in case you haven't seen the stryker bomb picture check it out. that is/was my vehicle. we got hit and that is the result. and there is the proof that i bled for such a worthless country...

but in other exciting fun developments, i just got the movie wonerboys stuck in my head. it is also a rocking book. but the movie was well made so that the two experiences are not at all that different. while i was across the pond i lent wonderboys and showed it to a fair amount of friends. they had never scene the movie and you can imagine my chagrin. frances mcdermot, michael douglas(in one of his best roles ever), toby maguire and katie"i married that freak of nature"holmses. oh let us not forget good ol' rip torn whose balls and cock can be scene displayed in the movie david bowie also starred in....can you name it?

okay so you have a great cast and an awesome script. and then great camera work as well as direction. but then i guess the reason so many people complained it was not as funny as i said it was, well simply put they are morons. take for instance another deployment we were on. filling the boredom with mini dvd players and movies someone asked for one and of course i'm recommending i heart the huckabees. i'm the bunk next to them watching of all movies sweet home alabama and i hear a stunned silence. and i turn around and no one who is watching i heart the huckabees is laughing. how is it possible that that material went so far over their heads???? i haven't the slightest clue. but then a smart artsy dude borrows wonderboys and watchess it with a nice guy but also an ignorant man. they return the movie asking how it was funny. and i'm like what about the dude that does an ass plant on thecar??? that was fucking hilarious. the transvestite with the tuba???? wearing the same perfume as the dean that the main character is cheating on. the tangle of love and crushes and the press of sex and all the pandering about for fame, money and getting some on a college campus. how was it not funny??? he shot a dog with a miniature gun. for christ sakes. he stole marilyn monroes sweater. downey jr. shit i forgot to mention him. and he's one of the greatest actors ever. it is pure traditional comedy. of the literary type. like those old novels with title s to chapters like, and today dave learns what it is like to have a snapping turtle bite his wang while swimming across the river. that shit's the traditional and most of it is still funny. hell has anybody ever heard someone say that saomething is rimbald? in a story in the french writer's famous novel a man gets even with a women by taking lots of dogs pusses and tossing them on her so that she smells like she is in heat. she runs to the cathedral and is followed by a pck of two hundred dogs who rape her. that is some dark but serious humor.

so when wonderboys comes to an end it isn't surprising that all the ttangles come free and everybody is found happy and content. that is the point of comedy.

anyway cheers,
