Someone has created an absolutely fabulous joke blog mocking Dina Lohan’s shoe line “Shoe-Han.” Great name, right? Really, everything about it was just ripe for the mocking, from the terrible name to the fact that no one would want to wear anything designed by Dina Lohan, even on their feet. The only way I could be convinced to is if Dina’s face were emblazoned on the soles. Then I could step on her everywhere I went.

Dina’s supposed to have the shoes out by Mother’s Day – that gives her quite a lot of time to come up with something that doesn’t completely suck. In the meantime, the fabulous blog “Shoehans” has some joke shoes that Dina supposedly designed. And I swear if I didn’t know it was a joke blog from the get-go, I could absolutely believe that Dina really did design the shoes. They’re perfectly stupid.

There’s a pair of shoes with fellow E! reality “star” Denise Richard’s face emblazoned on them. Golden pumps, no less.

I and Denise Richards were both on reality shows on the E! Entertainment Television Network run by Ted Harbert who gave us both a chance luckily for her she got to keep her show(SHOWHAN LOL) but I did not, in any case she deserves a SHOEHAN.

[From Shoehan]

I love the “I and Denise Richards” part. There is a subtle way to nailing Dina’s stupidity. Someone who does know you don’t say “me,” but doesn’t know which order the “I” goes.

The creepiest Shoehans are the patent pleather heels with the My Little Pony attached heel. Dina markets it as “Be sexy and also you will appeal to children.”

BE SEXY AND ALSO YOU WILL APPEAL TO CHILDREN IN “MY LITTLE PONY” PATENT PLEATHER HEEL

This idea came to me in a dream JUST NOW AT 1:05AM EST I dreamed about beautiful young women prancing around Roosevelt Field Mall, maybe at the Ruby Tuesdays, in their sexual yet maternal new SHOEHANS

[From Shoehan]

The absolute best Shoehans are the boots which are either made for Jews or to celebrate Hannauka. It’s not really clear. Anyway, the faux-Dina says the boots are “reversible” – but look what she means by that.

MENORAH JEWISH SHOEHANS- What should I call this new line of SHOEHANS: JEWHANS or SHOEHANNUKA?? I will start taking your votes now! (they are REVERSIBLE as you can see in the pictures below)

I work in Hollywood California therefore I know that Hannika is right around the corner. I also have my LISPH (Long Island SHOEHANS Production Hub) that is located in Long Island and of course run by Hebrews. Even though I am of the Christian persuasion, I will never forget about my business investors, lawyers, and my childrens’ agents when crafting my artistic visions through footwear.

[From Shoehan]

Personally I vote for Jewhans. I bet real Dina Lohan really does believe she’s crafting her artistic visions through footwear. Extra points for the classic misspelling of “Hannika.”

The site doesn’t have much information on it (the “About” section is filled out with, “I don’t know what this is for, obviously this internet page is about SHOEHANS aka shoes for all, look for them at every store soon” but I can’t help but wonder if this is from the same guy who did such a brilliant job crafting Dina Lohan’s fake Twitter account. Everyone believed it was really her for a while because the tweets were just dumb enough and just self-centered enough. And that faux-Dina didn’t understand Twitter’s 140 character rule. That account, while fake, hasn’t been closed down yet and still has some priceless gems. Check it out for more on the “toxic parent” and “not Christians.” Dina really is better comedic fodder than Lindsay.

The healthcare reform debate has gotten so heated lately that everyone’s too busy screaming to actually hear each other talk. It’s definitely an emotional issue, and I don’t know anyone who doesn’t have an opinion about it. So while everyone’s angry and frustrated, Funny or Die and MoveOn.org came up with a different way to get people to hear their side – and it doesn’t involve trying to outshout the other guy.

Funny or Die came up with a great satirical video of famous actors explaining why we need to support the insurance executives. Among the reasons: they teach us that poor spelling may lead to death, and show children not to fall off bikes or they’ll have to pay thousands of dollars out of their allowance.

MoveOn.org, together with the Web site Funny or Die, have released a video featuring Will Ferrell and other celebrities in an effort to drum up support for health care reform efforts, as well as the public option. In the video, which you can see at left, Ferrell, Olivia Wilde, Donald Faison and others sarcastically argue in favor of privatized health care and defend the worst practices of insurance companies.

