Sometimes I do use my genius for evil.<br /><br />Twilight is just too easy a target for ridicule to me. It's almost unfair and beneath my intellect to bash it in front of people I know love it. It does have kids reading and especially girls reading just like Harry Potter so as an educator I admire that. But it IS shit. To protect people's feelings I always say the same thing whenever I hear them gush over it - "It wasn't written for old guys like me so I really don't have an opinion." However, when I am around someone who HATES it as much as I do (the gloomy ennui of Kristen Stewart both in the film and real life makes me want to take a axe to her head) I can bash it like no one else. Did I mention it's SHIT?<br /><br />I have had to listen to people who don't like comic books and would never read anything from the comic genre even such classics as Batman Returns, Kingdom Come and Watchmen. It used to hurt me but now I just feel pity that they don't 'get it' and are missing out. When you love something you want others to love it too. No young girl ever wants to hear me say that shimmering vampires are really stupid.<br /><br />If you aren't reading Samuri Frog's blog where he is reviewing the book chapter by chapter you need to go there. His snarky reviews are as sweet to me as a rare wine.Cal's Canadian Cave of Coolnesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08408150910056369989noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2528812496347938474.post-51459129086960783012009-11-18T17:24:08.628-08:002009-11-18T17:24:08.628-08:00c'mon cal you knew you were gonna piss some pe...c'mon cal you knew you were gonna piss some people off with that post about the bible! but its all good cuz its your blog and you can say whatever you want ;)<br /><br />that list was pretty all inclusive. i dont know for a fact but i would also estimate it is not wise to show up on a teen girls discussion board and start going on about how totally lame Twilight is.Artman2112https://www.blogger.com/profile/03062864368596074661noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2528812496347938474.post-45069446041670824962009-11-18T16:41:19.055-08:002009-11-18T16:41:19.055-08:00I should have known...I should have known...Ricky Shambleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09507937845795960725noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2528812496347938474.post-84623625698393549432009-11-18T16:22:02.437-08:002009-11-18T16:22:02.437-08:00Ricky - It was because of a carefully worded reque...Ricky - It was because of a carefully worded request to the good people at FireFox that the word cephalopod doesn't appear in their dictionary.

I was at a business networking meeting that was about 50/50 right/left politically and one guy used his "commercial" time to push the Tea Party Movement. Ooh, stare at the floor uncomfortably. You just alienated half the room. Tard.<br /><br />Speaking of the Revolution, I've posted a dire warning on wheels concerning the cephalopods over at my place. <br /><br />(Although if it gives you some validation, FireFox's built in spell check does not recognize "cephalopods" as a word. Then again, it doesn't recognize "FireFox" either. Weird.)Ricky Shambleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09507937845795960725noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2528812496347938474.post-503230926217296122009-11-18T12:56:04.995-08:002009-11-18T12:56:04.995-08:00FINALLY Wings you see the danger we all are in.
