Grumpy things go here

[Mad Dr Jeffe]

only because they wear feathered caps, green tights and tend to yell "Tally Ho!" while they rob the local sheriff, oh and since your poor they give their cash to you.

I'm grumpy because my husband is angry about people who IM him at inconvenient times, but does not actuallly do anything about it, like LOG OFF.
Is this a male thing?

[Mad Dr Jeffe]

no

only because they wear feathered caps, green tights and tend to yell "Tally Ho!" while they rob the local sheriff, oh and since your poor they give their cash to you.

I wish I had outlaws like that--particularly the $ part.

And you got to love Men in Tights (with Wesley as Robin Hood): "We are men in tights--TIGHT tights!"   I need to watch that movie again.

That movie was nothing but a recycling of the more clever things he'd done in other films.

[Chimera]

And I loved it! (Probably because it was relatively cleaner than most of Mel Brooks's movies--I like his spoofs but I HATE how chock-filled with innuendos they are. I watched Spaceballs all the time when I was young. It was my favorite movie--until I grew up and understood what they were referring to with every other joke.)

Parts of Men in Tights were actually filmed in my hometown. The scene where they are pushing the castle away on a railroad track--yeah, I've been there.

Young Frankenstein would kick Men In Tights' butt without even realizing they were in a fight.

[Chimera]

I actually haven't seen that one.

*Chimera adds it to the already REALLY LONG list of movies she and EUOL need to watch*

!!

No wonder you think Men in Tights is so great. The moving mole gag is handled much better in YF.

anyway, add to that Harold and Maude, if you haven't seen it. classic sleeper flick, with some very dry humor.

[Legion]

Ok if we are talking about Mel Brooks movies.....What about Blazing Saddles?  That is one of my favorite movies, now if you are talking about movies that have Cary Elwes in them then it is The Princess Bride....if your not talking about anything that has to do with this then never minded

[Chimera]

Of course Princess Bride is a better movie!!! --which is why I didn't even bother refering to him as Cary Elwes, but just as Wesley, because that is who he is and who he will always be to me.

I still maintain that I like Men in Tights. It is a very silly movie, and when I am in a silly mood it is a wonderful thing.

[Archon]

Not that either one is exactly clean, but I am going to disagree with you and say that Spaceballs is much cleaner than Men in Tights.

To continue the grumy things thread.

So it is 100 degrees outside and I'm taking a ten minute drive home. I stop at a light for a moment, when I feel the searing pain on my left arm. And sure enough, in ten minutes I had developed a sunburn.

I will forever curse my melanin deprived fair skin. Other than allowing me to feel pain and keeping my vital organs in, my skin is absolutely worthless.

Even being a freckled freak would be better.

[The Holy Saint, Grand High Poobah, Master of Monkeys, Ehlers]

I'm grumpy beyond words because while I was tapping it to extend the cutting cord, the handle on my trimme snapped in half. Leaving my grass only half cut. My sister-in-law is going to think I'm a slob. (which I am, but that's beside the point). Also, Toro's assistance number is extremely unhelpful.

Why does life have to be so complex. I had to deal with a police beating today. It should be a simple case. Police entered plaintiffs' residence without an invite and then beat up and arrested the plaintiff (and his family) when he was told to leave. Unfortantly, it look's like plaintiff's attorney is on the verge of losing everything because they aren't thinking about the case (or maybe the attorney is trying to hide some cards for negotiation, but that seems unlikely).
