Q: Tell me, Walter Scott, is it true that so-and-so has an amazing new movie coming to a theater near me? The very thought thrills me to my tiny little toes!

A: Get your toes ready, because that hot young star so-and-so not only has the best new movie in ages, but also has a cute publicist willing to show nipple in order to get he client this plug in Parade magazine.

Q: I always loved Red Skelton.

A: I loved him so much I put his pic beside this meaningless blurb. And I write Skelton slash. View all this and more at www.redskeltonwillneverdie.com

lol love parade.

I've always been tempted to actually send in something to "Walter Scott" or whoever the hell he is (rumors about him being some right-wing nut, not surprising).

I've always wondered: do Lauren Graham and Alexis Bledel still keep in touch now that Gilmore Girls has ended?

Whenever such burning questions arise, Walter is the right man to ask, for sure.

Is Walter Scott still alive or is he one of those mummified people who has someone else writing for him? Since I read all news online now I am missing out!

RIP

Klein's book The Kennedy Curse described Bessette Kennedy "sprawled on the floor in front of a sofa, disheveled and hollow-eyed, snorting cocaine with a gaggle of gay fashionistas."

"gaggle"

When I was a little kid, I thought the pic of Marilyn vos Savant made her look like such a gorgeous, glamorous, sexy woman!

Don't forget Mr. vos Savant!

Both Abbott and Pleasant Plains posting in this thread = very much in character.

wtf she married beatless?

I found out about a lot of bands in seventh grade from Walter Scott's Personality Parade. I think, in retrospect, that some of these were PR plants. Who writes in and says "Hi Walter Scott can you tell me about this new band Swirl 360?"

walter scott is poisoning our mormon youth

thread needs a pic of this woman, love her

She is like a long-haired Enya.

Now I wish I knew why Craig Ferguson was fed up with technology.

I was very upset when someone asked her the famous riddle, "as I was going to St. Ives, I met a man with seven wives [etc...] how many were going to St. Ives?", and her answer was some awful cop-out like, "something is fishy about your story. if you're going to St. Ives, then logically the only strangers you'll meet face-to-face are the ones who are traveling in the opposite direction, i.e. away from St. Ives. but if you and the man are both going to St. Ives, then either (1) one of you will be so far ahead of the other that you'll never catch sight of each other, or (2) one of you will briefly pass the other on the road, but even then you won't come face-to-face, and you'll barely have time to say "hello" before the faster man leaves the slower one in his dust. conclusion: either you lied when you said you met the man, or you lied when you said you were both going to St. Ives. the number of kits, cats, sacks, and wives is beside the point."

I mean c'mon Marilyn, either answer the question properly (which should be a piece of cake for a genius like you) or toss it out because it's too tired and old for a column like yours. Parade magazine is no place for nitpicking and snark, regardless of what Howard Huge's handlers have led you to believe.

What a dumb answer. Of course you can meet people who are going the same way. Someone is a genius and never read any Crusade stories.

Never got Parade in my local Sunday paper, it was always USA Weekend spun off from USA Today.

This one was always a bit boring and mostly contains mail away forms from the Franklin Mint rather than actual articles.

One time I sent a riddle to Marilyn! She figured it out.

What was your riddle, Stevie?

It's so lame and embarrassing ibdpnt even want to say

I don't, rather

SHe is pretty famous in my mind for getting the Monty Hall problem wrong.

Like it was the Parade Magazine equivalent of a clusterfuck, the response to that. So exciting!

If someone can work some google juju and find the thing I sent in I'd be pretty jazzed though

Never got Parade in my local Sunday paper, it was always USA Weekend spun off from USA Today.

Actually, it's an older weekly (called Family Weekly or something like that) that USA Today bought and rebranded.

Today's ASK MARYLIN is a "Y'all buncha dumbasses" special.

SAMPLE QUESTIONS:

Why are the Three Musketeers always depicted with swords? Why not mustkets? - Burbank, Calif.

The city of Toldeo, Ohio is urging its residents to lose weight to the tune of one million pounds. With that much weight exiting our planet from such a small location, could it alter the Earth's orbit around the Sun? - Swanton, Ohio

This shows me that MARILYN VOS SAVANT is adaptable to her audience.

Thanks, Toledo!

Is she still claiming to have an IQ of 220 despite the fact that the scale tops off at 200? An IQ of 220 would be like a temperature of 400 degrees below absolute zero.

She earned the 220 IQ by doing extra credit.

funny how when you visit her site and click the link "Marilyn photo galleries: celebrating three decades of Marilyn," you're directed to literally hundreds of photos of her, and every single one of them is from the years 1986 to 1990. it's a shame too, because recent photos of her show a person who has aged gracefully, without the tired eyes and deep forehead lines you'd expect from someone who spends all her waking hours wrestling with the question of whether cats in in different countries meow in different accents.

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.

*do* cats in in different countries meow in differnet accents?

There's a drawing in this week's edition of a woman on all fours in front of a man's feet, and it took me a second to figure out it was part of some sort of "housewife boot camp" feature.

Maybe not "all fours", but it did take a second for it all to register.

no one knows. sometimes her column runs a feature collecting questions that were too hard or too goofy for her to solve, and the cat question was one of them.

Automatic thread bump. This poll's results are now in.

I always figured "Walter Scott" was http://www.matadorrecords.com/matablog/wp-content/uploads/2009/03/harvey_head_big.jpg

I have it on good authority that Mark E Smith's cat goes "eeee-ach"
