I think we have all extended our legs, and had them royally pulled by the what. (and that’s a vision I’m going to abandon right now).He just thrives on the attention.
He has no answers. There is no spoon. (Matrix reference)
There is no one behind the curtain. (Wizard of Oz reference)
So along with Breaking Away, let’s have movie night. We can toss in Mad Max, Escape from New York, Logan’s Run (for Polemicist), and Apocalypse Now and look for the what.
What-ie made it into an Onion article?
Ok, so now we know what’s on The What’s list of things he wants to do before he dies…
Hey what?, that’s what The Onion article said you’d say.
“You didn’t answer my question, What.
I’m waiting….”
You didn’t suck my balls
I’m waiting….
The What
Someday this war is gonna end…
I’m going back to my roots. You know my one year anniversary is coming up!
Someday this war’s gonna end. That’d be just fine with the boys on the boat. They weren’t looking for anything more than a way home. Trouble is, I’d been back there, and I knew that it just didn’t exist anymore.
Captain Benjamin L. Willard – Apocalypse Now
The What
Someday this war is gonna end…
“Let’s say of goodness sake (Using Pareto Law) about 20% of these Mortgages has to be “written off”.”
I put this phrase into Google translator (Codswallop to English) and it said you meant “for argument’s sake”
Ah, the quarries at Bloomington. Wasn’t that where they shot Breaking Away- one of my favorite films of all time? I was more of an in the woods type- would not recommend. scratchy, itchy and dirty. And squirrels watching.
I’m with you on the parachute jump except in my case I would just pass out and wake on the ground, then be royally pissed at having missed the whole thing. Ditto in the angst filled experience but it wasn’t at Walden. Might have been better if it had been. My parents were great ballroom dancers- they didn’t pass on the gene however.
You’re right, bxgrl, and I’m told “you can’t take it with you”, so who cares about the change. I’ll subsitute it with “touring the Dyker Heights “Mansion””.
Noki, please promise to tell me more about your escapades in the limetone quarries in Bloomington when we next meet! I just added it to my list!
Yep, we have to get moving, although the What is characteristically inconsistent in providing the countdown, which tends to be a moving target in itself.