“Insurance companies are detailed enough to deny claims for things like typos,” Ferrell says, facetiously, in the video. “If you spell something wrong, do you really deserve surgery? I don’t think so.”

The clip comes via MoveOn.org Political Action, which backs the public health insurance option. In a release, the organization said the actors participating in the video agree that a public option must be included in the health care reform bill in order to expand coverage and avoid inflated insurance costs.

President Obama has signaled that he is open to leaving the public option out of the health care bill. “As the health care debate enters the homestretch, humor can serve as a powerful reminder to Americans about what exactly is at stake,” Justin Ruben, Executive Director of MoveOn.org, said in the release. “We were thrilled to partner up with the folks at Funny or Die and I think we’ve hit a homerun with this video depicting who exactly the ‘victims’ are in this crisis and the profit motive that will keep the insurance industry fighting tooth and nail against a public option.”

[From CBS News]

Among the other great lines: “Insurance companies need our support because they keep our selfish priorities in check when we can’t,” and “Insurance company CEOs have a right to their American dream … like a mini zoo in your back yard for exotic animals like a white tiger and pygmy horses.” I seriously doubt that people who are dead-set against heath care reform are going to get a chuckle out of the video, let alone change their minds. But it’s sure a welcome lightening of the debate. Entertainment Weekly argues that sarcasm isn’t the right way to approach this issue. My thought: why not? It’s so stressful and heated, why not joke about it a little bit? Funny or Die managed to mock it without being offensive: they weren’t making fun of the sick people, just the super wealthy executives. I thought it was their best video yet.

Here’s another great (though sorta gross) Funny or Die video for Lashisse, mocking the eyelash growing product Latisse.

I have a thing about people who wear sweaters that tell a story. You know, like those overly-detailed Christmas sweaters, many travel sweatshirts, things like that. When I was in third grade I had a sweater with an image of a house and an actual plush Santa doll hanging off the chimney. Unfortunately, the chimney was placed right over my just-developing left boob, drawing attention (at least in my paranoid mind) to the mortifying changes going on south of my neck. What girl would want Santa hanging off her boob? This left some emotional scarring, resulting in an instant hatred of anyone wearing tacky clothing bearing images. Cheesy animals are no exception.

Luckily the reviewers at Amazon.com are more jovial than my bitterly sardonic sense of humor – though they clearly share my lack of appreciation for ugly-ass, why-the-hell-are-you-wearing-that-you-cliché-soccer-mom type clothing. And their reviews have pushed one of those cheesy-ass wolf t-shirts to the top of Amazon’s sales charts.

Can a T-shirt go viral online? Well… of course it can.

There’s an informal comedy-writing workshop of sorts going on over at Amazon, where a growing wave of reviewers have latched on to a T-shirt bearing the image of a trio of wolves howling at the moon.

Snarky reviewers at the site are giving the T-shirt credit for everything from psychedelic vision quests to new and intense attention from the opposite sex. Some of the tales are quite elaborate.

“I have been wearing this shirt for about 15 weeks and I have not needed to wash it!” claim’s one Amazon shopper’s review. “You don’t put this shirt on your torso you put it on your soul.”

“Rex Creekmur” of Washington, DC, puts a J.J. Abrams-style twist on his review. “If you inadvertently put this shirt on backwards AND inside out, you will cause a tear in the actual fabric of space-time,” he warns.

Another reviewer makes a veiled reference to a previous product that somehow became the butt of a viral wave of joke reviews: “I accidentally spilled a glass of Tuscan Whole Milk down the front of this shirt, and my soul was torn from my body and thrown into heaven by a jealous God.”

So far the T-shirt has earned 158 5-star reviews, climbed to the top of Digg, and is now riding high as the number-one item in Amazon’s apparel store.

That’s right. People are not just reviewing the three wolves T-shirt — they’re buying.

“It’s nice to see our shirt at number one at Amazon,” Michael McGloin, one of the partners at The Mountain, the New Hampshire-based company that makes the shirt. “We’re of course, okay with publicity… [and] it’s hilarious that you can comment on an Amazon product and push it to number one.”

