![What's My Line? - Ralph Bellamy; Tony Randall [panel] (Sep 4, 1960)](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/lmi9lCl3nMI/mqdefault.jpg)
Later in life Eddie Bracken lived in Glen Ridge NJ and almost every day he would walk down to the local convience store to buy his newspaper and get a coffee.
I was a young Policeman.
One day he caught me staring at him because stupid me thought he looked like Roy Wally from National Lampoons Vacation.
Almost like he could read my mind he said " Goodmorning Officer my name is Eddie Bracken, but you think Im Roy Wally, you see Im an actor".
I was a bit embarrassed then went on to see what a wonderful actor for decades that he was.
We now were friends.
Until he passed we would chat - Eddie was just another guy from the neighborhood.
Love how much fun John has when the panelists are especially befuddled.
I love seeing Dorothy laugh.
She has a great smile, too.
"Just for the halibut."
Hahaha!!
You go, Hal!!
Haha 😂😂quick wit
I just re-watched this episode, thanks to a link in the WML FaceBook group. Eddie Bracken lived to be 87 years old, but today is the 103rd anniversary of his birth. (Feb. 7, 2018) I didn't remember this episode well at all, but it was a good one -- lots of fun! Nice to have this occasion to give me the incentive to watch it today. :-)
That guy with the glasses, Bennett, is a genius.
When Arlene had to wear a patch in 1960, John Daly mentioned Miss Hathaway of 1960. This is the first record of 4 times that Arlene wore an eye patch. Reported causes included Peter inadvertently poking her, shingles, and inflections from nail scrapes. In 1962, she sunburned her eyes in summer stock and appeared on a broadcast in sunglasses.
I had shingles on my chest. What a horror. A lot of pain. Lasted about three weeks. Started on my birthday the 24th of Dec. so had both my BD and Xmas ruined. Stupid doctor gave me nothing for the mental anguish and prescribed a lotion which was useless but cost $50 which was a tidy sum back then.
My wife made a lotion which was better than the expensive one and coincided with the affliction actually getting better. Shingles of the eye has to be even worse than what I endured.
With all the complaints about Hal Block by many (not all) of the posters, it was nice to hear about him having participated in a worthwhile money raising event for charity. And Hal was very gracious to share the credit.
Lois Simmons
Can’t deny that. Very classy indeed! But the Hal Block downside is larger than the upside.
If he could have kept himself in check, he could have stayed on the panel as long as he liked - but, alas, he couldn’t!
You gotta tailor your act to your audience, and he couldn’t or wouldn’t do that.
I wonder how many of WML’s female contestantsfound his act excessively boorish.
I'm a gal and I find his 'act' funny, however not suited for this show, he IS very amusing and quick wit@@lottalady73
Hal Block was a famous comedy writer. His style might not fit the panel -- but he was brought onto Whats My LIne to add some comedy to the show. He can't be blamed for being what he was -- the producers knew his style and initially it was thought to be a good idea. It is fortunate the the panel evolved to have such a perfect mix of regulars.... Rowby.
While his style did not fit in with the show, he was very clever and funny. He was an excellent panelist in terms of questions he asked. Also, I did notice after time that his flirtatious schtick was consistent with all female contestants, young and old. So he did look like a creeper when he did it to the younger ladies, he would compliment and flirt similarly with much older ladies. And there was one episode where he jumped up to help an elderly contestant across the stage, very much the gentleman.
He's a boor and always looks as if he's about to burp. How could so much bad taste be in one person? They should have tied his hands under the desk so he couldn't scratch or stick a finger in his ear.
I liked the movies Eddie Bracken played in. He wasn't a "range" actor but a "personality" actor. He got some very good scripts and directors.
Eddie Bracken was so cute...I can just imagine running my fingers through his hair...
I know that Eddie Bracken is famous for comedies like "The Miracle of Morgan Creek" and "Hail, the Conquering Hero," but I know him best as the Walt-Disney-like amusement park owner, Wally, of "Wall's World" from the 1980's comedy "National Lampoon's Vacation."
And Home Alone 2 and Rookie of The Year
It’s so funny when the panelists take off on a totally wrong tangent, like when they thought and were asking about people “wearing” limburger cheese.
In the neighborhood of 67 years ago....crazy how time flys....surely miss WML...😉
I was a kid and I remember loving Sunday night's at 10:30 eastern.
