You Know You Are A Freeper When..

I have done this semi yearly thread before and I would now like some additional comments from my fellow Freepers on this. If you have visited the past threads please post what you remember or what you have posted. If you are new to the thread please continue the list. Its always fun. :) Please keep it light hearted. We are talking about are Freeperism's. K?

1. You know you are a Freeper when you can tell your spouse or friends what the news is like all over the world but you cant recall any recent news happenings in your home town.

2. You havent seen the sun in so that long you are hoping that the monitor will give you a neon glow tan. Monitor tans aren't wrong right? LOL.

3. When you say that you are setting the table for three...that means you, the mouse, and Freepers.

4. When you polish the silver it isnt about your grandmothers plates....get out the .45.....we dont need alarm systems.

5. Your spouse wakes up and tells you the recent news, and you had posted it three days ago.

8. You spell check your childrens school papers and find yourself crossing out Hillary and putting in "Hitlery".

9. You can't sleep until you have argued, re-argued and then pinged your friends. We all have our priorities.

10. Relatives come over and wonder why you have photo shopped President Bush into your family photos.

11. You didnt go to your company Christmas party because you had some Freeping to do.

12. You no longer know the names of your family. You just pick FR screen names and hope they get the Freep mail.

13. You call out your spouses Freeper screen name in the heat of passion and he runs to check his freep mail. You never know what he might of missed.

>>"So, let me give you the scoop on "Howl's Moving Castle"....."

I'll bite...what's the scoop?<<

It's the best!
Studio Ghibli is still hand drawing the characters of their movies so watching one is like seeing an old (when they were good) Disney animation. The characters have slow deliberate movements because they are animated with more frames per second. It is art, real art, not the poo that Disney is putting out.

John Lassiter, who heads Pixar (Finding Nemo and the Incredibles) directed the English Dub so it is true to the story. When these movies have been dubbed in the past, the English soundtracks were so bad that people hated them. We have a set of these movies from Japan and we make the girls read the subtitles. Teaching with movies is great!

The diamond is the details. Things like doorknobs and ceilings are beautiful. Howl is a child in an adult's body so his bedroom is stuffed with toys, music boxes and mobiles. This is the kind of movie that you could watch over and over and never see everything. My little one and I are going back to see it today. Your boys should like it, lots Magic and some cool battle scenes (not a bit of it graphic).

It has been years since I have paid in a theater (my nephew manages one so we get in free, but his was not showing this). I waited two years for this movie, but GEEZ! the price! 10.00 a ticket! Whoa. You might want to wait until it's on DVD but at this point, it's still playing in theaters in Japan and our fellow FReeper Sushiman says they are not releasing it there until Fall. Who knows when Disney will grace us with it.

This is suppose to be Hayao Miyazaki's last film (although he said this before) This is the last of the great animated movie artists. If you are charmed by the movie, FReepmail me and I'll get you more of his work. It's like you have never seen from an artistic point of view. Do I sound like a commercial? I could sell for Studio Ghibli. Check it out.

Or take the boys to the Adventures of Shark Boy and Lava Girl. That was cute. Not a bit of it for adults, but not too cheesy. 3-D was cool too!
