Drexciya? Isn't that the name of that famous shemale pornstar? I didn't know (s)he made records. But the "Drexciyan race" references would explain all 'hir' extra...appendages.

point behind my new dogs & cats civil rights allegorical masterpiece: although they were born with odd hair/speech/ limbs/skin colors/digestive tracts/etc, the dogs and cats are fundamentally the same as humans and have the same feelings, emotions, desires, hopes, fears, cultural basis (most live in houses!), etc and should therefore be accepted and treated the same as humans!

statistics pls?

thats a deliberate caricature of some other argument on the thread, tardz

your problem is that you have gone through the time tunnel and are living in May 2007, just find the vortex again and your problem will be solved

(actually no the deal is, and this is a little weird: they're rereleasing the song this month as part of some desperate maybe-we-can-sell-records-this-way effort - the song, plus a b-side or two, and a ringtone of the song delivered directly to your sell. They have even come up with a name for this new product that combines the selling of music on a physical format & the transmission of music as data to your phone. You have to wait for the name of the product because it is just too awesome.)

(I do like this song though, think it's a clever little top 40 jam with some nice changes & and good placement of detail ("that bathroom Polo") but I have some typical-of-me issues with the chorus ("slashed a hole in all four tires?" no, you didn't; you either slashed all four tires, or you punched a hole in each one of the them, but you didn't "slash a hole" in anything, friend) - the verses though, they're good, and the bridge isn't bad either)

The Bourne Ultimatum

Well, folks, it's that time of year again. The time when we all gather round the fireplace to celebrate the miraculous birth of a child that happened over 2,000 years ago. No, I'm not talking about Andy Rooney! I'm talking about Christmas—and you know what that means:

Run for your lives! The fruitcakes are coming!

Now, if you're a loyal reader (This week's Tip of the Santa's Hat goes to Ann Marie Ganz of Portage, MI!) you know I've never been too nuts (or fruits) about fruitcake. But honestly, who is? The last time anyone actually took a bite of a fruitcake was 1952, and I should know—it's still sitting on my mother's kitchen table with a fork stuck in it. It was there so long she finally had to put it in her will…as the thing that probably killed her! Talk about a recipe for disaster. This one takes the cake!

But seriously, folks, if the mailman tries to bring one of those things to my door this year, I'll be spending Christmas in prison for assault with a deadly confection.

Turns out waking up to something that's about as crusty, old, and stale as Keith Richards is the least of my worries this holiday season. (Did someone say, "I Can't Get No Fruit-Filled-Confection?")

^^^This really reminded me of Custos

As did my blackeye gag on the Ike Turner thread

Plus the manuals that come with today's computers are, as far as I can tell, written in hieroglyphics! And is it just me, or are these things the size of a whale? We're talking after it went off Atkins! Computer manual? Sounds like an oxymoron to me. Like jumbo shrimp, or military intelligence. Maybe I should just pay a little more and get a computer automatic. I'm telling you, they're so complicated these days, I need a manual just to figure out my manual!

Check, please!

I always wanted the computer voice to malfunction and take on a Brooklyn accent or something.

You did need to point it out though. It was in the puzzled re-reading that the light went off. "Ah!" I said in my head "because it's cold out! Cold, cool!!"

I should be on this thread WAY more often

its not a compliment

it's, son

Feel free to start a thread where the female ILMer's can degrade and hoot and some blowdried beefsteak himbo's.
All's fair in lust and war, I say.
Then the "hens" can crow about Michael Bolton or Billy Ray Cyrus or Alex Alexexlaxalaxilaxis, while us Neanderthalitic, slope-browed "roosters" grunt in monosyllabic approval of some nice peice of tart.
(and while the "Hens" and "Roosters" are making mysog/androgonistic creeps of themselves, the "Ducks" can debate latex vs leather.)

Really don't miss that dude.

here's what i think they should do. marlo and omar run into each other down tropical way. it's super-tense but then who do they run into but the detectives of the western, who are ALSO down there on vacation!!! then they all team up and go after clay davis, who is running a smuggling operation down there. mcnulty and marlo have to team up! eventually they learn how to work together and even earn some grudging respect for each other. and at the end of the season they have a big party at prop joe's carribbean villa. with some lovely ladies ;) last shot, mcnulty drinking rum, looking at the bottle and saying, "i could get used to this stuff." (maybe him and bunk open a bar on the beach after it's all over)

i knew this day would come

slocki has always used his custos powers for good

where we would be without his posts on every serious movie thread about how the movie would play out as a cynical hollywood blockbuster

i love thinking about that

you're getting too old for this shit

SADDAM ARRESTED

I'm shedding a few tears over all of this, because on my birthday, when I saw the band the Sun City Girls play in Tacoma, no other than Saddam Hussein himself introduced the band. He even dressed up as Saddam Claus and threw trash out at us in a loving contempt for "our American kind". And he even did a free form synthesizer performance. What a travel expense this must have been for him.

that's actually funny

Maybe they should have titled this Indiana Jones and the Close Encounter Of The Third Kind

And at the end of it Indiana and everyone get kidnapped by aliens and then Spielberg shoots a new special ending for Close Encounters and it shows Indy stepping out at Devil's Tower with the US Air Force guys and he's all confused and Francois Truffaut steps up and says, "Hello, my real last name is Belloq, you killed my father, prepare to die" and the government forces at the Devil's Tower base are all really Nazis and Richard Dreyfus runs around and chaos ensues.

THERE WILL BE ALIEN BLOOD.

Sequence to end with Indy swinging on his whip over the scene and roundhouse kicking Moby into his DJ gear.
