The Happy Moron

The burning question today is whether or not Alain Delon is worth watching as the man in black.
This can’t really be considered an “old timey” film since it dates from 1975. There’s too much franchise history preceding it for it to be cliche making in its own right, but it certainly provides enough material for [...]

A fascinating story about the collision of worlds.
It’s a humbling moment when you look at someone and realize that they don’t like you. “You mean I’m not really all that?”
They don’t like you, they don’t respect you… They think that you and everything you stand for are worthless.

Every Canadian knows about their own inferiority [...]

And once again, science tries to catch up with stuff that has been known since the [...]

I just ran across one heck of an interesting site.
It’s a defunct blog. This isn’t remarkable in and of itself.  It’s a defunct blog which tells interesting stories, however, and that’s neat.
