QUOTE (RockRaines @ Dec 11, 2008 -> 01:35 PM) I've never been a comic book reader, so its based entirely on the value of the movie to me which I thought was boring and full of terrible acting. I thought Terrence Howard was so-so, and that Downey Jr. did a good job encapsulating the conflicted, Tony Stark A-hole persona, although the film took a lot of liberties and made him more solidly a good guy by the end of the film compared to the Stark of comic book canon. I thought Jeff Bridges was just about perfect in his role.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Dec 10, 2008 -> 06:02 PM) I thought Iron man was incredibly crappy and doesnt belong in the same sentence as Dark Knight I thought Iron Man was easily the better of the two. The scope and sweep of the story was limited, as appropriate for an origin story, and I thought it was the best film adaptation from a comic book in the last few years.

QUOTE (Texsox @ Dec 11, 2008 -> 09:00 AM) A letter to Soxtalk My boyfriend wants to pretend to make a porn film. He has all the lights and a camera in his room. He promises there will not be any film in the camera. What should I do? If he says there's no film then you have to believe there is no film, and you should indulge his fantasies. . . and maybe a few of your own. [Dayam, the dude is brilliant. Hopefully the bimbo is satisfied with the no film assurance and doesn't ask about video tape! Oh, wait. . . Is this mic still on??]

So, I got really hammered last night at the bars and I drove home. I know I shouldn't, but I tried to drive very carefully. Turns out I didn't do so good, because this morning I went out to the garage and found a dude all mangled up and $hit and stuck in the grill of my car. He's still alive but he's really eff'd up, and he keeps asking me to drive him to the hospital. Obviously, if I do that a cop is probably going to see me driving a car with a guy stuck in the grill, and I'm sure that's something he could write me a ticket for. I'm already carrying a few points on my license, so I'm trying to be careful, you know? Any suggestions from anybody who has been in this situation before?

I'd sell for a couple of rounds of drinks and a handjob.

QUOTE (MHizzle85 @ Dec 10, 2008 -> 08:07 PM) True. The person below me has been caught by the police with his pants down, literally. True. The person below me regularly crosses to the other side of the street to avoid panhandlers.

QUOTE (CanOfCorn @ Dec 10, 2008 -> 03:42 PM) Is it wrong to tell my fellow parishoners during Mass about my sexual escapades with my pet aardvark and my wife's sister? They seem to enjoy it, but I don't want things to get, y'know, weird. It's only wrong if you are rude and don't provide photographic documentation. I'm about to launch my new website that is sure to make me a millionaire. It's called "freeTwenties.com" and it's fairly self-explanatory. Visitors to the site register and I'll send them each a $20 bill. It probably sounds like that will require a lot of capital, but I'll have the retailer's secret going for me. . . volume, volume, VOLUME! So. . . any thoughts on my business model?

QUOTE (kjshoe04 @ Dec 10, 2008 -> 02:37 PM) False The person below me enjoys reading. True. The person below me has eaten rabbit, gator tail, and/or rattlesnake - None of which actually tasted like chicken.

QUOTE (Texsox @ Dec 10, 2008 -> 11:32 AM) I'm thinking of leaving my job and getting into the mortgage lending business, what do you think? Sounds good, but you'll need to differentiate yourself from the competition. I suggest a novel angle, you need to be the "ABSOLUTELY NO CREDIT CHECK MORTGAGE LENDER!" The world will beat a path to your door. On an unrelated note, a guy asked me if I'd like to be a mule and smuggle narcotics in from Colombia in balloons that he'll teach me how to swallow. I think the money's good and I seriously can't think of any down side to this. What do you think?

Question: I'm bleeding copiously from the mouth and rectum. I'm sure it's nothing and I don't want to sound like a nervous ninny, but I just want to get a second opinion.

QUOTE (knightni @ Dec 9, 2008 -> 04:48 PM) There's a report out of a shark that walks on land and eats people. My question is, there's a candygram at the door right now and I really like candy. Do you think the candygram guy would help me watch out for the "land shark?" I certainly think two sets of eyes would be safer than one. Besides, hey, Free Candy!

QUOTE (shipps @ Dec 9, 2008 -> 03:46 PM) Question:What do you do when you participate in a game and apparently have no idea what the point of the game is and everyone ignores you. You have multiple options here involving one or more of the folowing: • Drop your pants and sing the theme from the Beverly Hillbillies • Randomly punch other participants • Fall to the ground in the fetal position and sob uncontrollably while repeating "Shut Up . . I'm Sorry. . . Shut Up" over and over

Question: My two favorite things are playing with high-voltage electricity and swimming, but I hate it when I'm doing activity one and can't enjoy the other at the same time. Any advice on how to bring these two great hobbies together?

QUOTE (Texsox @ Dec 9, 2008 -> 01:14 PM) Tell her to go for it. And try the whole flower child thing. Barefoot, small town, take him by the hand. You know that should work. I have to go to the company Christmas party and want to seem professional. I never drink alcohol, what should I drink? I know I will be nervous and probably will drink a lot of them. Answer: Novice drinkers should play it safe and stick with drinking only clear liquor. Vodka and gin are always a good bet. I got my wife and my girlfriend both the same monogrammed pendant for Christmas, but I think I sent me wife the one that was supposed to go to the girlfriend. Oops! My wife's initials are "WSM" but she's going to get a pendant with the initals "FSA" on it. What should I tell her that stands for?

QUOTE (Texsox @ Dec 9, 2008 -> 12:23 PM) A politician writes in . . . The cops just came and arrested me, I'm not certain what to do next. Any ideas? Answer: Rework the anti-gay marriage portions of that little stump speech of yours. Your new bunk mates aren't really into anything as long-term or serious marriage, they just want to. . . date you for a little while. And considering how your "get tough on crime" mandatory minimums have sent some of them to jail, some of your new friends are probably going to date the $h1t out of you. OK, new question: My 14-year old daughter wants to date a boy thee years older than her. Like any good father, I just want to make sure she is safe. I know she'll at least be safe with the boy when they are driving together because he has an old Chevy conversion van from back when they used to make them solid. Do you think I should let her date this boy?

QUOTE (SoxAce @ Dec 8, 2008 -> 09:57 PM) Your alive?!?! Your alive what?? Sorry, Grammar Police in the drunk thread is probably bad form. I am on the verge of inebriation though, having just received a new tiki drink book and getting down to mixing up a good many of the recipes.
