Kaili | Friday, August 29, 2003 - 10:22 am     A mortician?! She will be interesting anyway- I would have never guessed that line of work based on her photo! We'll have some Addams Family this season! LOL If i had a job like that, I don't think I would drink either! |
Awareinva | Friday, August 29, 2003 - 10:29 am     22 seems young to have come to that career path... she must be pretty motivated. Wonder if it's a family business? Doesn't seem to be real outdoorsy but I bet a mortician has a strong constitution!! |
Whoami | Friday, August 29, 2003 - 09:37 pm     The look in her eyes kinda looks like she could snap you in two (or at least want to) if you push just the wrong button at the wrong time. She just looks like she's saying, "tread carefully." |
Pannie | Friday, August 29, 2003 - 09:42 pm     You are right Whoami, 6-feet-under and serious! I hope that mortality doesn't get her down. |
Lancecrossfire | Sunday, August 31, 2003 - 11:15 am     I think I'm going to like her!! She sounds very eclectic! She also knows her apples, picking Granny Smith specifically. |
Bbfanatic | Tuesday, September 02, 2003 - 10:26 am     i see dead people. i wont like her. |
Aus10 | Thursday, September 11, 2003 - 09:43 am     She's a fav!!! Believe me folks, not only are mortician's strong willed, they are also friendly, excellent compassionate listener's, and they usually have a great sense of humor when faced with adversity. Having worked in the funeral industry....I'm betting she goes far..... |
Bbfanatic | Thursday, September 11, 2003 - 10:25 am     i have known of two morticians in my life. one was in the military. creepy, strange guy. the other is a mortician near home. my husband has known him for a long time from high school. the guy used to brag about what he did with the womens dead bodies when he was younger. |
Kady | Thursday, September 11, 2003 - 11:07 am     Without seeing the show, she is my favorite right now. She is from Mississippi so it is like pulling for a local since she was raised close to me. |
Aus10 | Saturday, September 13, 2003 - 05:23 am     There is some odd humor that comes out of a funeral home and most folks wouldn't understand bbfanatic......I'd bet your husbands friend is pulling your hubby's leg for the "shock" value.....if not, then he needs to be in a rubber room, cause comments such as what he is making are sick. |
Crazydog | Monday, September 15, 2003 - 01:24 pm     Her audition video is odd - the camera is on a closed casket, it opens up and she climbs out. Creepy. Oft-cited trivia tidbit: Academy Award winning actress Angelina Jolie wanted to be a mortician when she was a child. |
Bbfanatic | Tuesday, September 16, 2003 - 10:26 am     aus, first to clear things up i never said the guy is my husbands friend. he is someone that went to his school growing up. i believe the guy needs a rubber round because he is one of the strangest people i have ever been around. it has nothing to do with "shock" value. he was caught by his cousin. this was a long time ago but he runs the funeral home for his dad now. just because there is strange humor that comes out of funeral homes does not mean there isnt strange things that happen also. |
Aus10 | Wednesday, September 17, 2003 - 04:10 pm     bbfanatic..sorry about thinking this guy was a friend. I sincerely hope that the people of this community take action in two ways. #1...this business should not be patronized. #2...He should be reported to your state licensing agency. I've worked in the funeral industry and there are caring, wonderful folks who get into this business due to a sort of "calling". Yes, we do tend to get a warped sense of humor when we're among ourselves, I think it stems from it being our "release" from what can be a sometimes gruesome job. But....this person in no way should be associated with those of us who truly care for our families and their deceased loved ones.... |
Kalekona | Thursday, September 18, 2003 - 03:38 pm     What's not to like she has my birthday i have to pick her.. lol |
Meli456 | Thursday, September 18, 2003 - 04:29 pm     I watched her audition video and I pretty much dislike her. But she does look a lot prettier on the video than in the picture. Survivor always puts the worst pictures up. |
Texasdeb | Tuesday, September 23, 2003 - 04:59 pm     I like her OK. I think she's playing a little under the radar at least from the 1st showing. (Please, another Vecepia we don't need). |
Pannie | Thursday, September 25, 2003 - 10:40 pm     I thought she was going to be a real character. But I couldn't understand a word she said in Ep2. Dang, it was probably funny, too! |
Tabbyking | Thursday, November 06, 2003 - 09:25 pm     i think her voice scared the interviewers off. they are afraid to give her confessionals, 'buhcars nun c'n unnahstahn har'. she is all but invisible. still liking her better than jenna. i'd rather have invisible than 'i'm so hot'. matt shoulda won that............grrrrrrr..... |
Kady | Thursday, November 06, 2003 - 09:47 pm     What is sad is I understand everything Darrah says. You think maybe it is because she is from Mississippi and I'm from Louisiana? I just get the biggest kick out ya'll when you say something about her voice. Pannie...I love your profile. Too cute. |
Tabbyking | Thursday, November 06, 2003 - 10:00 pm     i can understand her but it comes a second or two after she says each word! i have to say, i heard this, but this is what she meant! i think it's cute because you don't expect it to come out of her mouth! i remember stopping in maine for directions once in a snowstorm and to this day, i have no idea what that fireman said to me! i was just fascinated at all the different accents that all seemed to be fighting each other to fall out of his mouth! ayuh, he was hard to understand! kady, i'll bet you could understand that guy in 'joe dirt', too, huh?! when he kept 'gutteraling' (a tabby made-up word) "home is where the heart is" and david spade's character kept saying, "homo's what?!" they sure don't show darrah much. i wonder if that means something...she hasn't really made anyone angry, but she isn't a gung ho worker, either...or is she being edited to seem that way?! it didn't take drake long to figure out most all of morgan are lazy little suckers! |
Pantageas | Friday, November 07, 2003 - 01:52 pm     It's a Mississippi thing. My grandfather was born, raised, and died in Mississippi. He talked just like Boomhauer on 'King of the Hill'. When my family would go to visit him as a kid(from Chicago), I would need my parents or aunts and uncles to translate for me: Grandfather : Mmmm hmm brr.. Ninn daugh soom tah afahrminten, lil mann. Pantageas: *looks to Aunt Carrie* Aunt Carrie: Grand-daddy wants to know how you're doing in school. Heh heh. But my younger brother seemed to understand him completely! Go figure... |
Texasdeb | Saturday, November 08, 2003 - 02:12 pm     Darrah is too much flying under the radar. For me, I don't like or dislike her - heck we don't get to see much of her doing anything except laying around looking lazy. She's either very uninteresting for TV or Survivor is saving her as a shock for us in the future. |
Catfat | Saturday, November 08, 2003 - 03:51 pm     Is Darrah part Afr/Am? If so that would make three A/As on one team, a first for Survivor or also BB, for that matter. Which is a good thing, IMO. Something about her looks like Vanessa Williams |
Texasdeb | Saturday, November 29, 2003 - 03:48 pm     UTR seems to work for Ms. Darrah. I Love to hear this lady speak. Talk more, Mr. Darrah! |
