I've been meaning to see it again too. I keep checking Tivo for a listing, but it doesn't seem to be making the HBO/Showtime circuit rounds. I do have some Best Buy credit that must be used. Hmm.

I never recognize movie quotes anyway. Even if I've seen the movie 100 times. Well, except for Office Space.

If you tivo the BL, you will get the comedy central version which clips half the dialogue. Fuck is the proper vernacular for our time

just buy it. it is the rare movvie that improves on viewing. the firts viewing you are looking for plot,l which is weak, so you are like, eh. then keep going. it is genius.

Worse, it dubs it. "You see what happens, Larry? You see what happens when you fight a stranger in the Alps?" They should have just cut the scene.

This is true. The first time I saw it I thought Donny was the best character. Then Jesus. Then PSH. I think I've finally settled on the Malibu Police Chief as the pivotal character. He really tied the room together.

Any of our beliefs about this are anecdotal. I propose a poll:

My answer to all of your poll questions is presently "No," but I'm catching up on the last season of SATC on basic cable and I think Baryshnikov could talk me into a couple of things that the church would certainly frown upon. But I would have to be the guy, IYKWIM, NTTAWWT. Do you think he reads craigslist?

The NYT obits are the only good I've gotten from from my DP involvement. But it is an almost daily interesting read- look at this image from today:

This case is receiving a lot of press because the dispatchers and cops originally thought it was a prank and didn't really respond. They've been playing the call on the radio a lot. Obviously, they should treat all calls as serious, and maybe the guy was trying to be quiet so the robbers didn't hear him, and maybe it wouldn't have mattered anyway, but the guy sure did sound a lot calmer than I would after being stuffed into a trunk at gunpoint.

We had to. It is a required element in certain ethnic weddings.

Among other ethnic groups....

The money dance is traditional in several different cultures. In most cases, it is a dance where the male guests pay for the privilege of dancing with the bride, although in today's weddings, the female guests also pay for the privilege of dancing with the groom. Each person who dances with the bride (or groom) gets just a few seconds before another guest cuts in. The money is for spending money for their honeymoon.

At Ukrainian weddings, the father of the bride usually leads, pinning money on her dress, followed by the best man and groomsmen, and then other male guests. At Yugoslavian weddings, male guests hand the dance money to the best man. At Hungarian weddings, the bride removes her shoes, placing them in the middle of the dance floor for each money partner to deposit the money. At Portuguese weddings, the bride's shoe is passed around for the collection. The custom began in America earlier this century by European immigrants who wanted to assure that the young couple had a few extra dollars to face the future with. It has endured in certain areas of the United States, while it is virtually non-existent in others. The custom also has its direct roots in both the Italian and Cajun heritages.

It is estimated that the Money Dance is done at well over half of all the wedding receptions throughout the United States. You can decide in which manner your dancing partner can deposit his/her offering . . . in a purse carried by either you on your wrist or held by the hostess, or, as is done most often, they can pin the money on the Bride's veil or the Groom's tuxedo. Pins are offered to guests by the hostess who stands on the edge of the dancing area by the waiting line.

The purse comes from Italian tradition, a variation of the "Communion Purse" that young girls years ago carried on their First Communion Day, and relatives and friends would put money in it as a gift on her special day. The fun-loving Cajuns brought out the pins instead.

What she said, only imagine it in a succinct and trenchant one-paragraph format.

When dancing at my own wedding with one of the guests -- from my husband's side -- I found myself not a little bit flummoxed; in fact, downright nonplussed when my dance partner was foisting the currency of the realm into my fist! Well, I NEVER!!! (After the face-slapping administered to the offender, my husband explained the ritual, and we all had a good laugh. In fact, you might even say, "We laughed and laughed. Oh, how we laughed!")

. . . there is a drunk creepy uncle with a thick accent fucking the fat bridesmaid in the VFW bathroom and a slide show of the happy couple that ends up featuring slides of the husband standing next to his Trans Am.

It was the American Legion hall, and I drove a Z-28 at the time. And my s-i-l isn't really that fat, but she was big-boned.

Ah, memories:

OMG! You are so right! I was wondering why my life lacked fun and it was right under my nose the whole time. Not enough weddings with dollar dances!

I guess I should dump this law gig and follow my bliss. I could be The Wedding Planner!!!!

Although BRC doesn't have you covered, Miss Manners does.

excerpt: "How do we put on the invitation that there will be Dollar Dances with the bride? I've been at weddings where guests were caught without the cash to participate." . . . .

. . . .Miss Manners is sorry to have to tell them all that she does not have a gracious and tactful extortion plea in her files, and that their qualms about sounding tacky, greedy and crude are fully justified. Only gimme-pigs regard their wedding guests as cash cows."
