Re: the Penismobile (hee!):
If Ryan's car is the Penismobile, what should we call the repetitive…um, jerky motion that was happening below screen? For shame, Ryan. And right in front of Kendall too. heh. Could this mean that Frankenbrow finally caught on to The Kinks and is resigned to his secondary role in Kendall's love life? heh.
I'm curious as to when Crazee Eyez had time to think about buying the penismobile in the first place. It's been, what, 4 days (PV time) since he became Lord Ryan again? And in the interim he’s been saving Kendall, searching for Erica, retrofitting pool tables, eating corndogs, saving Bianca, condescending to any woman in sight, etc… Sure, he has minions for that sort of pedestrian stuff now, but still. And what does it say about Ryan that he did take time, in the middle of all of this drama, to think about the penismobile? Shallow prick.
ETA: Is it physically impossible for CamMat to modulate his voice? He seems to have only two volumes, screech and whisper. When asked to convey "sensitive and caring," all he is capable of bringing is the whisper and the extra-bugged eyez.

Every time they say how perfect Mimo/Bess is, I just want to yell "yeah, for a preemie...it's AMAZING. Idiots." it's just a soap, it's not real-I know.
Not that I wish to defend the writing, but there was a mention from the doctor who first examined Bessimo--he said something along the lines "Fortunately, despite her being a preemie, her heart and lungs are fully developed" to JR. Babe probably conceived at the beginning of August, and Bianca delivered a week and a half early, so the two women aren't that far apart. Still not that plausible, but the greater implausibilities of everyone taking Pugly's word for it that Bessimo is Babe's, and Kendall's completely uncharacteristic disinterest in wrecking Pugly's life in revenge, bug me more overall.
And what does it say about Ryan that he did take time, in the middle of all of this drama, to think about the penismobile? Shallow prick.
Don't forget buying furniture for his place, too. I hate Lord Ryan. For someone who said he didn't want the Cambias estate, he's sure spending a lot of money.
I found it interesting how Anita found Mauria's infidelity explanation to be an "it's not you, it's me" copout, only to have Bianca recite this exact line when she doesn't want to let Greenlee hold Mimo. I don't know what to make of it, really. Probably just a coincidence.
Well, perhaps it was coincidence that they both said that line in the same episode, but Bianca did say that line as a cop-out, to spare Greenlee's feelings. She implied as much when she told Kendall outright that she wouldn't let Greenlee hold Mimo, but that she wanted Kendall to hold Mimo because of Kendall's place in Mimo's life. In short, it was very much a "Kendall is more important in our lives than Greenlee" decision. Hee.
Oh, and the sweeps thing --
kariyaki, yes, I meant July. I always get a little screwed up because that's the month that breaks from the usual every-three-months pattern of sweeps. And while sweeps are going away, an excellent thing, that process likely will take two years or so to complete.
kariyaki
Apr 19, 2004 @ 1:02 pm
Yeah, I figured. I just found it weird that they would have Anita call the line a copout and then have Bianca say that exact phrase, but not intend it as a copout. Of course, Mauria did say that it had some truth to it and wasn't always a copout.
Black Knight
Apr 19, 2004 @ 1:07 pm
Actually, I do think that line was intended as a cop-out on Bianca's part. She didn't want to hurt Greenlee's feelings, so instead of admitting that she simply doesn't view Greenlee as close enough to her or the baby to let Greenlee hold her (especially since Binks had just ducked Greenlee's whole "I want to be sisters" appeal), she went on about how she couldn't bear the thought of letting Mimo out of her arms. But she had no problem--nay, was eager, about Kendall holding their lovechild. Heh.
So, even though Bianca basically implied through her later dialogue to Kendall that her line to Greenlee was a cop-out, perhaps Anita's own scene was intended at least partially to help point that out to the viewers.

