A "Queery" for My One Faithful Reader


What's the matter with gay marriage? How does it bring about Armageddon or Ragnarok or the End of Days or a spin-off to that Gena Davis-Is-President show? Whatever you want to call the end of the world? Seriously, anyone can chime in. I really want to know.

Caveat: no vague answers involving the sanctity of marriage. just some vagary, please

Since no one is listening...A List

of all the reasons that I hate the winter.

1. its cold. i try not to take it personally but it feels like my balls are under constant attack.

2. its dark. i just got out of a study session early and i'm thinking "sweet. its 5 o'clock. i can go out and enjoy the rest of the day." its pitch black.

3. the frozen homeless really cramp my style. either they freeze to the bottom of your car where they crawled for heat and it takes like 3 hours with a scrapper to get them off or they freeze, fall over and break leaving big red indigent chunks at every other intersection.

4. i hate parades. and why are they all now? see#1

5. i get fat. i think my father was a grizzly. though i am fairly bereft of body hair, this time of year seems to pack on the pounds. its likely because this weather inspires people to bake, for some reason. Ah, pies! too cold to run (see #1) and too dark to get up and drive to the gym (see#2).

6. TV blows. 4 months past Sweeps Week and 4 months from Season Finales. all my shows are on cruise control doing the speed limit on the interstate. Yawn.

7. it just killed Mr. Miyagi!!! a moment of silence for Pat Morita...

8.

9. its ugly. nature, like my gonads, seems to beat a hasty retreat into Mexico. the whole country looks like a Felini film.

10. Movies are kinda gay. (not that there's anything wrong with that). nothing hard hitting ocmes out when its winter. its all happy kids and magical lions. no one is in a good enough mood to see some ass-stomping, popcorn-swilling brainlessness. why? see#1,9 and especially 3.

In Lieu of Listening in Class...A List


this installment finds me in Employment Law class, discussing the merits of a sexual harassment case that strangely makes me think of gangster films. Maybe its the abuse of women or maybe its the supremacy of the Boss in the workplace. anyway, here is a list of what i think are the best films ever in the gagster genre, in no particular order. let me go on the record as saying that i think the true gangster film genre didnt begin until Hollywood discovered the Real Mafia in the 70's. Fuck 1950s Chicago gangster films, see? Feel free to add to.

Godfather I & II (not III)
Goodfellas
Miller's Crossing
Road to Perdition
Gangster No. 1
Once Upon a Time in America
Scarface
Reservoir Dogs
Pulp Fiction
King of New York
Snatch
City of God
Heat
the Usual Suspects

Bullet Proof Judge: the Revenge of the W

Harriet was a wash. True, she had boobs, but that isnt enough to make us say "Hey, a girl! Come on in!" Besides, they didnt seem to be very NICE boobs. So W sits back in his saddle and says "Fuck with me, will ya? Okay, lets see you hippies whine about this one!" Well I being one of the liberal douchebags that W would likely call a tree-hugger (though i find bark rather un-cuddly) i must admit that this guy is a juggernaut. Ivy league, young appointment, Atty General's Office. If Jesus had retained this guy, Pilate would have overruled his OWN objections and we'd all be Buddhists. So why is it that i feel the whining is about to begin in spades? i find that a nicely aged gouda goes best with a winter whine, don't you?