[From the Washington Post]

All of these reviews could also apply to any of those pathetic unicorn t-shirts or anything with a kitten. But I’ve got to say, I’m really glad Amazon’s reviews are getting more humorous and less useful. Actually I’ve rarely found them to be useful, so they might as well be funny. The only thing that isn’t hysterical about this story is the result: people are actually buying this shirt. And I really don’t think it’s possible to wear it ironically – at least in a way where other people can tell that’s what you’re doing. Which means I’m going to have to go around town, ripping this ugly-ass shirt off people. Thus tearing the fabric of space-time.

It all probably started innocently enough. Tuesday, President Obama and Vice President Biden decided to stop into a burger joint in Arlington, Virginia. Unfortunately for all involved, the media coverage of The Obama/Biden Lunch Date was relentless. MSNBC even covered the event live, with poor Andrea Mitchell having to ad-lib about cheeseburgers for about ten minutes. It was rough.

But not so rough that Jon Stewart couldn’t mock it with a special guest – Dan Rather. I have no idea how The Daily Show producers talked Dan Rather into it, but they got him to don a wig and 1970s polyester, and then do a skit that’s being called “Nixon Has A Burrito”. It’s like the producers were getting high, and they said “Wouldn’t it be righteous to spoof the Obama-Biden lunch as if it were circa 1972? That would be awesome.” And it was!

Dan Rather joined Jon Stewart in mocking the media’s coverage of President Obama and Vice President Biden’s trip to Ray’s Hell Burger Tuesday by dressing up as a 1973 newsman and creating a fake report of a Nixon/Kissinger burrito run.

“I’m standing outside Washington, DC’s Cancun Mexican restaurant,” Rather said, dressed in a wig. “Inside, President Nixon and Secretary of State Kissinger are enjoying some traditional Mexican entrees. I’m told the President ordered Mexicana Madness — that’s a spicy chicken burrito — while Dr. Kissinger opted for a fish taco (lettuce, tomatoes, cheese, onions, and copious amounts of a substance known to locals as ‘guacamole’).”

Rather continued, reporting that Nixon and Kissinger got separate checks — “they’re going Dutch on this!” — and joking that Nixon said he doesn’t make his own burritos because, “I am not a cook.”

[From The Huffington Post]

What really sells it is Dan Rather’s commitment to the bit. He seems to actually be taking it seriously, and that’s what’s got me giggling. That, and the wig. And the polyester. Dan Rather was actually part of the White House press corps during the Nixon administration, so I’d imagine he did get some White House press releases about food – but I doubt Nixon was ever a burrito man.

Humor is a fickle thing. Often it needs to be heard in person to truly get why something’s funny. So much can be lost without the help of intonation. Then there’s the whole issue of propriety. Personally I’m a fan of most off-color and inappropriate jokes, though there’s obviously a line. And the line is always changing, especially when it comes to current events.

Yesterday a British junior minister named Sion Simon made a joke on his Twitter page about Swine Flu and Susan Boyle.

‘I’m not saying Susan Boyle caused swine flu. I’m just saying that nobody had swine flu, she sang on TV, people got swine flu.’

[From the Daily Mail]

And the Brits are sort of up in arms over it.

Just as Gordon Brown was gravely announcing that two more Britons had been diagnosed with the virus, one government figure, I can disclose, decided that the potential pandemic was a great opportunity for a joke.

In a bizarre attempt at humour, junior minister Sion Simon suggested that unlikely Britain’s Got Talent singing sensation Susan Boyle is to blame.

Tories were horrified by what were seen as ‘insensitive’ remarks.

Even fellow Labour MPs were aghast. ‘It’s infantile, isn’t it,’ one says. ‘Hasn’t he got enough to do?’

For Simon, the minister for further education, was posting what he thought was a witty aside on the crisis just as it was confirmed a 12-year-old Devon girl had contracted the virus.

[From the Daily Mail]

Simon did remove the joke and apologized when contacted by the Daily Mail. It’s not the first time he’s gotten in trouble for his humor. Three years ago he posted a spoof of leader of the Conservative Party David Cameron’s video blog. As Cameron, he “offered people one of his children and the opportunity to sleep with his wife,” according to the Daily Mail. So he’s obviously got an edgy sense of humor, especially for a politician.

Like I said, I like inappropriate humor, but I can certainly understand why this particular joke would offend a lot of people. In the last few days I’ve heard at least ten Swine Flu jokes, and this was certainly no more offensive than the rest of them. Though to be fair, most of the others played on pigs as the theme. And while Simon’s was based on Susan Boyle – and was really more of a humorous observation than a joke – it wasn’t actually mocking her, and that’s obviously not why people were offended. It was due to making fun of something so serious.

