I am not insensitive to disabilities.

I do not like to use slurs or slanders in a derogatory manner.

I do not know if this is really real.

I am not always on top of the popular internet memes.

This may be old.

But I never saw it before, and it's funny.

Happy Friday.

Show us a bird native to your habitat.

We have a lot of grackles here. They're prolific, gregarious and very vocal, and come in lady brown and bad boy black.

Grackle Girl

Every year in the fall they congregate in a certain part of the city in the thousands.....the noise of them roosting in the trees is almost deafening. Just so happens to be around the local Target.

This here's a tale for all the fellas
Try to do what those ladies tell us
Get shot down cause you're over zealous
Play hard to get an females get jealous
Ok smartie, go to a party
Girls are stancin the crowd is showin body
A chick walks by you wish you could sex her
But you're standin on the wall like you was Poindexter
Next days function, high class luncheon
Food is served and you're stone cold munchin'
Music comes on, people start to dance
But then you ate so much you nearly split your pants
A girl starts walkin, guys start gawkin'
Sits down next to you and starts talkin'
Says she wanna dance cus she likes the groove
So come on fatso and just bust a move.

.......

Don't ask why. Just go with it.

Someone want to bother explaining the purpose of Twitter to me?

I'm just not getting it.

Twit, twat, twut.

More genius from Simon.

I'm no prude, by any means, but I have a problem when people cross the line with what's appropriate in a given situation.

I'm searching for a free site to send a big file to one of my vendors, since our FTP is all hosed up. I Google "free file transfer" and a bunch of services come up on the list. Right up near the top there's one called "bigupload.com" that says it offers 2000mb free file transfer, hosting, etc etc....so I click on that one.

And what comes up? A page full of porn.

Oh, there's a file transfer box there too, but the majority of boxes are of a different ilk.

IN-appropriate.

Right. Like I'm going to use your smut-infused site to send print files to my vendors. Wouldn't that be nice? "Dear sir....please use the link below to access the production files we talked about, and while you're downloading, watch barely-legal co-ed teens stuff all three holes with massive cock. Feel free to contact me with any questions."

Fucking idiots.

Don't believe me?

....very cool.

Better than the first? Well, different than the first. More lush, more effects, more money dropped on it, clearly. Characters were just as good though. Maybe a little jumbled with the plotline, but it's hard to complain.

One thing though.....Selma Blair.....um...cute butt and all, but the girl can't act. Sorry. I've had pizzas delivered better than some of her lines. Meh.

And I really wish I wasn't prepped for this film by an endless barrage of trailers for abysmally bad action movies. By the time the studio logo came on I was ready to drink the Kool-Aid. Ech.

The rumor has been around for a few months but it's the first I heard.....talented fantasy director Guillermo del Toro is seriously considering doing a Doctor Strange film after his adaptation(s) of The Hobbit.

Dr Strange

Well well well......this is just the treat of treats, I say.

I've always been a fan of Doctor Strange, and his occult spin on the whole Marvel superhero genre. While all the other snazzy-spandexed boys and girls were biffing and kapowing their ways across, over and under Manhattan and L.A., the good Doctor was battling extraplanar nasties and basically keeping the whole universe safe for all the rest of us Dorito-eaters here on Earth. If I remember correctly, Doc had something to do with Silver Surfer showing up here too. Whatever. He's cool, and I'm glad someone of caliber will be working on the project.

"I talked with Neil Gaiman [about writing it]," del Toro told EmpireOnline. "I said, that's an interesting character because you can definitely make him more in the pulpy occult detective/magician mold and formula than was done in the Weird Tales, for example."

The filmmaker continued, "The idea of a character that really dabbles in the occult in a way that's not X-Filey, where the supernatural is taken for granted. That's interesting."

Hell yeah.

Honestly, I'm surprised there haven't been more Doctor Strange films attempted. He's an old-school Marvel guy, after all, and they've found plenty of excuses to plop boring old Hulk on screen for us.....not to mention some mind-blowingly awful adaptations of other characters.

Maybe it's best that del Toro is the first to grab hold of this one, come to think of it.

He's got a penchant for giving fantasy a deadly serious tone. And so does Neil Gaiman. I think this is going to be one to watch for. I'm hoping to see Hellboy II soon, and I really enjoyed The Orphanage and just watched Pan's Labyrinth on Blu-Ray the other night.....which, by the way, looked gorgeous in the hi-def version.

Now if we could only get Gui interested in doing a new Conan film.....  ***giddy geek laughter***

....is not very new at all. But since I haven't had that fancy H-B-O thing until just recently, I never got a chance to watch it.

Now I'm hooked.

I love running jokes. Charlie Brown's football, Dagwood's sandwiches, Calvin's G.R.O.S.S. (Get Rid Of Slimy girlS) club....and Norm's "I guess it must be free" joke.

Keepin' it alive.
