Seems like she was on one episode of MG7x too many...

What does this even mean?

But I could be wrong.

That's just a guess on my part though. I can take my two pennies back, if need be. ;)

1) That's a rabbit hole I really don't need to dive into.

2) That would make sense if appearances on Match Game were the only thing that Fannie Flagg did that was worthwhile. I wouldn't expect him to know that she was a published author as recently as 2013. Maybe she should have done a book signing in Cincinnati.

Post by: PYLdude on April 26, 2016, 11:29:23 PM: I read that Brian felt the joke was inappropriate for the newspaper. Hence why he felt the need to mention Fannie's connection with Match Game because of the direction some of the humor went.

Still 100% crap either way.
