Here is what I don’t get.
Most of us have seen Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, right. Synopsis: Poor boy from poor family dreams of winning one of five golden tickets, where he would get a visit to a mysterious chocolate factory and a year's worth of chocolate (or was that a lifetime supply).
He works hard "throwing newspapers" to give money to his family. His mother washes clothes for the family, and here we have the four grandparents, sharing a bed, and not contributing at all.
Ol' Uncle Joe has been in bed for 20 years, apparently crippled. Then Charlie gets a winning ticket, asks Uncle Joe (his favorite) to go with him, and he gets out of the freakin' bed. Does this make any sense?
I wanted to write more, and about something else, this morning, but I am spent. Just don't compare me to a used condom (spent, belongs around a penis).

3. My Stories. Yeah, I have a few erotic stories here. I know, they are not all that good, but they were fun to write. Don't read them if this offends you (and they represent less than 1% of the content here). These stories have elements of truth and fantasy, some more true than others. Complain about something that is a bit more substantive if you must complain. I have lots of faults.

Yeah, I hate it when people compare me to used condoms too.
Ok this has always been one of my favorte movies. Don't tell my homies though they might think I'm soft. Anyway it has always bothered me that Uncle Joe was in the bed for 20 years, his daughter has to take care of him and the other 3 grandparents by washing clothes and what not, and there's barely any food in the house. Oh but when young Charlie gets that Golden Ticket not only does ganpa Joe get out of the bed but he's jumping and dancing! Couldn't he have been working somewhere?! This shouldn
t bother me as much as it does but I'm glad someone else in the world is as nutty as I am. Great post L-Boogie!
Joe was a lazy bum Canadian Rose and he probably smelled terrible afer laying there for all those years! I get your point but he still irritates me...:)
kathi: how often do people compare you to used condoms? Just wondering.
ddot: I love the dance numbers with the umpa-loompas.
CR: Uncle Joe did believe in Charlie when everyone else was just laughing at him. After I posted, I sort of thought about that.
mark: thanks, sweetie!
Yeah but the spoiled brat blowing up like an oversized blueberry makes the whole movie worthwhile.
Ah, the everlasting gob stopper. What we wouldn't all give for one.
