GET DOWN FROM MY OBSTACLE!!!

&$%*, I think &*%$, you slimy @$(*# little %&*# &!&*(@# and a *%$@&!!!


Wow....bad morning?


Not at all.


The readers will understand....it is monday and all.


No really. Today's status message is not a rant at all, merely a family-oriented impersonation of a movie.


Must be a great movie with dialogue like that.


Well, this weekend, I decided to watch Full Metal Jacket again, and the status message is an homage to R. Lee Ermey's Gunnery Sargent Hartman. I watched the movie again partially because Sargent Hartman amuses me to no end, partially because it was on TV, and partially because I was curious to see if I would understand the ending this time around.


And...?


And Stanley Kubrick gets the better of me again. I get the duality of man stuff. I get the dehumanization of Joker...but I can't for the life of me come to grips with the fact that an entire platoon of Marines march off into the sunset singing the theme to The Mickey Mouse Club.


This spoiler alert brought to you by Miracle Posting Incorporated. If it's a good Blag Post, it's a Miracle!


Yeah...that's not really a spoiler, since it's somewhat of a throw-away thing at the very end of the movie that has nothing at all to do with the plot, characters, or anything else. I just don't get it.


Speaking of movies and guns...


Yes. So it seems that it's time to bid a fond Farewell to Charlton Heston, who passed away this past weekend. I'd also like to point out that this Blag is far too classy to run a "Cold Dead Hands" joke here.

I believe Chuck Heston died from too many soylent green burgers.
