I'm a goin' to HE-double toothpicks

"He had a toughness about him, and his five grand Savile Row suit did little to hide the fact that he worked out regularly. He looked like someone who could've gone either way, the mob or something legitimate, and somehow ended up in the middle as a lawyer."
― Dave Zeltserman, Pariah
 
Overheard my wife's friend tell my wife that she had started to read "The Exorcist" but couldn't finish it. Thought it was the most evil book she had ever read. Threw the book in a water filled ditch while bicycle ridng.
I went to the book store-bought a copy of the book.
Put it in a bucket of muddy water.
Dug the book out the next day.
Went to her house-left the book on her back porch table for her to find when she comes outside for her morning coffee.
We'll see how it goes :D

Shame on you. I saw the movie in the 70's in college with a frat brother who was an AAU boxer. Halfway thru he couldn't take anymore and walked out. He stumbled and fell near the door and finished by CRAWLING out, he was so anxious to get out.

I was a runner and the movie broke me of running late at night until this century.

It remains the scariest movie I ever saw because I gave up on scary movies involving Satan afterwards. I don't have a problem with scary space aliens or fantasy, middle ages stuff with dragons and demons. Guess I should become an atheist to enlarge my scary movie repertoir. Bill S
 
Hope your prank works, I remember how much the movie scared my date when it came out. It worked. I have only good memories of the Exorcist.
 
That is a good one Caj. I bet it took you all of two seconds to think that one up after hearing her talk about it. Pretty funny. Did you tell the wife though? This sounds like something I would do. I will remember this trick in case I need it later.

BTW- When I read the topic I immediately thought of the dancing Badgers and thought "Yep I bet he is". That was bad, very bad.
 
Canjunlawyer, you have wicked sense of humor! That would freak me out so badly I would probably loose sleep for nights! I watched a documentary about the family the book was based on. I forget what it was exactly but 333 had some meaning. After I got scared from watching it, I woke up every night for a year at 3:33 exactly. I'm so glad I finally got it out of my mind!
 
The only part that REALLY scared me.....

The movie 'bothered me' more than scared me and slasher, blood stuff doesn't phase me, it was more the aspect that this evil thing was perceived to be REAL and lurking around us. Anyway:

In the opening the priest is facing a statue from an archeological dig and the story goes back stateside and there is ominous music, like he knows that the statue represents evil.

Later in the movie during the exorcism, smoke starts rising around the bed and there is that statue and I just pointed and went:

'I-YI--YI--YI--YI--YI--YI--YI--YI--YI........"
 
Of course you're going to the Warm Place. You sit on the wrong side of the courtroom.
 
As stated by the psychopath Francis Wolcott in "Deadwood": "I am a sinner, surely bound for hell and do not expect forgiveness; but,..I am no government official" !

You'll be alright caj. You wouldn't wanna be somewhere up on those golden clouds with nobody you know would you ?
 
I enjoy playing pranks on my wife's friends.

Several years ago, my wife was visiting her friend Ardene. I need to tell my wife something so I called Ardene's house. When she answered the phone, I waited a bit, then I started breathing heavily into the phone. There was a long pause and then I said "Hi Ardene". She then called me a nasty name.

A couple of weeks went by and my phone rang. I answered it and there was heavy breathing on the other end. I said "Hi Ardene". She again called me a nasty name.
 
Some years back an unattached friend of my wife moved into a house east of US1 not far away. A hurricane was approaching and the Mrs. asked me if I could help the gal with house prep. I called her and in my best cracker Baptist voice told her I was with All Broward Button Up and was contacting the young, single ladies around town to inquire about tucking them in for the coming storm.

The phone was slammed down and I was unable contact her for some time. My wife finally let her know what happened and the both of them were not happy.
