How Stupid Are They?

[Rufus T. Firefly]

Maybe you could put out one of those Hollywood type teaser trailers in advance.

I've lost my machete.......but I do know where my corn cutter is, and I just made up a gallon of mixed gas for the chain saw.

Children of the Texas Corn Massacre! (with Capt. Spaulding......)

It just occurred to me, you are in your own movie, aren't you.

We all are in our own movie; All the world's a movie and we are its stars..............

Sounds like something Harvey Weinstein would say.

Really? I paraphrase Shakespeare and you come up with Weinstein,

They had MOVIES back in Shakespeare's day. Fabulous, What are some of the titles, I will look them up on YouTube.

The transition from one image to the next seems to have been misunderstood by Naomi Leann Blake. Now millions of people think Dove is advocating that black women change their color.

Never underestimate the stupidity of the general public.

Your explanation is nice, and I'm not sure I agree with your opinion that it was "advocating that black women change their color", but what about folks, like me, who only saw a few seconds of it, initially? Even if a viewer saw the commercial in it's entirety, I'd have to join the stupid bunch and confess I never got the narrative you explained.

You can't just, "join the Stupid Bunch," Murph. There is a test to see if you are stupid enough.

I passed the test and am now fully qualified to participate in this stupid thread.

paraphrase: a rewording of something written or spoken by someone else.

Of course they had movies back in Shakespeare's day. Shakespeare Has Pulled In Over $1 Billion at the Box Office. I just googled, "List of Shakespeare's movies" and got about 2,790,000 results (0.77 seconds).

Well if you are going to change the wording of what was originally said, then in your retirement you could be a news person for the lame stream media.

What did Shakespeare originally say that you reworded.?

That all the world's a stage, that men and women have their entrances and their exits...
(I'm sure The Wayne will be only to happy to correct any errors that wording..)

Good grief - one of the most famous soliloquies, from As You Like It.

All the world’s a stage,
And all the men and women merely players;
They have their exits and their entrances,
And one man in his time plays many parts,
His acts being seven ages. At first, the infant,
Mewling and puking in the nurse’s arms.

It goes on a good bit longer.........

Rufus beat me to it.

We have fun on MTJ but you are going to have a ball when this lady knocks on your door.

[rogruth]

Murph should be looking for her.

Yeah, but, you guys both missed my grammar error, now emphasized above. I typed the wrong "to." It should have been "too," of course. And the "in" is missing between "errors" and "that." However, frankly, Wayne, in this instance, pfft.(Sometimes, quite a few of my replies are typed onto my iPhone, and some of that while waiting in parking lots for my wife to emerge from a store, or wherever, as was the situation for several of my postings today, and I get a little clumsy and distracted, at times. So, Wayne, if it gives you joy, you can credit that to my being stupid and having "senior moments," as you put it previously about me.)

And as far as the lines from Shakespeare are concerned, I only offered the gist of the passage, as far as I was concerned, not quoting nor even paraphrasing. Thank You, Rufus, for quoting the lines exactly, because it was very nice to see them again, and for including the play's title. I had forgotten which play it was and wasn't sure where to go look for them, unaware there would be a test today (silly me).

Fun as all this nitpicking stuff may be, remember, when I first came here to MTJ, Mitch announced you guys didn't need any English teachers here, so you may want to consider whether you want to be so fussy about such matters, out of concern for his viewpoint and comfort. It's up to you. For my part, I'll continue to offer myself up as a target, apparently, out of outright erroneousness, or just for playfulness sake. Have fun.

just for playfulness sake. Have fun.

We love having you here Murph.

Be playful Murph. Only an English teacher can add the most subtle of errors. See what you can get away with, then challenge us to find it if we do not notice.

As for "too" and "in," that was 2 obvious.

Wayne, You remain one of the nicest guys I never met.
