Today’s insane letter in a Utah paper: “Some people were rude during the fireworks at Liberty Park!” http://tinyurl.com/nmbonu

I was told Obama was going to take my guns away, but I’ve had them sitting by the door for six months now and no one’s come by yet.

I fear that, given the 100-degree weather, the audience of freeloading riffraff at “Funny People” is going to smell even worse than usual.

Wow, here’s some great writing! It’s like Faulkner meets non-English-speaker! http://tinyurl.com/ljwrcm

Various items, things, and stuff

Monday, July 27th, 2009

Over at Cinematical, I wrote a piece called “Happy 25th Birthday, PG-13 Rating!” that you might find interesting. At Film.com, we have another edition of Eric’s Ten-Year Itch, this time examining “Deep Blue Sea,” a shark movie that I still find entertaining a decade later.

Next, take a gander at the right-hand column of this here website and you’ll see two recent changes. One is that I’ve added my Twitter feed so you can see what sort of fascinating observations I make in 140 characters or less, without actually having to use Twitter. I feel like the only legitimate uses of Twitter are 1) sharing amusing links and 2) cracking one-liners, and I’d hate for you non-Twitterers to miss out. As an alternative, you can just ignore it.

The other change is the ad for Dish Network, the one that seems to suggest you can only use that particular satellite TV service if you are Mormon and/or if you intend to watch the LDS General Conference in October. Rest assured, this is not the case! People of all religious inclinations, or of no religious inclination at all, are welcome to use Dish Network. That ad was chosen by the people who choose such things because they knew I had a lot of Mormon readers, and what’s the use in having Mormon readers if you can’t sell things to them? (Of course, most of my Mormon readers live in Utah, where you don’t need satellite, or even cable, to watch General Conference, but shush.)

Anyway, I get a commission if you sign up for Dish Network by calling that phone number, so you should sign up for Dish Network by calling that phone number.

I love Hot Pockets, but it just occurred to me that “hot pocket” would be a good euphemism for “fart.”
