I don't know but I had this incredibly strong urge to poke your tummy and I thought you should know.
 
The thrill of the hunt. The joy of the chase. The pleasure of the denouement.
 
I wish I didn't have to drive to Florida on Tuesday. Maybe there will be a freak snow storm, or something . . . .

A Magnificent Folly

I'd never seen Steve McQueen's Le Mans before. The film was released in 1971 and was a gigantic commercial flop. The financial disaster ended up contributing to the collapse of his marriage and forever damaged his ability to produce additional films.

Now that I've finally seen it after all these years, I understand why.

It is McQueen's paean to racing— almost two solid hours of absolutely, gloriously magnificent footage of the 24 Heures du Man. I've attended the race as part of a team for which a family member was a driver. If you don't know racing and if you've never been close to one of those machines, you'll never understand the adrenalin-stoking effect of 600 horsepower's worth of metal screaming at 3,600 RPMs. It is utterly primal; it is the sound of pure power.

There's the Mulsanne straight with drivers topping out at 240 mph ending with a 90° right hand turn— many of the racers end up drifting through that turn with only three wheels on the road while flames shoot from their turbochargers as they reaccelerate.

The reason for the film's commercial failure was obvious; it's two hours of some of the best racing footage I've ever seen— all with no discernible plot for the average moviegoer.

As for me, I was positively transfixed for two hours— standing throughout the whole flick with the volume turned up as high as it would go.


 
I'm eating just the chocolate dollops. :eek:
It's okay, the cookies sucked. I've been lamenting them since I pulled them out of the oven. :( x five billion.

Don't go boom!

I don't want you to. So there.
You are lovely. :rose: I'm afraid the boom shall be coming down for awhile yet.

What? Alison's pressies exploded or something? :cool:
Well, they could have. She bought many possible explosives. Like...cat treats and boypants.

Your sporadic comprehension potholes of English have mystified me at times, given the superiority of your brain and the fact that your whole academic life is fit to burst with A's. That's when I realized: it all goes into the schoolwork. If you don't have to think, you won't, so you just get to say "Whah?" and "Hmm" all the time. :D
Cute little kiwi.

That's why I can't make decisions or multi-task outside of work; it all gets sucked out of me there. :eek:
 
*turns green* my tummy hurts *said in best whinny voice*