I’ll let the commenters weigh in on the propriety of the joke.

Carrie Underwood won Entertainer of the Year at the American Country music awards this past weekend. It was a big deal because she’s only the 7th woman to have received the award in the show’s 42 year history. Being that she was understandably in shock, Underwood admits she practically blacked out, and doesn’t remember what she said. She made the slightest, most inoffensive (in my opinion) dirty joke ever, relating to a story Matthew McConaughey told as he was presenting the award. Everyone laughed at the time, but apparently it caused enough of a scandal that Underwood had to apologize to McConaughey – and her family.

Carrie Underwood was overwhelmed to have won “Entertainer of the Year” at the American Country Music Awards on Sunday night, but the moment did turn a little mortifying when she made a sexual reference joke to wanting to see Matthew McConaughey’s “boots” in her acceptance speech.

The Texas-born actor presented Underwood with the big award, but before his official duties he entertained the audience with a story on how he and his brother once took a road trip thru Texas to see Dwight Yoakam perform. While there the brothers tried to “pick up” a few ladies by telling them that they made a livin’ exclusively custom-making George Strait’s boots.

“We’re like, ‘Oh yeah. Say, as I a matter of fact, out in the parking lot, in the trunk of our white Corvette, we have the next year’s new edition white ostrich quill George Strait signed series that he’s gonna wear on tour next year.’ And they got pretty excited about that and said, ‘Well, can we see? Can we see? Can we see?’” McConaughey told the audience. “And we obliged … Point of the story is, we got lucky that night. Thank you, George.”

After taking the trophy from McConaughey, a tearful Underwood caused jaws to drop when she said: “I don’t know what to say. I got nothin’ … I want to see those boots, Matthew.” (The audience erupted into laughter but somehow we don’t think his leading lady, Camila Alves, was so amused). And clearly, Carrie regretted the spur-of-the-moment sexual advance.

“I’m so embarrassed, I totally embarrassed myself. I just blanked,” Underwood told Tarts backstage, burying her head in her hands. “You want to say something eloquent in a moment like that and I embarrassed myself. I’m sorry Matthew, I’m sorry to my family. I’m totally embarrassed.” She even admitted that she “blacked out” after hearing her name called and couldn’t remember much between making it from her seat to the stage and then to the press room.

[From Fox News’ Pop Tarts]

Was that joke fairly benign or am I just jaded and disgusting? I wouldn’t bat an eyelash. While I don’t think any of it was out of line, if I were forced to call fault on someone here I’d say it was Matthew’s story, not Carrie’s little response to it. Country music fans must just have a better sense of propriety than I do. Not that it’d take much.

I understand Carrie’s near-blacking out from surprise. I do the same thing whenever I’m in shock. Or whenever someone kisses me. Probably because I’m in shock. I cannot imagine the stupid, useless crap that I would utter in that situation. Really, Underwood might be a little embarrassed, but it could have been a lot worse. Some vaguely dirty joke about sex and boots isn’t all that terrible.

Here’s Matthew presenting the award and telling his story. Carrie is shown before and after the Academy of Country Music Awards at the MGM Grand Hotel in Vegas on Sunday. Images thanks to WENN .

When President Obama appeared on Leno last night, Leno asked him how his bowling was going. Obama is famously a horrible bowler, and he made a joke about how he was using the White House bowling alley to practice. Obama then made an unfortunate remark about his current score of 129, “It was like the Special Olympics or something.”

People were freaking out about it before the interview even aired. Keith Olberman talked about it on Countdown, and it seems like Obama knew he made a bad joke just minutes after he made it. Obama called the Chairman of the Special Olympics, Tim Shriver (some sort of Kennedy relative) to apologize for the joke. Radar Online has more:

President Obama is apologizing for a flippant joke aimed at the Special Olympics during his appearance on The Tonight Show on Thursday.

The President, discussing his mediocre bowling skills with host Jay Leno, said he was disappointed with his latest score of 129.

“It was like the Special Olympics or something,” the President said.

On his way back to Washington on Air Force One, Obama called the chairman of the Special Olympics, Tim Shriver, to say he was sorry, even before the taped program aired late Thursday night.

