Idiocracy In case anyone's curious, Idiocracy is out in limited release. Lucky for me, Atlanta is one of the test markets. This movie is really funny! The premise: average guy from the present gets frozen and wakes up 500 years in the future, where he is easily the most intelligent person in the world. Really great satire of how moronic our culture is. If you liked Beavis & Butthead and Office Space, you will want to see this movie. Hopefully it will open nationwide soon.

Of course, after the treatment, there has to be counseling for the grief and post-traumatic stress disorder.

How 'bout that, he converted to Islam right in the middle of your post.

The least you could've done would be to include a pic... Sssexxxayy!

That's pretty funny. I like the no nonsense style. Is he a Bills fan? If so, I'd like to know what he thinks of our chances this year.

Granted--it's a fine line to walk. Basically, if you get results, you're a genius; if you fail, you're burned at the stake.

I've heard people say about JP: He's a great natural athlete and he is smart, but sometimes he tends to do things his way instead of the "right" way. I actually found this encouraging. This is one of those paradoxical things that one ends up saying about great winners/leaders. It made me think of JK (and Favre and a few other people). These are the confident, creative people who are not afraid to set a higher standard.

I know for a fact that this is fake. It doesn't make sense for them to bronze their baby's stinker because real Scientologists poop solid gold. Ask any 50 trillion year old, uh... space alien's, uh... spirit or something.

I don't mean to intrude upon Mr. King's pseudo-professionalistical statisticular-ogical analytic-type pontifications, but the "BEST CASE" for all teams is still 19-0 and Super Bowl Champs. Thank you. Ok, bye.

Welcome to the board.

He is descended from vampires. That is why he cannot expose his skin during daylight hours.

Welcome to the board!

Uh.... something Gene Shalit would say?

I'm with ya on that too.

That's ok. USA Today isn't good for much. Unless you're looking for Factoids and colorful pie charts with little cartoon graphics. JP will be making a name for himself shortly.

Uhm... I hate to be the one to break it to you, but when these girls say to you, "oh my god, what an incredible prick," they don't mean it as a compliment.

What the hell kind of breakfast do you guys have over there?

I once knew a woman like this whose favorite expression was, "you can never have enough rules." And then she'd stand there for a minute with the most terrifying panicked expression on her face. These people love their stupid Rules--they can't get enough. It's like an erotic obsession with them. They are sad, lonely, spiteful, desperate people. I hope you're able to talk some sense into them so your neighbor can keep her pets and you can live in peace.

It is clear that you are correct, according to the wording here. Some of these association people wear me out with their stupid crap. They make life not worth living.

Happy B-day, meazza!

Way out west [-ern New York] there was this fella I wanna tell ya about. Goes by the name of stevestojan. At least that was the handle his loving parents gave him, but he never had much use for it himself. See, this stevestojan, he called himself "The Sh%#". Now, "Sh%#" - there's a name no man would self-apply where I come from. But then there was a lot about the Sh%# that didn't make a whole lot of sense. And a lot about where he lived, likewise. But then again, maybe that's why I found the place so darned interestin'. See, they call Buffalo the "City Of Angels"; but I didn't find it to be that, exactly. But I'll allow it as there are some nice folks there. 'Course I ain't never been to London, and I ain't never seen France. And I ain't never seen no queen in her damned undies, so the feller says. But I'll tell you what - after seeing Buffalo, and this here story I'm about to unfold, well, I guess I seen somethin' every bit as stupefyin' as you'd see in any of them other places. And in English, too. So I can die with a smile on my face, without feelin' like the good Lord gypped me. Now this here story I'm about to unfold took place in the early 90's - just about the time of our conflict with Sad'm and the I-raqis. I only mention it because sometimes there's a man... I won't say a hero, 'cause, what's a hero? Sometimes, there's a man. And I'm talkin' about the Sh%# here - the Sh%# from Buffalo, New York. Sometimes, there's a man, well, he's the man for his time and place. He fits right in there. And that's the Sh%#. The Sh%#, from Buffalo. And even if he's a lazy man - and the Sh%# was most certainly that. Quite possibly the laziest in all of Erie County, which would place him high in the runnin' for laziest worldwide. Sometimes there's a man, sometimes, there's a man. Well, I lost my train of thought here. But... aw, hell. I've done introduced it enough.

Yup. And Ditka started talking about his flimsy wet noodle on national tv. What a world!

Hey-ohhhh!

1. Arrested Development, season 3 (I avoided watching any of these episodes last year on tv just to save them for the dvd release) 2. The new M. Ward album (His last album, Transistor Radio, was a masterpiece in my opinion. If you like any of these artists, you should check out M. Ward: Nick Drake, Elliott Smith, Dylan, L. Cohen) 3. The new Dylan album (I'm hearing good things about this) I'll be excited in all my dorkdom as I drive to Borders tomorrow to pick these up. Also, guess what: I deserve it.
