God to Joan Rivers: Whose face are you wearing?

[Liza's Headband]

You know, there are a lot of special tricks that can be done with quarters and mustaches....

[Liza's Headband]

................ Wanna see?

[SonofRobbieJ]

I'd rather be pushed into an active volcano.

[DAME]

Just to bring it back to Joan... Anyone else think she is her successor?

[DAME]

And thanks for showing me how PJ!!!!!

[Jordan Catalano]

Can someone explain how Headband is still posting??? This person who SWORE to never be heard from again won't STFU. Did I miss something??

[DAME]

I really enjoyed the above interview. I would love to read your thoughts on it.

[DAME]

Part 2. Part 2 is not as good. But here it is. I hope that is ok.

I think Cher says what we're all thinking:

It looks like we may not have that evening at the Laurie Beechman after all.

[dreaming]

I haven't seen anything recently.

I'd thought the report that she wasn't brain dead was a positive thing.

[DAME]

I haven't either. At least no new statements have been released.

[DAME]

Unfortunately I just read this. Not good.

According to the Daily News, Joan's got "Oklahoma" playing in the private hospital room where they're keeping her comfortable.

No word as to whether that's the original Broadway cast album or the movie soundtrack.

[dreaming]

Well it's too bad. I thought she was going to pull through. But, it's best for her to slip away quietly. Maybe we can all chip in and get the Beech for a memorial?

[SonofRobbieJ]

I think you need not worry. I'm sure the good people at the Beechman will be on it should the time come.

My thoughts are with Melissa. In some ways, it's a much easier decision to let someone go than to try to put their body through more than is necessary...or is worth. I never really consider it a tragedy when someone with a long, fruitful life comes to the end of the road. I just say 'Brava.'

[dreaming]

Robbie-I'd say brava except she had no pre-existing conditions going into this. The clinic messed up on a very routine procedure. And what's potentially scary is that Broadway and operatic performers have this done a lot. I mean this could have happened to anyone. I'm not convinced age was a factor here. All indications were that she had no health issues going in. I'm guessing the inspectors will release their findings.

Sure 81 is good (my two grandmothers are older-one is old enough to be her mom), but it feels like something was off.

[FindingNamo]

dreaming, I hope you are a lawyer and can lead the lawsuit team.

And speaking of dreaming, all the talk from this thread caused me to have a dream in which I (and many of you) were in that audience at the Laurie Beechman. Joan was pushed onstage in a wheel chair ("Enter Rolling! You always said I was a bitch on wheels! You don't know!"). Her hair was long and white. She had on Dr. Scholls. I was expecting ADA-compliant humor and then I woke up. I noted the time so I could freak out if I logged on here and found out that she had died at that moment and came to haunt me in my sleep.

[SonofRobbieJ]

"Enter Rolling! You always said I was a bitch on wheels! You don't know!"

HAHAHAHAHA. Best one yet.

It's certainly possible that the clinic was at fault in some way. And I don't agree with Pal Joey that these's anything vaguely anti-Semitic in suggesting that a law suit would be appropriate if the clinic was at fault. But why don't we let that play out in its own way in its own time?

[ljay889]

Never trust anything that Radar Online writes. But yeah, I don't think things look great.

[dreaming]

I'm not a lawyer but I work in the field. I am also very familiar with this procedure (I haven't had it myself, but a grandmother with COPD sure has-and she's still here). If someone is to blame, I just want to see them unable to harm anyone else.

My thoughts and prayers to Melissa. Maybe she can find solace in how much joy her mom brought to others.

Just read the headline "Joan Rivers Shows Signs of Brain Function"

I guess the operation was a success after all.

Just kidding! Love ya Joan.

[Jordan Catalano]

How is that funny?

[Musical Master]

^Yeah that was sort of insensitive.
