California/Hollywood?: Marion Hollins vs. Billy Madison
« on: March 25, 2007, 07:35:23 PM »
How can it be that the Country/State which gave us the fine Ms Hollins and her excellent choices and decisions of golf architectural merit, could also foist upon the western world such unutterable drivel?

The United States. I love them. But, like the worst problem child, sometimes I could just spank them for their insolence.

luv,
FBD.

Martin,

Please, whatever you do, do not compare American TV crap with British crap. You are down and out after the tenth hole.

Martin -

California is a large and diverse state, and the United States is a large and diverse country. Much drivel and many excellent things are produced here every day. The same might be said of anywhere on earth. You see, humans have both high and low impulses. Keep up the great topics.

Martin:

There may be a subject to discuss there somewhere but I don't think there is in the way you couched it in the opening post.

Martin,

On this side of the pond, we wonder how Britain can give us both "the stiff upper lip," tea and crumets, etc. and endless Dianna coverage, not to mention Benny Hill. ???

I've heard of people categorizing Californians before, but never did I expect to be lumped with Adam Sandler or Marion Hollins. Ever.

I am very compelled to make an attempt at broadening your view of my home state, Mr. Bonnar. But alas, I am far too busy freeing O.J., partying with Paris Hilton, running on the beach with my bosoms heaving in slow motion and protesting the local coffee shop's refusal to serve organic, fair trade, soy substitute coffee extract to waste my time huddled here in my recycled hemp hut defending my people.

Gentlemen,
coming from the land which proudly gave the world haggis, bagpipes, deep-fried mars bars, Sheena Easton (really sorry about that one!) and men in skirts, I am in no position to disparage the great state of California.

What I was endeavouring - badly, apparently - to explore, was the fascinatingly dichotomous nature of your fine Country.

I am ever grateful for your gift of NASA, Frank Sinatra, Walt Disney, the Gershwins, Andy Warhol, Frank Lloyd Wright, Rock'n'Roll, Steely Dan, Pamela Anderson and Tennessee Williams.

The blokes, however, who sat round a table and thought that Adam Sandler acting like an eedjit for an hour and a half would be grand entertainment should be neutered with a rusty bunker rake.

more luv,
FBD.

Not even a hour and a half, I think that flick checks in at 83 minutes.

C'mon, you can complain about Ms. Vernoica Vaughn Sampras and nudie magazine day....

There is a fascinating dichotomy. I understood your intent. It's just that there are a lot more absurdities to be found in California. I'm trying to make sure that all creeds of buffoonery practitioners are acknowledged.
