And I don't know about the rest of you folks, but there's just something about this explanation, especially from a guy who has the words 'junior member' under his name that makes me suspicious.

The second one is called "Beyond the Valley of the Dolls", screenplay by none other than Roger Ebert. It stars Dolly Reed, Cynthia Meyers, Captain Kangaroo, and William Shatner. The best part is where the mock turtle and Dracula go disco dancing on Gilligan's Island..

Happy Friday ya'll.

Thanks for the quotes Kool

And I'm off out this weekend for a craptacular chinese dinner at a restaurant I hate! But I have to go because... I don't know why I have to go? I am just going? But it will be followed up with plenty of beer and laughs. So it's not all bad.

Have a good one folks.

Thanks Kool!

It's blowing snow and freezing cold here. I'm ready to just be at home watching movies with Bladez. So ready.
It's been a weird week, some parts of it felt really slow, others really fast. (like a good night with a partner)

Hope everyone has a great weekend. I'm gonna try to make Canelloni with deer meat tomorrow night... should be interesting.

Happy Friday everyone. That seamas one is great. After looking at that thread I remember the first one the OP was talking about. Not sure what it was though.
Funeral, a wake really, for one of my buddies tomorrow at the bar. Then probably an ill hangover Sunday. Now that football is dead to me maybe I'll just sleep all day.

I am going to spend this weekend doing scientific experiments with slide rulers and beakers and stuff, trying to figure out something that has been bothering me for quite some time now. Why is it that giants in movies (and what I can only conclude to also be real life) Always move like they are in slow motion.

Maybe its just a perspective thing, they are at normal speed to themselves, and we are really fast, like a bunch of scurrying fire ants. Lets say I'm tapping my foot, I tape once each quarter of a second, if I giant was tapping his foot, it would seem like 3 seconds between each tap. If they were also counting in seconds, would it be 3 seconds to them or a quarter of a second. Which would mean our feet tapping occurs at a quarter of a quarter of a second.

Anyways, have a great weekend. I know I will.

Sorry to hear about your friend Lithonate.

Whose your football team?
And come on there has to be someone else to cheer for right?
I mean I spent all season pretending my Cowboys just didn't exist and cheering for everyone that was playing against the Mannings.
