That reminds me, sorry about my friend calling you a "black nicca" last night. He was pretty fucked up too.

Unless you don't care, that is.

Poor Zodiac...

And that Fear & Loathing picture is fucking hilarious.

Pfft, that dude sounded like an asshole. But I didn't want to give him the satisfaction of pissing me off, so I played it cool. Plus I was driving lol

The Miles Trahan Burger Experiment · « **Reply #19 on:** March 10, 2007, 10:15:10 PM »

True.

Phoenix Dark · « **Reply #20 on:** March 10, 2007, 10:21:06 PM »

Is he really 25? I assume he drives you around if he is lol

The Miles Trahan Burger Experiment · « **Reply #21 on:** March 10, 2007, 10:22:35 PM »

No, he's my age. He was just tripping on liquid confidence. Its why all our other friends ditched us; I couldn't leave him, though, because I had to work with him today anyway.

Updated with weekend estimates. There are two odd things about these numbers. One, 300 had a budget of just $65 million, which means Warner Bros. executives should be tap dancing for joy right about now. Two, there were suspicious inconsistencies, where family movies leapfrogged on the charts. This is probably the first time I've seen other movies directly benefiting from another's R-rating.
