sailorhathorBut I'm not, I'm posting here! Just a quick one to yack about nothing, before I go make my dad and I something to eat.
North Texas has a very large Christian population. Everyone's going nuts over the The Passion of the Christ movie. One local minister saw the movie, then turned around and bought all 6,000 tickets for the opening day at this Plano theatre here, so he could give them out to his congregation. I would think he had some left over; he probably gave those out to strangers or something? Don't know. I wonder how he afforded it?
Anywho, I'm happy that any religious group has something that renews their faith; got nothing against that. But, why is it The Passion of the Christ? That sounds goofy. Wouldn't The Passion of Christ sound better? Just has a nicer ring to it to me. Mel Gibson, you user of extra "the"s!
This morning I watched one of Richard Jenni's old stand-up comedy routines on tape and laughed so hard I thought I was going to cough up a major organ. It's always laugh, laugh harder, laugh so hard I'm snorting and hardly any other sound is coming out of my mouth, coughing fit, more laughing, wipe eyes, rewind and watch again. "It's Novembeeeer! You missed another year of schooooool! Get uuuuuuuuuup!"
Then I watched "Banned from Television 3." I am such a rubbernecker. I traded for this. It was really short, only about 30 minutes. POSSIBLY UNPLEASANT TALK AHEAD. One clip was of a bank robber holding some woman hostage, and a police sharpshooter got him in the head. Thing is, the guy was wearing a disguise, and when he was shot, the disguise went flying off. So it's like BLAM, and it looks like the guy's toupe goes flying. I wanted to insert a FWEE cartoon sound effect, 'cause that's what it looked like. I shouldn't be this amused with such a thing, I really shouldn't. Me go to hell now.
