    No Value? 

    Play Town Money

    We got this money when went to see The Citizen’s Band at the Highline. It says it isn’t legal tender but I reckon you could use it in Playtown to buy toys if you were under a certain age.

    State of the Union 

    USA Test

    I tried to do this quiz on Boston.com, Could you pass the US citizenship test? Oh brother :(

    Q: How many changes, or amendments, to the Constitution are there?
    A: 6?????

    Q: What is the Bill of Rights?
    A: A Bill that gives you… Rights?

    Q: Who becomes president if both the president and vice president die?
    A: The Captain of America?

    Q: Who is Chief Justice of the Supreme Court?
    A: That Lady?

    Gives up here.

    Then I found out that “Canadian” was being used a racist term and then I thought they should use it as a term for someone who is a USA-know-nothing. Then I thought, “Hey ! I’m Canadian.” Then I thought, “Ideal!”

    Cowboy Movie Roundup! 

    Well it would seem that the last few years have seen a resurgence in the cowboy movie genre. We spent Saturday watching 3 of the top rated cowboy type films.

    Film 1: 3.10 to Yuma

    A nice, almost spaghetti style. western that owes a lot to Once upon a Time in the West. The central relationship between Christian Bale and Russell Crowe was a bit forced but nonetheless it was watchable. Personally, I liked that fact that even though they seemed to fall in love they didn’t do anything about it.

    Russell from Six Feet Under was great as the murderous lieutenant Charlie Prince. He gets “Best in Show”.

    Film 2: No Country for Old Men

    A guy with a crazy haircut embodies a sort of millennial evil all over the south west. There’s missing money, a Marlboro Man and Sherriff Tommy Lee Jones. Based upon the Cormac McCarthy book of the same name it plots the familiar, bleak landscape of many of his other works of border fiction. You know, guys what don’t talk much, doing murder and such, doomed from the start.

    It ends with a heartbreaking rumination on mortality.

    Film 3: Brokeback Mountain

    It’s a cowboys in love movie. As above, it ends with a heartbreaking rumination on mortality

      Have you seen The Proposition? I think 3:10 To Yuma owes a lot to it.

      Have not seen! Was supposed to see but did not. Add to Netflix queue at once.

      As you may know it was written by Nick Cave. Has taken the place of The Unforgiven for me. Highly recommended. Enjoy!

    Mild Bill Clinton 

    Mild Bill Clinton

    I found this sticker portrait of Bill Clinton in the Village. The “No. 42″ refers to the fact that he was the 42nd President of the United States. Which makes me wonder if there are other Presidential portrait stickers around town. It also makes me wonder if they all look as mild and ever-so-slightly depressed.

    Duck on Duck (but no cake) 

    Duck on Duck (but no cake) by Adam Cavill

    See these nice ducks that live in our house? The small one is saying. “DON”T WORRY DUDE, I GOT YOUR BACK.”

    With apologies to MIGMERG.

      Well, there is definitely the chance that the cake got squashed between the bottom of the little duck and the top of the other one so you can’t see it. Also, don’t rule out the possibility of cakes too small to be seen by the naked eye.

      Also that little duck has his mouth opened and what appears to be smudgy brown icing on the front of him….
