NJC truth

Various truths:

I shall tell you the truth, and you can rely on this fact above all things posted in the JMDL tonight (except the fact that I am going to get a T-shirt that says "Bush = War Criminal" because I think he is dangerously close to that in part, and partly to piss off the apologists for this administration):

1) Truth One: if your child or grandchild asks to see the movie Kangaroo Jack do not take said child. Maybe send the child because the movie does not traumatize children but it surely traumatizes adults. If you can take the premise of a kangaroo wearing a playas jacket being pursued by various assorted Brooklyn and Australian hit squads, you are a better person than I. The only good thing about going to the movie was that I had one grandson with me and we ran into my other grandson, and two of my grandsons' cousins. However, this was about the most dreadful movie that I have ever seen.

2) Truth Two: when you have taught a child it is fun to sit through a movie twice, it costs an arm and a leg to avoid sitting through Kangaroo Jack twice. We ended up doing midnight bowling which is not cheap. However, if you are pissed off about seeing Kangaroo Jack once and having to pay for midnight bowling to avoid seeing Kangaroo Jack twice, it is possible to bowl very good scores.

3) Truth Three: If you ever do midnight bowling, be aware that they play every Dance Hits of 90s tune ever recorded, and you must be careful not to sing along and find yourself in the middle of the bowling alley surrounded by people 1/3 your age while you are singing "I know what I want, and I want it now, cuz I'm Mr. Vain." Now every teen agree in this damn county knows I know all the words to every song that Culture Beat ever did. It's every worse that I knew all the words to every Ace of Base song played too.

4) Truth Four: If you are at midnight bowling and a child, possibly related to you, asks in front of others, what is the intro dance step to I Like To Move It, Move It (by Reel to Real featuring The Man Stuntman) think before you do it, because actually doing it causes other people to stare.

5) Truth Five: They do not play Joni Mitchell music at midnight bowling.

That is enough truth for one night.