Ah, an ep that inspired many emotions:
Joy: Livia! Eeeeeeee! She knows what a manipulative, user-bitch her niece is. My love for Liv grew to insane proportions when she ratted Dani's sorry ass out. Sure, Reggie will be the one catching the heat but at least Liv's not being fooled by Dani, unlike Derrek's dumb, daughter whipped tail. I loved the Greens/Reggie stuff too. Good to see worthless Jack back.
Laughter (okay, not an emotion but work with me here): Jamie/Mags. I'm gonna buck the trend and wish for more JAM scenes. That was the funniest, most incomprehensible shit I've seen in a while. I laughed 'til tears were flowing, man. The JAM scenes were perfect for clearing the palate after the knife-to-the-gut Kinks/Ryan scenes. There's just something too damn funny about two wastes of space talking about wuuuuuuuuuuuv when the people they 'love' really could give less of a shit. Thank you, JAM. I really needed the laugh.
Anger/Depression: The anger part was all over the place. Ryan got most of it but my dear Kendall got yelled at a bit too. I know it's unfair, since Kendall doesn't know what we do, but I was screeching for her suspicious mind to make a reappearance. Have some doubts, something! Poor Binks, losing her baby (again!), realizing (wrongly) she's off her nut, AND getting a fresh boatload of guilt about baby-napping her new BF's baby all in the same ep! That girl is a pain overachiever, man. Argh, I yelled at the TV a lot this ep. "Don't listen to 'em, Binks! Cro-mag Boy and your pretty, pretty GF don't know what the hell they're talking about!" ricocheted around my house a fair bit.
Hate: Krystal. Nuff said. Oh, and JR bugged me too. Yeah, blah blah it's-his-babycakes. I don't care, I want him to shut up. I do get a kick at how whipped Babe has him though. She won't let him get his rage on at any of the pretty women. Hee, choke on your rage, sissy boy.

Livia just rules. At least someone is calling Danielle on her crap. This Danielle/Reggie thing is just not working for me. I don't see it as a developing love story--I see it as Reggie being duped and led astray by Danielle who is just looking to rebel against her parents for the hell of it.

No...thank you,
Mystic0. I never saw their scenes like that. Your take on the JAM scenes were a much needed laugh for me.
Although it was tres sad to see Mimo taken away from Bianca yet again, I didn't really feel terribly sad...maybe it was the background music that took away from those scenes. Don't get me wrong, it was sad...just not heartbreaking.
And JR...Shut.Up! My lust for you dissipated slightly today. Quit being such a bitch to Anita! Listen to your wife and keep quiet. Just look pretty. Oh and about Babe...well she's got all kinds of love from me. She's so understanding about everything happening with Bianca...its too bad she's married to Prick JR.
Dani...I can do without you! Get off my screen! Do they really expect us to care about what is happening with Danielle while all this shit is going on with Bianca. Dani, I could care less about you! How dare they cut from an emotional Kinks & Mimo scene to Dani and Livia. I like Livia but Dani, move it on out!
News on my wife, Lena:
I just read over at SS that Lena will get the phone call tomorrow that will soon take her away from Pie Balley. She gets a call from her mother telling her that she wants Lena to take her back to Poland. Of course all of Lena's scenes are with Naggie. Fah Q, McTrash...you are so redundant!

I honestly think that phrase has a double meaning. Because while it's true that in it's "copout" interpretation, Bianca doesn't yet trust Greenlee enough to allow her into the K-M inner circle, it's also about Bianca herself in that she wants Kendall to get first crack at Mimo-holding.
And I have now officially run that line into the ground with overinterpretation.

Which it soooo isn't but whatever) Well, I liked it from an acting choice perspective anyway.
Can you imagine what tomorrow will be like? Bianca having to hand over 'Bess' (who she

Tomorrow- Olga spends her 2nd to last air date carrying the troll.
From Betzz:
For Tuesday:
Well, we have Lena for tomorrow. Bianca is standing holding the baby and Babe is trying to get her to bring the baby to her. Adam comes in and makes a scene (I so hate that bastard) Bianca kinda hugs the baby to her, then Lena comes in and to me it seems like when Bianca sees her that's when she takes the baby to Babe.
Lena is just standing there beside you know who. Babe and Bianca go to Babe's room to talk and Lena gets a phone call. Next time we see her she is standing by the pay phone crying. Maggie comes up and asks if its her Mother and if she's worse. Lena says yes and she wants me to take her to Poland. Maggie says you can't Bianca needs you. Lena says I know Bianca needs me and I won't leave her and I told my Mother that.
Black Knight
Apr 19, 2004 @ 3:11 pm
Hey Naggie, shut up. It's Lena's decision to make, not yours. And you know full well Bianca would be the first one to say that Lena should go be with her mother, so your guilt-tripping is even more repellent.
I suppose I should at least give her credit for not jumping at this chance to separate Lena from Bianca, but y'know, it's Naggie.
Also, shut the fuck up, Adam. Bianca brought the baby back, so let up on the girl. Sheesh.
I am looking forward to tomorrow's BaBi scenes, though. Eden and Alexa should rock.

