DC Tom Posted November 30, 2004 Posted November 30, 2004 Is that why you look like Bigfoot? Speaking of DC. I stopped in the 7/11 this morning on the way to work. Guy ahead of me speaking Arabic. Girl behind me speaking Russian. Gal behind the counter speaking Pashtu. Gotta love America. Land of the free, home of apparantly everybody. 139245[/snapback] Damn. Could have had your own reenactment of the Afghan war right there... Bigfoot doesn't have as much cranial volume...I'm more of an evolved Bigfoot...
_BiB_ Posted November 30, 2004 Posted November 30, 2004 How can you be sure? Which dialect was she speaking? Was she from the Mountain Division? 139251[/snapback] I asked her. She was talking to her brother stacking cartons of Marlboros. Actually, pretty cute, too.
Dan Gross Posted November 30, 2004 Posted November 30, 2004 Man, some of you have no creativity in choosing a user name. My real name's Tchazibidan Dzietschewhnikogrossvidibaden, but I decided to shorten it up.... Hey, Ramius, didn't Connery do an excellent Russian accent in that movie? Unbelievable! He is the king of foreign accents, kills them in every movie he's in. B) and dev, why is it that I always try dragging rudy's posts over to your user name?

He might be smarter than you think. After all your cats and gerbils are smarter than you.
VABills Posted November 30, 2004 Posted November 30, 2004 I asked her. She was talking to her brother stacking cartons of Marlboros. Actually, pretty cute, too. 139258[/snapback] Yeah but I bet she's got hair in places that women should not have hair.
DC Tom Posted November 30, 2004 Posted November 30, 2004 But serious you don't even live in DC. Why DC Tom? 139246[/snapback] I'm inside the eltway - er, beltway - so it's close enough. How many of us say we're "from" Buffalo who've actually lived out in Lancaster or Cheektowaga?

B) and dev, why is it that I always try dragging rudy's posts over to your user name? 139260[/snapback] I figured that was where Ramius got Ramius, but if I said so I would have been told I was just acting like Darin. You really need to read the book. Much more interesting than the movie. Though SC was good in it. "Personally, I give us one chance in three". Better than what the Bills are facing.

I asked her how his Russian was, she said "I don't know, I couldn't understand him, his accent was horrible." Apparently Scottish brogues and the Russian language don't mix well.

Considering the relative complexity of the book, I always thought they did a reasonable job of distilling it to a feature film.

Indiana Jones playing Jack Ryan didn't work.

He drones on and on and his books go nowhere. I have probably 6 or 7 half read novels of his.
R. Rich Posted November 30, 2004 Posted November 30, 2004 It's the only one of the books that they did a decent job with. Indiana Jones playing Jack Ryan didn't work. 139281[/snapback] Indiana Jones? I thought it was Han Solo who played Jack Ryan. Go figure.

I have probably 6 or 7 half read novels of his. 139287[/snapback] if you have trouble getting into king's longer novels, and if you are still interested, try "night shifts", "Skeleton Crew" or "Nightmares and Dreamscapes" ...they are 3 books of his short stories...ranging from 5-40 pages a piece...they are great and he gets right into the story, no BS-ing...i can read those at night and still be a bit scared going to sleep...
VABills Posted November 30, 2004 Posted November 30, 2004 Indiana Jones? I thought it was Han Solo who played Jack Ryan. Go figure. 139289[/snapback] I was referring more to the mindset. Damn rich kids with dogs take everything out of context.
Fezmid Posted November 30, 2004 Posted November 30, 2004 And the thread has been officially hijacked. CW
Alaska Darin Posted November 30, 2004 Posted November 30, 2004 Indiana Jones? I thought it was Han Solo who played Jack Ryan. Go figure. 139289[/snapback] You rang?

Indiana Jones playing Jack Ryan didn't work. 139281[/snapback] Worked better than freaking Alec Baldwin. Still, the worst transgression in all of them was Dafoe as John Clark. Give me a break.
