The Reader, long bastion of postmodern hippie goofiness, has been sold

Typical of limousine liberals, the owners have been made millionaires, and are now bailing off to their eco-friendly mansions in the suburbs,. leaving the staff to fend for themselves.

Ordinarily I wouldn’t give a shit about unemployed hippies, but a dear friend of mine has been supplimenting her income doing work with the Reader for years. The widow’s mite she got for her work (she worked from home, she lives near Atlanta) will be sorely missed. Maybe the new overlords will keep her on, maybe not. One way or another, it’s going to change. Keep her in your prayers, she’s someone who could use a leg up.

Dick just watched Bubba HoTep on my reccomendation, and found it amusing. Not the funniest movie on earth, but a good, funny movie. Got me thinking, what’s my list? I’m not big on lists and etc, but the funniest movies I ever saw? Here they are.

Blazing saddles. If this isn’t the funniest thing you ever saw, your sense of humor is broken.
Monty Python and the Holy Grail. Nuff said.
Eating Raoul. A small, and extraordinarily wry film.
Life of brian. Python, whattya want?
Pink Flamingoes. OK, you have to be warped to like this movie. But it’s a great.
Young Frankenstein
Animal House
Slingblade. I don’t know if that is supposed to be funny, but I laughed and laughed and laughed.
Bubba Ho-Tep may not be in the top, but it’s well worth a watch. If you haven’t seen all of these films, consider it; well, maybe save Pink Flamingoes.

Pink flamingoes is…… Well, it’s a filthy movie, about a filthy couple trying to out-filthy another couple. If you can sit through this movie, you have lost all sense of propriety.

When the lightning wakes you up at 4:30, and the dog (normally immune to noise) goes apeshit and crawls under the blankets, you know it’s raining. Nice.
