Hey Bet, Hey Stennie… look no CAPS!!
I was wondering. Can we embed video on your comments page?
I’m gonna try it.

Guess not!
I guess it doesn’t work.
Heeeeeeeyyyyyyyy…. I was first weren’t I?
Cool!
P.s. I don’t prefer Bet over you Stennie. I’ve never met Bet but I have met me some Stennie.
You ain’t supposed to be watching me!!!
Animation Trivia Question:
What animated film was this line from…
“His name was Necron 99. He is an assassin”
Oh wow—the new one’s up. I just finished listening to last week’s, and now I’m trying to get through the annual listen to Jesus Christ Superstar (hey, we all celebrate Lent in our own way). I had something important to say about last week’s episode, but I’ve already forgotten what it was. So here’s a topic—JCS—blasphemy or devout? It kind of strikes me like Life of Brian. If you really get it, you realize it’s not about denigrating a religion at all.
It’s amazing how so very….not close that was to The Harder They Come.
Okay, okay, good thoughts for a good neighbor. But I still think it’s awfully selfish of you.
I liked the concept of Fishing with John better than the execution.
Congrats on the winnings at the casino. That never happens to me. I’m like William H. Macy in The Cooler without the full frontal nudity. (Too inside of a joke?)
For the commenters:
Hey, thanks for the reminder, Lily. Just remembered that I haven’t watched my new Life of Brian DVD. I won’t be participating in Jesus Christ Superstar. Way WAY too many hippies for my taste.
And I actually did see a bit of the San Diego drive-in on the CBS morning show. They were showing Jaws if i recall.
Thank you for understanding, Sten. Tracy was a little young
I’d find a way out of the Engalls family… even if I had to use an AX.
Sten, did you see that Albert Brooks movie about the afterlife? The only thing I liked about it was when Brooks’ character learns what he used to be in a past life.
Bet, glad you liked “No Country”. If I hadn’t seen “There Will Be Blood” I’d say “No Country” was the best film last year. It is one of my top 20 faves, I’d say.
The great ending for sure.
I know that was a sentence fragment. That’s the point.
Bet, did that dude smell like sweaty ass?
Ass is a bad smell, but sweaty ass….
Sten, can I give you ten bucks to gamble?
I want to personally thank Stennie for making me to experience my instinctive physical reaction to when I hear a cat puking.
I’m walking down Hollywood boulevard last night, listening to the HB on my snappy new Product Red iPod Shuffle (thank you IRS!) and I suddenly start looking around (subconsciously!) for a puking cat, knowing full well that you were just faking it.
My cats have me so well trained. 🙁
And for a few moments, I was that weird guy on Hollywood Boulevard acting all squirrelly, making others casually steer clear.
It’s always amusing how cats always manage to leave a present for you *right* where you will step on it.
Sten, that impression of a cat about to upchuck was so good, I think you should forgo the next CD mix exchange for a CD of your impressions of animals making disgusting sounds. What other disgusting animal sounds can you do? Come on, you’ve got be able to do other sounds, too—I mean, it could be beginners luck, but that cat-about-to-vomit—that shows a lot of talent!!
Hm, I wonder if I could get it as a cellphone ringtone…?
Bet, can you do any impersonations of animals making gross sounds?
OK, I believe I am thru.
Bet—be careful. That lady may want to be your new best friend and will call 20 times a day and always borrowing a cup of sugar.
Stennie—babies make that noise too in the middle of the night.
Benicio would smell like sweat. That hair needs washing. Timothy Hutton is starting to wear that Brylcream/dirty hair look too, which could account for his inclusion on the smelly list.
You don’t know The Harder They Come? And no, it didn’t sound like it at all, sorry. These are easy songs in that I think I got almost all of them. The most painful thing thing I did was play one of these interactive games with people who did NOT even listen to music, apparently. Only two of us had even heard of any of the songs. So I’m humming away on “Smoke on the Water” and everyone is looking at me going “Bach? Beethoven?” Sigh.
I can’t believe I’m typing about Heath Ledger for the second week in a row, but maybe I should have just included this last week. But a reference was made to Heath Ledger’s “wife” and I felt the need to clarify. Michelle Williams never married Heath Ledger, which is why the will situation is complicated and such a big deal. She would have a simpler claim on his estate if they had been married. I’m not really sure what the kid’s situation is, though. My guess is the kid probably will get everything or most of it because she is the next of kin and was born after the will was written up, after all the court stuff is sorted through.
Also, I don’t think a letter is a will that a court could enforce. You would basically trust your next-of-kin to fulfill your wishes.
Sorry to go on about this, but for me, questions of property and having a legal definition of a family (and thus, next-of-kin) are the most important reasons for marriage. In fact, I can’t think of many other reasons. It irks me when people say that marriage doesn’t mean anything. Of course, that means to me, whoever wants my stuff has to make me really love them.
None of this, of course, should be construed as legal advice, as I’m not a lawyer and I am just speaking out of my ass. A little knowledge is a dangerous thing. More knowledge would be better.
Hey…..
Do I LOOK like I smell?
Geeez, now I have a complex. I wonder if I look like I smell?
I am really sorry that the Hucklebug is anti Superbad. I really thought it was funny. I guess my suggestion to see Juno won’t take you very far.
I dive for the HB! I download it at about 6 am Thursday morning. I bet I’m the first.
Webster’s mother? Bet- do you remember every image that has ever flicked across the TV screen?
The only Humdinger I didn’t get was Yellow Brick Road. It sounded like Tom Dooley to me. So is this a real game with real cards, or did you make this up yourselves? Yes, I know, you’ve been doing this for a while, but I’m only just getting around to asking now.
Btw, the Blue Hearts were indeed a real band in Japan who were pretty popular back in the early 90s. In fact my cousin there is helping me to find a couple of their albums now. A live clip of Linda Linda:

So I think I’m 1.5 out of 2 in Japanese movie recommendations this week. I didn’t think it was possible to do that well.
I don’t know if this will even get read, since the next episode of the HB was recorded last night. But it just occured to me that Antonio Bandaras, the Bee Himself, would probably be pretty stinky.
