Jennifer Butler Murray: He Slimed Me

Bill Murray in GhostbustersWho you gonna call when you can’t even count on a Ghostbuster anymore?

Jennifer Butler Murray, wife of Comedian/Actor Bill Murray, has filed for divorce, citing a cornucopia of bad behaviour which as she claims, “destroyed the marital relationship betwwen the parties and plaintiff no longer feels safe being in the presence of defendant.”

Murray has had a productive career from his appearances on Saturday Night Live to a string of successful movies. In What About Bob, Murray played a hapless obsessive compulsive whose behaviour wins over the family of his Psychiatrist but drives the Psychiatrist over the edge. Groundhog Day found Murray playing a manipulative jerk of a Weatherman who, when he discovers that each day he wakes up and it’s the same day again, uses that to his advantage to win over the heart of his co-worker.

Estranged wife Jennifer Butler may feel that his real life behaviour is a little closer to his Groundhog Day character and she may just resort to quoting the 1984 movie when she refers to her severed relationship with Murray.

Ghostbusters (1984) is the comedic tale of three ghost exterminators in the city of New York.
Three ghostbusters, (Bill Murray, Dan Aykroyd and Harold Ramis) are called upon to have a paranormal showdown with goblins, poltergeists, and other demons, which are invading an apartment and taking possession of people.

Its most famous line is delivered by one of the Ghostbusters after an encounter with a ghost: “He slimed me.”

Fracas wishes the best to Jennifer and should the reports be true, hopes the former Ghostbuster finds a nice place he can check in for awhile to bust a few of his own ghosts.

Going down on Kevin… again.

Damn some people. I’ve had to go down on Kevin again, and it’s really starting to tick me off. I’m sure he’s a fine person and all, but things in the fraccy world aren’t getting done for all the attention I’ve been paying to this problem.

You see, I signed up for Humor-Blogs a short while ago, and while I thought I’d be happy to just get to the top 30 and make the main page, once I started climbing the page, I found that more and more, my thoughts revolved around getting to be on top. Briefly, I found myself in the #2 spot, behind Kevin from Pointless Banter, and it was good. I started scheming how I might topple a 15 Minute Lunch but before you know it, Kevin had risen again. Damn him. Damn, damn, damn.

It’s not that I hadn’t noticed or anything. I’d been begging fraccers to click me up again, even offering to post a picture of my new bra if they did… but to make the whole situation even more embarassing, the fraccy readers started talking about it.

So I shall explain how it works over at that haven for boobs.

Kevin's Humor-Blog advantageOnce upon a time, those who joined were reviewed and assigned a base score by the reviewer. Afterwards, the clicks from your site to theirs were are tracked and added to your base score to comprise your total score. As time went on, Humor-Blogs became popular and the reviews stopped, each entrant instead being assigned a base score of 50 with their clicks then added to that. The clicks are tabulated based on the last 30 days worth, so clicks must continue to happen… or the blog’s score will go down as clicks older than 30 days drop off the tally.

I’m going to whine a bit now, because Kevin joined earlier than I, and so received a review giving him a base score of 68 whereas I have had to endure a base score of only 50. I happen to think my boobs are more entertaining than Kevin’s, but be that as it may, I must suffer with a lower base score.

Poor, poor Fracas, please click for herTo continue whining… Kevin also, happened to be mentioned on CNN the other day, and thus will be receiving a 38F’s worth of traffic while I, with my 36D’s will have to compete against that for the click-throughs to add to my score.

So you see… poor, poor fracas battling mean old Kevin is like David battling Goliath.

(Is this working? Do you feel propelled to rush out to a library and log into every single computer there so you can visit fracas and click through to Humor-Blogs to boost my score? Of course, I would never ask anyone to do that…)

So as you can see by these lovely screen captured images of our standings last night, while I may have indeed (as Dagny put it) gone down on Humor-Blogs, I think I can still hold my head high. I have managed to stay very close in click-throughs, to a Goliath. I promise not to give up though. I promise that if you keep clicking, I’ll keep trying. I may have to show more boobs in order to keep the clicks happening… but for my fraccy readers, I’ll do just about anything… I will, as God as my witness… stop going down on Humor-Blogs!

But if you want to email (or otherwise contact) CNN and give them a dressing down for not doing a story where they could quote me… I won’t complain. If you cc me your letter, I’ll even write a post about you.
