Great lines I read in blogs this week:

It was like stepping right into the underground, and we smashed it against a wall for artistic purposes. Krista

Being spiteful is like drinking poison and waiting for your enemies to die. Living in Sin (LAist)

News:

Boxer Mike Tyson has filed bankruptcy. In the paperwork he claims a cell phone bill of $230.000. Dan Patrick on ESPN radio said that his bill is equal to somebody making a local call on a cell phone and talking continuously for 4 years and 37 days.

Mind blowing news:

It was pointed out to me that the United States has now been at war in Iraq for a longer period than it was in Europe. In Europe a complete victory over Hitler's war machine was accomplished and that included the liberation of several entire countries. In Iraq........er...uh.... Did I say that in Europe complete victory was accomplished? (stay tuned for my 9/11 post)

No I didn't forget that we had help in Europe.

My best comment this week:

On Binsk's blog re: her post "Which dead rock star are you" (meme)

I'm Rob Pilatus!! The dead half of Milli Vanilli.

You are Rob Pilatus! You knew you were a phony but when the chicks started stripping you decided better the illusion than the heartbreak of celibacy. When the broads, the booze, and the coke all dried up, you checked out.

Sports:

Chloe reminded me that Greece beat the U.S. in basketball. I remember when the U.S. sent it's first dream team to the Olympic games. One of the reporters asked a Brazilian player what he thought of the U.S. sending this team of superstars. He responded that he thought it was great. He said that by doing this, the level of the game world wide was going to be raised. How right he was. We've sent some stinker teams since then but I thought this one would win it all.

Entertainment:

There is a movie about to debut at the Toronto Film Festival. A movie that has many many people up in arms and crying out "you've gone too far!!" The movie shows the "assassination" of the current U.S. President. Digital effects are used to provide the illusion that "W" is murdered. Not only do I support the right to make such a movie, I intend to try to see it if it comes to Vancouver. I'll spoil it for you right now. It's a HORROR movie. The end shows Vice President Cheney being sworn in as president. Then he lets out a mighty MOO HOO HAH HAH, picks up a shotgun and starts peppering the fleeing crowd while yelling, "RUN you quail faced bastards!!"