I feel a great sense of dismay when the final contestants get only a few minutes. I'm always curious at what point the panel would guess their job, and in this episode the audience could have a lot of fun with steeplejack lady. However, I like the fact that they get a full prize.
I wasn’t familiar with Eddie Bracken; he was way before my time. He had a fabulous ability to do accents.
Whenever I hear them saying goodnight to each other at the end of the episode, I always think of "The Waltons". But according to Earl Hamner, Jr., the show's creator, it was based on his own experience growing up in a very small house where people could hear each other from room to room and would continue until his father put a stop to it for the night. It had nothing to do with WML.
+Lois Simmons - Could you imagine Bennett saying, "Good night, John-Boy?" :)
Patch or no patch, Ms Francis was a very pretty lady.
mr bracken was mr duncan who had the toy shop in home alone 2
The patch adds some mystery or style or something, she looks good with it.
there is another episode, a later one, with her wearing a patch on her other eye
It appears she was somewhat accident prone even before she had a very serious car crash. I'm not looking for gossip but I noted as well that she looked rather strained and unwell in some earlier episodes (I actually wasn't even sure it was her!). I wonder if something was occasionally amiss behind the scenes.
I watched at least half of over the eight hundred wml videos and have noticed at least twice that Arlene wore an eyepatch. Somewhere in the comments someone mentioned she had an uncle who was a cosmetic surgeon. Since then I've wondered if the patches were a convenient cover for having her eye/eyes done. I have also seen joan rivers wearing sunglasses on a live tv show. It was well known that she was a plastic surgery junkie. Before the wonderful Regis philbin's local show went national he also wore sunglasses on his live morning show with the excuse he had a medical condition with his eyes. I absolutely loved Arlene francis with or without the patch.
I love this show! I'm a fan of classic movies and television and eagerly await every new upload, Thank you so much!
Eddie was an Amazung talent. One fine actor who played every part just right. Even the small part he had in Home Alone 2 was just as real and believable as everything else he'd ever done. And by all accounts, seened like a darned nice guy. Rest in peace, Mr. Bracken.
Great! Very healthy show. Hoping we'll have more of such on TV.☺
"Every thing we do on this program is legal..."
I love this show
Lots of laughs in this great episode!
The best show on TV even today
Yes, that fact is kinda sad.
Teresa, you're right! These shows are far more entertaining than anything on in 2023, which are mostly self congratulating trash, and for those who watch them, the trashier the better! That's why I just loves these shows!
Dorothy Kilgallen is beautiful and so smart.
Sometime between August 17 and this episode, the tech staff changed the style of the superimposed cards that show the contestant's line. Previously they were hand-painted or -lettered; on this episode they are in a modern sans serif font with uniform stroke weight. Previously they were faded in and out electronically, as with a knob or slider on a video mixer. Here they are also blurred at beginning and end by changing the focus of the lens on the rostrum camera (the one that is aimed at the title cards and so forth).
Looks like it was 24 Aug 1952. Good eye!
During the free guesses for the last contestant, Phyllis Iannaci, Bennett Cerf guesses (jokingly) that she is Babe Didrikson's kid sister. Babe Didrikson Zaharias was a great athlete and was well known at the time. She won two gold medals in track and field in the 1932 Summer Olympics and then turned to golf and won 10 major LPGA tournaments, including the U.S. Women's Open in 1948, 1950, and 1954. The Associated Press named her the "Woman Athlete of the Half Century" in 1950. She did look a little like the last contestant.
Ive been watching these shpws on RUclips over 3 years now and I have to say with the exception of Henry Morgan and Arthur Godfrew Ive grown to love these panelist. Such weonderful classy people and its sad to think they're all gone.Would have loved to have met them
I thought Arlene Francis was dragging out some face time when questioning the MG as I was sure she knew who it was. But then she guessed the wrong person (as did someone else later). So perhaps those additional questions weren't always a matter of camera hogging, but simply the panelist confirming their guess.
And there was a very good Jimmy Durante impression by Eddie Bracken in the midst of the questioning. But the panelists knew it wasn't Jimmy. I was surprised that no one asked if the MG did impressions as part of his shtick.
Lois Simmons wow...never thought of camera hogging Lois.....cynical much?
I don’t usually care for Hal Block but he was actually entertaining in this episode.
Eddie Bracken was in loads of stuff.
Love the show, hate the ‘panel walk’ at the beginning.
Me too, very awkward! I'm glad they gave it up after a while.
