt hole is doing...puckering every time he thinks about the grilling he is getting!
