Stephanie Miller "skinny" comments... |
|
I've been listening to Stephanie Miller lately and I've heard a lot of banter from her and her sidekicks about her being "too skinny"... Is this some kind of inside joke that I may have missed? I've seem photos of Stephanie and I think she looks great! What gives?

7. That means a doctor with a recognized medical degree who also believes in magic. |
|
Apparently, both Elvira and Cher also go to this guy.

12. Then again, if he's kept Cher alive for this long, he must know what he's doing. |

Actually, what this usually means is a doctor who does what is necessary and prudent using Western / Evidence Based medicine to maintain the health of their patient, while prescribing them (usually) harmless placebos to put more money in their pocket.
Since much of their magic-based medicine isn't covered by insurance, what they'll do is give you the placebos for "free," but bill the insurance company for extra "consulting time."

16. insurance covers some of that crap because the placebo is cheaper than real treatment |
|
and if they have a serious illness, they're more likely to die because they didn't seek real treatment sooner, thereby saving the insurance company money.

2. Steph has lost some weight lately... |
|
In the clip of her calling Tweety a 'right wing tool' she looked noticably thinner. My wife says she's been on some fish diet or something...

4. She looked OK on TV but that adds 20 pounds -- when I imagine |
|
what she looks like in reality, she probably would seem pretty emaciated. I don't think ANY woman would joke about being "too thin" unless even they were a bit concerned themselves ...

13. I never thought Sarah Jessica Parker was too skinny until she was speaker at some event on TV |
|
and a friend of mine was sitting directly behind her. You could see the my friends ears on either side of SJP's ass, and my friend does not have an unusually wide head.

5. Supposedly she is down to 120 pounds and a size 0. |
|
Frankly, it's a little scary. You know it's bad when her sidekicks are making bad-taste Karen Carpenter jokes. :scared:

My hunch is that if it were serious, they wouldn't make jokes. :shrug:
