@vodkanaut: You're allowed to like whatever you want, in direct proportion to how far you are from high school. Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm going to spool up Fame on my Betamax.

@SavetoFavorites: Are you threatening my goats?

@PolkPanther: I've netflixed(new word!) all the decent Hollywood stuff I didn't see when it came out, and find that the films I enjoy most tend to be European. With subtitles. Which is a pain in the ass when you're mincing garlic. Do me a favor and see "A Prophet"

@SavetoFavorites: I should point out that there are no rats in my post.

@SavetoFavorites: Ahh, you hit a sweet spot there. The grocery store bit kills. Find it if you haven't seen it. I'm too lazy.

I'm pretty sure I'm better off watching Inglorious Basterds for a second time than anything else on. Dissenting opinions?

@UweBollocks: Is it true that, before he shot the second brother, he shouted "Now it's your tern!!"

@UweBollocks: They shoulded have ducked.

@Phintastic: I wish you could respond to them without tacitly approving them. I've left a lot of umbrage on the sidelines.

@vodkanaut: I'll adjust my ascot a bit for a sec. Okay, a really expensive(for me) Barolo(Italy's greatest wine) to wash down some beef tenderloin. The sides may have bested the beef, but I'm pretty sure no one cares.

@UweBollocks: Purposeful strides. Or, if you're in NY, get the cheapest flowers at a Korean deli and just run. It works like a police siren, and you emasculate the significant other of every woman you're, let's face it, basically running over.

@Same Sad Echo: I bet you live on the east coast. You should see the terrible aisle discipline shown in a Nantucket grocery store in August.

@Always Winning: Irish author kind of thing. Forgive me.

@FIFA-Thespian-Federation: I want to read that(you're allowed to skim if there's no test).

@Always Winning: If you're going Irish, read "A Star Called Henry", by Roddy Doyle. A fun picaresque read. And for the love of God don't read the sequel. Dreadful.

@All Over But The Sharting: The first one is great, and they're not Vollmanesque commitments.

@CalvinandJahv: Set up gin stations at all of the prime number miles.

@ReggieDunlop: They're not new books, but you ought to read Tibor Fischer's "Under The Frog" about communist Hungary and basketball, and for all you dickhead intellectuals, "The Thought Gang." I promise you that you will like it.

@All Over But The Sharting: In retrospect, it was an unwise decision by me to take your son. Sorry.

@FIFA-Thespian-Federation: You have to break a hip or something(it's 2500 page commitment), but if you like that you have to read Shelby Foote's Civil War trilogy. The best epic written since The Aeneid.
