The Unforgiving Minute
I have known more men destroyed by the desire to have wife and child and to keep them in comfort than I have seen destroyed by drink and harlots.

Yep, too obscure.

Amid the usual death threats and marriage proposals, I’ve had a few email inquiries about the picture in the preceding post.

See, I just thought it would be funny to take Col. Kurtz’s famous line from Apocalypse Now and put it in that particular scene from A Christmas Story. Two well-known movie confrontations juxtaposed with hilarious results. At least I thought it was hilarious. Apparently, no one else did. I have a strange sense of humor.

Anyways, I think the funniest part about the picture is the subtle implication that sweet little Ralphie Parker is about to slaughter Santa with a machete while The Doors blare on the soundtrack. See above re: my sense of humor.

The horror… The horror…

In other news, the Thanksgiving leftovers have all finally been dispatched, even though that meant I was forced to eat a third of a pumpkin pie for breakfast. One must make sacrifices in life.