“He expressed his disappointed and he apologized in a way that was very moving. He expressed that he did not intend to humiliate this population,” Shriver said Friday on ABC’s Good Morning America. Obama, Shriver said, wants to have some Special Olympic athletes visit the White House to bowl or play basketball.

Still, Shriver said, “I think it’s important to see that words hurt and words do matter. And these words that in some respect can be seem as humiliating or a put down to people with special needs do cause pain and they do result in stereotypes.”

Deputy Press Secretary Bill Burton told reporters traveling with Obama that the president’s offhand remark was not meant to disparage the Special Olympics, only to poke some fun at the commander-in-chief’s bowling skills.

“He thinks that the Special Olympics are a wonderful program that gives an opportunity to shine to people with disabilities from around the world,” Burton said.

[From Radar Online]

There’s no question the joke was in poor taste, but I also knew what Obama was trying to say. He was trying to be self-deprecating, but it just got mangled. It’s great that he apologized, and it sounds like the Special Olympics chairman is giving Obama a pass now.

Paris Hilton is getting all sorts of credit for her massively funny turn in humor website Funny or Die’s response ad to John McCain’s stupid Obama-slamming advertisement last week. She’s interviewed with all sorts of magazines and websites talking about how much fun she had, and several people from the website are talking about how great Paris was, and how she’s such a pro and didn’t need any cue cards for her rather challenging lines. Well no surprise here: that’s total B.S. And frankly, that makes me feel a lot better about myself. I didn’t want to live in a world where Paris Hilton could convincingly rattle off a detailed plan for a new energy policy.

Paris Hilton might want to dust off her stationary and start penning something to that white-haired dude. Paris, John McCain gave you your relevancy back, and the least you owe him is a thank you.

The Funnyordie.com spoof Hilton filmed in a Hamptons backyard made headlines when it aired Aug. 5, and grew legs on Aug. 6 when news that Hilton didn’t use cue cards for the commercial — but rather memorized the whole thing — broke.

“She couldn’t recite her address without a Teleprompter,” says a Hilton source who’s crying foul on the memorization claim. “If she’s wearing a designer label that has two names, like Dolce & Gabbana, she can only remember the first one. There’s no way that she memorized that whole spot.”

Regardless, the commercial was brilliant, says the source, and proof that Hilton is capable of excelling in the spotlight. “She’s excellent when she’s surrounded by excellent people. The problem is she surrounds herself with morons most of the time,” says the source. “She’s capable of being every bit the celebrity she wants to be.”

[From MSNBC]

Admit it, you just felt a little better about yourself. If we discovered that Paris Hilton had even an ounce of actual talent – or just that she didn’t suck as much as we all thought she did – it’d shake all of us to our very cores. I know my world makes a lot more sense knowing she can’t say, “We can do limited offshore drilling with strict environmental oversight while creating tax incentives to get Detroit making hybrid and electric cars,” without a little help. Personal intellectual crisis solved.

Here’s Paris Hilton on day three of her whirlwind media blitz in Denmark to promote her upcoming handbag line. Images thanks to Fame.

Never ever do I want to give Paris Hilton credit for anything. Ever. But today I have to. The heirhead managed to retaliate against John McCain’s stupid ad in a way that was both humorous and classy. At least for a Hilton. Paris’ mom Kathy went apeshit on McCain for mocking her daughter. And that’s understandable – any good mother would be peeved. But Paris is a grown woman, and actually did a pretty good job in her retaliation – even if it was conceived and written by someone else.

Paris Hilton has thrown her hat into the US presidential race, declaring her desire to campaign against “that wrinkly white-haired guy” and threatening to paint the White House pink if elected. The blond socialite responded to Republican candidate John McCain’s controversial use of her image in a campaign television spot last week with a satirical ad of her own posted on the website Funnyordie.com.

In the ad, the 27-year-old appears reclining on a sun lounger beside a swimming pool, dressed only in a skimpy leopard-print bathing costume. “Hey America, I’m Paris Hilton and I’m a celebrity too,” Hilton declares breezily. “Only I’m not from the olden days and I’m not promising change like that other guy. I’m just hot! But then that wrinkly white-haired guy used me in his campaign ad, which I guess means I’m running for president. So thanks for the endorsement white-haired dude, and I want America to know I’m, like, totally ready to lead.”

