Did you purposely find the absolutely worst pic of Shep or did you Photoshop in the ugliness? (More Geraldo Effect?)

Coop rules, btw!

Valium, Jeff. Sweet valium.

Regarding Don’t Sweat the Small Stuff: I once read a book about how to make more time in your life for writing. The gist of it was, don’t do housework. In the scheme of things, what’s more impt, right? Well I’m sorry, I can’t work in a pigsty, & don’t have a mind that can shut out dishes strewn from one end of the kitchen to the other, unlogged receipts & check stubs swimming around the turbid sea of my desktop, or dirty clothes that have seeming being ejected & rained down from the caldera of filth in the closet.

I’m sorry but I don’t. Certain minimum standards are required to function.

I still have to pull for the Coop–man–yes –he got me on hello–and the homeless animals —?? What’s a single girl to do ???

shep is a southern boy from louisiana, new orleans, if i recall… so i think he has likely bloodied, and been bloodied, growing up.

i’d give him odds over the pampered one if it were a rough and tumble.

I shit you not, Agent. I read a whole thing on CNN about Anderson and his mother. She recently wrote a tell-all sex book that creeped him out at first, until he learned to embrace his mother’s, erm, erudition and stuff.

Another pitiful and little-known Vanderbilt fact: Anderson’s brother (younger, I think) died back in the late 80′s when he fell from a window or balcony in their high-rise. They think he was sleepwalking. Sad, no?

Boy, I’m just a complete repository of Anderson factoids, aren’t I? S’why my money’s still on Shep.

He’s Gloria Vanderbilt’s son? Holy crap!

Agreed. But in a standard duel with pistols and gloves-across-the-face etiquette, I’d have to go with Anderson Cooper.

For your average brawl, my money’s on Shep.

Kelley — Wed, 22 Feb 2006 23:21:29 +0000

My money’s on Smith, but only because Anderson is a pampered Park Avenue boy, scion of Vanderbilts. No, seriously, didja know he was Gloria Vanderbilt’s son? Yes, that Gloria Vanderbilt, with the jeans and the nauseatingly-sweet perfume in the swan bottle?

Yeah. Shep could take him.

Yeah, it is his mug shot. It was the only one where he didn’t look totally weak.

Is that Shep’s mugshot or something? He looks like crap.

guy guy…yes, I sometimes stutter in meatspace, too…

Being blessedly unfamiliar with both, my take was this: Anderson if it were a standard-rules boxing match; otherwise Shepard looks like the kinda guy guy who’d pull out a shiv (or at least a rusty spoon) while they were in the clinch…

Utron, I learned this from the Rocky movies:

ADRIAAAAAAANNNNNNNNNNN!

This is like asking who would in a fistfight: Sylvester Stallone’s scrawny, sexually ambigous kid brother; or Dolph Lundgren’s scrawny, sexually ambiguous kid brother?

I’m surprised you have to ask, Agent Bedhead. Did the Rocky movies teach you nothing?

Anderson has to go back to the 7pm slot.

Shep is only good on location.

I like them both equally ~~ think they are both compassionate guys and good journalists. I think they both have too much integrity to engage in a fight !

Vote…

You’ll be glad you did. ; ) Shep and Coop battle to the finish … the words bitch slap come to mind….

Ahhhh. Subtle differences, grasshopper.
