hey, I read recently that Fargo was a fiction and that the disclaimer ("based on a true story") was a joke.
is it true / did someone know that? |

From Wikipedia;
"The film claims to be "based on a true story", but just how closely it adheres to true events is the subject of considerable debate and a lot of apparently deliberate fudging by the Coens. The apparent truth is that the story was inspired by a number of real events which occurred at different times and places. Despite this, many people believe the movie actually recounts a true story."
so it seems it is half true...

i love those guys..
more fun Coens trivia you probably know but if not:
they actually edit their their own films, themselves, under the fictitious name "Roderick Jaynes," who was nominated for the Academy Award for FARGO

I guess floop WAS right!

Einstein had a lot of great quotes. He could have been a fantastic social theorist if he so wanted. Though I certainly can't fault that which he did with his life. |

seemed to exactly sum up what was going on around me...."

Wachutalkinbout, Homers?
How can you not feel either way about Morrissey? More to the point,
how can you claim to be from Manchester, England and not
feel strongly either way about Morrissey?
Or are you just talking trash again?

floop, it's nice to wake up, after a wonderful night and have such a laugh like I'm having. Only you to do such a thing 
It takes a strength beyond strength to smile,

A American friend recently sent me hundreds of hilarious quotes. These ones are from David Lee Roth - I selected them because (I must confess) they made me laugh my ass off and also because they're rather little-known I think.
"I'm a family-oriented guy. I've personally started four or five this year already."
"Money can't buy you happiness, but it can buy you a yacht big enough to pull up right alongside it."
"I used to jog, but the ice cubes kept falling out of my glass."
"After all these years of bright lights, I still don't need glasses--I drink straight from the bottle."
"I used to have a drug problem, but now I make enough money so that it's not a problem anymore."

I think he's an asshole, but a clever one. At least he doesn't take himself too seriously.
