They like to tip well.
But they have never tipped this well.
They expect to see more riots
Because of this.
They had it coming…
They have often considered — not that there is anything wrong with it — movies remade with clown themes. For example:
- Big Top Gun
- In Her Majesty’s Secret Circus
- Enemy Mime
Now, there is a new concept, brought to horrible life:
And they will know we are christians by our…
refusal to provide health care to their children.
(This may not be true, but it sounds like a likely excuse.)
They hope that this is christian behavior in the same sense that strapping a bomb to yourself and riding a crowded bus before setting it off is a muslim behavior.
Update: It is true, but it gets less interesting: the tattoo in question was a star of david. So now, we’re dealing with little more than run-of-the-mill antisemitism. Yawn.
So, the remaining question becomes:Â Does the hippocratic oath trump private rights?
A point of conversational clarification
Lately, the bear guys have come up in conversation. Confusingly so.
Firstly, there is the bear suit guy. He’s not dead; he’s been broke, but still alive.
Then, there is the grizzly man. You know, the one who tried to be Dian Fossey’s ursine equivalent. He’s dead. Being dead, money matters to him a bit less. As does the longevity of his watch. In holywood-terms, this is the one they would describe as a bear-fscker. Then, there is the astounding similarity to Steve Irwin — especially in death. Crikey!
Learning the details of the movie, they were tastelessly amused: Â money quote:
The film consists of Treadwell’s own footage of his interactions with grizzly bears before he was killed, and of…[redacted]
They really want to see this footage he made after he was killed, but not during. They think Herzog was right to ask the owner to destroy that recording. It would be too much like overplayed footage of the WTC attack/collapse. Herzog is smarter than CNN, Fox, NBC, ABC and CBS combined.
And, having seen him eat his shoe — for one of the films they think is the best ever made — they take him as a man of his word.
They like many of the results of technology…
For example, they found some fantastic quicktime panoramas that were taken on the moon.
Lots of choices, many possible solutions…
They hate hiccups, too. Out of this list — check the comments, too — which ones really work?
They are disappointed with you.
The statistics they read here are abysmal.
Money quote:
1/3 of high school graduates never read another book for the rest of their lives.
42 percent of college graduates never read another book after college.
80 percent of U.S. families did not buy or read a book last year.
70 percent of U.S. adults have not been in a bookstore in the last five years.
They presume that the survey(s?) involved were in the USA. America, they are very disappointed in you.
In many ways, this ties into a nice chart they saw about the relationship between IQ and other factors, which leads to a question they have: how many “average voter” types recognize any of these quotes?
