Tell us a little about 'the package', sounds hilarious.

It's funny, I'd have figured you were here then...it's actually pretty amazing how many years this place has been around.

It was basically a package of random items. DVDs, some movie/tv related stuff, some little toys, collectables and posters etc.
The idea, if I recall correctly was to take out an item or two, put in an item or two, so this package would be sent between members and people would kind of get stuff, give stuff.
I live in Australia and I don't think it ever made its was over/near here.
Not entirely sure where/why the wheels came off...it was successful for a little bit, and then there were delays in sending, and I guess eventually someone just said "fuck it".

It was a decent idea.

No the guy I’m thinking of was named Festus or something like that. I remember The Return but don’t recall anything like that happening with him. Could be wrong though.

Yes I believe Gore delayed it for a time then I too also delayed it for some time. I did send but don’t remember to who and I don’t remember who had it last.

I remember that name, or something similar...not sure bout the incident though, but with me, I dunno, if I wasn't involved it's like remembering an advertisement I drove by a while ago.

So I got my gym programme today.
Seems easy enough. Time to adhere.

Has anyone seen that new Snickers commercial with Elton John? Is it just me or is that totally homophobic? I mean the message they are giving off is when a rapper gets hungry he becomes Elton John singing "don't go breaking my heart" and his friend next to him tells him to eat a Snickers because he gets weird when he's hungry. So the rapper eats the Snickers and then starts rapping about women. To me that is more or less telling the guy he acts gay when he is hungry and they are saying it in a negative way as if it is an insult. Maybe I am just overthinking it but I'm surprised with all the shit going on over at Gillette commercial, no one else has seemed to notice this about the Snickers commercial. I assume Elton John had no problem with it but still...

So it would be a box of horror film related stuff that HDC members would mail to each other, take something and add something. That is a nifty idea.

And the other was one particular member who thought we were all out to get him and even went to different message boards telling people that.

So I get the package concept. What was fiasco, just someone not sending it along, or some interesting things in the box?

Cool, you doing the morning or 'after work' program? From experience, if you can really notch it into a schedule you don't give yourself an option, then it works well.

Like I took my walking shoes, and clothes/coat, to work with me, and went straight from work to walk. If I stopped at home first... there would be problems...

Yes! That was exactly my impression as well. Not sure what Elton's take on the commercial was... I assumed he was cool with kidding around with it.

Just looked at the Gillette commercial. I don't get why anyone would have a problem with it. Stop a fight, or bullying attack, or sexual harassment attack, that's what a good men would do, nothing strange about that. I just assume some agent provocateurs will use it to get some media exposure.

There was one part that was odd, or poorly shot... where a chic in tight clothes walks by on the sidewalk and a dude started to walk off to go talk to her, and another dude blocks him and says, "Bro, not cool, not cool". I don't know why it would be wrong to meet a lady on the sidewalk... I assume the writer or director meant to show a guy, stopping another guy harassing a lady on the street, but they didn't get to that... such as showing the guy catcall obscenities, or go up to her ask something obscene, or brab at her. Too bad they screwed up that part... unless I'm missing something?

Never thought it was a gay thing at all. Just that their music styles are so different and the rapper is not acting like himself. The gillette commercial...i coundnt figure out what the heck they were talking about.
