^You mean this album cover? Yeah, that was pretty hot alright. However I'm still partial to Dolor
es Erickson
. My parents had that album, and I was fond of staring at that sleeve a LOT.

The best Bond song. Maybe because; music by Marvin Hamlisch, (cheesy looking guy but quite talented), with lyrics by Carole Bayer Sager.
Who remembers that Carly album cover from "Playing Possum" with her on her knees in that teddy? Without a doubt the hottest album cover of the early 70s. My prior favorite, the whipped cream girl, Dolores Erickson, on the Tijuana Brass LP.

It's easy: Just post a comment there and say something like "Thanks, you beautiful bastards."

On second thought, maybe you better not say that, or else people will think you are my sock puppet.

You are mighty nice to include me in Sift talk. Not being particularly skilled at negotiating this Site, (other than slapping a video in), how do I best address and thank those who commented on your post?

My apologies for temporarily robbing you of your gold star just after you earned it; I thought that a * dead invocation didn't remove the star point until after the video entered the deadpool.

I have not read the essay you quoted, though I like the idea of a modern rhetorical dialog. I am actually a trained Classicist and a biological anthropology master's student. From both these fields arises the only conclusion worth discussing: namely, and I quote the title of a questionable book "War is a force that gives us meaning." For better or worse, it is, as your quote describes, the captain of human selection, aside from microbial flashes in the pan every millenium or so. Our species is defined by how well our ancestors fought one another in competition over resources: only the badass have survived. The badassness I'm talking about is not only evident in our physical forms (skeleto-muscular and cognitive forms), but is also present in the very threads that weave we individuals into our cultures and our cultures into societies. I embrace the idea of a cultural revolution against these tendencies, but without basing such a revolution in the above premise, the cause is as doomed as all attempts have ever been.

Distorting historical facts is low, I'm disappointed in Wilcox.

Sounds like you must have read Will and Ariel Durant's essay "The Lessons of History" that accompanies their 10 volume work "The History of Civilization." The short essay should be required reading for every school kid.
From Chapter 11, History and War (presented as a debate between general and philospher)

You're right of course. I know the movie wasn't really about fishing. Fishing was simply a vehicle to tell a deeper story. And that scene where Brad Pitt reeled in the big one was the most exciting depiction of fishing I've ever seen. I don't angle any more, but even when I did I never fly fished. i was always too lazy. However I recognize the skill it takes to do what was portrayed in the movie.

And was that girl in your avatar holding a fish? I didn't notice. I need rehab too.

In reply to this comment by snoozedoctor:
Did you say fishing? When are we going? I have my stuff packed. OK, I admit, I'm an addict and in need of intervention and rehabilitation. However, the main point of "A River Runs Through It" was not really about fishing. It was about the flaws that bring us to ruin, and our inability to sometimes help those closest to us. (Although, aside from that last scene, my favorite part of the movie is Brad Pitt trying to land that monster in the rapids)

As for the avatar girl, never met her, don't know who she is, but I can't resist a beautiful woman holding a fish. Did I mention I'm in need of intervention and rehabilitation?

In reply to this comment by kronosposeidon:
You're just a sucker for anything that involves fishing, snoozey. Not that there's anything wrong with that. Especially your avatar. I have to ask: Do you know that attractive young lady in your avatar? I'm going to keep it clean and respectful for now, because if she's your wife, sister, daughter, or other female relative I'll be really embarrassed. If not, then I'll proceed to get nasty and obscene.

You nailed my soft spot. I read the book long before the movie was made. One of the most perfect paragraphs in American literature, if not the top. I'm misty eyed and swallowing hard, it gets me every time.

As long as you checked it out, that is the main thing. Sleep-deprived? Kind of makes your screen name a little ironic, n'est-ce pas?

Captain,
I was so sleep deprived after my night shift, I totally missed the link you sent.

I watched the video and enjoyed the journey of that red cell, although I kept waiting for Raquel Welch to float by and turn it into a fantastic voyage.

Like I said when I was paged at 4 AM this morning, "are you paging me, and by the way, who are you and who am I?"