Don't insult us, McTrash by pretending that you even give a shit about this. Giving Lena lines like "Bianca needs me" is just further humiliating the character. Yeah, good, you made a big fool out of the lesbo who keeps hanging around for the woman who has pretty much cut her out of her life. The casual little smooch awhile ago, the lines that they're "dating", Lena's bedside vigil, all mean nothing because you destroyed these characters months ago. Bastard.
Ugh, I'd rather see Lena be killed off than witness the humiliation of her upcoming scenes. It's just all so unsatisfying.

My favorite thing today was Bianca yelling "What's wrong with you Ryan?!"
I do get a kick at how whipped Babe has him though. She won't let him get his rage on at any of the pretty women. Hee, choke on your rage, sissy boy.
I hope he's this whipped when it comes time to give the baby back to Bianca. I assume he won't want to when it comes down to it, especially given his line today about "No one's ever going to take her away from us again." or something like that. Shut up JR. I'm gradually losing all sympathy I have for The Chandlers in this mess. JR chewing out Anita didn't help matters either. The only ones I'm feeling sympathy for are the babies, Babe and Bianca.
Who was the brilliant poster who, a while back, predicted Naggie attempting to comfort Bianca by talking about how she'd once had a pet hamster that died?
That was me. The scenes between her and Jamie today were laughable, but so pathetic. I suppose it's better to have them inflicting their pathetic selves on each other, rather than the rest of the town.
Bianca/Mimo was sad today, but tomorrow I'm sure is going to be to so much worse.
On a completely shallow note: AH is looking mighty purty these days. She looks so much better with her hair and make-up toned down. She really is quite stunning. That infection can't have been too bad, because hair is super shiny now.
Black Knight
Apr 19, 2004 @ 3:54 pm
I expect JR to go full-on mini-Adam when the truth comes out and insist on trying to keep custody. Adam actually won't be all that interested in keeping Miranda, though he has bonded with her, because she isn't a blood Chandler. But I bet JR plays the "You're always talking about how you want to be a father to me, so help me keep this baby" card. Aside from the consideration of what a shitty thing that is to do, it's too bad because mini-Adam/dictator BS is exactly what JY is worst at playing. He yells and he just isn't believable as someone who actually wields any power in Pine Valley. When he's just playing JR as a nice average kinda guy, it's within his range and he's likable.
Tad's involvement in the SL, on the other hand, is kinda cool because he's been through these custody battles with the Chandlers before and warned Liza at one point about a trick Adam had pulled on Dixie, so he can advise the Kane-Montgomerys similarly. All the battle lines are totally being drawn now.
I'm not fond of the shade of lip color Babe's using at the moment, but I agree that overall she's looking just beautiful these days, especially in contrast to how sick she looked before. Speaking of which, SOW gave the AMC makeup people some praise in last week's issue for the work they did on Eden and Alexa. Those are the eps that AMC should submit for next year's Emmy makeup category.

Enjoy Ryan and Kendall while you can, it will not last long despite a rumored marriage proposal.
As I keep hearing, the real reason for the baby switch is the cross over plot. That involves Babe's kid, not Bianca's. Look for Bianca to get back her baby sometime in May. The real battle will be for Baby Chandler/Buchanan, and that is the one that will drag on for a while. I guess we will know in about 3-4 weeks.
Look for Brooke and Adam, not Brooke and Thorsten Kaye's character, Zachery.
Despite the horrible things things she has done regarding the babies true identity, Krystal is indeed the woman who will win the Tad Sweepstakes.

Really? My least favorite thing about Babe is that her hair and her skin are the exact same damn color. It's freakish. People with hair bleached to a lighter shade than their skin is bad enough, but same-color hair and skin looks unnatural.

I just have to say that I can't stand Ryan and how he is making this baby thing all about him. I don't trust him as far as his gargantuan forehead. I hate the way that he talks to Kinks. I hate him so damn much. He thinks he was there for Bianca during the trial and pregnancy? I don't think so Frankenbrow. Kinks do not need Ryan when dealing with each other. These two sisters have been through hell and back with no one but themselves, they can handle this. So Ryan can step the fuck off.

