[delayed comprehension slaps me around]

Oh. Now that I've read Bureau.... my comment about proselytizing was maybe 1% annoyance and 99% teasing. I apologize, because I think it sounded like the percentages were the other way around. I like reading the discussions here, even if (sometimes particularly if) they're about things I haven't seen. That's more likely to intrigue me than insisting -- but my mulishness is my own problem, obviously.

And for fear of dragging things off-topic again, I'll just say thanks, Gris & P-C.

Ok, did anyone know you can go to the SoaP website and send personalized, talking emails and phone calls from Samuel L Jackson to people? It's Funny As Shit.

Extremely late to the party but it only opened here a couple of weeks ago and, well... I saw Pirates 2 last night, and I think I have a definitive answer to the question Hec posed way back when about why Jack returns to the Pearl at the end:

He wants his hat back .

Heh. Fair point, Fiona.

So sad--Bruno Kirby died at the age of 57 from leukemia.

ETA: that article doesn't mention one of my all-time favorite films, The Freshman.

Aw, man. That is so sad.

Woohoo! Emily and I have tickets to see Snakes on a Plane tomorrow night.

Oops, sorry-- Emily and I have motherfucking tickets to see Mother fucking Snakes on a motherfucking Plane tomorrow night.
