Got this e.mail from a friend this morning and thought I'd share this extract from it with you all!! "OK, I will admit that being one of the small group of perfect husbands in the world is not always easy. But I always try my best. However, yesterday I happened to make one of the biggest mistakes of my married life! I took - correction, I was dragged to the cinema by Elke to watch a film that she has wanted to see for weeks! I knew I was in for big trouble since all her friends (remember these are grown women) have been swooning and giggling about this film the whole month of August! It has even been a topic of discussion with some of my mates at the local Pub. When I asked those who had already been dragged to see the film by their wives "so what is the film really like"? I was met with a wall of silence. I have never seen such pain and anguish on grown men's faces. I didn't take too long before the first one croaked "did you have to bring that up" It's very uncomfortable to sit in a bar with friends when two of them are openly sobbing into their beer. So for the past weeks I have been feigning bad neck, bad back, ingrown toenail, gotta stack the wood again & hernia with complete success Yesterday I simply ran out of plausible excuses. I thought to myself, it can't really be that bad? I'm not like my wimpy friends, I'm British damm it! Stiff upper lip what oh! So I said to Elke "sure honey lets go to the cinema - I'll even reserve the best seats in the cinema via internet" - well perfect husbands to things like that - right? I knew I had made a capital mistake when we entered the cinema complex. It was 1540pm on a Sunday afternoon - and I was surrounded by 200 giggling, chatty females! In panic my eyes scanned the complete cinema to try and find other males who had also agreed to be put through a torture worse than death, you know - it that male strength in numbers thing... I found 6! 6! Three of them had those big large 'it wasn't me that peed in the corner' puppy eyes, one refused to lift his head from his knees and the other two simply refused to accept the fact they even belonged on the planet! I fought my way through the gaggling geese colony - paid for the tickets, and prayed openly and loud that the lights would go down - now! Two hours later - numb, in fact, totally devoid of any feelings in my body I was released from my torture - I felt like I had my soul sucked out of my body by a group of dementors! Elke was ecstatic! She kept humming the film tunes all the way home in the car. Even today - almost 24 hours after the fact she can't stop swooning about Pierre Brosnans body - and oh by the way - maybe it's time that I started to seriously look in the mirror, cos my tummy isn't as flat as his, and my beard isn't as sexy as his, and Oh my God - did you look deeply into his gorgeous eyes... NO - I don't look deeply into any men's eyes!. Gee, that's all I need!! So men, take heed. If your OH says to you "honey, let's go to the cinema" the answer is.... No! Oh, almost forgot -the name of the film... MAMMA MIA!" I just couldn't stop laughing imaging Ray's face!! I hope he gets over the trauma soon.
Ha Ha Ha!! In a way I can sympathize with the man, I couldn't handle Abba's song Mamma Mia let alone the movie. Pierce Bronsen, i can make an exception.
I actually like ABBA songs but sung by ABBA alone. It could be an interesting experiment to watch Mamma Mia, hmmm?
Personally I would rather watch Nathan Fillion in Serenity than Pierce Brosnan, so Randy is safe from Mamma Mia.
Oh, the poor man! I actually like ABBA's music, but as Frank said, sung by ABBA. I would like to see "Mamma Mia" since so many of my friends have seen it and want to see it again. I'm no big fan of Pierce Brosnan. I'm on the look-out for a new hero to replace Sean Connery, any tips? Scottish, good-looking male near or in the fourties.
Droopy, there is NO replacement for Sean Connery. Even at 78 he is a gorgeous specimen. I like ABBA's music too, the original music. I heard a while back that one of the groups singing their songs is comprised of their children.
I know, I know, but he's not going to be here forever, so I really need a back-up. Besides, both my mother and mother-in-law adores him, AND my oldest daughter, so I really need to find somebody soon.
Made me giggle Eileen. Mark and I don't get the chance to go to the flicks other than to see kids movies with the little horrors....last thing I saw was Alvin and the Chipmunks!! Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh, Sean Connery....he's mine, you hear!!
Do a google search for Zardoz. He made this movie after he quit making the James Bond movies and was trying to break away from that image. Actually he did do one more James Bond movie 9 years after Zardoz
