Ahhh! Oprah makes me sick!!

I mentionedin the Ebert thread that I accidentally hit her fakeness' show when flipping channels. Well, right when that happened I had a phone call, so I never changed the channel, and then I get off the phone and I hear her say "When we come back, I'll finally reveal my secret Martini recipe".

AHHHHH!!!

How can you have a secret Martini recipe, you clueless shitbag?!

I don't know what the hell she's gonna make, but it won't be a fucking Martini! It' sgonna be something like an appletini or chocotini or some other non-Martini thing.

FUCK YOU OPRAH!!!!!!!

Pick up the bong. Light, inhale, ahhhhh....alright, dontchya feel better?

Thanks, Doctor.

Then she adds vodka!!! The Cointreau!! (at least she didn't go Triple Sec).

FUCK YOU!

YOU WASTE OF FLESH!!!!

(not that it doesn't sound good - I think it would be, nice and tart and good - but IT'S NOT A FUCKING MARTINI!)

if they can tell "when they get a bad Cosmo". HA! I bet her audience has never had a proper Cosmopolitan (never a "Cosmo") to begin with, the clueless shits.

What a dumb fucking question.

is watching how far removed she has truly become from her demographic.

But this is one of the myriad of reasons I don't watch her anymore. She's an arrogant, pretentious, big headed, clueless, insecure idiot that now buys into her own press.

Pathetic.

:silly: Lucky them

That's a froo-froo alcohol concoction.

Oprah: a martini has gin and vermouth maybe a dash of orange bitters. GIN...not vodka.

Still tasty, but not a Martini.

I fucking wish people would learn to use the language properly, and especially learn to name things properly. ARGH!! (not you, I'm talking Oprah and the rest of her Illiterati).

People, please - there is a difference between a cocktail and a mixed drink.

Martini is a type of cocktail, not a genre.

A Gibson is made exactly like a Martini, except that it has an onion, not an olive. A Martini always has an olive.

A Martini with a lemon twist is called a "Martini With a Lemon Twist".

A Martini made with vodka is always a "Vodka Martini".

:fuck::fuck::fuck::fuck::fuck::fuck::fuck::fuck::fuck::fuck::fuck::fuck::fuck:

One has a dash of orange bitters, the other doesn't. For the record, I do not include orange bitters in my martinis, but I included it for the sake of completeness.

What do you call 2 parts gin, 1 part vodka, 1/2 part dry vermouth, shaken with ice and served with an olive?

I always knew this as the "James Bond Martini" because he orders it in the book Casino Royale.

But I'm not sure.

And goes great with any grilled italian chicken dish....

4:2:1 of gin, vodka, and lillet. Serve with no garnish, or with a lemon twist.

I think you need a martini.

It is NOT a vodka martini, dammit. :P

:spank:

:7

Alcohol is one of them. :)

is a Martini with an onion and not an olive.

With ice, stirred?

x(

a gibson has an onion in it.
A vodka martini is a martini made with vodka.

There's a martini, and not a martini. A martini made with vodka isn't. ;)

I'm intransigent, you can't argue with me. I'm a martini freeper. :evilgrin:

FREEPERTINI!

:D

:spray: :spray: :spray: :spray: :spray: :spray:

If you're revealing it on national television, Oprah, IT AIN'T SECRET!!!!!!!!!! :banghead:

Maybe you should have some and chill a bit. I'm willing to pour. What would you like?

and caring enough about stuff to use the proper nomenclature.

But I'd love a Martini. A real one.

Thanks!

:slurp:

Whoops, blew the secret. Now it's time for me to go back to watching Cookie Monster eat vegetables on Sesame Street... :crazy:

Hahaha the whole thread is just freaking out.

And that includes the art of food and drink.

If we're gonna drink something, or eat something, we make it something of quality and do it right. Or we don't do it. You'll find many of us here on DU who would rather have no beer than drink a shitty beer; or no wine rather than a shitty wine; etc. I hope you are of this group!

And welcome to DU! :hi:

whilst contemplating the fine painting above my sofa.

:toast:

There is a billboard nearby that UPDATES EVERY DAY what her NEXT show will be about.

I wish I had a picture of the one tonight. It said "I am a METH ADDICT!", right next to her egotistical smiling picture. :rofl:

She in beyond narcissistic. Her magazine with her picture every issue, her tantrum in Paris because they wouldn't open a fancy store for her afterhours... her inability to laugh at herself. She is wretched.

My theory is that this all began when she started hanging with Marianne Williamson. That was a sure sign of disease.

Except she's an Oprah addict.

But you are totally missing the point, Zomby - she's SENSITIVE and she ROSE UP FROM POVERTY, so she gets a free pass on everything.

On that Katrina special (a train wreck we couldn't avert), her body language was chilling. This woman who lost her home was in dire emotional straits and just needed a shoulder to cry and vent on, and a hug. Oprah gave her one of those phony high school popular in-crowd hugs, and quickly, I mean QUICKLY pushed her away. She looked put-off, like she couldn't really be bothered with such a genuine outburst of emotion.

Nini and I will never forget that. We always both hated Oprah, but that vindicated us.

True charity is anonymous, or it isn't charity. Not one, NOT ONE, of the "good deeds" she has done is a good deed, because it was negated by the narcissistic PR that went with it. That's a damn shame. It is like emotional rape.

I didn't see the moment you speak of, ZombyWoof--I only saw about 15 mins. of the Katrina show (by choice--lol). But I have seen the action you speak of with her before--the really fake moment of empathy/compassion.

She also has a really weird thing about people sitting in 'her place on that couch.' She becomes completely unhinged when people do that.

Thank you for saying this--

People (on these boards, in life, etc.) go on and on ad nauseum about all the 'good work' she does--as if she should be somehow immune to criticisms like the ones on this thread. It's rare that I see others state what you just did. It's like we are all supposed to never speak ill of her because she pubilicly, loudly and obviously donates to charities.

:hi:

"True charity is anonymous, or it isn't charity. Not one, NOT ONE, of the "good deeds" she has done is a good deed, because it was negated by the narcissistic PR that went with it. That's a damn shame. It is like emotional rape."

But maybe she has also done some charity which IS anonymous. You wouldn't know about it then, right?

A narcissist like her, with a pathological need for approval and fawning, is INCAPABLE of anonymous giving. So it's moot that we could "know about it". There is no there, there.

There is no way she could reconcile anonymous giving with her nature. It would be like Bush admitting he was wrong about the occupation of Iraq.

I'm glad you are one of them!

:yourock:

We have this innate bullshit detector that allows us to spot Plastic People. :D

:yourock: back at you!

It's the Zappa gene!

how to administer syrup of ipecac in case of poisoning and she said "ipecap" about ten times even though he tried to correct her.
Her drink recipe reminded me of that episode & I have only watched about 5 of them.

Just one of those that really made me "LOL"

No real opinion on Oprah - don't follow celebs much, but see your point nonetheless.

Not a martini afficianado either but I feel the same way about margaritas and tequila.

:toast:

And I really don't get the whole Dr. Phil thing. Aye Caramba. :scared:

Seriously, the level of power she has frightens me at time, from her Book Club to the fact that she gave us Dr. fucking Phil.

:rofl:

Wonderful!... thank you for giving me an early morning laugh... I could NOT agree more...

The woman brings out the caveman in me... I just wanna fugging slap her smug smiling face... sanctimonious, self-righteous, aren't-I-wunnerful-for-caring-bout-wimmin-so-much, pain-in-the-ass waste of airtime...

:rant:

Okay... got that out... am now going to centre my chi again...

:hippie:
