apocalypsosLast week, I bought this plastic cauldron and a bunch of candy and brought it to work so that everybody could forage through it for sugary stuff. I didn't expect anybody to chip in anything for the candy cauldron (even if it would have been nice), but today when I was asking what anyone wanted me to pick up from CVS tomorrow, Lieutenant Asshat and Boy-On-Boy Action both chipped in ten bucks apiece for bags of candy. I take back the very few mean things I ever said about Lieutenant Asshat long, long ago, and ... one or two of the many mean things I've said about Boy-on-Boy Action, who cannot buy my loyalty with Bottlecaps and Blow Pops, but can sure as hell die trying.
So, anyway, I listened to Bill O'Reilly again today, so that you don't have to. It's funny to listen to him try to make himself sound unbiased, including referring to "the conservative radio talk shows hosts" as if he weren't included in that list. The number of idiots who called today was a bit higher than normal. My favorite was one woman who decided to pick on Kerry about "his manicures," which O'Reilly was quick to point out was a falsehood his own network had put out there, to which the woman replied that she thought he was wrong and Kerry really had said all those things about getting manicures and being a metrosexual. Lady, the guy works at the same fucking network as O'Reilly. I know he's a schmuck, but I'd at least think he might know this much ... you know, if I were on his side like you purport to be.
Listening to him for a full hour was more than made up for by the tape Ron and Fez played later of O'Reilly reading an email on his show that was obviously a gag (not that he seemed to notice) from a Jack Mehoffer. Maybe he could find some kid who read "The O'Reilly Factor for Kids" and watches The Simpsons who could explain it to him.
Ron and Fez also spent most of the show talking about the movies that have scared the hell out of you on a very personal level. (Because of Janet Leigh dying and Psycho and all that.) Mine are easy, even though I get scared by anything if you film it right:
1. The Exorcist -- A movie I have yet to sit through in its entirety. It's not even that it's gory or terrying or whatever, it's just ... you know how it feels when someone's standing right behind you and you know they're watching you? *shiver* (Also, in The Exorcist III, in that one scene where the robed guy walks across the screen after the nurse ... dude, that scene still scares the hell out of me every bloody time.)
2. Poltergeist -- When I was a little kid, this movie gave me nightmares for month. Of course, it didn't help that I was a small blond girl with a tree outside her bedroom window and -- honest to God -- that exact same friggin' clown doll in my room. FEAR.
3. The Shining -- Elevator full of blood. I have no idea why that, of all things, would get to me, but gyah.
Also, one of the last news stories on Don & Mike was about a mother and father in England named Peacock who named their son Drew. I still say there needs to be specially hired ten-year-old playground bullies employed by maternity wards to tell mothers of newborns what a stupid name they just gave their kid and how many vicious childhood pranks they're going to have to put up with when their parents are stupid enough to name them Drew Peacock.
