Are witch hunts the "bread and butter of the Internet"? This was sincerely the first one I've witnessed. I must say, they're entertaining. Any other good ones you could direct me towards?

Cats once cradled the young christ child but then became wicked. So much for being nice to jesus.

What about cousins, can cousins read it too? Damn I want a sandwich. I was 17 when I read Pulp, also in a weekend. After finishing it I was much, much older. Son-of-a-bitch will do that to ya.

This was lovely. I played it for my 2 year old niece, she loved it. They just don't make good old fashioned family videos like this anymore. Especially that wonderful moment at 2:08. Reminds me of the christmas' of my youth.

My niece sure is being quiet. It's strange because she's usually so talkative.

All history is fiction. It is only a matter of degree. :)

They cheat themselves.

This cloud reminds me of a friend that passed away. Goosebumps. In knew this month would be one of those.

"For instance, the scientific truths would not have many chances against common beliefs, if there were not scientific men able to defend their theories as personal truths."

Indeed!

I've never seen Serpico and have a feeling that once I do, I'll think to myself "oh... that's what all those pop-culture references I didn't get were referencing". Did you enjoy it?
