You know, if you have to take Pepto Bismol regularly for hangovers, you might think about drinking less, rather than adding your hangover cure to ice cream....

I can't imagine taking my kids to PotC, not that I'll be seeing it myself. Scooby-Doo is pushing the envelope for them.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

What Gudanov said. Just....damn.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Holy crap, Laura. That's got to be really really hard.

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"

I've read both the cat and dog diaries before, but this -

Today I decapitated a mouse and dropped its headless body at their feet. I had hoped this would strike fear into their hearts, since it clearly demonstrates what I am capable of. However, they merely made condescending comments about what a "good little hunter" I am. The audacity!

- is a thing of beauty.

I can't imagine taking my kids to PotC, not that I'll be seeing it myself.

See, what with reading all about Mel Gibson's arrest and all, I've been seeing the above as "Passion of the Christ" all day. Talk about scary...

What is even happening?

I saw lots of small kids at PotC: DMC, too. It sort of weirded me out because it was awfully scary for young children but a lot of people just don't seem to care anymore.

I remember when Scott and I went to see Dracula (the Keanu one) years ago, being appalled to see little ones there (not babies either, just old enough to be scared, young enough to not be quiet about it). If I recall correctly, it was a late-ish show, too (9:00pm or after). It's just selfish. It's not fair to the other audience members, and it's not fair to the child. Go see a movie for kids, or go do something else.

I wouldn't take them to that either.

Now tagless for your comfort.

I've seen very young kids at R rated thrillers. I don't mind infants (especially sleeping ones). I actually felt sorry for the lady who brought her wee babe into Brokeback Mountain thinking the kid would nurse/sleep through it. He didn't so she got up and left. But when I see someone bring a 3 or 4 year old into a movie with blood, gore, shootouts and graphic sex/violence I just want to slap the parents. I wonder why the theatres even allow them in.

We went to see PoTC last night

So did we! And we brought a flask full of rum to put in our Cokes!
