To get back to the SUBJECT–

“apparently Jane’s fascinating life as a single woman during a time of rampant marriage–not to mention a single successful writer chick at a time when men were so completely dominating the field–just isn’t fascinating enough for the filmmakers. They had to make up a suitor and give him a stupid name like “Lord Wisely.” Oh, buh-rother.”

It could have been worse. After all, gay is in. They could have made up another reason for a strong, single woman to be unattached . . .

Actually, you were specifically directed to note his ‘balls’ and if you saw the movie when you were 15-16 you would have thought the contact juggling of the crystal balls was super cool and spent weeks or at least minutes trying to juggle with a tennis ball that you had just taken from the slobbering mouth of a black lab.

And the double meaning was that his spandex were really disturbing.

p., it may be a big step but i believe i’m up to the challenge of exploring a “new” area–i just wish “it” had spawned a really good website like db’s. and robin, your knowledge of history is sorely lacking–dba was not and is not MY obsession, and even if it were, it is not weird. you may recall i was recommended to a certain movie, “labyrinth”, and specifically directed to note db’s a. which i in fact did. because i am a true student of pop culture i did my own independent research thus bringing to light (and to my fellow bloggie’s delight) DBA–the “area’s” official website–truly fine social science and satire.

Oh. Right. Your memory for Annette’s weird obsessions is better than mine. Carry on.

As usual, I’m sure I will regret asking, but I think I get “RWA”–does it start with Robin Williams? But what is DBA?

I reserve the right to delete this question and the answer if once again I am too naive to be allowed my own blog.

Annette - Does this mean that you are going to watch the Fisher King this weekend?

It’s a big step from DBA to RWA.

Careful now, keep all sharp objects away so as not to reflexivly(I’m pretty sure I just made up a new word) stab your own eyes out.
