Pulp Fiction is among the top 10 movies of all time. It is a great movie, but it is not a family movie.
Samuel L. Jackson plays a guy named Jules. Jules has a foul mouth. I know this. Some of the most quotable lines come from Jules. While flipping through channels the other night, I saw that Pulp Fiction was on TV. Because the movie is so great, I wanted to watch it. I then realized why I don’t like watching movies like Pulp Fiction on channels that edit for content.
Every time Jules is talking about another person, he refers to them as “little sucker”. It just doesn’t have the same ring to it.
Another edit I was amused by: When talking about many piercings (all done with a needle) , they failed to mention a piercing in the female characters “private parts”, instead said it was in her “neck”. I wonder if they were thinking it would be like a Frankenstein type thing?
I opted not to watch the movie in its entirety, so I don’t know how much of the 154 minutes was edited out. My guess is AT LEAST 45 minutes.
Do you watch movies that are “edited for TV”? How about shows like ‘Sex In the City” on TBS? (Does Samantha ever speak?)

I am no law expert, especially driving laws. I am not even sure I could pass the written portion of the driving test without studying. Even though I don’t know the laws all that well, I am pretty sure that it is against the law to not pay attention to driving, while driving. This would include putting on your make up, reading War and Peace, making dinner, and computer programming.
I bring this up because I am confused why most states find it necessary to make laws specifying what you cannot do while driving (talking on the cell phone, texting, etc.). Do these people know that if you make a law too specific, it is easy not to break it. For example, if it is against the law to text while driving, does that mean that I can check my email? Write a dissertation on the wood sparrow’s mating habits? Proofread my blog posts? Really folks – let’s go with the general rule of paying attention to driving, while driving and that covers all the things that people should or should not be doing while sharing the road.
This is just my two cents, but I am curious what you think? Any budding traffic attorneys out there that can help us learn why we need laws this specific about driving habits?
P.S. – this post is for you CJR… I do love Corey, but the reason I haven’t posted in a while is because I’ve been on vacation – not because I was mourning Mr. Haim.
This one falls squarely in the “?!?!?!” category.
Virginia Senator Creigh Deeds has passed a bill allowing for an “Infant Hunting License”.
A few talking points:
- It is for children aged 2 and above (not infants… but really, why split hairs here)to get a lifetime hunting license.
- It allows a Virginia citizen to have a lifetime hunting permit for $125 provided they pass hunter education at age 12. (they can hunt for 12 years before getting hunter education) It is sited as an investment, since a junior hunting license is $250… but it is a lifetime permit.
- Apparently there is no hunting age minimum in Virginia, but children under 12 must be supervised by a licensed adult hunter. (So we can load up the Bean and have her shoot dinner for us… as long as one of us is a licensed hunter)
- I wonder if Mr Deeds knows something about the Zombies that he isn’t sharing… which is why he wants to arm every citizen?
Discuss among yourselves. Enjoy.
I am taking this idea from the Facebook status of a friend (no, I don’t want to know what color bra you have on).
It prompted me to think more about the band than I have in a long time (and now am listening to them), and made me want a Latte. That – and I hope it will make you comment 
What flavor would a “Metallica Latte” be?
Discuss amongst yourselves. I’ll be back w/ my thoughts tomorrow.
At the office, Private-i and I share a faux wall. Apparently in my absence, someone decided to move in to keep Private-i company.
Helga.
Helga is a mouse that is described as MAYBE two inches long. The reason she is named Helga is because it was decided she was female (just because). Helga was discovered by startling Private-i, causing her to choke (making her a death mouse). A death mouse has to have a good death mouse name… Helga was named.
I am going to the office on Thursday, but am hoping that Helga would have relocated by then. Private-i would like her to be part of a relocation program, vs. a relocate to the grave plan that facilities will likely perform.
How do you relocate neighbors such as Helga? Do you relocate, or do you search and destroy?
This is a photo from my phone of the TV screen showing the Snuggie-wearing dog. I don’t get it. Do you?
I shopped online and in person for a couple of months. This weekend, I found it. It is a Kate Spade, simple, lovely, pretty, black purse. I love it.
I am still happy with my “sport wagon” though… I don’t think I will be buying a new sports car any time soon… especially one that would fit in the DC Metro area. This picture is of a pair of Ferrari’s seen in the parking lot near Leesburg. I wonder if it is “his and hers”?
