Steve Martin:

Oh sure, it's easy to stand out here and jump around and try and be a...
wild and crazy guy. I think there's more to entertaining than that, and
that's why right now, I would like to talk about [voice deepens
melodramatically, emphasizing each word] what I believe.


[Gentle string music begins to play and continues in background;
imagine any one of a number of TV shows or movies where a character
begins to make an impassioned but completely phony speech while his
cohorts begin to hum "America the Beautiful" and you have the idea.]

What I believe:

I believe in rainbows, and puppy dogs and fairy tales. And I believe
in the family: Mom, and Dad, and Grandma, and Uncle Todd, who waves
his penis.

And I believe in 8 of the Ten Commandments, and I believe in going to
church every Sunday, unless there's a game on.

And I believe that sex is one of the most beautiful, wholesome, and
natural things that money can buy.

And I believe it's derogatory to refer to a woman's breasts as "boobs",
"jugs", "winnebagos", or "golden bozos". And you should only refer to
them as "hooters".

And I believe you should place a woman on a pedestal, high enough so
you can look up her dress.

And I believe in equality, equality for everyone, no matter how stupid
they are, or how much better I am than they are.

And people say I'm crazy for believing this, but I believe that robots
are stealing my luggage.

And I believe I made a mistake when I bought a 30-story, one-bedroom
apartment.

And I believe that the "Battle of the Network Stars" should be fought
with guns.

And I believe that Ronald Reagan can make this country what it once
was: an arctic region, covered with ice.

And I believe the United States should all foreigners in this country,
provided they can speak our native language: Apache.

And lastly, I believe that of all the evils on this earth, there is
nothing worse than the music you are listening to right now.

Possibly, but it's early yet.

Ya know, I could walk down to the beach and take a look....but since the stupid earth is round (or so they say) I won't be able to see...lol.

However, I DO believe it is.

As for Jennifer Aniston being a flavor of ice cream?....well, I hadn't considered that before, but while we're on THAT topic, I wouldn't mind seeing a flavor board with all the women from Law & Order over the years...lol, I'd balance so many scoops on that cone I'd make you a believer!

The price of gas dropped 26 cents a gallon in one shot here yesterday...brings us down to about $4 bucks now.

You guys will be at $2 bucks in the states in no time;).

In our P.C. world, I believe that is true of the vast majority of us. Only those who hate the right things are allowed to voice that hatred; hate the wrong thing, voice the thought and that person is a pariah. Now it has gotten to the point where merely voicing the truth (actual truth; verifiable facts) is a truly detestable thing if that truth does not fit the 'correct' and current vision of the truth.

Thanks a lot Conrad. Now I'm going to always be sneaking up on my helmet before putting it on. My philosophies and karaoke voice are mine alone - but it does sometimes smell like burnt shrubbery in there - wait, could be my upper lip...

Rubberdown, great name, lucky lady! Rubberupanddown - they like that too! I've scoured the forum, called Murph and checked Twisted Throttle. Nothin on tin foil....I'll call Shoei and see if my old Multitec is prefoiled from the factory.

I believe that, from a business standpoint, Sony did the right thing by not releasing "The Interview" in theaters.
Title: Re: I believe
Post by: VirginiaJim on December 23, 2014, 07:11:06 AM
They had no choice.  The large movie house concerns said that they wouldn't show it.  They essentially lost their outlets unless they offer it up via DVD or streaming.  I believe that they did the wrong thing.  On a happier note, North Korea had large outages (all two routers) on their Internet access.
Title: Re: I believe
Post by: Rhino on December 23, 2014, 08:46:07 AM
I believe "The Interview" was destined to be a total box office flop and relegated to 1 am showings on obscure cable channels until the NORK's breathed life into it. Now as soon as its available on Netflix or whatever, people will watch it just to spite them.

Just a few points for the Norks to make note of

1. If you need a translator to get mad about something, it probably isn't that important.

2. If you tell an American that they shouldn't watch something, it virtually guarantees the will watch it.

3. Until you can build a decent automobile and/or put a man in the moon, as a country, you nneedto shut the hell up. (Make a note of that, France.)

4.  You will not be considered a real country until your citizens have unfettered acesss to vehicles that are capable of speeds in excess of 150 mph. (When some other country puts man on the moon, I'll consider using metric units of speed. Until then.....)
