Waste Make Haste
i've been arguing with TTN on his blog about baseball, steroids, congressional waste and outrage.
i'm trying to decide if i enjoy it or not.
on one hand, i like having a good argument. on the other, he and i don't always communicate so well. he's all in a snit because congress wasted taxpayer money in some grandstanding session investigating steroid use in baseball. he thinks baseball can police itself and there's more important things for congress to busy itself with.
i think steroid use in athletics is as offensive as ashlee simpson lip synching and baseball wasn't going to police itself. and, sure, that congress is wasting our time and money.
for TTN, the congressional waste is more important. to me, congressional waste is completely standard and picking this session to get outraged about seems counterproductive.
but is arguing about that fun?
no. i think i'll stop.
to repent, today's helpful blog post will about things that are fun to argue about:
ahem.
Things That are Fun to Argue About
a list by xz for your altercating pleasure
1) Can you make a persons head implode with mind control?
2) Are we there yet?
3) Are these things fun to argue about?
4) Is hoo-ha an acceptible term for a woman's gentials?
5) When, precisely, did Al Pacino start sucking?
6) How bad does a movie have to be before it gets good again?
let's take #6. anaconda? so bad it's good. matrix revolutions? just bad. the core?
so so so so bad it's brilliant.
million dollar baby? fucking awful.
really. oscar my ass. that movie sucks unwashed penguin tailfeathers.
arguments? anyone? c'mon. it'll be fun... except the part where i compare the scene with the mentally disabled kid and the water bottle to having your eyes checked with an ice scraper and a bottle of windex.
what? be more positive? i'm so negative lately?
i guess that's true. sorry. i've been a little worked up. the wedding and all. plus bartlebee's been double busy with her thesis and she's not around as much and that means i'm picking up more poop.
in a bag. poop in a bag!
why the hell anyone reads this blog is beyond me.
#4/5: al pacino started sucking when spent the entirety of 'scent of a woman' yelling "hoo-ha!".
1. Yes.
2. No.
3. Yes.
4. Yes -- but only in the South.
5. Scent of a Woman, at least.
6. Difficult question. Sucking is not a linear quality. Perhaps it would be easier to think of it less in terms of "how much" a movie sucks and more in terms of "in what way" does it suck.
