WTF is up with the following:

[1] the nose bleeds
[2] the weird face when the person dies
[3] the fly (although I guess that's just to show that the tape is "alive" or whatever -- and that things can come out of it)
[4] do you have to show somebody the copy to avail yourself of its protective effects?
[5] why does the father electrocute himself?

[1] I thought the nose bleeds were just a way of showing, visually that you are getting close to the seventh day -- makes death seem more imminent.

[2] The weird face is a product of the unbelievable shock and horror brought about by the little girl coming out of the tv to come and kill you. Dying from such a shock when you are perfectly healthy would surely cause your face to completely cave in from shock.

[3] Tape has a life of its own. Just kind of cool.

[4] No. You have to copy the tape to be spared.

[5] He knew he would never get away from what he created. He thought he could hide from what he created. But he can't. The only way to get away from her for him is death. It also seems that the fact that he created her has pushed him past depression into something more extreme, making him suicidal, apparently.

Actually three. The Post, the Union-Trib (not a real newspaper), and the Chronicle (a semi real newspaper).

I'll agree about the generally crappy stories.

Dallas Morning News, NY Times... It is the wave of the future. fuckers.

Oops. I lied. 4. Wall Street Journal. Only real paper in the bunch.

Now, you've got a dichotomy: the NY Times that finds John Kerry too conservative and the DMN which used to think that gun ownership should be mandatory for all U.S. citizens.

Dear Not Bob,

Although some have criticised my use of the "letter" format to communicate with you about certain matters, I find it useful in that it conveys the tone of constructive criticism, as opposed to mean-spirited flaming, that I think is appropriate for posts such as this one.

I am writing to inform you that the use of "tres" to modify an English word in a sentence otherwise filled English words is the equivalent to some of walking into a chic New York bar and loudly proclaiming "Do you have any Mojitos here? I understand they are super classy!"

I write to you because I care.

Fondly,

The Flower

Dear Flower,

Thank you for your letter. While others may find your periodic "Dear Not Bob" missives to be a stylistically inappropriate way of conveying your thoughts and concerns, I think that they are just hunky-dory.

As to the substance of your letter, I do realize that the use of "tres" as a modifier (in a Not French sentence) exhibits a certain, well, unworldly backwardness. Quite so. Although many aspects of my prole-ish board persona were not always created by me intentionally, I often attempt to embrace the "unsophisticated rube" image deliberately.

However, I understand that "I meant to do that" is often merely a lame after-the-fact rationalization. So, for the purposes of this letter, I will respond as if I did not mean to do that. Therefore, I accept your correction in the spirit in which it was intended, and I assure you that I will not make the same mistake again.

Love,

Not Bob

Makes me remember an old line from the TV commercials:

"We will make no wine before its time."

As someone with perfect recollection of the 70s (although a lot more fuzzy on the details of yesterday, for example), I can tell you that the line was "We will sell no wine before its time."


PS -- Kudos on the correct apostrophication of "its" -- although either would make sense here -- hmm.

but how do you feel about my avatar? I have a new one lined up.

This one?

my sister does framing. A woman came in with a few cards with fetus hand and foot prints. She miscarried for the second time- no kids yet. But she wants the cards framed to hang in the bedroom of her eventual kid so he'll know he had a brother. That is fucked up for the kid, especially if she has a few more miscarriages first.

Is this a Catholic thing where everyone has a soul starting at conception so you should treat it like a sibling? I am a confirmed Catholic but we didn't get to fetus handling.

Shit. Now I feel like James Garner (hey!) in "Victor/Victoria." A woman, pretending to be a man, pretending to be a monkey, pretending to be a woman ... Flinty, my head hurts by keeping track of all of this, yet I am oddly attracted to you.

Shit indeed. This is gonna kill off all primate jokes for a while.

I don't have a password to read DMN stories. Unwilling to help them boost their membership levels. belo-owned fucks. as a result, I am completely out of touch with the thrilling local news*, but somehow I manage to survive.

*unless it makes it onto the cnn webpage, like this little nugget.

Very enlightening. Thank you.


However, what do you mean he created her? Like some sort of Frankenstien thing? Breeding thing (like the horses)?

Did anyone else find it ironic that a 16 year old boy was shot and killed at a club/private party for two college fraternities??? And with "{a}bout 1,500 people milling about outside Eddie Deen's Ranch had been denied entry to the event hosted by two chapters of the Alpha Phi Alpha fraternity."
