Have you seen the new movie - Abraham Lincoln, Vampire Hunter?I heard about the book a couple of years back, didn't know the author had a movie deal. Cracks me up every time I see the trailer.

I think vampire fiction has now reached its limit.
It's only a matter of time before 'Margaret Thatcher - Vampire Hunter' makes it's debute.:-P

I heard Meryl Streep turned down that role.
Anyone stopping by our threads must wonder what in the world kench means.
I've sometimes wondered why no one has asked...
Someone did once, but I can't remember who it was. Maybe Rebecca? Brain fog here...
I had to google it, myself.Come to think of it, I've got to google a lot of the words/terms I see on the internet.
Had to find out what the Encyclopeda Dramatica.
I never have to Google. I know everything.

What I do for a living, dahlink, speak quotable words. I do it so well that people steal from me.

In some cases the theft is wholesale.

Some of the by-effects of being quotable are hilarious.

The only words anyone ever stole from me were "and" & "the."
Mod
Sounds like you were too smart for them, Sierra. Difficult to quote "and" & "the" out of context...
We have something in common, Andre. Years ago the WSJ quoted me, but in my case they got it right. One of their reporters dug through mail the gov received after the President asked for ideas for solving the energy shortage. The reporter pulled my note out of the stack & quoted it.My suggestion was that the government hire speed readers to plow through all the science fiction they could find because the solution may have already been dreamed up by an author.

Funny you should say that because one of the secretaries where I worked insisted that the movie was where I'd gotten idea (never mind that I hadn't seen the movie). The secretary was miffed because the company owner was sending copies of the WSJ's front page around to all the employees.I don't think the reporter was indicating that my suggestion was a good one; just that it was weird enough to publish. Sort of like the idea from someone else that we all drive golf carts from now on.

Were the pilots crashing in 'copters? Seems like way too many go down.

Helicopters are intrinsically much more dangerous than fixed wing aircraft.

Hmmm, Day of the Condor, know I saw the movie, cannot remember a single thing about it...
Mod
Off to find a definition of exiguous...

Don't ever play Scrabble for money with Andre. He ate the dictionary.
Mod
Somewhere in there, there's a joke about Reader's Digest.
Mod
Sacrilege!
Oh, goody, starting my day with laugh after laugh. I just about lost my keyboard from spewing tea over Dakota's post, then choked on Andre's response. A very high Kench factor for all posts. Thanks!

One of my other favorites along those lines is about the importance of the comma, the difference between loving family dinners and cannibalism:Let's eat, Grandma!
