little help here guys
Category: fun?

So I have a distant n'th-cousin from Latvia visiting my aunt. She asked if we could take him out to do "young person things" [I'm pushing 30 and I'm the youngest person in my family who still lives in Buffalo, so I guess it counts] on the 11th or 12th. I'm like: no problem. And she's like: he's 20.

GRAHH why is it that my idea of a good time always involves beer, or at least, a place where you have to show proof of age? And there's no f*ing way we're taking a Latvian to Canada on Amateur Night* - I don't know whether it would be worse to get buttraped by the border guards, or have to spend an evening in a bar full of drunk 19-to-20-year-old Americans.**

Help me out here people. I mean seriously my idea of crazy times is going to the Century on Free Bacon Night, getting some wings and a burger and several [ok three] beers, and making fun of mixed martial arts for a couple hours.

I guess yesterday was really Amateur Night but I'll let (e:dragonlady7) explain.
Or to have to spend an evening in a bar full of drunk 19-to-20-year-old Americans while my cousin scores with some freshman in the back seat of her friend's Mazda. Brr.

If you find yourself hungry in Rochester, seek out dogTown gourmet hot dogs & garbage plates

[also, oddly enough, very vegetarian-friendly]. Never before have I had a hot dog served on hand-cut French bread or, for that matter, a hot dog garnished with a reuben [genius].

It's conveniently located right off 490 and well worth the detour if you're just passing through.

more food more thought

It's a True Fact that before 2011 we'll each be called before a Nazi Death Panel. This is a democratic country but the legislation is shaping up fast, so now is the time to weigh in: who first? I'll compile our answers and send them to our representatives.

I'll start us off: I think the first people they should kill is the kind of person who offer unsolicited opinions on groups of people to kill. You know the kind- they start a conversation with 'When I take over the world, first thing I'll do is kill all the--' These people are always insufferably boring, and a world full of them is not worth living in. Now I hear you saying: 'Didn't you just offer an unsolicited opinion on groups of people to kill?' To which I say: 'I'm a patriot, baby. You're welcome.'

Second group: anyone with a rubber scrotum on their car.

Bonus question: what method should the Nazi Death Panels employ to reap their grim harvest? I'm thinkin' meat slicer.

Nicolas Cage: is he reallly a bad actor? Or is he a so-so actor who gets cast in a whole lot of really dumb movies?

Exhibit A: Face/Off, which is a really dumb movie wherein Nicolas Cage plays John Travolta and John Travolta plays Nicolas Cage,* allows us to measure his performance directly against a known-terrible control.

Discuss.

'How can we make this even more ridiculous?'

Face Off was a great Movie, what are you talking about? That being said I haven't seen him in a movie in a long time. I like him because he brings that odd ball sense to a movie, I love that one I forget the name of it when he is at Alcatraz.

In Terms of Acting I have to admit most Actors are Bad. Yes You Heard me say it most actors are bad. Let me explain that think of any big name actor.................. Think of every movie you have seen them in or a preview even ............... Now think of how they talk and give lines ............................
(dots are supposed to give you time to think)
Guess what every actor (ok most) all sounded and looked the same. If you like or don't like an actor you like the way they hold them selves and talk and all their manierisms if you don't like someone you don't like them for the same reason.

You Can't blame that on the actors only though. Most movies have actors play themsleves playing a character. Yes there are some exceptions but that is pretty much true most of the time.

Get ready for the sequel "I've Gotta Hand It To You"

I like Cage. I think he's accepted some really terrible scripts in recent years though.
And Face/Off is one of my favorite movies!
