    yeah, there are oodles of Hughes tribute posts everywhere and i think almost all my facebook pals did the "what john hughes character are you" poll. But one of my favorites is the woman who did a post about being John Hughes penpal. It's totally sweet:

    Not ironic. Coincidental. Coincidental. Just like meeting the man of your dreams, then meeting his beautiful wife.

    Long Duk Dong.
    Thanks. I forgot why I disliked that movie, which I found barely watchable. That character was a racist caricature set in a trivial portrait of upper middle class white family life.

    @1.1.1.: I think this is a totally valid response, and I can't argue with it. Nonetheless, I liked that movie, I guess because I identified with the Molly Ringwald character. I winced at the awful caricature of the Gedde Watanabe role, and wished I could fully hate the movie for it, and felt as if I should, but I didn't.

    Excellent digging. Hot diggety digging (wow that's annoying). But did he and Molly Ringwald hook up??
    Btw, now the targeted facebook ads are going to try to sell me backhoes. We talk about Vodka on here, they sell me vodka. We talk about Kathy Götterdämmerung Griffin, and now they want me to buy her book. How are they doing this? Traditionally you fuck with people and sell them things with the help of tracking cookies, but my pc don't have any. How is secret gawker blathering being used to sell me shit on facebook? (No coincidence... it's happened far too many times)

    @Uncle_Billy_Slumming: It's just coincidence.
    Oh, hey, do you need a backhoe? I just happen to be selling one on Ebay, just now...
