I saw a political cartoon in the T-FP last week that left me scratching my head a little.
It had a depiction of an Obama campaign button, but instead of Obama, it said "Robin Hood."
It also showed a depiction of a McCain button that said "Sheriff of Nottingham."
I assume this was a pro-Obama cartoon, but I think the message came across wrong...
Motives aside, didn't Robin Hood STEAL from the rich?
I've decided to institute a new day for us to opbserve. It's National "Don't Coerrect Your Typs Day." It will be obseved on Friday, 14 November.
Basically, it works like this: On ehgat day, no one correctas any typos in typed correspondence of a non-professional nature. This inslcudes, but is not loimited to, petrsdoanl emails, blog posts, comments on Facebook, etc. Of course, if you feel compelled to maintain a facade of professionalism in the use of professional communications on that day, please feel free to correct typso as you see fit. But for informal communcation, let 'em rip.
NOTE: This should really only appkly to peolpe who are conscientious about typing thinsg correctly. IF U USE GROSS MISSPELLINGS WHEN U TYPE OR TXT ON PRPSE, DIS DON'T APPLY 2 U.
Anyay, will you joing the cause and help me sprewad the word? I may start a facebook group as well.
And, in honor of the ovccasion, I have not corrected any typios ioj this post. How liberating!
Do you know I have to correct the word "poeple" almost every time I type it (it seems I always revers the "o" and "e")?
I just wanted to give a public shout-out to one of my lifelong favorite meals -- Chicken & Rice.I love the stuff. It's one of the few things I could stand to eat left over for several days in a row. Always has been.
First, there was my mom's: Boil and de-bone the chicken, cook the rice separately, and combine the two with a little salt & broth. Maybe she cooked the rice in broth; I don't recall.
Now my wife's which is different, but probably better: Rice in a casserole dish with a can of cream of chicken soup and some whole legs & thighs. Sprinkle salt, pepper & rosemary, cook covered w/ foil for awhile, then remove the foil and cook til it's no longer soupy.
I had it for dinner last night. I had it for lunch moments ago. I could eat it again for dinner tonight.
I watched 4 movies during my fall break in Florida.
21: Entertaining. I couldn't help thinking the kid playing the lead would have been Tobey Maguire if Tobey hadn't gone all Spidey on us.
Baby Mama; Had already seen it; still pretty good. Love Fey & Poehler.
Made of Honor: Not too bad for a chick flick, but I'm trying to figure out why Patrick Dempsey is suddenly so hot. To me, he still looks like the dork from "Can't Buy Me Love"
Lord of the Rings: Fellowship of the Ring: HOLY CRAP! THIS MOVIE ATE IT BIG TIME!
I can't believe how much I hated LOTR. People went so nuts over this movie, and it was an enormous bucket of steaming elephant urine. Maybe we shouldn't have watched the complete version including extended & deleted scenes, because this crap went on for almost 4 hours and I was only amused once. It had almost no elements that held my attention.
Thing is, my wife LOVED it. She can't wait to watch the sequels. I hope I'm never bothered with it again, because it was sooooooooo tedious.
Every now & then, my wife would ask, "Who was that? Who were they talking about there?" and I would wake up, mutter "Boromir," the only name I remembered, and close my eyes again.
I went into this movie with an open mind. I had resisted seeing it, but decided to give it a fair chance, since I had heard so many people say it was so good. But it wasn't.
And one of the sequels won the Oscar?
Murtaugh was angry, but these were angry times. The papers had been passed to him by the Indonesian operatives in Paris, but they had forgotten to enclose the instructions. Miffed at the ineptitude of his Asian counterparts, he stuffed the papers into the inside pocket of his worn, marmoset-skin fanny pack. Bitterly, he trudged up the path toward the snack bar where he would be able to find a pay phone that would allow him to call the Crisis Pregnancy Hotline.
Continued next week.
