In which a group of graying eternal amateurs discuss their passions, interests and obsessions, among them: movies, art, politics, evolutionary biology, taxes, writing, computers, these kids these days, and lousy educations.

Dear Blowhards --

I've been sick the last few days, but a mere bleary head can't keep me from websurfing and passing along a few links.

* Who knew?

* Yuck, and double-yuck. I just had my own flu shot -- and, as usual, promptly came down with a flu.

* All those visits to the lap dancing club? They were done for the sake of science.

* Cineris enjoyed the horror flick "Cube," and thinks that many horror buffs might find it a nice, even somewhat cerebral, alternative to current torture porn.

* What you enjoy eating may well be influenced by your genes.

* Attack of the Teenage-Girl Clothes Bullies.

* Roissy is nothing if not direct. He also offers an analysis of what a woman's job should tell you about her that sounds pretty accurate to me.

* "I am not driving that car, Dad! It's the wrong color!" Spoiled-brat-ism reaches a new high.

* Excellent (and funny) dating and courting advice found on Craigslist: here and here. (Link thanks to the wonderfully NSFW >Viviane.)

* Prairie Mary approves of Robert Duvall's acting in the TV Western miniseries "Broken Trail."

* MBlowhard Rewind: I raved about Duvall in "Open Range" here.

Sniffling and sneezing,

Michael

I don't suppose it occured to Roissy that the sensitive types might actually be less interested in sex than the neanderthals. The idea of seeking a relationship with a woman that is intentionally short term is completely foreign to me, but then, I've always known I was weird.
