Funny you should say that - as I was just thinking, one of the creepiest moments in any Lynch film (and there are many such moments) is when Robert Blake's character says to Bill Pullman's (is it still Pullman at that point?) that he's at Pullman's house *right now*...and then demonstrates. That's creepy for a number of reasons I can't put my finger on (as per usual w/DL) but surely, Robert Blake himself is among them. - -- ...Jeff Norman The Architectural Dance Society http://spanghew.blogspot.com ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 8 Sep 2007 13:07:32 -0700 (PDT) From: Benjamin Lukoff Subject: Re: jawohl, mein Herr (war: Re: von David Duchovny gebumst) On Thu, 6 Sep 2007, Sebastian Hagedorn wrote: > --On 5.

Well, but "Cheska" is the adjectival form--that'd be like calling France "Francais" or something...I guess "Czech Republic" it is! ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 8 Sep 2007 15:39:32 -0700 From: Eleanore Adams Subject: Re: jawohl, mein Herr (war: Re: von David Duchovny gebumst) I can only speak of Slovensko, which is Slovak for Slovakia, which is officially the Slovak Republic.

'Cause Max is really cool. Max, chime in if I'm wrong, but aren't you a Yankee fan? Of course, for me, that's the worst, but I still love Max. I didn't really know anything about Eagles fans until my friend Kate set me wise. For example, I didn't know that they had a police station right in the old Veterans Stadium so that they could process the unruly more quickly. And then the tales that New Englanders returned home with after Super Bowl (or Superb Owl) XXIX led me to believe that I might not want to go to an Eagles game. What chagrins me is that Red Sox fans, who used to be benignly hapless, have turned obnoxious everywhere they go. IT'S SO FUCKING HOT IN BOSTON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Amazing how private photos of movie stars always come out - even though, unlike the old days, it's not as if there's telltale film dropped off at the One-Hour FotoMart. Clearly, someone was yap-yappin about dude, took a picture of my g/f nekkid - and yappin to the wrong person, who broke into the house, searched the computer for the file, etc. Uh-huh. So parents: that's right, like the article says, it's a talking opportunity. If you're a girl, it's always your fault. And never have sex, until you're dead.
