Um Rambo XVII Anyone?

I would guess Swami Says and Brown Guy will have much more to say about this. Until then take a bite of this.

Stallone says he was surprised that the Motion Picture Association of America gave the film an R rating: "When babies are being bayonetted and people are being flamed, I thought this will never go." But he told the ratings board, "I said guys, this is happening today -- and if we're ever going to do something that responds, where art has the ability to influence people's awareness and impact the lives of these people, don't dilute it, don't water it down. . . . Don't cut away too soon. Let it sink it. I want people to feel it. To their credit, they allowed this film to be as truthful as it could."

I never really made it past "babies . . . being bayonnetted"

Quick Gmail Chat

Blogging for one straight week is tough. I'll be back strong tomorrow. Until then here's another quick Gmail Chat.

Me: I told Muki to try to talk to him . . . but it's muki
Brown Guy: it is indeed muki
or possibly "mookie"
Me: m'ewe'kie
Brown Guy: lol

Seriously though, I do talk to people other than Brown Guy via Gmail Chat it's just not always that funny.

Annapolis, the day trip

A quick recap of our Saturday day trip to Annapolis. Amazingly despite the large amounts of midshipmen walking around no "seamen" jokes were dropped during our trip.


Annapolis can be a confusing place.



The water was warm and tempting



We witnessed where "laws" are created.



The stifling heat of 38 degrees enticed the group (minus Viggy) to get ice cream. I blame the doctor of the group.

More Gmail Chat . . .

Me: We need to go to Guarapo sometime, the menu looks delicious
Brown Guy: You mean I can eat skewers and then smoke hookah?
this is simply too good to be true
Me:I've never been there for dinner just drinks
they have Lomo Saltado and according to the menu
Salted Strip of Lion?????
Brown Guy: Um
Me: Lion?
Brown Guy: For real?
Me: I dunno, that's what it says
Brown Guy: That seems illegal
(and i want some)
(...bad)
Me: Maybe its slang for something else?
The menu says it's $15 and it comes with fries
Brown Guy: It's probably a pork chop
if that's not actual lion, I'm going to be angry
dude, we're going there
and if we can't eat lion, I'm flipping the table and running out
Me: Haha
they also have salmon
Brown Guy: No

dinner
dude
can you image how you'll feel after eating the king of the jungle?
I can't wait
Me: Yeah I googled every combination of "eating" and "lion" I could think of there is no mention of anything related
they must have misspelled "loin"
Brown Guy: Well now it's on my brain and I won't stop until it happens

Gmail Chat . . .

I am regularly part of many hilarious Gmail chats with Brown Guy (and others) so I thought I would start sharing some of my favorites every week or so. (The chat below happened shortly after the Mitchell Report was released.)

Me: So everyone in baseball does steroids . . . it doesn't bother me at all
Brown Guy: Me neither
frankly, I wish they did more
there would be more homeruns
that's all I care about
more homeruns
Me: Exactly, no one likes to watch "solid base hits"
Brown Guy: I'd like to watch someone hit a 700 foot homerun
I don't care if they're hopped up on Sparks and Andro
Me: You want to watch someone throw at 110 mph
Brown Guy: Yep
all that stuff
a 56 inch vertical leaper playing center field
Me: Baseball should just embrace it
Brown Guy: I think so, otherwise the sport is unbearable to watch
Me: Yeah, I feel like it's a bunch of old people who actually care
Brown Guy: "The good old days"
Me: I'm not sure anyone under 20 watches baseball
unless they are taken by old people
or need something to do while drinking during the summer
Brown Guy: Yep, baseball is terrible
