My beloved sister is more years old than she was before!
Of course, a lady never tells how many, and so I won't either. Happy birthday, dude. Keep up the Retardcapades™.
Posted by dianna at March 6, 2008 09:35 AMHappy birthday, Incas!
As your present, I give you this:
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0765458/
It is remarkably faithful to the book, though the pacing does drag unforgivably. Still completely worth Netflixing.
Posted by: didofoot at March 6, 2008 10:50 AMThank youse! I got my ass handed to me last night at bocce as a birthday present. Gosh, thanks. It's my ass on a platter!
Dido, I had no idea there was a movie adaptation. You have made my day.
Posted by: katie at March 6, 2008 01:18 PMI think the correct response to having one's ass handed to one is: "Why, thank you! It's the loveliest gift I've ever gotten!"
Zing!
Posted by: Dianna at March 6, 2008 02:12 PMas i (unlike some people) actually watched all of hogfather, i can tell you it is maybe a little TOO faithful to the book. geez, a three hour miniseries, guys? couldn't you have, i don't know, chopped out some teatime and added some more death and HEX christmas wishing?
Posted by: michele at March 6, 2008 05:20 PMHeh. Not only did she watch it all, she was also the one who discovered it for us. I should remember to credit my sources.
Posted by: didofoot at March 6, 2008 06:02 PMNeither my BF nor I had ever played bocci before last night, and we still got to hand the birthday girl her ass on a platter. Seriously, your big sister has played bocci roughly 693458 more times than I. 'Twas big fun.
We all postulated a connection between not drinking and ass-handing, or drinking and ass-being-handed-to-ing, but we'll leave that connection to be sorted out by a multi-million dollar government study.
Posted by: DelightfulFormerHousemate at March 6, 2008 06:30 PMI'll submit the following piece of self-incriminating evidence. After the DFH and his BF left, sober and victorious, I beat the pants off of my friend Ced, who was at that point drunker than I. That was while I was still nursing my double bourbon. The next game -- and with two additional shots under my belt -- he beat me 13-0. It took 13 rounds.
My shapely ass, slowly served up on a drunk platter.
By the way, DFH, I really enjoyed your boyfriend checking out my ass.
Posted by: katie at March 6, 2008 08:55 PMDFH, I would like to also postulate a connection between never having played before and handing Katie her ass. First me, then you & the charming boyfriend... can it be coincidence? I'll let you know as soon as I get that multi-million-dollar grant and we can start charging the mid-game cupcakes and grape soda to the gubmint's account.
