I don't even want to know what NY roaches are like. Do they talk?
:what?:

Can you add some more inuendo and a few more double entendres to that post?

Oh my.

Now that I've reread it, I see your point. That's pretty bad. I should be spanked.

So you are saying you didn't see it before? I don't believe you.

No. Seriously. I've been called out for this before. I don't see the innuendos until they've been pointed out. My best friend is always the first person to call me on it, so I've learned to watch what I say around her. Apparently I have to watch what I say everywhere.

No reason to watch what you say. I always see the dirrrrrty side of things.

Yeah, so does my best friend - she can turn an innocent question about a burrito for lunch into a whole 'nuther conversation.

Was it a "beef" burrito? Was it all warm and gooey sitting there in your lap?

You might enjoy the following exchange between Roger Ebert and a fan on Ebert's Movie Answer Man site:

Quote:

Q. In your review of the first "X-Men" film, you stated that you were wondering how Wolverine, whose knuckles turn into switchblades, gets to be the top-ranking superhero --- as opposed to Storm, who should be more powerful because she can control a tropical storm. Would it not be correct to say that Storm can be killed by the switchblades that emerge from Wolverine's knuckles, whereas Wolverine's wounds would heal almost immediately?

Also, I think the top-ranking superhero would be Professor Charles Xavier, since, not only is he the leader of the X-Men, but can control the minds of every single human being and mutant on the planet Earth simultaneously. Total mind control must be the most powerful of all the mutant powers.

Mike Furlong, Roy, Utah

A. I persist in my notion that being able to create tornadoes and control the weather is a greater superpower than being able to heal quickly. Once Wolverine heals, he's still just a guy with blades on his knuckles. As for Professor Xavier, since he has total mind control over every human and mutant on the planet --- why is there an "X-Men" movie at all, since he could have controlled and solved everything before the movie began? No doubt I will receive the answer in communications from countless X-heads, but it does seem like a paradox, no?

Paradox, indeed. I implore you, Roger Ebert --- don't go there, for O! that way madness lies!

The movie is OK, and that's it. There isn't anything to like about the monologues. Evergy scene in Zion basically sucks. The acting is generally poor. The fights are good, but everything else brings them down because they fail to build anticipation for the fights.

One such example of "wizardry" occurred when a bad guy/wizard pointed his staff at a person, made the staff thunder and flash, and the person at which it was pointed dies (in real terms, killing someone with a shotgun or rifle). .... Any ideas what the series was called?

That sounds like the Shannara series by Terry Brooks. Where you've got druids running around with magic powers and whatnot. It might be something else though. I haven't read fantasy/sci-fi since college. It got boring becausethe stories all sounded the same after a while.

1) Longshot -- strange concept, would be glad if he didn't show,
2) The Sentinels -- an odd lot, a little too matrixy
3) The Brood -- Alien meets the starjammers
4) The new Storm (with the mohawk!). I always wanted to be the new storm.

Hey fake-boobs: Welcome to the board. Always good to see another west-sider representing (West-SAIIIIIDE).

Jack Manfred: Thanks for the heads-up. I got my Knitting Factory tickets for New Pgphers.

That is all.

Armed only with a single plot point and an abiding faith that nerds unfailingly build paean websites, thereby honoring the things they love with an unnerving solemnity, I was able to determine that the book series was something about "Horseclans" by some dude named Adams. And maybe his wife.

Favorite line from an Amazon reader review: "Only Anne McAffrey has been able to stir my emotions so well while reading a novel." I shit you not.

I had almost abandoned hope. All here: chimichangas, chili rellanos, pupusas, fish taco's, and good too.