Hilton then offers an alternative US energy strategy, suggesting that she plans to combine elements from McCain and Democratic rival Barack Obama’s policy platforms. “We can do limited offshore drilling with strict environmental oversight while creating tax incentives to get Detroit making hybrid and electric cars. … Energy crisis solved, I’ll see you at the debates, bitches!” Hilton then signs off by declaring that she is now mulling her choices for vice-president. “I’m thinking Rihanna,” she said, referring to the singer-songwriter.

“I’ll see you at the White House,” Hilton adds. “Oh, and I might paint it pink. Bye!”

[From Yahoo! News]

Hilton’s acting is generally a bit stiff and uncomfortable – pretty much what you’d expect. Yet she pulls off the harder lines much better than the funny, lighter ones. When she talks about oil drilling, you’d almost think she’s a decent actress. And if you’re me, you’re really surprised that she was able to read such big words. I don’t delude myself into thinking that Paris understood them, and she probably had them sounded out phonetically on big cue cards nearby. But I’m impressed, nonetheless.

The brains behind Hilton’s advert were Funnyordie.com contributors Adam McKay and Chris Henchy, who pitched the idea of filming the spot to Hilton.

“She got it that the McCain thing was a low blow,” McKay told AFP. “And she felt she didn’t want to return it with angry fire, and that this was the best way to respond. It’s a playful jab.”

Henchy and McKay both believe Hilton is more intelligent than her tabloid persona lets on.

“She’s a lot smarter than people give her credit for,” Henchy said.

[From Yahoo! News]

Chris Henchy is Brooke Shield’s husband. And I’m praying to God that he’s just being kind. He’s married to one of the smartest actresses out there. I seriously doubt he was duped into thinking Paris Hilton has two IQ points to rub together. But obviously he’s not going to go around and say, “Hey, this celebrity who was nice enough to mock herself for our website is a total moron!” I don’t think. Either way, it’s a pretty funny response to McCain’s ridiculous advertisement, which was a lame attempt at humor. It’s kind of pathetic when the response is so much better than the original ad.

Celebrity roasts are by definition raunchy. They’re filled with the kind of humor that pushes the envelope. And when the bar is set at that standard, it can be hard not to go overboard. But apparently Bob Saget, (who – despite his Full House image – has been doing a very bawdy stand up act for the last thirty plus years) was upset by some of the jokes at his celebrity roast for Comedy Central. There were a ton of Olsen twin barbs, which one would think Saget would have known to expect. And I’m guessing he did, but that actually hearing the jokes was too much for him.

Bob Saget says some of his comic friends went too far by hurling crude jokes and sexual references at Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen during his “roast” Sunday night. “Anybody who talks about my TV kids – that upsets me the most,” Saget told The Post. “I am very protective. I love them very, very much.”

John Stamos, Saget’s former “Full House” co-star, emceed – and took the first swipe at the 22-year-old moguls. “The whole time Bob and I were doing ‘Full House,’ he was also hosting ‘America’s Funniest Home Videos,’ ” he said. “His entire job consisted of saying ‘Take a look at this’ which is what he used to say to Mary Kate in her dressing room.”

Afterward, Stamos said he has no idea how the Olsen sisters will react. “I truthfully don’t know where their sense of humor lies these days,” he said. “I thought some of [the roast] was a little over the top. They’re still my friends,” he said of Mary-Kate and Ashley. “I think [the comics] crossed the line a few times.”

Not that Gilbert Gottfried – who suggested in his routine that Saget seduced his TV kids with chocolate milkshakes – seemed to care. “If you are an Olsen girl, you deserve it,” he said. “They’re going to just have to go home and cry in their billions of dollars.”

[From the New York Post]

Obviously the jokes are merely alluded to (aside from Stamos’), so it’s tough to say just how over the line they were. I did a little searching and couldn’t find any of the specific jokes. I’m a firm believer that truly great comedy often pushes the limits. But… I don’t know, it sounds like these were probably the kind of limits that everyone knows you don’t push.

The show will air on Comedy Central on August 17th, so we’ll probably get an idea of the jokes then. But it’s obviously edited for television – and Bob Saget has editorial approval as well. And he’s made it clear where he stands, so we might be left with 2 hours of watching comedians push their salads around their dinner plates.
