i agree. it's all kinds of fucked up everywhere. also, i think people might not stop and realize that, while his IS an amazing story, it IS just that--a story (that was shelved [for, i believe, some weeks, correct me if i'm wrong] by the guy who captured it until he saw the perfect slow news day come along), and Ted Williams is just a guy. He is a guy with an amazing talent and it is, like you said, very sad and wrong that it had been ignored for so long and he remained anonymous for so long for such stupid reasons. but he's a human being and his story should teach us something, but he's also just a guy who has faults.
can i also throw in that i don't know which was more appalling: the grammar of that article or the comments section?
please, please, PLEASE do this so i can know your take. i just saw it in a little theater and i have major problems with it. but i also didn't? but really i do.
OMG GABE.
i JUST woke up from a dream in which i was getting ready to go out and do some last minute christmas shopping and my front door was wide open. i looked up and you were there (Dream Gabe was shorter than i imagined you to be)! you gave me the greatest gift of all, which was informing me that you would like me to post for Videogum! and you gave me a computer program in a box that looked stepped on and, for some reason, an iPad, which i never wanted, but who isn't greatful for that (way better than bookes, which are poop)?? we had a great, funny, slightly awkward time together (like i always pictured it to be), and you met both my grandmas (even the one that i think doesn't really like me). then i still had to go to TJ Maxx and get presents so we said our goodbyes and i said thank you about 8 dozen times and wondered if it was real and would we ever meet again. i wiped off this drool and am posting this comment about it that i hope does not post as a reply to the awesome comment before mine because sometimes technology is funny. happy christmas eve to you and yours and birdie!
and that is a wonderful mantle picture!
i own that book and have tried and failed to get past the first 30 pages about three times. i still don't know what the first thirty pages is even talking about, aside from a lot of bananas. i think.
she's got a laundry list of excuses why she can't do no woman things.
it would make me happy if someone found a picture of chuck noblet saying to jerri blank, "MY HANDS!" during the violin episode of strangers with candy.
as for me, i have to go practice this thing i was already good at without any practice.
it's a long week, ok?
did anyone else think it was weird that the first Rule of Being On The Boat was "no crying on the boat?" how much crying are you doing on a boat as a kid with your father that your father makes that a rule?
i have only ever seen the 1st episode of glee, but still read these recaps sometimes so this may have been mentioned before:
FOOTBALL GUY #3's head is alarmingly large.
this is the funniest recap of this show yet, gabe! but (AW) i wanted to point out (if no one else has) that i really think it's mermaid jewelry. she mentions dolphins but then i think she's like, "but she REALLY has a THING for mermaids."
i like the man 2nd from the left the best--he shoots his gun with such vigor and does NOT put the safety back on before shoving it deep into his pants again.
i just liked that she tripped over one and then that started some sort of domino effect (pun intended) clusterfuck deal wherein everybody got lazy, and you could tell by the end she could have been thinking "if i can just beat this red-sweatshirted bitch (in jesus' name, go catholics), i won't be THE WORST."
maybe she's getting really meta. like joaquin phoenix??
also, do you monsters ever feel like you can look at certain people and know that their breath smells completely like vomit or their butt? cuz that's how i feel when i look at her. sorry.
i like to think they're smoking marijuana cigarettes in this scene. i guess because it's just so weird to see women having any sort of fun together, even for a moment, on this show.
i HATE family circus SO. MUCH. i hate even more the fact that i know it is terrible and not funny, but every DAMN sunday i read it anyway and get even more crotchety. worst.