My least favorite thing about Babe is that her hair and her skin are the exact same damn color. It's freakish.
It seems like ever since Babe woke up, they've colored her hair. I was thinking that her hair color was looking a little darker lately, more golden, and that she actually looked really nice. Or it could be that they have her hair styled less trashy and more normal looking, so it looks better.
I just read TV Guide's On Soaps and they talk about Erica becoming a showgirl...a very short showgirl.
And a
very old showgirl. The idea of her becoming a
showgirl is hysterical. You can't just become a showgirl. You actually have to be a dancer. You have to be in shape. Darcy's like a cross between SoapBoy and EOnline's Wanda.

He actually says in his Eye Spy column that he gets all of his info from magazines, the internet, and alleged insider sources. Considering that he has yet to offer one bit of information that hasn't been posted somewhere else first, other than his own innane speculation, I seriously doubt he has any kind of insider sources. That leaves magazines and internet. In that case anyone can take the stuff the read elsewhere post it on the internet and call it a scoops column. Sigh. I miss Sage's column.

Hmm, the Babe hair debate. To prove I'm schizo, I'm gonna agree with everyone. Her hair *is* the same color as her skin (which is disconcerting) and she looks beautiful. But I gotta say, for sheer Babe hotness, give me rain soaked, disheveled and trapped-in-a-cabin Babe. Yes, ma'am! Me
like. It wasn't quite the good scenery as sweaty, writhing, tank top Binky but it was still Babe at her hottest to me. Which still isn't nearly as hot as post-kaboom, sooty Kendall. Rowr!
Tomorrow looks to be more pain but add me to the list of people looking forward to the Babe/Binks scenes. I really like their scenes together and their friendship. Babe/Bianca are ever so much more interesting than BAM. Sure, you can say that both Mags and Babe are kinda stupid and veering toward slutty but Babe, at least, has her own life (big ol' mess that it is) and some intriguing complications to bring to the friendship.

There is no way Kendall would stand back (her emotions were in check) and let Ryan "get through" to Bianca!! She just stood there while Bianca fell apart. I yelled at the TV several times: 1) when Ryan reached out to Binks "Get your hands off of her!" 2, 3, 4) "Kendall, go HUG her!" ARGH. That was so not true to our Kinks. I mean, beyond our perviness, TPTB have spent the last 8 months showing us that Bianca and Kendall can do anything if they face it together...and Ryan is the one in Bianca's face. Bianca is begging Kendall for help and there is Ryan.

I knew. I just knew. As soon as Fucking Ryan walked in, I knew that Kendall would have to step aside and Let The Man Handle This. Never mind the trust and bond that Bianca has with Kendall and that Kendall is the logical choice as the one that would be able to get through to Bianca. What a fuckwad to interfere, and how typical of McTrash, drooling with lust for CamMath (only way I can explain her obsession for an actor who can't emote anything but a glare) to keep ramming him down our throats.

Yep, that pretty much went as I expected. Bianca was devastating. She should patent that chin quiver - that alone has me in tears every time. Kendall rocked the acting part, but the fact that she seemed determined to let it be The Ryan Show still had me screaming at my TV. Yeah, Bianca did give Ryan some glares, but the only way it would've been worth it for me to have him be the one to deliver the news is if she had bitch-slapped him right out the window. You know she could do it, too.
I'm actually looking forward to Babe and Bianca's scenes together tomorrow. Their friendship is already more interesting and complicated than BAM's entire history. Heh. Poor Maggie, that line in front of her to Bianca is getting longer and longer.
WW was more convincing and heartbreaking in that one 10 second scene than Frankenbrow has been the entire two days. Stupid puppet man. I'm just glad that Bianca has at least ONE solid parental figure in her life for this mess. I don't know what the heck happened to Myrtyl.

