Dept of Future Careers

I think I found my dream job: picking out books for Indiana Jones movies....forever. Well, aside from actually being Indiana Jones, that is. This woman seems pretty qualified, although I don't know if I'd describe him as being a philosopher, per se.

By the way, Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull is like the worst name ever.

Worse than "Attack of the Clones"?

I'm going to say yes. It's a close race, but I think Kingdom of the Crystal Skull is just way, way more ridiculous.

Agreed -- Indiana Jones in the Chasm of the Blow Monkeys would have been better. Come to think of it, almost anything would have been better.... Can Harrison Ford even do all that action-type stuff now that he's old 'n creaky?

Oh, no, not all, that's why they have hired the charismatic action hero Shia LaBeouf to spice things up.

Yeah, this is going to go real well.

You mean the clueless idjit from TRANSFORMERS? O, I am filled with dread already....

I hear they film a lot of hip-hop videos in the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull. Or is that the Kingdom of the Cristal Skull?

(I don't know if I ever told this story, but I thought you'd find it kind of funny. When alissarocks444 and I were in Lublin, Poland last year, she spotted a pretty well-stocked-looking liquor store in the Stare Miasto and -- since everything is so inexpensive in Poland, decided to seek out some deals. She asked the employee on duty, in English, "Do you have any Cristal?"

He just looked at her quizically, so she clarified. "You know -- Cristal. Like Puff Daddy drinks!" [Alissa's an odd duck].

He paused for a moment. Then his face lit up, "Ahh! Bacardi Breezer?")

Good tale. I literally laughed out loud.
