I noticed for the first time that Josephus called Oedipus (sp?) a MF'er.

Great flick.

[xsmommy]

[RikaStrom]

Hi Pet. I miss you guys too, but luckily I stole my lunch hour time. :-)

[camle]

[SCalGal]

That's the best one I've heard yet!

[camle]

oedipus? that was a complex film...

[SCalGal]

Common sense would have the PC police all over that religeous intolerance, but oh, no.... not our PC police.

[RikaStrom]

That film is terrific! LOL

Ok gang, I am going back to work, I will see y'all a little later.

[camle]

"do you want to.... want to... do you want to dance?"

[NeoCaveman]

"One of you has already betrayed me"

"Judas!"........"Do you want the soup"

[camle]

"gee, when you die at the palace, you DIE at the palace!"

where'd everybody go? awfully quiet here...

[xsmommy]

i'm still here, honey bunch.

did you see this by Christopher Hitchens ? i agree with those that say despite the snotty tone, he is actually complimentary of Pres. bush.

[camle]

I don't find it coplimentarry at all. he disses Mini-me constantly. Would he say the same of Igor? No way. despite the fact that on all measurable attributes, Mini-me outperformed Igor, the press orthodoxy still puts our the mantra that Mini-me is stupid.
I have a pproblem with this "Truth be damned" attitude.
and I have thought better of hitchens.

[NeoCaveman]

Left handed compliments abound in that article.

[camle]

thinking of you dearie...

[NeoCaveman]

Lookie what I found on another thread. Thanks to CD.
