Neil Labute is a goddamn genius.

Everyone needs to go see this film now.

I heart Rachel Weisz's suburban Chicago accent.

I had a horse that looked like the one behind u when i was 8...then he reared up and fell back on me...I broke my hip, herniated a disk, and had a swollen spleen and couldnt walk for weeks...my back is still bad to this day

but i fucking love horses and went riding a few weeks ago smile

I want one when i get more established in my life...
thickape:
Oh my god. An experience like that would scare me away for life. That's cool that you still ride.

This woman from work's family has several horses but she refuses to ride. She said "you can't control 'em" Seems the best you can do is learn how to 'influence' them.

pretty girls, male bonding, shiner bock

thickape:
I wish!

I haven't yet refined my charm skills to the point where I can get pretty girls I've just met to drive me to the airport. I may get there though.

I don't know if I would say the cab driver was not good looking, but I certainly would not call him pretty.

YOU
ROCK!

with the corporate logo on...

The Iowa trip is over as of today. The part of it that stuck with me the most was a conversation I had with my buddy's girlfriend. She thinks one of my favorite repeating rants (I'll spare you the details, but the upshot is scientists are mean) would make a nice article in an urban alternative weekly. To be honest, the rant is not something...
