...I will have all of eternity to do it
Brother Odd by Dean Koontz
You might think that watching them struggle through various kinds of rehab would be heartbreaking, considering that they are often destined to die young. But there is no heartbreak here. Their small triumphs thrill them as much as winning a marathon might thrill you. They know moments of unadulterated joy, they know wonder, and they have hope. Their spirits won’t be chained. In my months among them, I have never heard one child complain.As medical science has advanced, such institutions as St. Bart’s have fewer kids damaged by severe cerebral palsy, by toxoplasmosis, by well-understood chromosomal abnormalities. Their beds are taken these days by the offspring of women who preferred not to give up cocaine or ecstasy, or hallucinogens, for nine boring months, who played dice with the devil. Other children here were badly beaten-skulls cracked, brains damaged-by their drunken fathers, by their mothers’ meth-rotted boyfriends.With so many new cells and lightless pits required, Hell must be going through a construction boom these days.Some will accuse me of being judgmental. Thank you. And proud of it. You wreck a kid’s life, I have no pity for you.Maybe my lack of compassion for these abusers of children- and other failures of mine-means I won’t see Stormy on the Other Side, that the fire I face will be consuming rather than purifying. But at least if I wind up in that palpable dark where having no cable TV is the least of the inconveniences, I will have the pleasure of seeking you out if you have beaten a child. I will know just what to do with you, and I will have all of eternity to do it.
best ever
"Sometimes I like to get really high and watch movies in other languages. This was my pick today, and this shit is tight. I like the part when the dude was all like "I ank a nai a durrim" and then this other dude was like "guru dah nai loon" and then they laughed, and I laughed, and we were all laughing, and I had no idea why I laughed.Marijuana.

EPISODE 55 - Ladies Month Begins! Bullet to the Head and Warm Bodies
Shira leads the episode this week and along with her co-hosts Leighton and Russell and special guest Fire, we begin a month celebrating women on the Long and Late Movie Show. With that we discuss the Sylvester Stallone action movie Bullet to the Head, and the Zombie Romantic Comedy, Warm Bodies. Along the way we also discuss some of our favorite Super Bowl Big Game movie trailers and whether the macho action movie genre is still viable.
We play our big 3 games: The Gross is Right, Shira’s Sour Patch Kids Trivia, and the Dame Game.
