AAAAAAAAA my eyes you had to do it.Apacalypto was a good one.

[Rick]

Uuummmm. I'm tellin' mom!!! Mooooom! Sarge posted the hong pic....AGAIN!!!! See? It's not me that posts it.

Two things in this life are assured. Indeed, concrete. You will post a reference to Bear, drinking urine and/or squeezing pooh and you will reference hongs. All four in the same post would be like a Sarge Grand Slam.

For those keeping score in this thread we have a triple (oh, so close) and a single that scored an RBI.

Am I the only one who wonders what Rick was doing in the basement dressed like that
and why Sarge was taking his picture?

@WildWoman - Sorry, but I got a giggle from your post. Not for the meat and potatoes of it, but from your comment regarding Southerners and then talking about Toronto. I suppose it's all about perspective, but I think some of YOUR Southerners would welcome the wolves if they were introduced to the swamps and gators that OUR Southerners experience.

[wildWoman]

Teehee...I'm sure the toe nails of OUR Southerners curl at lots of things you guys have down there! Mine do at the mere thought of your summer temperatures. And the length of summer. Ugh. Now that's truly scary.

I thought I'd resurrect this old thread to say that I'm watching The Impossible. It's a film about the 2004 Indian Ocean Tsunami and so far it is exceptional. It's a rather intense and very stirring disaster film focused on the human aspects of the event, which seems to portray the suddenness, chaos, overwhelmingness and shock of such a large catastrophic event as vividly as a film could. I recommend it.

Not sure if it was listed, but Alabama Moon is a pretty good movie. The kids liked it but said it was a little sad at times.

Based on a true story in Australia, yet a great survival film! "The Rabbit Proof Fence!"..............

I don't think anyone mentioned the classic survival movie, Deliverance (1972).

My own favourite is a riveting documentary called Touching the Void (2003), based upon a book of the same title by Joe Simpson

The book and film recounts the true story of two climbers and their perilous journey up the west face of Siula Grande in the Peruvian Andes in 1985. The trip goes disastrously wrong when one of the climbers (author Joe Simpson) slips and falls, shattering his leg. His partner undertakes a heroic effort to rescue him, tying them together and lowering his injured partner down the snowy peaks one bit at a time. In another bit of bad luck Simpson slips over a snow ledge and finds himself dangling from the rope in a blizzard with a broken leg, unable to climb the rope, and unable to be heard or even signal he's still alive to his partner. Meanwhile his partner, who is still tethered to Simpson, is slowly being dragged to the edge himself. Unable to tell if his dangling partner is still even alive, he holds on as long as he can in the blizzard but he is slowly being dragged closer to the edge of the precipice himself. Desperate, frozen and unable to haul Simpson up, he eventually cuts the rope...and then things start to get interesting.

The film documentary is narrated by by the two climbers. It's a must-see or must-read, in my opinion.

Hope this helps,
- Martin