@@MarthaCarnahan I agree! It looked extremely awkward for everyone involved. I was glad they did away with it, too.
Luckily back then they weren't crazy like you. What an interesting way it was to bond with the contestants rather than just start off with a dry question answer session.
I've been going through all these again. And always amazed how a lot of the celebrities look older than they are. Eddie Bracken is only 37 here, but i think he looks older than me. I'm 47 lol
Eyelene was always a vision of sartorial splendor.
I had Never Thought about this, this way before but I LOVE How Arlene is Vibing Sammy Davis Jr,.! 🫶🎭😊
Lol Listening to Eddie Bracken, I find myself screwing up my mouth like he's doing!
IMO, having the contestants parade before the panel would have been embarrassing and was really not necessary.
Daisy Cassidy -- it's better than when they had to perform tricks. A quick walk is fine.
I didn't like the parading in front of the panel. Hal block could be boorish when it came to the women. Uncouth, not funhy. It was an effort to put some lightness and fun into a show that would otherwise have been dull and boring. I'm glad they finally worked out the kinks and changed the format.
@@sophiemorrison9820 But, the producers should have realized early on that the perp walk and guessing occupations was unnecessary. These stayed in the program for way too long and the perp walk was especially cringey. It's an example of how clunky early television was.
I get why it's there. In concept, it could help give the panel small clues to occupations, but it was too often not helpful and just embarrassing.
I agree I really didn't like it when Dorthy asked them to show her their hands and the inside of their coats!
He later appeared in an episode of Golden Girls!
We're Not Married, the movie Eddie Bracken was in that Arlene mentions at 21:56 just happens to also star WML's own Fred Allen. Though this is before he was on the panel
Yes, and you left out the most important star in that movie-Marilyn. This was when she was fresh and not so world worn down.
I believe it's Eddie Bracken's collaborations with Preston Sturges -- "The Miracle of Morgan Creek," "Hail the Conquering Hero" -- that have most kept him alive to film scholars and (what used to be called) movie buffs. His examination by the panel here is entertaining, but I wish there had been more time for Lady Steeplejack and, judging by the expressions of some of the panelists, Arlene especially, they clearly wished the same.
I'm probably going to hell for this, but omg Arlene Francis is even more elegant and beautiful with the patch. ...And Hal Block usually bugs me, but even I have to offer my respect for his participation in raising $188,000-something dollars for charity.
And those were 1952 dollars.
I don't know why she's wearing a patch
@@jessyleppert2 - Bennett comments that she somehow cut her eye.
Might I also be unhappy? Yes. "50-50", Bennett said. Actually when it comes to gambling, the odds are always in favor of the house, so the odds are greater a bettor would be unhappy. The house makes lots of money because losing happens much more often than winning. If that weren't the case, there would be no gambling casinos.
That's why I don't even try lol
Hey, i know him from Home Alone 2. How insane
He was Mr. Duncan
Hal was a sweetheart
The audience gives away the profession a lot of the time by their reaction to questions. I also had to look up steeple-jack.
They do and are always giggling about stuff that is only, if that, slightly amusing. Would like to slap upside the head those in tv who dragged people in off the streets to supposedly add to the show.
The steeplejack lady wouldn't been such an interesting guest had they not ran her out there with a minute to go. They did that far too often. In this case, wouldn't it have been nicer to chat with Eddie Bracken (or any celebrity) an extra minute or so longer to fill the time, and bring back the steeplejack lady another day?
I thought the same thing. But, I would not have wanted to miss The roulette wheel operator at the Flamingo and the Limburger cheese salesman. (I can see that Flamingo tower with the pink neon design in my memories! I was there several times in the 1950's.) I agree that the steeplejack lady deserved better. The questioning could have been hilarious.
I hate that too, but they still get the $ for coming
NO, Dorothy would NOT be wrong in assuming that this product was not especially designed to beautify the lady. Right idea, wrong wording: she gets a no and the questioning moves to her left.
Thank you for posting these so awesome ❤
Love Eddie Bracken, I thought he was cute!
I've seen Eddie Bracken only in one film and it's also my favorite movie: "Summer Stock". he was absolutely hilarious in it
Mr. Wally world.
He's better in "The Miracle of Morgan's Creek," or "Hail The Conquering Hero."
Why do they bother having that last guest if they always have to rush it? I always feel bad for that last guest who came on for a chance to be seen on TV, only to have like a minute or so.
