Wait, what?

Ramblings on Life, Love, Humor, and Wierdness(not necessarily in that order)

Friday, August 04, 2006


Good afternoon, people. I had a great time last night watching "The Visitation" with the youth. I was skeptical before it started, but it was great. Little creepy, but great. Creepy because Randy Travis was in it and Terminator 2 kid Edward Furlong. Just kidding about creepy Randy Travis. Maybe. Anyhoo, before the movie, we started playing with one of those computer voice typing programs. We started playing Name that Movie using quotes. They started off with some quote I didn't get, but mine was this: "Your mother was a hamster, and your father smelt of elderberries. Now go away before I taunt you a second time!" If you didn't get that, we need to have a movie night. I'll call in the answer later. They had no clue. I then proceeded to ask everyone(while my wife rolled her eyes, looked down, and shook her head) and no one else had a clue! I'm starting to realize that I am from a whole different school of comedic tastes than alot of people I know. Mandy, Jen, Keith(do I spell that right?), some of my cousins, and a smattering of other people roll in this crew. They love wierd humor. Now onto my "these kids today" rant. They don't watch movies that were made before 1990. If you are above 25 and I say Patrick Dempsey, you don't think Grey's Anatomy; you think "Can't Buy Me Love" or that Special Delivery movie(extra anchovies). When I say "Pretty in Pink" you get the desire to watch every 80's teen movie in a row. Go deeper. Lately, I've had the desire to watch some old movies( 50's 60's). It's taken me a long time to realize that not all comedy has to become not funny the older it gets. Who doesn't like the Three Stooges? Laugh In? Carol Burnett? Kids, I challenge you to watch at least 1 older movie(before 1990) a month. Broaden your horizons. Then one day, you can gripe about the kids of today, because I'll be griping at you 30 year olds. Be blessed. Love and out...