The JAM scenes yesterday cracked me up also. It wasn't just the pathetic acting, it was also the dialogue. The writers clearly have no respect for these two characters (and who can blame them?). Even self-absorbed Erica, emotionally-stunted Greenlee, and teenage Reggie have all had deeper, more articulate thoughts about love and other emotions. Naggie and Jamie sounded like five-year-olds. Very, very funny.
Telling little foreshadowing bit when Tad typed JR's name into the computer, thought about it, and then deleted "JR" and typed "Adam, Junior" instead. Ya think that JR and Krystal will remember, when the time comes, that Bianca willingly handed back Bessimo when told that the baby was not hers, and accord Bianca the same courtesy? Yeah, me neither.
The penthouse scenes made me feel awful for Bianca, and furious at everyone else. Frankenbrow in particular, but I have to admit to wanting to slap Kendall, too, much as I love her and though I know this isn't her fault. When Frankenbrow wore Bianca down by pointing out that they wouldn't lie to her, I was furious because while that is true, they're only saying what they believe is the truth, since they and everyone else have been too dumb to get a blood test done first, before shattering Bianca's heart--twice. Geez, make sure first before telling a mother her baby is dead, will ya? In some ways, yesterday's episode was worse than the original Kendall-tells-Bianca ep, since Miranda was right there this time, and they kept cutting between her and Bianca's face. I loved when Bianca said that Miranda had her eyes and her nose--I was hoping for a glimmer of "I thought the same thing" on Kendall's face at that, but nada. Sigh. Frankly, I hope Bianca slaps a lot of people silly when someone finally tells her that there was a question originally about who Bessimo belonged to, and that everyone went on Paul's word. Gah. I almost--almost--wished that Kinks aren't as close as they are, since that's what ultimately convinced Bianca that her baby is not in fact her baby. When Bianca crouched down and looked at Miranda and said, "Bess"? [Fin]That's just wrong.[/Fin]
I did like the fierce look on Kendall's face, though, when Bianca was worrying about being put away, and her assuring her girlfister that they were not going to let anybody hurt her. Yup, battle lines being drawn all over the place. Did anyone notice, by the way, that on the table with Bessimo's "crib" was the frame that has the two pictures of Kendall and Bianca? Nice little nod to the TwoMommies Kinks.
Uncle Foo Foo was typical Uncle Foo Foo, but Walt was wonderful. When Greenlee/Reggie were telling him about Bianca, and he brought up Erica twice in response, I was like, "Dude, big picture here." Loved the Greenlee/Reggie scenes, as well as the Frye clan scenes. Livia rocks so much.
Why did everyone feel the need to gather around to watch this painful moment of Bianca handing the baby over to Bess and JR? Ugh, way too public. Some of them need to take a page from Brooke's book.

Babe must be the best friend ever. I mean seriously. I didn't expect her to be mad at Bianca, but she went above and beyond the call here. To think how much I disliked the character when she first came on. Now, I'm thinking about how much my heart's going to be breaking for her when she finds out Bess is Miranda. Who knew? (Not that I don't want Mimo back in Bianca's arms, stat, but I think Babe is going to be just as much of a victim in this story.)

Ok, I have read so much about the KRYSTAL HATE CLUB in these last few pages I just wanted to chime in with my own view on the story.
I can see how they are writing this so Krystal is going to do anything for her daughter. But also, they are showing how much she is bothered by the reality of the situation. She is not without a heart in this matter....she just is being shown soul searching while it happens.
I think it would have been highly unbelievable if Tad would mention that Bess might be Mimo and everyone immediately agreed with him. If the problems on soaps were resolved so quickly then we would not see the charecter development and relationships.
What Krystal is doing for Babe is not that different than what Erica was doing for Bianca....going on instinct to protect thier children....at all costs....and actually this is almost Adam's entire purpose on the show these days....to be a huge ass to anyone or anything that may harm his kids.....or grandkids as it were.
So, big love to BE for her portrayal and making the most out of a thankless storyline.

Yes, BE is doing a good job. Still. This is sooo torture the already tortured and then torture them some more! It's making me want to skip today- Olga's 2nd to last. Then I am thinking about only tuning in for great Kinks days and Olga's last day until Bianca get Mimo back. And how bad is THAT?

