Stuff that wouldn't fit on another thread, or just random thoughts you've had.

*If X-Men had been made in 1983, Sylvester Stallone would have played Wolverine.

*I hate colds. I hate colds with a murderous passion. I also hate those "Have a nice day" signs I see on the doors of Exxon, people who don't use their turn signal when changing lanes, the post office delivery people, and feeling exhausted to the core. </rant>

*everyone i know sleeps on beds that are just mattresses without that
box-on-wheels thing underneath. when did they all decide this was a good idea?

(technical name for box-on-wheels = bed?)

I'm thinking joni's talking about the bed frame (which has the wheels) as well as the box spring that usually goes under the mattress.

Maybe El Crimen Del Padre Amaro would be playing in bigger cinemas if they claimed that the title translated to The Crimes of Father Nummy

I find the outrage over the public's neglect of certain avant-garde music to be kind of ridiculous (even when applied to some things I like). If people didn't going to embrace, say, Sun Ra's very erratic moog soloing as "jazz" I don't think that's so unreasonable of them.

* "Improvised Explosive Device" is horrible horrible militarese. Is it so hard to just say "bomb"? And its not like these bombs are really "improvised" after the tenth one has been built.

Ha ha, fletrejet on bombs == Adorno on jazz
