zornwil Posted September 10, 2004 Report Share Posted September 10, 2004 Re: Musings on Random Musings My mom and stepdad came up from South Carolina last night, and bought my wife birthday dinner. Mom called me first and asked me to pick a place, so she could be there ahead of us to surprise Dede (my wife) when we got there. So I picked a decent Italian place that we hadn't been to in a few years. Turns out, it is now a very nice Italian restaurant, and was kinda pricy. I felt bad for picking such a pricy place, but my wife just said, "Hon, don't you think she owes you a few good meals?" So I stopped worrying about it. Nothing like a good wife to put things in perspective. On a side note, my son, who is 10, was saying comments about Italians that were a little awkward. I said, "Son - where did you pick this stuff up? You do know that you are Italian, right?" He was stunned. Turns out that I have never really talked to him about his heritage. And apparently it has confused him that his white mostly italian dad is named Jose . . . But still, the fact that he is picking up prejudices, apparently from neighborhood friends, really bothers me. Where in SC? We used to live in Charleston and Greenville (but not at the same time! ). Sounds like your son got a good lesson right out of the box at least. Good luck, I'm sure it's a phase, basically, and I am sure your obviously good parenting will give him the appropriate foundation for his future. I went through a prejudiced phase - but it was in college of all times/places. I was raised with a very liberal worldview and didn't believe stereotypes at all. When I got to both college and the big city (Boston) at the same time, the degree to which some people acted out certain stereotypes, as well as my rebellious attitude wherein I was rejecting what I'd learned in youth (sophomoric period in many ways for me), put me into an unfortunate mindset for a time. But having had a good upbringing and getting over that period got me back on track. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zornwil Posted September 10, 2004 Report Share Posted September 10, 2004 Re: Musings on Random Musings We need more dollar theatres. Or, at the very least, less theatres that approach $10 per ticket. Hell, I could buy a DVD for that nearly! That's one thing I like about the pub theaters here, they're like $3-$6, somewhere therabouts and depending on the movie, and you can sit and have a meal and a drink in reasonable comfort. The movies are second-run, but that's fine. Which reminds me, I really want to see I, Robot, I'm hoping that might be in the pub theaters. I totally missed Punisher which is now on DVD.

zornwil Posted September 11, 2004 Report Share Posted September 11, 2004 Re: Musings on Random Musings I wonder how true this is? http://www.infonegocio.com/xeron/bruno/italy.html My IMPRESSION (never having been to Italy - but having been to Europe) is that some things really aren't so generically European - like lots of Euros really don't have queueing down.

zornwil Posted September 11, 2004 Report Share Posted September 11, 2004 Re: Musings on Random Musings So I have been wondering' date=' has this phrase ever been meant literaly. We often throw it around, but do we think about what it really means. "Frank couldn't make a cappaciono to [i']save his life[/i]." Has anyone put this theory to the test? Has someone walked into Starbucks, dropped a .44 Auto-mag on the counter and said, "Frank! One cappaciono, dry." Drink gets placed on the 'pick-up' counter The man takes a slow sip, "Hmm, this cappaciono tastes like ass." "Bob, would you like to try your hand at a cappaciono?" This is pretty funny, thanks!

zornwil Posted September 11, 2004 Report Share Posted September 11, 2004 Re: Musings on Random Musings A pornstar wants to break the Anal Gangbang record by having 150 of her fans take turns in her tush. She has a website and a sign up form. This seems messed up' date=' even to me.[/quote'] I don't know about messed up, but those marathon gangbangs don't interest even me (and I like some pretty out there stuff). Mainly they just seem too much like lots of effort with no fun, a "hurry up and do it" proposition, at least the ones I've seen, as compared to a "regular" gangbang (if well done). I saw that first big film about a record-setting gangbang, the one with Annabelle Chong. The cut-off point was when she (allegedly anyway) was getting a tear and therefore bleeding, so they had to stop. The announcer/compere said it was due to guys' fingernails, dunno. In any event, seeing your post reminded me of that, and I would certainly think what you described is fraught with risk but then again, bear in mind, the woman probably has considerable "training" with objects larger than what will be used.

Guest Worldmaker Posted September 11, 2004 Report Share Posted September 11, 2004 Re: Musings on Random Musings Am I suppose to reply to this? Yes, I do understand that concept but it is usually on a political thread that I have come to that realization. No, though the comment I eventually did not post was sparked by something you, yourself, posted about getting negative rep right before Ben shut that function down. Or rather, the last negative rep I got, which according to the rather pugilistic commentary was because the person in question basically blamed me for the shut-down of the Musings About Random Musings thread.

Guest Worldmaker Posted September 11, 2004 Report Share Posted September 11, 2004 Re: Musings on Random Musings It was a socially acceptable way to give someone the finger that kept such comments off-thread. Depends on the severity of the comment. I've received some that would scorch your hair, because of posts I made that everyone else seemed to think were innocuous.

Pegasus Posted September 11, 2004 Report Share Posted September 11, 2004 Re: Musings on Random Musings I think Trump's The Apprentice is morally repugnant.
