What about nachos though?

the grand national is always fun to watch but you cannot portend that the outcome is anything other than random.

but yah standard horse racing is like Olympic running im sure all the owners will have trained the horses in an fairly equal manor just as im sure all the athaltes will have trained comparatively as hard as each other (with the difference negligible to the final result), leaving the only variables that result in a win or lose pretty much out of human control (DNA of runners and other factors).

all the variables of greatest impact are chance not skill based ( well aside from paying more for a better breed of horse but then the skill is in having more money not horse racing )

It can still be enjoyable to watch as I say the dynamics of what happens is more interesting than the final result. this is why horse / car racing is more intresting than rolling dice.

so yes horse racing is not "exactly the same " as rolling dice as its a more dynamic interlude before the results are presented but I would argue its reasonably close in terms of the results not being in control of the people involved.

The only thing I dislike with a good proportion of sport is people falling for the illusion of human skill within them , and the congratulatory aspect of it it would be absurd to congratulate me for successfully winning the lottery and then reporting on it as if it was skilfully done and that it was some how all intended by the participant.

Well, agree to disagree I guess -- I liked the introductory interludes, and thought that the film felt fairly original and certainly held my interest the entire time. The performances were definitely above average (important for a film like this), and a lot of Tarantino's dialogue is more interesting and generates more suspense than many other directors' action scenes.

And videosiftbannedme -- I agree about Death Proof. This is a much better film.

Yeah, weird choice in music. It is interlude from cavalleria rusticana by Mascagni, actually a very beautiful piece from his one act opera.

I'm enjoying this brief interlude where liberal talky-heads honestly support the US military.

48 hours doesn't quite make up for the past 8 years, though, does it?

Obama's bowing to royalty and America-bashing Euro Tour negates one correct (and obvious) decision.

Since Slowbama is now failing to follow-up with carpet-bombing of the Somalian coastline, I predict the scum will strike back and kill at least one American at sea in the next 6 months.

♪♫♪♫ interlude ♪♫♪♫

cricket has long pauses and interludes to allow for people to sip there tea and butter up there crumpets

Moppin up sodapop rickeys
To our hearts delight
Dancin to swingeroo quickies
Jukebox Saturday night

Goodman and Kyser and Miller
Help to make things bright
Mixin hot licks with vanilla
Jukebox Saturday night

They put nothin past us
Me and honey lamb
Making one Coke last us
Till its time to scram

Money we really dont need bad,
We make out alright
Lettin the other guy feed that
Jukebox saturday night


After sippin a soda we got a scheme
Somebody else plays the record machine
Its so easy to say pet names
When you listen to the
trumpet of Harry James...

(-Instrumental interlude ala Harry James-)

We love to hear that tenor croon
Whenever the Ink Spots sing a tune...

("The Ink Spots"):
If I didnt know why the roses grow
Then I wouldnt know why the roses grow...
(Spoken) Now listen, honey child,
If I didnt know all them
little things Im supposed
to know
Then I sure would be a SAD man
If I didnt know...

Money we really dont need it,
We make out alright
Lettin the other guy feed that
Jukebox Saturday night!

I cant seem to face up to the facts
Im tense and nervous and i
Cant relax
I cant sleep cause my beds on fire
Dont touch me Im a real live wire

Psycho killer
Quest que cest
Fa fa fa fa fa fa fa fa fa far better
Run run run run run run run away
Psycho killer
Quest que cest
Fa fa fa fa fa fa fa fa fa far better
Run run run run run run run away

You start a conversation you cant even finish it.
Youre talkin a lot, but youre not sayin anything.
When I have nothing to say, my lips are sealed.
Say something once, why say it again?

Psycho killer,
Quest que cest
Fa fa fa fa fa fa fa fa fa far better
Run run run run run run run away
Psycho killer
Quest que cest
Fa fa fa fa fa fa fa fa fa far better
Run run run run run run run away

(* spoken interlude in french *)

Psycho killer,
Quest que cest
Fa fa fa fa fa fa fa fa fa far better
Run run run run run run run away
Psycho killer,
Quest que cest
Fa fa fa fa fa fa fa fa fa far better
Run run run run run run run away

Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh....

Haha.

well, I'm "fixed", so if I end up pregnant we'll both be in the shower in the fetal position.

Be careful. All women do, then our romantic interlude always ends with them pregnant and me in the shower in the fetal position.

What the hell? What's up with the apple baseball bat interlude? I had to mute the audio to this sift to make it upvotable.

He wasted more than half that apple... well maybe there was a worm in it or something.

"I got a rock".

Awesome.

I love how absolutely random the Snoopy *military interlude is.
