Legion, I don’t recall. The rest of the movie is very fuzzy in my brain, I just remember that one part because it shocked me at the time to see a wee one using such language. I wondered about her parents reading the script and saying, ‘yeah, my little girl can use these words over and over again as long as the check don’t bounce.’
I have a rule with my now 12 year old nephew. Auntie Snappy will by him anything under the sun that he asks for, regardless of the price….except video games. He knows not to ask me for anything of the sort. The closest thing to a video game he’s ever gotten from me was one of those portable Leap Frog learning game systems when he was 5. I damn near went broke buying learning games for that thing. I’m all for games that teach you something useful. I suppose things like Mortal Combat could be useful if you plan to patrol the streets of Iraq, but I’m still a bit doubtful.
Thank you all for your great advice yesterday, on the OT and by email, which I incorporated into what I said to my broker (well, except for the obnoxious suggestions, which, come to think of it, didn’t leave much). Anyway, all done. The condo deal is dead. My broker is so fine with it and has so moved on with it that she’s already got me making an offer on a garden duplex I really like more. I’m just very relieved that I hadn’t signed a contract yet.
If you weren’t eyeing such pricey cars…you’d be able to budget more for that house of mine you are buying.
“Pete, NYC transit cant get my ass to work in central NJ.” – what happens —you get constipated once crossing the river?
“[runs quickly into giant womb-like cave with No Girls Allowed sign hanging at enterance]”
That’s the PLUSA headquarters, you dope! And you missed the sign that says “Abandon Hope all ye Conservatives who enter”
