STOP THE LISTS!
Ben, not all fraternity types are brain-dead dickheads. A rather cheap stereotype. But happy belated birthday.
and, oh yeah, island of lost souls is on tcm in a couple hours…
‘What kind of a place did you say this was, Doc?’
‘I didn’t say.’
“You’re not really 21 until you wake up feeling worse than you did when you were throwing up on the street corner the night before.”
Then I didn’t really turn 21 until I was 25, and I immediately gave it up.
Ben, you’d be surprised but you’ll actually learn over time that those brahs mean well, despite their stupidity and the ways they don’t mean well, like their feelings for gay folk. Your best bet is to let them do their thing in their own corner and continue to do yours in your own.
Patapon, that book was excellent and some day I may buy a copy. Also, I am still in Japan, like a boss!
Ruby, I am the only person in the universe that dislikes that movie. For me it showed off more about the struggles of early sound cinema than it did make a good horror movie or at least a so-bad-it’s-good horror movie.

I dislike Island of Lost Souls, too. I didn’t want to say anything, but… I say we form a club, Polaris.
And Richie’s book is great. While I was reading it I wrote every single director he mentioned that I’d never seen anything from or heard before.
Stay funky, ya’ll!
i’ve never seen it but i like laughton a lot. get back to ya on that
My brother is 26 and he’s still 17. He’s spent the last few years on ‘Genetic welfare’.

Damn. I’ll never be twenty-one . . . .
Space Porn: The Helix Nebula, which is the death of a star and the birth of a white dwarf. It’s also massive—each of those filaments that make up the ring is bigger than our solar system.
^ what is this, Sauron??
There are plenty of other nebulae cosplaying better than that one.
Wow….
Polaris, what are you doing in Japan besides being a boss? I was there for two weeks in ’08 its an amazing country.
“…besides being a boss?”
As of tonight, karaoke until 5am with free booze.

I thought you weren’t a big drinker? lol
Wine tastes bad too. IT BURNS AS WELL.
Burns? Ben you were obviously drinking wine that wasn’t too good.
Maybe magic mushrooms are the key. HA HA HA
My mother didn’t tell me what flavor it was before I drank it. Cherry and Chocolate?
What the hell?
What the hell wine tastes like that?
Wine is wine. Either it’s good, ok, or horrible. Don’t read those dumb wine nerd labels. And ask someone you can rely on, at a good store, for recommendations.
It should NEVER burn the throat.
That’s hard liquor’s job. And even then, good hard liquor should warm your throat, not make you gag and choke because it hurts.
Either way, alcohol is a bit of an acquired taste. But once you acquire it, you should be able to tell the difference between something you should spend your hard earned money on and something you should leave in its accompanying paper bag.
The one birthday shot I had tasted the worst. It was supposed to taste like cake. It tasted like some exacted peppermint juices and mixed it with alcohol and chocolate. Everyone hated that one fortunately.
Yuck. Sounds like the average kind of woman was in control there. ;)
You should have had a good shot of whiskey or scotch or even bourbon instead.
Down with these frou frou drinks!
AHHHH how was your birthday??? Tell me EVERYTHING!
Vodka would have done just as well, straight up.
Shots should always be pure. That’s the way it should be done, dammit.
He sounds (a few pages back on this thread) clearly disappointed by his adventure, DFFOO, if not downright disgusted.
Yeah well, the first real drink I had was vodka mixed with cranberry and lime juice. That was some odd stuff.
Yeah I posted that before going to the previous page here…
But yeah, alcohol isn’t all it’s cracked up to be. And bars really aren’t that great… or even fun at all.
Maybe I’ve just been to the wrong bars, though.
I hate wine.
I like stout.
I like Cutty Sark and E&J.
I like Sailor Jerry.
I don’t like vodka.
Y’all know my steelo, Wit’ or without the airplay.
I keep some E&J, Sittin’ ben’ up in the stairway.

happy year of the dragon!
