But what if I wear shorts, black socks and slippers out in public? :shock:

Am I ready to join AARP?

Only if you're wearing your huge wraparound Blue Blocker sunglasses with said ensemble.

I hate that movie so much I bought it just so I can scream at the TV.

You're just mad that we saved your country from being totally leveled.

I can't stand it when people eat food on the subway. The trains are filthy and crawling with bacteria. It's fucking disgusting. Stop it.

....Or when people eat and talk with their mouth full of food. EWW!

Why do you hate it so much?

Well I have a problem with movies which claim to be realistic and historical but which are infact so strewn with historical errors that it's virtually criminal. 'Braveheart' also gets on my tits in this regard.

I also have a love/hate relationship with Spielberg.

All of those "ing" movies:

Finding Forrester
Shooting Fish
Chasing Amy

Goddamn annoying and overdone to death yet they still keep coming. :evil:

So, do you hate "The Shining" too?

Oh I tried really hard to not respond, I really did, but I just couldn't mange it. You see maybe you can peddle that to the French or Italians but the Battle of Britain which prevented a German invasion of the UK and mass bombing of our cities (and which my grandfather as an RAF pilot fought in) took place in 1940 when America was still being chickenshit.

Sorry.

I could never hate Stephen King. That book and movie rocks.

REDRUM!... REDRUUUUUUUUUUUUUM!!

They sucked until "Sprockets" -- now I can use the black ones again.

People who can't follow the plot of movies/TV shows and need explanations throughout. I have a friend who does this and it makes hanging out with them difficult.

I've used the following line: "What, did I get here first?"

Assuming the tourist is white and it's not a Yankees hat, this is method is 99.5% reliable.

For the record, I am guilty of wearing my new school Indians hat when I'm out hiking. I am also guilty of wearing sweats and/or pajamas in public when making quick trips to stores... because they are the best lounging clothes EVER.

Yeah when i did a summer in the UK Yankees hats were f'ing everywhere. I heard they have a licensing in agreement with ManU. I think americans can also be spotted in the UK by their affinity for shorts and wearing trainers to bars.

Ok just checking, because that is an "ing" movie. But a damn good one.

Plus, it's a double whammy, since Stephen King has "-ing" in it, too.

Although, technically, it's not the ongoing (or whatever it's called) participle of a verb.

I dunno. It started out as disposable commentary (if you don't read it, no big loss), but then turned into something more. Not much more, mind you. As a matter of fact, very little more. More along the lines of "exactly the same", now that I think about it...
