Yep, I can see it now. "Hey Mom, could you drive us to soccer practice?"
"Sure, babe. We can swing by Rush's house on the way and pick up something from his housekeeper."

Courtney Love reminds me of Xena, Warrior Princess. Now I have to defend that statement. Let's see:
Xena: Fights the gods and sometimes wins.
Courtney: Married to ailing, cult-figure rocker treated like a god in his brief lifetime by critics who didn't know any better.
Xena: Traveled to Hades to save her ex-semiboyfriend and Hades itself from a usurping poseur.
Courtney: Got drunk on a flight to England in a shamelessly exhibitionist way that Edina and Patsy would decry as vulgar.
Xena: Travels around with her bosom companion Gabrielle but still likes boys enough not to kill Joxer or Autolycus no matter how annoying they get.
Courtney: Might be bisexual. Difficult to say as she has the sex appeal of a melted Pearl Jam CD.
Xena: Is a major babe.
Courtney: Is a major infant.
This is so easy. I should have my own blog!

You can't take that one all too far. Let's try another comparison:
Courtney Love and Q!
Both claim to have an external locus of control.
Both think they're all-powerful but are really brats.
Both wear too much make-up.
More?

Courtney and Q: I'll bite!
Courtney: Has suspiciously blonde (sort of) hair.
Q: Has suspiciously thinning hair for immortal superbeing.
Courtney: Has a band called Hole that no-one seems to like.
Q: Could make Hole popular with a snap of his fingers but won't because even the Continuum has a sense of decency and/or taste!
Courtney: Is the future Lwaxana Troi of rock.
Q: Dated Lwaxana Troi but it ended badly when she kicked his ass (see "Q in Law").
Courtney: Acts as though she's God.
Q: Acts as though he's God when slumming.
Courtney: Lives in a parallel universe where she is both beautiful and talented and fun to be with.
Q: Can be beautiful and talented and fun to be with but doesn't because then Picard might approve of him.
Courtney: Lives in mortal fear of exile from the Grunge Continuum.
Q: Lives in immortal fear of waking up in Seattle in Courtney's bed.
So Pam: how about Courtney and Marilyn Monroe?

I can’t think of any! You give me the difficult ones. How about ...
Courtney and Godzilla
Godzilla: once laid waste to Tokyo
Courtney: once got wasted in Little Tokyo
Godzilla: makes holes in cities
Courtney: tours cities with Hole
Godzilla: a terror to airplanes
Courtney: a terror on airplanes
Godzilla: sung about by Blue Oyster Cult
Courtney: sings and has a cult following (OK that was weak)

OMG, I haven't laughed so long in all of my life

OMG--were we ever that young and carefree? I don't even remember any of this stuff but I do say it is kind of clever in a snotty brat kind of way.
