Is this for real?????

Submarine film completely ignores cliches and stereotypes
The latest submarine blockbuster to be released by a major Hollywood
studio, �Deep Killer Depths�, has been lambasted by critics for its lack of
cliches.
�It�s repugnant,� TV Quick�s Alan Friend said yesterday. �At no point does
the sub descend too deep, or too quickly. The little needle never goes into
the red. Rivets don�t fly off and leaky pipes don�t explode. There was only
one shot of the sea through the periscope, and it didn�t have a big
destroyer looming towards the camera. I don�t know what they think they are
playing at.�
An independent submarine movie analyst has confirmed that the total count
of sonar pings during �Deep Killer Depths� is nil, and, shockingly, that no
member of the crew rebels against the eccentric sub commander only to
grudgingly respect him by the end of the film.

Of course it is. All satirical matter is for real. Try the Onion for
some equally factual reportage.

If a tree in the forrest falls on a mime does anybody care?

thought the manufacturer would get to sell a replacement. For a
mime, there's probably no money to be made providing a replacement,
since mimes are born, not made. ;-)

What if a mime falls on Forrest?

Will they use torpedoes or Harpoons, or shockingly, fire no weapons at
all?
Remember the sub movie parody on "In Living Color?" They called it
"Deep Seamen."

I beg to differ, sir.
Consider, if you will, the following from the Strike Briefing for Operation
Sleepy Weasel:
"Your secondary targets are here, and here - a Mime School and an Accordian
Factory."

Definitely got their priorities wrong - Accordian Factory should
definitely be the primary - unless there is a bagpipe factory nearby.

"I" before "E" except after "C", or when sounded as "A" as in
"Neighbor" or "Weigh". Weird

Ummm... I was confused also, still am. I've re-read the thread
several times and cannot find the use of the word "weird" by anyone
other than you Jack, in your correction.

"i" before "e", except after "c", or when sounded like "a" as in
"neighbor" and "weigh". That's the little "i before e" jungle we all
learn at one time or another. What word breaks that rule?
"weird"?

one on a shirt in a catalog.

And, no, Budweiser is not a recent import from a foreign language.

Not one but two Budweiser songs, from the early days
“Under the Anheuser Bush”
Come, come, come and make eyes with me
Under the Anheuser bush
Come, come, drink some Budweis with me
Under the Anheuser bush
The song was such a big hit that a few years later, Murray returned to
the bar for another Bud-inspired ditty. That’s today’s song,
“Budweiser’s a Friend of Mine,” written by Vincent P. Bryan and
Seymour Furth in 1907. It was originally part of the very first
edition of the Ziegfeld Follies, then known as the Follies of 1907.
Although Ziegfeld was notorious for shuffling performers, stage star
Billy Clifford may have been the song’s originator on stage. Whoever
did it first, though, it was Billy Murray’s recording of the song made
it popular.
The poets may sing
Of the friends who will cling to you
When you are gloomy and blue
But I have one friend
Who will stick to the end
Just the dearest friend I ever knew
Whenever I am sad
And the world treats me badly
Into some rathskellar I stray
I fill up a stein
With this old friend of mine
And I dream all my sorrow away

That reminds me to ask you, Genie .... You going to The Nag on the weekend?
And are there pretty serving wenches there? :)

Hates it. Bobby's two snappy litte dogs keep yapping at him which
makes him very embarrassed. A pink elephant to be precise.
