A Book You'd Like To See Made Into a Movie?
With Great Expectations, Anna Karenina, Les Miserables and The Hobbit (Part 1, lol) all getting releases this year and The Great Gatsby, Much Ado About Nothing, and Romeo and Juliet (even *I* am wondering why this one's being made...there's already a ton of versions, the '68 versions classic, and for some reason people like the DiCaprio/Danes one as well) due out 2013, literary films seem to be making a comeback...books you'd like to see as a film?

How To Hucka-Be An Ass Opportunist About a National Tragedy
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/12/14/mike-huckabee-school-shooting_n_2303792.html "We ask why there is violence in our schools, but we have systematically removed God from our schools...We don't have a crime problem, a gun problem or even a violence problem. What we have is a sin problem...And since we've ordered God out of our schools, and communities, the military and public conversations, you know we really shouldn't act so surprised ... when all hell breaks loose."

Boehner might not be speaker
In the new congress, there will be 234 Republicans and 200 Democrats. If dissatisfied conservatives want to get rid of Boehner, they only need 16 votes to stop his election. Then the GOP caucus would have to pick someone else. Any thoughts?

He would say that. Btw, anyone know any good facial moisturizer? I'm so not girly enough to know any and the weather here is dry as hell so far.
I've heard many women recommend Dr. Hauschka's products, available at Whole Foods and other places.

Hey, Celtic, is facial moisturizer a euphemism, or am I just jumping at shadows?

Glad to heat it Cf. Are you really Celtic? I'm from north of the border and have been euphemistically called 'barbarian' (ie someone 'they' don't like or agree with or can't conquer) from the Romans onwards. Be good to meet another one. Two against six-plus billion is better than one.

The only true Celts are Cornish. The rest are little more than barbarians.
Timur (684 D(B))
14 Dec 12 UTC
Oh, so that's why they didn't build two walls around Cornwall and Devon? Because you were cool and true and kiss-your-ass. At least we stood up to the Romans while yous just went surfing off the Scilly Isles.
Timur (684 D(B))
14 Dec 12 UTC
Back to the subject: euphemisms.
'Cornish pasties are quite nasty; a bit too pasty, but still quite tasty.'
Octavious (2701 D)
14 Dec 12 UTC
Ah, Timur, the reason they didn't build any walls down here is because they knew we'd just climb over them. With the Scots they knew they'd jump at any excuse to stay in bed instead of fighting. Ach, no! There be a three foot wall! We'll just have to turn back and sit on our arses for 100s of years
Timur (684 D(B))
14 Dec 12 UTC
So what happened to the 7th legion, then? Could've walked through Cornwall to the sea. Chose to come north. Bad choice. Never heard from again.
Octavious (2701 D)
15 Dec 12 UTC
Accountancy fiddle. The 7th never existed. Some Roman governer made himself a small fortune collecting taxes for a legion that didn't exist. Then he heard one of the nobs from Rome was going to pay an inspection and he panics. In despiration he makes up a tale about them "marching north through the wall" where they were conveniently never heard from again.

Oh shit! Who were all those guys with helmets and banners and swords and shields we were about to destroy? Tried to find a translator, but seems they only spoke Latin. Who the hell speaks Latin? Only Scottish students. None around that particular day. So we were pretty much screwed. Ok, too bad guys, here's yer comeuppance!
That's how it went for the non-existent legion.
Timur (684 D(B))
15 Dec 12 UTC
@Octavious: That sounds too true; I think I'll believe your version for now.

...No. Contracting to 20 is ridiculous. The Panthers and Coyotes can both be axed or moved...the Hurricanes and Predators can be moved or somehow made viable...Columbus...but the Ducks, Sharks, Blues, Devils--those are all decent franchises in decent markets.
