Funny story. I should be getting that email from the family any day now...
Oh, it wasn't that bad. I kind of liked it.
What did you "kind of like," The Dude? The movie "Cloverfield," the e-mail that Sethbag received, or dogpoop?
The movie. I thought it was easily better than the average Hollywood monster movie -- definitely better than "I Am Legend" if you as me. Rottentomatoes gave Cloverfield a "fresh" rating, If I recall correctly.

How do the two cats get along?
At first, Beans hated Tarzan and hissed at him every chance she got, but he totally deserved it. He's a wild kitten, biting and scratching everything and everyone he can. He's Nazrat the Terrible. Or, Tarzan, King of the Drapes. (He's conquered them repeatedly.)
Fortunately, Beans and T. are getting along much better lately. I actually found them curled up together on my daughter's bed this afternoon. I'm pleased, because Beans has been missing her brother, and needed a new cuddle partner.
The kicker is that not only do you have to EAT the dog-poop brownie church, but you have to GRIN and LIKE it. Hence the origination of the term "s**t eating grin".
We hate to seem like we don’t trust every nut with a story, but there’s evidence we can point to, and dance while shouting taunting phrases.
But I want to be perfectly honest with you. There is one ingredient I added that is not usually found in brownies. I got that ingredient from our own back yard.
I thought the story was about to take a different twist ... I was hoping he'd added some mj to the brownies.
Last summer Cartoon network was inundated with commercials for the film Transformers. I enjoyed the robots from my childhood and was excited to take my kids to see the latest version, something small to bond over. Sure it was pg-13, but really, they are marketing it to kids so how bad could it possibly be? Its probably just for the fighting.
What we got treated to was a robot who transformed in front of the kids and shouted "What up bitches", follwed shortly afterwards by one of the robots "urinating" on a mans head. But the best part was the 2 min long conversation bewteen the main characters mother and himself over how its ok to mastrurbate and he doesent need to be ashamed.
My kids wont be seeing PG-13 movies again.

I don't remember anything really bad in transformers. THe worst thing about it was it sucked. I have no problem with parents deciding what their kids can and cannot watch, I just think the lesson in the email is pretty stupid. Even the tiniest bit of wickedness in a movie makes the whole thing bad? Give me a break. I would hate for someone to miss a really good story with incredible moral lessons just because their might be a pair of boobies that flash across the screen for 2 seconds, or someone says the S.H. word. I knew one TBM who didn't like Pinocchio because Gepetto smoked a pipe. He said it's OK if bad guys smoke, but if a good guy smokes his kids might think it is OK to smoke. I assume he completely missed the bigger moral of the story. Anyone who applies the dog poop lesson to their movie selections will end up not watching anything, because pretty much any movie out there will show something that is contrary to the gospel.

Oh NO! Did you form an impromptu Parents Coalition and ask...yea, DEMAND that this horrific justification for such a dirty and sinful act be immediately stricken from the record of human history?
Gaz, I will never get you. Honestly. I mean, come on. You got riled up over THAT? This is why Mormons hate sophisticated movies (not transformers, that was a dash for cash) and LOOOOVE disney. Its like guzzling corn syrup.