At the 3:30 mark John Daly caught an insect in his hand and tossed it onto the floor. "I got him!" he said.
Just as good the second time around.
That poor woman who came on last! She should have been asked back next week rather than make such a fleeting appearance. Bet she was so annoyed.
When they have the last challenger and there's like under 2 minutes left, think they should have just filled that short amount of time with just conversing with each other because it seems unfair to the challenger to get rushed off like that without hardly getting to play..
i feel the same way, but this is early television. everything was new. they had to make mistakes to learn what did not work. they were probably afraid to try just talking to each other, or, no one thought of it, yet.
Actually, that’s the BEST spot to grab! Run outta time easy 50.
PepsiMama2 I agree! The contestant is likely not playing for the money. They aredoing it for a chance to be on TV, play the game, and be a hometown hero of sorts. It just seems so unfair. They should have figured something out.
With such a short time, they should have dispensed with the Walk of Shame and those silly guesses.
How would you like it when you got to Florida it was closed. Roy Wally: Oh They don't close Florida.
People go to Florida to die.
Oh Mr. Duncan i miss you so much! ❤
The question in connection with the second game about which meal in which it would appear. Well, that well known breakfast dish -- the limburger omelet. Breakfast of champions.
I was thinking similar thoughts; couldn't cheese be served with any meal, after all?
Ewwwww
Dorothy wears her mask askew.....pulled to the right so there is a gap between her nose & the left edge of the mask over her right eye... Same with Arlene
I saw an interview on the Canadian CBC network from 1975, right after the end of the series, where Arlene admitted to peeking through a space in her mask. I had it recorded on VHS but cannot find it.
@@ChrisHansonCanada Nice to have my suspicions confirmed. I often wondered if at least one panelist might have been given a contestants "line" in advance so that a contestant could be terminated if time became a problem....at least before the celebrity was due to arrive on stage

Ive always felt really bad for the guests at the end of the show who only get a few minutes of game time.
They travel to NYC, gets all dressed up with new clothes, have probably told family and friends to watch and basicly get tell their name and what they do, very little game time.
Oh my goodness lol, Hal and the linberger cheese! LOL
Neither of the men stood to shake hands with Eddie Bracken. First, and only time I remember seeing that happening.
Someone mentioned that with another contestant a couple of days ago, so apparently it happened more than once. They generally stood up for the women.
Gil Fates insisted that gambits were given only to comedians whose egos were inclined to laughs rather than solutions, so Bennett's first set of questions to the roulette owner must by that definition be his own spontaneous work.
soulierinvestments I thought about that too, as there seemed to be some elements of the "gambit" technique in Bennett's line of questioning there.
At 14:37 Dorothy's strange behavior. When Hal called the conference, Dorothy apparently already knew the correct answer but doesn't share it and even points out to Bennett to be quiet.
Dorothy looks especially pretty tonight.
But Phyllys wears the original tin foil hat.
lol
RUNS ROULETTE WHEEL
SELLS LIMBURGER CHEESE
STEEPLEJACK
one would have thought that they would have caught on pretty quickly that when there was a small time available for a guest, to just ignore the walk and guess and start with the questions. kind of dumb to put everyone through that unnecessary pressure.
bigred997
Yeah, if I’d have been a contestant I’d try to be slated last. The more time I could waste, the easier it would be for me to win the $50 by forfeit.
BTW, $50 in 1952 would buy as much as $60 or $65 dollars at today’s prices so it was a pretty good prize.
In 1952 $50.00 was a really good week's pay.
In later episodes, when there was not much time left at the end of the show, they did exactly that. John would explain that there was not much time, and he would eliminate the walk and the wild guesses.
Just listening to the voice I thought the mystery guest was Sydney Greenstreet :0) He of course was over 40...
My goodness!!!!! That steeplejack's hat!!!!!! What ??????
She obviously has a head for heights but not for hats!
Some of the "hats" British women wear are ridiculous.
You could maybe tell that Block was showing hidden anger towards Daly when he introduced him. But I could be wrong. Not sure what the reason was/could be, but I feel that it could have been quite troublesome.
Block had just done an all-night charity marathon, he was probably tired and that would account for his being grumpy.
Poor arlene
wAS tjhis show always on Sunday nites at 9:30 PM my central time fo r the entire run of this series from 1950 until 1967? This is the longest running game show, without going into syndication, in american tv history.
