They got pissed at me a couple of weeks ago for saying it was awful, but let's face it. I'm a dick.

It doesn't have anything to do with age, you just need to stop hanging out with dumb fucking people. Everyone should get a Beatles reference.

Phail, people.

Also, if you hadn't pulled a disappearing act last night, we'd be in Mollie's Nipple right now.

I'm a good week or two away before I start working on my play or summer reading assignment, I should check it out from the library.

Poor Gurney, he almost got worm-hooked by a sprat.

Ha, that made me laugh out loud.

Yeah, sorry to pressure to read it, that's wrong....but it really is a seminal piece of sci-fi literature, and it will enhance your enjoyment of the film, even if it will demonstrate just how much the film phails.

i could be persuaded to look though, if you say the magic word.

I want to see a Bruckheimer remake of Rain Man with that kid from American Pie in Tom Cruises role and Daniel Day Lewis in Dustin Hoffman's role. Hilarity ensued.

No spoken words · 07-05-2008, 12:44 AM

Ok, fine, here it is:

The song "If it isn't Love" by New Edition? I like it. Whatever. I already admitted to crying when REM played "Gardening at Night" at their HOF induction, might as well keep admitting stuff.

No, I understand. I've been meaning to read it for some time anyway, now seems to be the right time.

Maybe it's an un-filmmable book or series, but I've got the slightest inkling that it has to do with David Lynch being a fucking basket case.

This is, after all, the Internets. The Bar can be whatever you want it to be, but to say that it's destroyed is a little overly dramatic, if you ask me. Message boards, as I'm sure you know, are fluid, and there will be turnover no matter what. It's like anything else in life, and even one year from now, the Bar will be unrecognizable, with new posters and the like.

Just my 0.02 cents.

You're right though, it's fluid, and will have crests and troughs depending on the topics available and users posting there. If I'm being overdramatic, it's just that I'm a little disappointed is all. Not mad at anyone in particular.
