10 Cups of Crazy!
I'm watching this whole child pornography special on CNN right now, and it's pretty interesting. (Haha, I just realized that I'm always very intrigued by discussions on child pornography. Read into that what you will.) Anyway, they started talking about this kid who I guess was like the all-time champion of child pornography named Justin Berry. I went ahead and looked up his story on wikipedia, if you're interested. It's a pretty sordid tale and even has links to what seems to be his current site -- justinsfriends.com (which is remodeling due to his new life perspective) -- and his still active Amazon Wishlist (though I'm quite sure every single thing on that list has already been purchased for him).
My favorite part of this whole special though was when they had an analyst on who said, "Having a webcam in the house is just as dangerous as having a gun in the house. I can't think of a single reason for having a webcam in the house and don't think they should ever be allowed around kids without proper adult supervision."
I'm pretty sure I'm in the minority when I think they should get rid of all child pornography laws, because they're, well, pretty stupid. How can you have a law where it's okay for someone to be naked until the age of eight, have it vanish for a decade because it's "indecent," and then have it return to being okay again? How did that ten year range become so indecent in history anyway? Think Wikipedia has any info on it? Let's check...
(Hmm, I didn't find anything, but I didn't try very hard, either. Feel free to shoot me a link if you are as intrigued by the subject as I. ::tumbleweed blows by:: Oh, you aren't? What a surprise. Haha.)
Anyway, I promise that I'm not a child molester. I just don't understand.
In other news, I want the following sayings to catch on:
1. "10 Cups of Crazy" -- During WaldronPalooza: Round 2, inspired by a Team Crazy beirut grudge match (which I won by one cup!), it was decided that craziness should be measured in "cups." As in: "That child molester Steve Waterman (no, I swear I'm not really) is 10 cups of crazy!" Or: "Nigga, you all 10 cups of crazy!" In my mind, this number should never be higher than 10, but if it ever did catch on it would undoubtedly evolve into "11 cups of crazy" just like when some genius figured out he could say, "On a scale of one to 10, you are an.... 11! Get it? Haha, you're off the charts." Beh. Same thing with "all that and a bag of chips." Damned pseudo-creative assholes.
2. "Snakes on a Plane" -- Inspired by the forthcoming movie of the same name starring Samuel L Jackson that is destined for (or perhaps has already attained) cult status simply because of the title, this is a saying that needs to catch on. As the Worst Previews website describes it:
Apparently, websites have already been devoted to the film and have even developed a phrase out of the title. “Snakes on a Plane” is meant to describe a situation that has gotten so bad that it is uncontrollable. For example: “Ever since I forgot about the big project, my relationship with my boss is like ‘snakes on a plane.’” All this leads to only one conclusion: the film should manage to rake in a healthy amount of money once it comes out.
How good is this saying/title? I mean, seriously, what could be worse than snakes on a plane? According to reports, "Samuel L. Jackson only signed on for this film because the title was 'Snakes on a Plane.' When the filmmakers tried to change it to 'Flight 121,' Jackson was adamant to keep it 'Snakes on a Plane.'" Smart man.
Mostly Unrelated Tangent: The Flight 93 movie sounds very interesting to me. And probably pretty sad.
3. "How do you do?" -- An oldie but a goody. I love trying to revive classic sayings. Who says "How do you do?" anymore? I think it might just be Brenna's mom! But soon, I will, too!
4. "Shit Midas" -- This is mine. I'm 94% confident I created it. I love it. I want you to say it. But I want you to credit me every time you do. It's pretty self-explanatory, but if you need an explanation, you call someone a shit midas if they inevitably wreck situations via klutzy/destructive behavior or incredibly bad luck. For example: If whenever your friend walks into a room while you're watching a game, your team starts to blow it, you say: "Barney, you shit midas, get out of here!"
Speaking of teams, baseball started this week. My young Marlins lost on a wild pitch yesterday (ooh, but they're up tonight!), the Sox won (though they're losing right now), and my fantasy baseball team is in first place (where else would it be?). I'm going to my first Sox game of the season a week from tomorrow, so, well, pray for nice weather and sexy companionship. I know you'll think good thoughts.
