I’ve got nothing for this half hour and I need to take a prolonged potty break and leg stretch so I’m going to pull a ***Dave here and declare this a sort of intermission type entry. Feel free to pretend this thread says whatever you want to talk about in your comments.

Back soon.

Breaks are good.  Really.  And, really, the rules don’t say we have to actually say anything profound, just post every half hour.

Of course, I’m not sure anyone would sponsor us to just say, “Checking in for this half hour.  Go on with your life.  I’m going to change the channel now ...”

Gibson is apparently apologizing for his behavior:

http://www.cnn.com/2006/SHOWBIZ/Movies/07/28/gibson.dui/index.html

“I acted like a person completely out of control when I was arrested and said things that I do not believe to be true and which are despicable,” the statement said. “I am deeply ashamed of everything I said.”

You know, I really can’t imagine how someone can say such vile things without believing them at least to SOME extent.  I’m sure he’s just sorry that he was caught saying what he really DOES think.

Well, we got rid of all our Mel Gibson DVDs as soon as he heard he was a Holocaust denier, so there’s not much left to do.

GM: Well, we got rid of all our Mel Gibson DVDs as soon as he heard he was a Holocaust denier, so there’s not much left to do.

“… as soon as we (?) heard ...”
I never heard that one, though with what he is reported as saying, I’m not surprised.

I really can’t imagine how someone can say such vile things without believing them at least to SOME extent.

Yeah, I agree - it goes right along with the old one about ‘many a true word is spoken in jest’.
Well, I’m a Gibson denier - I deny he was ever an Australian citizen.  LOL

I’ve discovered that it all boils down to brain wiring: your brain is wired to worship magic or it isn’t, either it’s wired to utilize logic or it isn’t, either it’s analytical of myths or it isn’t.

Isn’t alcohol something of a truth serum?  People always say; “I didn’t mean it, I was drunk”.  But alcohol lowers inhibitions.  Never heard of it changing closely held opinions.

I just bought the Die Hard trilogy at a yard sale for $1 today!  Great movies.

It’s not his fault.  His next movie will show how the English made him say it.
