It's not a question of where he GRIPS it ...

So we watched Hitch (which was quite good by the way. Well, except for one tiny, niggling detail: Was I the only one who noticed that the males in the partnerships were mostly geeky or overweight or middle-aged but all the females were tall, thin, young, and beautiful? Kiss my broad arse, Hollywood. What's up with that? What a great message guys: "She must look good. A female 's primary worth is as an item to show off." Does it matter if she has any other valuable traits? Not in my experience. When the package is wrapped spectacularly enough there doesn't have to be anything in the box. But us plain brown-paper-wrapper gals ... well, we gotta cultivate our skillz. I, myself, chose blow jobs.)

Uh, anyway ... Hitch.

At some point they showed the female lead watching what Evil Genius Husband informed me was Jerry McGuire. Despite having never seen the film, I instantly recognized the dialog: it was the "you had me at hello" bit. So I got curious about finding a site that listed these oft-quoted film lines. I mean, we say them all the time. You hear them almost daily. They're part of the fabric of our society and many people don't even know where the line they're quoting came from (they're also often misquoted). I found this site that had a top 100 film quotes and in turn found this, a site with WAVs of classic lines. I was checking out the Monty Python & the Holy Grail ones and giggling helplessly. The delightful thing about Monty Python is that almost every fucking line is funny.

Check out that WAV site. They have thousands.

Speaking of gripping it ...

I think that my mutant power might be the ability to see sexual references. Everywhere. I don't mean actual sex acts nessessarily, although that would be fucking great, but, like where they're not supposed to be. I think it was Maxim magazine that called this 'unintentional porn'. I mean I see this sort of thing everywhere. Everything reminds me of sex.


This candy bar reminds me of sex.
















This jewelry is clearly sexual.








This makes me think of of sex. Well, OK, OK, maybe this one is a tad more ... overt.
















Doesn't this one make you think: "Oh my stars and garters, that's one Beastly impressive package!"
















And what about this guy? Tell me that doesn't look like some big whopping extra bit of sentinal equipment there.
