Or maybe he just liked the red diapers.
I watched it once, just so I could say I've watched it.

I met some illegal Mexicans last night at a party. Several years ago I stayed with a couple of wonderful Mexican families in the Baja below California. These were well-off people. The homes, on average were beautifully tiled and some of them had mahogany inlaid walls, bookshelves and cabinetry that would cost a hundred-thousand dollars here. So, I’m guessing if they aren’t rich they’re very comfortable. The elderly not as well-off grandfather, while living in Mexico was receiving Social Security from the United States and owned a rent-free apartment in California which he used as his address to receive several forms of assistance checks from Californian agencies. He visited the apartment once a week to re-arrange things and make it looked lived in. He had a car, a Toyota Corolla that looked quite nice and had working air-conditioning. I gathered it was supplied as some form of assistance and he generally left it in California at the apartment. The apartment was about 1100 square feet and very livable. The grandfather told me most of entire complex, easily a 1000 units, were like him, on Californian assistance, but actually living in Mexico.
At the party were a couple of teenage boys from this family. Very nice kids. I’d be proud to have them as my own; diligent, hard working, trouble-free and much more adult than you’d expect from that age. They told me that they’d decided to go to high school in California instead of Mexico. They said that the (California) government gave them an apartment and they travel back to Mexico on the weekends. (I don’t know if they’re staying alone or if a family member is staying with them, but if I had to guess, they came alone.)
When I posted information on this family last time, Freepers angrily asked why I hadn’t reported them. Firstly, I was a well-treated guest. Secondly, this must be obvious to the casual observer. Even if I knew who to report it to in California, which I don’t, it is obvious that this is how it’s done. These people are only taking advantage of “benefits” put there for them. Not to avail themselves of these benefits would be like deciding not to take candy freely offered to you.
Egad.

I couldn’t remember the plot (or if there was one), so I just looked it up. I think this sentence from the plot summary sums up why Zardoz isn’t on the American Film Institute’s list of the 100 Greatest Movies:
“As Zed divines the nature of the Vortex and its problems the Eternals use him to fight their internecine quarrels.”
Image 19: “I’m not quite certain about this!”
May she grow to stomp her enemies under her heels and create ruination upon them!
*And all the creatures in the underdark wailed in agreement*
Nice haircut, Sally!
I meant to delete that, instead of uploading it.
That reminds me, there's a wristwatch going off at 6 a.m. in our bathroom. I need to find it and put it under Bill's pillow instead.
Thanks for sharing
Don’t!
The look she’s giving is a good one.
I don't know how the polls are running, but based on the photos, I think you should keep her.
They are vengeful when hungry.
Awesome pics. Is that red hair on her head? :o]
I’ll have to ask Frank. When Tom was born, Bill considered him for a few days, and then said, “You can take him back to the hospital now. I’ve decided I don’t want a brother.”
No, it’s probably just the lighting. The tiny hairs seems to be brown.
Oh, 19. I was looking at 16, the one where Tom is all yellow.
Awwww... What a cutie!
Tom's quite lucky you didn't keep the receipt.
When San was born, Ichi went to school (third grade) and told his teacher and class that we had named her "Pots and Pans." We cleared that up with the school.
He is his father's son.
Ni wanted to take her for show and tell. Given that the school didn't allow pets at S&T, we assumed newborns were a no-go.
Thanks Face. I’m bookmarking this post.
TC, Kathleen is beautiful!
Thanks for the pictures.
