Commentary track for the previous post
Apr. 13th, 2008 02:53 am"Although, I like the pop culture reference of an Alien movie, did you have to say "one of the early ones"? I mean, there's only been four. Couldn't you have just said "an Alien movie?" Or even chosen a specific one?"
"Sure, I could even have gone with "watching Aliens", but we actual had a talk about the series in my LJ a few days ago and I just thought it might take us back over recently travelled ground. Plus, someone could have thought I was talking about, say, one of the the Alien Vs Predator movies."
"I don't know that there's a lot of Bitter Guide readers who would make that mistake."
"No, but you only need one, right?"
"True. Now, the raccoons were actually trying to get into your compost box, wasn't it?"
"No, it was the trash. We have weekly compost pickup now, but trash is bi-weekly, so there's a week and a bit of garbage out there. Admittedly, with the tasty stuff having gone out in the compost yesterday, I'm not sure what's in there that they'll find too appealing."
"I particularly enjoy your use of "poo" instead of, say, shit."
"Yeah, I thought saying shit would just be too dirty for the light hearted affect I was going for, as well, shit smells, as a word. It has different evocations for me than poo does."
"True, true. Now, no jokes about late night commercials?"
"Fuck, no. Is there any humour left in jokes about chat phone lines and ashley-madison?"