The first few months aired only every other week, on a different night (I think Wednesday?), at 8pm Eastern time. Otherwise, yes, for 17 years, WML aired at the same time every week, no reruns.
So I guess trhat another C BS show hAD as much of A chance of getting into that Sun. nite at 9:30 timeslot as a cube of ice does hurtling into the sun huh?
WML premiered 2/16/1950 @ 8:00 on Thursdays, moved in
April 1950 to 9:00 on Wednesdays, finally settling into the Sunday night
10:30 slot in October 1950, where it remained permanently.
@@steveburrus5526 A very few special programs preempted WML from time to time. But each was a one-time interruption. Typically, someone in our group of commenters will have researched old broadcast schedules and posted their findings in the comments for the episode following the gap.
I seem to remember a lot of episodes when eye patches are worn by panelists -- which is unusual. But more unusual, they are always the ladies! What's up with that?!
+LoudCitizen Only Arlene ever wore an eyepatch on WML, always due to various eye injuries she'd suffered.
If you watch her after taking her mask off she is constantly touching her eyelashes with long sharp nails. Probably scratched her eyes with those claws lol
Mr Duncan
With all the comments, I can't believe no one has asked for an explanation of bracken's joke at the end of his segment in which he suggests Arlene "be patriotic" and have the blood drained? It's almost as if he's saying she should go donate blood, but what the hell would that have to do with her eye being scratched?
It could be that he thought it was bloody and that the blood taken from it would have been of aid to our military, which at that time was engaged in the Korean War. It was a pretty lame joke.
@@TheBlackhawkbrat Yes, not funny at all and very bad taste.
For the steeplejack woman at the end, why was the audience laughing so much at her before the questioning started? Was it the hat or the way she walked?
Steeplejacks were always male. Nowadays nobody would laugh because woman have been doing traditional jobs for males for decades. Back then it was very unusual.
Hey! You haven't uploaded in a while, just checking in to make sure you're okay haha! :)
I'll be back to posting within the next couple of days, don't worry.
Okay, just wanted to make sure you were alright, when things get out of pattern I tend to get concerned haha! Hope you're well!
with the limburger contestant, dorothy said, "am i wrong to say.. " and john replied, "no you are not wrong," technically, this is a negative answer. she should have not been allowed to continue. if she had said, "am i correct that.." then he would have said, "yes, you are right." which is a positive answer.
I had to listen to that exchange again (12:41) to get it straight in my own head! Dorothy: "Would I be wrong in assuming that this product was not especially designed to beautify the lady?" John's answer: "Yes, it is not especially designed to beautify a lady."
You're right, Larry Teren! If he had been able to clearly think through all the double negatives, John's answer by rights should have (or at least *could* have) been: "No you would not be wrong." But it *is* confusing -- so I guess he goofed this time! ;p
SaveThe TPC thank you for recognizing genius. seriously, there are few shows left that challenges one's intellect anymore- jeopardy and wheel of fortune and can't think of another at the moment.
Jeopardy! definitely challenges one's knowledge and I find it highly entertaining to watch, even by myself, the challenge being to say the correct answer out loud before any contestant does or before Alex Trebek reveals the answer. In contrast, I don't think Wheel of Fortune is that much of a challenge. It certainly isn't anywhere near as difficult to qualify as a contestant. I find "Wheel" to be about as challenging as "Celebrity Jeopardy!" -- the celebrity version of "Jeopardy!" is completely dumbed down. As to "Wheel" I'm always amazed that people will spend their accrued money buying vowels when the answer is so often obvious with just consonants showing. I would include "Who Wants to be a Millionaire?" to be intellectually challenging, but I find the program's format rather annoying and slow moving -- and it's especially annoying when the host can't pronounce the answers correctly. At least Mr. Trebek comes off as reasonably intelligent himself.
Who wants to b a millionaire is good.
This show was always very lenient on answers. Very often Mr. Daly would give a yes in extremely broad terms, but I think that was often to aide in the humor, because it often caused the panel to follow the wrong line of reasoning,
Fourth contestant. sheesh. Audience acted like they never saw a pretty steeplejack in a hat.
soulierinvestments It was *quite* a hat! :) Btw, why would a steeplejack ever work indoors?
. . . rainy days?
soulierinvestments
Doing what?
Even though most of a steeplejack's work would be outside, certain jobs might require a portion to be done inside as well (certain repairs for example, that still primarily need to be accessed from the outside and have the scaffolding or other rigging in place). As John Daly has said at other times, she would be the expert.
