Congrats to all who entered and tried. It's not an easy feat to tell a coherent, let alone interesting or erotic story in 100 words exactly.
Jaws
Alien
The Cabin In The Woods
Super 8
Deep Rising
As far as pure horror, nothing will dethrone Jaws. Alien will always be number 2 and the other three might change up over time. They are slightly scary but full of humor which is always a good thing.
Three months before I finally visit her place? That time frame would only happen if she were married and I knew about it.
But if your scenario did occur, I'd go visit a couple of doctors, one to get tested physcially and the other to get my obviously misfiring brain diagnosed.
In no particular order this week... Not a wasted moment any evening -
The 40 Year Old Virgin
The 13th Warrior
12 Years A Slave
The Hateful 8
Arrival
Bad Times at The El Royale
Good Luck Chuck
Bohemian Rhapsody
Defiance
Meet Joe Black
Payback
The Gentlemen
I've developed this mysterious rash.
I cannot remember where I've lifted this from - it may have even come from someone in this thread's past postings @ Lush a few years ago.
I used to believe I was a liberal tree hugger, now I'm convinced I'm more - of a Progressive - than 'just a liberal'. I've felt this way since shortly after Obama took office in January 2009. He turned out to be so disappointing to me. Hope & Change: They fooled me one last time in 2008.
The Progressive Review
How to tell the difference between a progressive and a liberal
Progressives, as liberals did before Reagan, emphasize doing the most for the most – which is how we got socio-economic programs such as Social Security, Medicare, and a minimum wage.
Today’s liberals favor expanding health insurance company profits over expanding Medicare and strongly support Democratic presidents who undermine the very programs that earlier liberals created such as social welfare and Social Security.
Progressives don't act like prudes, puritans and prigs.
Progressives don’t think the commerce clause of the Constitution should be used just because you feel like doing something, such as avoiding single payer health insurance.
There is a huge difference between using the commerce clause to guarantee human rights and using it to subsidize health insurance companies.
Progressives recognize the Green Party and its members as part of a broad coalition. Most liberals act as though Greens were a new kind of HIV.
Progressives try to convince people with whom they disagree, not just scold them.
Progressive oppose the wars in Afghanistan, Pakistan and Iraq; liberals like them as long as a Democratic president is running them.
Progressives oppose the war on drugs, America’s most masochistic and deadly battle since Vietnam. Liberals treat it with utter indifference.
Progressives believe what people do is more important than how politely they talk about it.
Progressives don't think you should have to go to grad school to have an important role in government.
Progressives respect state and local government; liberals often act like they're a Republican plot. Progressives understand the importance of the devolution of power to the lowest practical level.
Progressives worry about locked doors, liberals about glass ceilings, which is why liberals thought Obama's election would create a post-racial society.
Too many liberals are infatuated with symbolism such as electing a black president, while ignoring the real problems most minorities face in everything from the job market to dealing with the law.
Even progressives who don't own guns respect the right of others who do. Besides, why piss them off the way liberals have done, when they could be allies on a host of other issues, beginning with civil liberties?
But then, progressives still defend civil liberties. Liberals seem to have forgotten about them and ignore Obama's abuse of them.
Progressives pursue issues; liberals support candidates.
Progressives don't give up an issue just because the candidate they voted for is now in office and opposes it.
Liberals love Clinton and Obama while despising the Bushes who preceded them. They don’t seem to notice that our government continued to move to the right under both Democrats and that neither repealed any significant policies of their GOP predecessors
Progressives don't think bailing out banks is an economic stimulus, but that helping to create jobs and stop foreclosures is.
Progressives support local public schools and their teachers; liberals go along with the Bush-Obama attack on public education.
Progressives are not afraid of criticizing Israel for its abusive treatment of Palestine. Liberals either support Israel's criminal actions or are afraid of being called anti-Semites so don't say anything.
Progressives have new ideas; liberals come up with new compromises with the right.
Liberals have become an elite demographic while progressives are a populist movement.
Progressives believe that change is produced by broad coalitions brought together on specific issues, but not necessarily agreeing on all policy.
Liberals believe change will come when everyone acts like they do.
