At the movies!
August 24th, 2006
I saw Snakes in Planes last night and while I can’t say that the movie itself was very funny, I sure felt funny watching it, as if I was helping the rest of the internet’s hype-mongerers tell a really great punchline for a HUGE joke. Like now I could finally tell one of my good snobby intellectual friends that I just saw Snakes on that Plane and they would roll their eyes and sigh and say, “Oh my god. Are you serious?” And I could just smile proudly and say, “Yeah, I can’t believe it!”
And maybe I would slap my forehead and stick my tongue out and then we would both have a knowing laugh together and feel way smart and hip.
Then my friend would drop his thick book that he was reading (that’s not on any bestseller list because he’s too non-commercial for that) and when he would bend down to pick it up, I would make a fart sound and he would get confused and think he really farted and then we’d laugh even more and I’d slip on a banana peel and then I’d start farting little squeaker farts and we’d start howling with laughter until security would ask us to leave and stop disturbing the library’s periodical department even though nobody goes in there anymore.
So we’d leave the library and pass a poster for Planes with Snakes on Them: Part 2 and we’d both stop and say, “You’ve got to be kidding me!” But nope, nobody would be kidding us and we’d shit our pants and then we’d be in some real trouble!
