That really sucks. That's the ONLY Christmas movie we'll watch.
My wife directed the stage version of ACS a couple of years back, and
I played Shep's part. In the stage version, the Narrator (grown-up
Ralphie) is on stage, and narrates throughout the play and
occasionally plays other parts, such as Red Ryder and the Christmas
tree salesman.
Isn't it always the way that the fucked-up drunk loser asshole driver
with no license manages to get in a wreck, kill someone who's actually
worth a shit, and then walks away with minor injuries?
That always happens, and it never ceases to piss me off.
pabJames let's keep one thing straight, I said I was "giving you a hard time"
because you wouldn't
back of from the hyperbole and look at your argument or anyone else's
objectively.
You would follow up a technical comparison with "Macs are better", "Macs
look slick", or
"Microsoft steals". Hardly established provable debating points.
FYI: Giving you a hard time means "joking around with you", "ribbing you",
"teasing", etc.
I used humor many times, thinking you would get the idea and realize how
silly some of your
comments sounded and just laugh it off, but apparently it was lost on you,
and instead you took it personally.
It's NEVER (can I make that any clearer?), been personal with me until
you insulted me and my faith directly, even though that had nothing to do
with the conversatio