It was also a shame, as he said, to have so little time to spend on the last challenger. Very few questions can be asked in that period of time, especially if the answers are borderline yes or no.
It was incredibly rude to rush those last minute contestants.
Arlene had to wear an eye patch a # of times over the years. I wonder what her eye issue was? Did she maybe scratch/cut them w/ her fingernails as she was applying/removing those false eyelashes worn by many women in those days?
😊t
1:50 Whose name was said in between Dennis James and Warren Hull?
Jane Pickens (though it took me quite a few listens to get it!)
It is interesting that Dorothy might ask to feel the muscles of a male contestant, but apparently never asks to feel the muscles of a female contestant. Some female contestants have jobs requiring arm strength, so it makes one wonder if Dorothy has reasons, other than the game, for touching males.
I think she e was just playing to the gender roles of the day.
Dorothy is my favorite panelist, but feeling the muscles and looking at the labels of men’s suit coats is just creepy.
Bennett’s intellect was unmatched.
Notice Hal Block is leaning back in the mystery guest segment, as if he's trying to see the guest.
lol, Hal is a witty man
Feeling biceps; examining coat labels. So glad thhey got rid of this segment.
Duncan's toys chest
Funny thing was, it was shot in Chicago not New York
@@jessyleppert2 Right
Mr Green is so cheesy!
John Daly needed to be reined in by a good director, he repeatedly and over the years constantly was interrupting the guests and speaking for them unnecessarily. Very irritating.

Does anyone know why Arlene has an eye patch?
They said she cut her eye. In subsequent episodes her patch has the CBS "Eye" logo on it.
From TV.com episode guide for this show:
"ARLENE'S EYEPATCH INCIDENT #1 of 4: Arlene is wearing a black eyepatch over her left eye this evening. In her 1978 autobiography, Arlene explains her scratched cornea: "The first accident to my eye came about because my son, Peter, was sitting on my lap, watching a Disney cartoon on television and something in the movie scared him. He turned to bury his head in my shoulder, at the same time lifting his hand, and the scratch on my cornea to which I referred was the result."
www.tv.com/shows/whats-my-line/episode-119-92954/
49yt Makes more sense than Gil Fates's explanation that Arlene had a "habit of sticking her fingernail in her eye".
It would seem that Arlene frequently got something like a fallen eyelash in her eye, or some other small foreign object, and on multiple occasions managed to scratch her cornea with a long fingernail while trying to remove the object with her fingertip. I would have suggested to her using a Q-Tip with the cotton bud on the end wet in water or eyewash solution. I think that kind of self-inflicted injury to the cornea accounts for three out of four incidents that required an eyepatch. The fourth one you can read about elsewhere in this post -- where her son Peter, as a toddler, poked her in the eye accidentally.
She was moonlighting as a privateer.
16:16 Who?
He was in a lot of movies, including Home Alone 2.
I've no doubt John Daly was an intelligent fellow with a superior grasp of the English language....but he often falls victim to PROLIXITY when he gives one of his complex, over-extended explanations or deliberately verbose 'clarifications' to the panel. I realize he probably does it deliberately to get a laugh, but it does tend to grate on occasions....and it's clear that some panel members might have agreed with me.
The Block guy is annoying.
I like Arlene Francis, but if she doesn't have anything wrong with her left eye, she should NOT have worn that patch over it. Some of us really CAN'T see out our left eye. So if you can, why in the WORLD would you cover it up?!
You have to take into account that this show was broadcast just 7 years after World War Two. It was fresh in our minds. We’d fought a costly war for freedom and to stop bossy boots like you telling us all what to do. Now, 76 years after the war, our sacrifice has largely been forgotten and new generations of people abound, demanding that we must do this, or must not do that. Do you think that a strong independent woman like Arlene would give your admonishments serious consideration? Rather, she would likely have coined a new term, and today we would be complaining about an infestation of “Kristas” rather than “Karens”. Please visit your local cenotaph and reflect on your attitude young miss.
WTF? How determined to find fault with someone do you have to be before assuming there was nothing wrong with her eye after Bennett SPECIFICALLY SAID she had cut her eye and was wearing a patch for that reason. Damn. You couldn't be like everyone else who missed it and ask why she's wearing a patch, rather than assume with no basis at all that she's being a horrible person?
