Waiting in line at the post office.
Everyone speaking Spanish.
TV on the wall playing the movie “Time Bandits” at high volume.
Did I miss something? This must be the future.
As brave new worlds go we could do a lot worse.
Humor
The lady doth protest too much.
Via Michael Blowhard comes a learned disquisition about men and their many ways of expressing their love for their women. Personally, I am shocked to learn that some men behave this way. I have never met any men who do such things.
The hundred best movie bastards
The Chud movie website presents their list of the hundred best bastards in film.
The bastards are sub-categorized as ‘Asshole’, ‘Cad’ and ‘Role Model’. I for my own part don’t care much for assholes and cads, but everybody needs a role model. I was thinking about Rutger Hauer in The Hitcher or Michael Douglas in Wall Street. I’m not quite sure whom I should emulate, go with the money or hitch a ride:
Hauer, at his most placidly nutty, then decides to torment the young lad by killing everyone he comes in contact with and playing a lethal cat-and-mouse game across the desert. In his defense, there’s really not much else to do out there.
Make a killing at the stockmarket, or make a killing, period? Now that’s a tough call to make. I’ll have to think about that a while.
Either way, did anybody else find a new calling after reading that list?
Be all that you can be!
