Aparently Sacha Baron COhen is planning to trash the Oscars should be a laugh.

Think someone already did my dissertation idea already. 40 years ago.
What is it?
About masculinity and Tender is the Night. 
I'm sure yours would end up being totally different in its content!
I wouldn't have thought many people could end up with completely original topics?. Plus 40 years is a looooooooooooong time. So it doesn't really count. Yup.
I read it and it's quite similar. I will just have to argue with him a bit. But I am already over word count by 1,000, and have more to put in. So I will have to cut heavily. My specialty...

I smell sarcasm, but if the BCG had a Pick of the Days Posts, those two would be in contention.
Ha. I suppose it's slightly better to be over than under.
Having dinner and beers at a restaurant in Los Angeles. I hate basketball but I've positioned my seat to point at the television that's showing the game instead of the Oscars because I hate basketball less than I hate Hollywood actors and actresses.
My hosts are forcing me to watch the Oscars. I want to drive down the road and strangle all those Hollywood charlatans. What a pile of human filth. Barf.

You're a principled man, DaButt, so I assume you'll stop watching Hollywood films in protest at those who make it. TV too, as it's pretty much the same type who make that.

I think you know, old man that we two are above the petty considerations of such league tablery that the common fellows here aspire to!
Just had my first amusing thought in about 19 months. Just a headline at the moment:
DAWKINS SLAMS HOMEOPATHIC BUKKAKE
Might work on it and send in to Viz.
I've got no idea what that means.

Richard Dawkins is a biologist well-known for debunking pseudoscience.
Homeopathy is a form of quack medicine in which things are diluted to the point where none of the original compound remains.
Bukkake is a form of Japanese porn in which women's faces are repeatedly jizzed upon.
