I can't believe that I'm going to say this, but what about singing "Always Look on the Bright Side of Life"?

Sorry, I can't help it. I'm a very pragmatic individual and my sense of humor, while hopelessly twisted, is rather dry. It also has a bit of a cynical twist to it. Needless to say, I tend to be a smart ass, much to my own displeasure as well as others. Monty Python, while I admit is funny, simply lacks the ability to hold my interest. It is mindless humor that is good to relieve boredom. I prefer Mel Brooks myself.

I got the joke, but it doesn't change the fact that I got a bitter taste in the back of my mouth from it. While the movie was funny, I thought that it was just stupid... Then again, it IS Monty Python. Despite the dullness of the movie, it has left me wondering one thing: what is the average air speed-velocity of an unladen swallow?

Quit griping, Hunter. I handle every application personally, so I know who I have appoved and who I haven't. I approved you already, so you should be allowed in.

Hello everyone,

I'm a long time lurker, but that is about to change. Recently, I tried to drag other lurkers along with me on the "A Growing Concern" group on Yahoo by using a ranting guilt trip. If you're curious, I posted under the name dragoon0123456789. The end result did not come close to matching my expectations. Regardless, I and a few other people have come together in a group that I have created on Yahoo to try to contribute to the FMG community by writing story series that spawn from a single story. The story is entitled "The Perfume". I already have the author's approval to do this. He's even a member of the group! If you aren't familiar with the story, then you can find it in one of Historian's posts here or on my group. The purpose of the group is to contribute, so, if you wish to join, please find a way to do so and contact me. For those of your that are interested, you can reach the group by going to http://groups.yahoo.com/group/the_perfume_factory/

I apologize if this little speech grates on anyone's nerves, but I lack any other way to say what said above. Thankfully, that does not carry over into my stories, even though they are a bit dry sometimes. Anyway, whether you read this or not, or are even interested, for that matter, thank you for your time.

Hello,

This is my first post, so bear with me. This isn't really a forewarning as much as it is an alert. I don't know if anyone has seen Transporter 2 yet, but one of the three main villains is a pretty buff woman. She isn't big so much as she is defined, but that really isn't that big of a deal. The point is that a woman with a fully defined six-pack, which, I might add, she displays for almost the entire time that she is in the movie, plays a some-what major role in the movie. It's true that she is the least important of the three villains that the movie focuses on, and she is sadistic, masochistic and otherwise completely unstable, but still! There is a definitely well muscled woman that is playing the role of an important character in a good action movie! What's y'all's take on this?

P.S. Don't confuse the term "good movie" with the term "good action movie". There is a substantial difference.
