He never had any luck with the girls because of the fishy smell.

I guess NO ONE gets the old HIP-HOP reference I made?

"When the environment a species lives in changes significantly, natural selection can force extraordinarily rapid evolutionary changes. In a mere ten generations since the development of superhighways, for example, fish have evolved wheels."

Tom was determined to prove to the world that he had overcome his ichthyophobia.

I guess white folks here don't know anything about old hip-hop music here, huh? Oh well.

depends on the hip hop, i was a big fan of de la soul and a few of the sugar hill artists (grandmaster flash et al)

SIGH- I was making an ONYX reference. Remember them?

A joke or reference isn't funny if I have to explain it to people.

nope

also include the jungle brothers and a tribe called quest to the list of older HH i quite enjoyed

Clyde hoped his "Tarzan the Beach Boy" video would go viral on YouTube and attract some Hollywood producers.

"Man, I just love the feel of fish scales rubbing against my (expletive deleted)."

"Did you hear what happened to my cousin George?
"You didn't?
"You don't remember him? Well, I've got a photograph that was taken of him
when he was full grown. I've displayed it below. Take a look at it."






"Now you remember?
"Good.
"When he was just a kitten, he was sold at a pet store in Chicago to
a nice lady named Rachel Creed. She was married to a doctor named Louis.
They had two kids. The older rugrat, whose name was Ellie, gave George
a rather peculiar name. Named him Winston Churchill. (Don't ask me why.)
Called him 'Church' for short.
"Anyway, they moved all the way to a small town in the state of Maine.
Let me see ... what was the name of that town? Now I remember! Ludow.
Louis had gotten a job at the University of Maine in Orono to head up
the student infirmary.
"You know, I never cease to be amazed at how stupid humans can be.
The house that Louis chose for his family happened to be located
along a highway that was used by trucks that often passed by at high speeds.
Considering that Louis had two kids (one of whom was just a toddler),
you'd think that he would have found a safer place to live ...
"Tell you what I'm gonna do. I'm gonna skip a lot of details and tell you
what happened to Cousin George during the Thanksgiving break. Like
many other pets of the local kids, he was run over on that stinking road.
Louis' neighbor across the road, an old goat named Judson Crandall,
discovered George's body and called Louis on the phone. Louis told Crandall
that he dreaded telling his daughter that her beloved cat had been killed.
Well, after all, we cats do make the best pets!
"Crandall told Louis that they were going to bury George immediately,
even though snow had just fallen. Earlier that fall, Louis had received
a supernatural warning from some dead college kid to never cross a deadfall
that was in the woods behind his home. But since he was an atheist,
Louis could only deny the reality of the visitation. So, when Crandall
led him across the deadfall, did Louis hesitate? What do you think?
Of course, he didn't. What a dope!
"He went to the other side, where Crandall took him to a cursed MicMac
Indian burial ground that had been abandoned since Colonial times.
Crandall told Louis to bury his cat there and even gave him specific
instructions on how to do it. When they returned to Louis' home,
Crandall told him to not tell Ellie or anyone else what they had done.
"As they say, the cat came back. It came back the very next day.
But that wasn't my dear Cousin George, I tell you! His soul was gone
from his crudely reanimated body, which was possessed by an evil spirit.
Knowing what the cat had become, did Louis ever consider killing the
cat-thing, especially considering the fact that it just might pose a threat
to his kids? Again, he did not! I just don't have the heart to tell you
about the sequence of horrible events that occurred as the result
of all this craziness. All I can say is that humans have got to be the
dumbest animals on this planet!"



nifty Pet Sematary artwork
(copied and pasted from another thread ...)

AWWWW to the first three cat pics. EWWW to the last one- I HATE HORROR. Horror goes against my beliefs.

HELP! There's a giant gila monster on the loose!



"I eat whenever I eat, whenever I eat. I eat whenever I eat. A teen I eat."

Interestingly enough, although Stephen King is an unbeliever, Pet Sematary’s plot fascinates me as a Christian. Were it not for all the profanity and cussing, I would have a permanent copy of the novel in my personal library. The Louis Creed character gets into an awful lot of trouble precisely because he’s an atheist. He’s unable to accept a supernatural warning because he can think only along strictly materialistic lines, and he’s also not able to recognize the fact that only evil can come from the cursed MicMac burial ground.

I wasn’t trying to mock you with my funny posts. I just have a sense of humor. The cat monologue above was intended only to provide a little humor, and I do mean little.

I’d like to ask a question out of friendly curiosity for the sake of discussion: How does horror fiction go against your beliefs? (I should point out that I don’t like all horror fiction. I’m rather discriminating in my preferences. Actually, I’m more of a fan of the original Twilight Zone and Outer Limits TV series from the early 1960s. Many of Rod Serling’s tales have a moral framework.) Again, I’m going to have to excuse myself from the family PC for a while; so, I won’t be responding immediately; that is, if you choose to post. In the meantime, have a good weekend.

When I was a kid my dad had a lot of those books and movies-glad he got rid of them.