I may be the voice of dissent here but the idea of Babe 'sharing' Bessimo with Bianca is well...asinine. Don't get me wrong, I think what Babe is trying to do is so giving and loving and unselfish but only in soap land would someone think that somebody else's baby will help you get over the death of your baby. If I lost a child, I wouldn't want anyone to come 'share' their child with me. But Babe, I still heart you...tremendously. I like how she is able to rein in Adam Jr.
Adam...you are such an asshole. And I luuuv it! I like how he went right for Bessimo when Bianca brought her in...."I'm the baby's grandfather, I'll take her!" He had me cracking up. Very couth Adam, very couth. He was very offensive to everyone and I like that. He's like the Rocket Romano of Pie Balley.
Oh, my wife Lena finally got the call that will take her the hell away from Pie Balley. Some advice to Lena: Go get your mother and take her to Poland. Go where you are wanted and needed. Oh and you have a tacky tumor on your back... I think it calls itself Naggie. You might want to get that checked out.
Somebody please peel Naggie off Lena's leg!

I was dry eyed yesterday until Jack came in and hugged Bianca. Waaah!
Soapboy is saying that by the end of summer, the Fusion Four will be down to two. That rumor's been swirling for a while now so I'm refusing to believe it until it actually happens. Not that I give a shit about Mia, natch, but Simone....Simone!
Despite the horrible things things she has done regarding the babies true identity, Krystal is indeed the woman who will win the Tad Sweepstakes.
Again, refuse to believe it until it happens. It just depresses me too much.

Yeesh, I only had twenty minutes to watch my tape on my break, so the Fryes, Lena, Kryan/Jack, and JAM got the temporary FF boot. I just zoomed in on the money shots, y'all.
Eeeeeeeeee! Kendall was Kinks!Kendall again! All hot, reassuring and protective. That's my girl. Thank you Pervy! Plus, even in FF, you could see Kendall zoning out during Jack's Erica 101 snoozer. I am so over Erica and her freakin' issues, Jack.
Adam? I know you were worried about your grandkid. I get that, really. But there *is* a difference between Bianca (your step-kid twice over, who you know) and the Hillside Strangler. You are just being a prick above and beyond the need for prickishness. Bianca scared you? She's sorry. Your need to punish her after the fact is a startling case of asshole-ism. I'm not digging you, buddy. You, either, JR. You whipped, prick-in-training. Grrr....
Babe is just confounding. I don't get her at all. Has she really never had any friends? Is this the way she really is? It's beyond sweet that she is all forgiving and wants Binks to be involved in Bess' life but some of her requests are just cruel. She has good intentions but argh, man. Bianca's look as she tried to process Babe was priceless. Bianca's not crazy but everyone else just might be. 'Cept Kendall sans Ryan. She's sane.
That said, Babe/Binks are hot. What? Did you really think I was going to make it through a post without saying something shallow? You should just be thankful I spared you the Kinks hotness speech. Heh.

I believe so. Look at her mother. Does Krystal have any friends? Any FEMALE friends? Nope. That's the thing when you're the town's village bicycle, the women don't much like you. Boobe seems to be a bit smarter in that she realizes there's more to life than racking up notches on one's bedpost. She's now seen both sides of the coin and would rather have a family and friends.

Dudes... Kinks is such a great open relationship! Loved how Kendall wouldn't let anyone near her girlfister to share in the fondling until Bianca said it's alright if Babe does ... then ... BOY did she ever! Alexa is very much handsy and flirty hiptilting tword our Binks. Plus- the petting! Her hands don't just demurely pet the back with hetlike strokage ... they firmly wander and stroke with confidence. These two are a pairing, y'all. Perhaps Babe will wake up to what a miniAdam JR is becoming. He was cruel to her before ... and now, he'll be cruel to her girlfriend Bianca. That should serve to push them together!
Maggie? Useless once again. Bianca has a new best friend. For once, Adam had the right advice: Go bang Jaime in an ambulance for all we care.
Olga? Waaaaah. It hurts. Hurts, I tell you.
The real HIGH stakes soap triangle? Lena goes to care for mom with an I love you and blah blah wonderfulcakes sendoff. Then, Babe and Bianca bond over shared!Mess ... Babe and JR fight when the swap is discovered and she moves in with Bianca - with whom she continues to share Mess, only now Bianca is the primary. kendall? Totally on her girlfister's side, has it in for JR. After that, just when Binks and Babe start getting physical almost and falling for each other accidentally, LENA returns and ... conflicted feelings ensue. Will Babe go back to JR? Will Lena still be Bianca's kickpuppy or stand up for herself? Who does Bianca really love? Other than Kendall ... who will get to be mommy #2?

Only if that means Kendall bangs JR silly. Yes, I still ship those two, stop looking at me.
