Too much work. Plus, I'm not sure where the damn fish flag is.

tPBM can't believe that a friend is planning on getting married next Labor Day.

I'm more annoyed by the friend who planned a bachelor/bachelorrette party the same weekend as Halloween yet they are not getting married until Jan 2012. Why would you do that?

TPBM hates Halloween parties.

Yeah, I don't actually do well with default holidays, even hollowe'en. I think I never found the right crowd. The one with dinner parties and wine and witty remarks and discussion of books. Those parties that involved playing quarters never made sense to me.

TPBM thinks that writing a novel in response to lazerfox's statement was a bit much.

Well you're a likely suspect, for sure.



TPBM eagerly awaits the release of "Human Centipede - Full Sequence" because they enjo.... er, appreciated the original as much as I but really wishes they would've kept the scene where Martin wraps his penis in barbed wire before er, servicing the woman at the end of the centipede. Hey, it's art people, it's meant to provoke.

Just because it provokes doesn't make it "art". Intelligence is a required part of artistic creation, without that it's just a monkey throwing poop at you in the zoo.

Well, I've never seen an entire series as aired on PBS. Seen bits and pieces of something on the Civil War and Baseball I think but I don't invest that kind of time on TV.

Aside to Eric, I don't know if it's harder to believe you actual saw the movie and deemed it wasn't conceived/executed with intelligence or that you would make such a statement basis some synopsis and hadn't actually seen it based on an aversion to the subject matter. IMO, you could call it many things, but unintelligently conceived isn't one of them.

Incredulity is a daily state for TPBM
