I’m not gonna bury the lead on this one… I loved it.
Really really loved it.

Having seen all of Mr. Smith’s earlier movies, and thoroughly enjoyed each and every one of them, all of them being dialogue heavy comedies. This one really really surprised me.

John Goodman, Kyle Gallner and of course Kevin Pollack were excellent to say the least.

Michael Parks is worth mentioning on his own, since his portrayal Abin Cooper, a fire and brimstone preacher, is with such vigor that I was almost tempted to join in on a hallelujah or two. The voice and manner of the character is nothing short of terrifying, and inspiring in one way. Guess that’s part of what makes him scary

Ralph Garman, whom I love; and I would go so far as to say I might even have a bit of a man crush on him; portrays Caleb. If you are a fan of “Hollywood Babble-On”, you know he is an extremely funny and entertaining guy who’ll have you laughing until you wet yourself. As Caleb, he is just plain scary as all hell. A truly respectable presence

Part of the plot (copypasta from Wikipedia): On the way to school, Travis (Michael Angarano) notices members of the Five Points Church, led by Abin Cooper (Michael Parks). protesting the funeral of a local homosexual teenager. Later, Jared (Kyle Gallner) reveals he received an invitation from a woman he met on a sex site for group sex with himself, Travis and Billy Ray (Nicholas Braun). They borrow Travis’ parent’s car and travel out into the country to meet with the woman. There on out the movie takes a nice turn into scary-ville…

I really don’t have the words to describe what goes on in this movie, so I’m just gonna give you the trailer instead.

Kevin Smith really rocked it this time :-)

Recommended if you are looking for a truly kick ass flick :-)

So…. I got my scooter moped thingy.. finally….

I pictured riding this thing would be the very definition of freedom and a joyous experience through and through…

Turns out I was about as wrong as I could get… Ok, it’s a bit fun. And admittedly it’s useful… in fact, there’s no doubt that it is useful.
The only thing I have a slight qualm with it is that it is also a horrendously fucking terrifying experience as well. Riding this thing makes you the smallest participant in a never ending, always moving, beast comprised of several roaring 2 ton monsters, we so lovingly call: Traffic. Roundabouts are the worst. Fucking nightmares. Luckily, Mo i Rana only have about a million of these fucking things.

Ok.. this is me a bit panicky… a bit.. heh…. I was just so unprepared for how scary it would be… But on the good side.. I’m already getting used to this thing… It’s gonna take a while until I comfortable… But oh well.. I have been whining about having on of these for years now… so I guess I’ll just shut up…

Btw.. picture!

It has been on my to do list for a couple of years now. A moped… the scooter kind. You know.. those that kinda look like a Vespa, but is faaaar cheaper.
I want me one of those.

So this weekend I spent some time online to see if I could get one of these babies seccond hand, but no one is selling in my immediate area, and I don’t have the transportation required to get my sorry ass all the way over to where ever that place might have been. Also… If I were to get there, how would I get that baby home? Geography is against me here. Mo i Rana is practically isolated from the other “towns” that could have supplied med with what I want. And if I were to have to drive the moped home, well… by Norwegian Law, these things aren’t allowed to go faster than 50 kilometers an hour… or was it 45? Not sure. Anyways… The solution is to shop locally.

And “Jula”, a store that has everything…. name it they got… invent it on the spot, and they have had it for ages… Jula sell these awesome looking Vespa-like cheap mopeds. So I browsed their webpage and found the one I liked. Though they had no helmets that fit me… and honestly.. they looked a bit… shit.

And in came Biltema, another store very similar to Jula. They have helmets! They have good looking helmets that are my size as well… YAY! So my brother and I went to Biltema and found the perfect helmet.

Ye olde head bucket!

And I found these awesome looking Motorcycle goggles.

Badass looking goggles!

This was shaping up to be a day of awesomeness :-D

Then we headed over to Jula for the actual bike… Which was sold out… and they were at least a good month away from getting new ones…. Fuck…. My brother, a man not deterred by such trifles as not having things in stock swiftly took me home and gave me an alternate solution. For the time being anyways… So… my solution is….

Hardcore non motorized vehicle for real men.

What a hilarious brother I have…

Yep… no joke… it’s… mine…
I guess I’ll have to sport the goggles in a vain attempt at passing for cool or something.

My day = fail.

So to cheer me up.. here’s a guy with a condom on his head.

Mr. Condom of Mo i Rana

So when you see me biking along on my… thing…. words of encouragement, and cheering me on… Greatly appreciated…
Or better yet… If you have, or know someone wanting to sell their moped…
Leave me a message…

And now… I’m going to put on my helmet, crawl up in a fetal position and cry for a while….
Bye…
