    Now, have to just figure somebody out for Red Stateler...Haven't seen too much of him lately :suss: Speaking of Danny DeVito, have you ever seen Drowning Mona[^]? At first I thought it would be weird, but it is funny dark comedy.

    Warwick Davis can do a cameo as Adnan. . .

    Nope, but that's a helluva cast - almost as good as the one for "Soapbox - the Movie!"

      It was a good one, and I strongly recommend renting ( buying is advised ) it. There are countless good one-liners that could be used around here :laugh:

          Don't you ever get tired of doing the crap that gets you banned? Are you dead set to prove you are a despicable idiot unworthy of association with any others here?

          Not that hard to prove by looking at his attitude around here.

              Given your replies to the OP, I think it was pretty clear you took the bait. It's also pretty clear that you lack the grace or maturity to admit you were had.

                If someone wrote Ilion as a character in the movies, he'd have to be played by Pee Wee Herman. You and I, on the other hand would be played by Brad Pitt and George Clooney. Stan would be portrayed by Foghorn Leghorn and Heize would be portrayed by Andy Dick.

                  That really is all you say, isn't it? Over and over again, you call people making simple straightforward and extremely accurate statements, liars and stupid - because you just can't come up with anything else. You think you have made a post when you stick a link up to someone who has something to say; and you think you have provided a rebuttal by hurling two pathetic little insults at whoever has expressed their disdain most recently.

                        I hate to waste that much talent on a opera buffo character like Ilion, but you could be right. Pierce could flaunt all of Ilion's failings and make them comic on a level Pee Wee isn't able to reach

                          Why, exactly, is CSS' "joke" about "digtial man" so despicable, while your "jokes" about me are on the money? Really, now! This "family" double-standard just won't hold up in the real world.

                                  But, of course. It's that double-standard, again.

                                    I'm thinking David Hyde Pierce, the guy that played Niles on "Frasier", would be better for Ilion. He'd have to girl up a bit, but I think he could pull it off.

                                    I hate to waste that much talent on a opera buffo character like Ilion, but you could be right. Pierce could flaunt all of Ilion's failings and make them comic on a level Pee Wee isn't able to reach

                                    Yeah. If only Larry Craig could act. When I see the tape of him calling Clinton a "nasty, bad, naughty boy", I think he and Ilion must be related in some way.
