Dr GB:
With my puerile hat on, I find the BBC coverage of the Eritrea/Ethiopia war very funny. All about battles "raging in the horn". Which is funny. In a "you said poo" kind of way.

Decoy:
Ha! Shecky, you're fired. I think the GB has proven to be the superior comedic mind this week.
(Fri May 12, 2000 - 9:33:48 am)
Chewing Wax:
Yes. I'd agree with that. Let's hire her.

Decoy:
Done.

Decoy:
Shecky doesn't even know what 'puerile' means.

Yes and yes. And you get 6% of Wax's 17% raise.

Not really.

Dr GB:
Have I just blown the job interview?
(Fri May 12, 2000 - 10:13:12 am)
Chewing Wax:
No. You've extended your contract. And I think we should hire that temp as your sidekick.
(Fri May 12, 2000 - 10:17:47 am)

Chewing Wax:
Oh well. Can't say as she didn't have it coming. You little spunky.

Dr GB:
But: ah. Little kitten was put in a bag and put in a bin. The binmen picked up the bag and threw it on the truck but thought they heard a phone ringing and look what they found. Ah. One day old.
(Fri May 12, 2000 - 10:23:54 am)
Dr GB:
Spunky: yes. Yes I am.
(Fri May 12, 2000 - 10:24:05 am)
Decoy:
When you put them in a bag, it is tradition to throw it into a pond, not a bin.

The New York Time has given Battlefield Earth a right panning:

"Battlefield Earth," directed by Roger Christian ("Nostradamus," "Masterminds"), is beyond conventional criticism. It belongs in the elect pantheon that includes such delights as "Showgirls" and "Revolution": the Moe Howard School of Melodrama.

The only professional thing about the movie is the sound: it's so loud you feel as if you're sitting on a runway with jets taking off over your head. The drone of real aircraft would be preferable to what passes for plot. Mr. Travolta is a big enough star to survive "Battlefield Earth," though any career that includes this film and the sludgy melodrama "Moment by Moment" may be placing too much faith in the karma of the comeback. Surprisingly, Forest Whitaker defies the laws of dramatic gravity and entertains as Terl's idiotic sidekick, Ker.

Mr. Pepper's character is referred to by his fellow Earthlings as a greener, meaning he's always looking to the other side, where the grass is greener. That would be just about anyplace other than theaters showing "Battlefield Earth."

SHECKY:

Ah come on Shecky. You know you're the loser here.
(Fri May 12, 2000 - 10:45:34 am)
SHECKY:

I'm going to the beach and getting drunk with Jimmy and McLuedt..so I guess youre right.
(Fri May 12, 2000 - 10:48:44 am)
Chewing Wax:
I think there is room enough to both of your comedy stylings. It's not like Shecky was here every night. Come on. It should be about the humour.

Humour is my middle name.

(May 12, 2000) -- Do you know the problem with a labor of love?

Love is blind.

For proof, check out Battlefield Earth, the project an impassioned John Travolta has espoused for 18 years.
The film version of Battlefield Earth reportedly is based on only the first half of Hubbard's giant-sized novel (which I've managed to avoid reading). The film details life on a post-apocalyptic earth, circa 3000. The planet was long ago taken over by a race of greedy alien giants called Psychlos, who've converted earth into a wasteland junkyard, only good for the mining of gold.
...
The actor is on the record declaring that Battlefield Earth is not Scientology propaganda. "(Hubbard) was a famous science fiction writer," he has said. "That's the deal with this. It's an entertainment piece, and that's all it is."
Travolta can be believed, because there's nothing in this inane film that would make me walk across the street, let alone change my way of life.
