I Just Found Out that it Was Just a Movie.

I was just picking that stuff out from between my toes and I wanted to talk about it...this IS the right thread in which to discuss that topic -- yes??
 
I'm not sure what gave me occasion to give the problem enough thought to figure it out, but it's a bastard mutant form of the proper phrase, like the execrable "could of" in place of "could've."

The original forms would, of course, be "carpet match the curtains" and "carpet match the drapes." Somehow, these two got conflated, resulting in the inquisitive gentleman (or lady) completely failing at being crude and misogynistic while being moronically redundant. An obvious tridefectica if I ever saw one.

Oh, how many times have I heard people salaciously ask if a woman's hair on her head was the same color as the hair on her head...

If it was that easy to figureout that curtains are drapes, then Sonia would already be under the covers in bed with me right now.

I would be doing, instead of posting here right now, that's for sure. ;)

Well, I sure could use that certificate on my wall right now in the event Sonia comes over to my house.

Actually, I am hoping through faith and intercessory prayer that she does. ;)
 
Have you ever been out walking in a city that you think know pretty well, but suddenly you look up and have no idea where you are or how you got there?

That's what catching up on this thread has been like for me.

I don't know about that anteater, but when it comes to Sonia, I am trying to determine whether there is a scientifically valid evidence whether or not watching J.J. Abrams's Star Trek (2009) will help me hook up with her for all that groundwork spent as a Trekkie since the 1980's. ;)

It sure would help to have that certificate on my wall, though. :thumbsup:

That last statement, of course, was intended as a joke. ;)

In all seriousness, rain or shine, I myself like the rest of you intend to watch this film when it comes out in theaters in May 2009. :cool:

Good word, that! Tridefectica -- I will have to use it, some time.

This thread has definately taken some interesting turns... the jury is still our on how many of those turns were good, but those turns were taken still.
 
I'm tempted to put up a concrete spam barricade, since I have no idea what we're even discussing anymore. ;)
