Trying to spot your kid at a swim meet is like trying to find one particular goose in a flock of geese.

    There was an episode of QI where Alan talked about going to Olympic swimming events.

    "You see these dots going up and down, you can't tell who's who, who's ahead, it's rubbish.  200 quid."

    Usually I can pick my kid or kids out in a crowd, "the little Swedish ones." Then I go to Sweden and I'm standing in a playground or wherever, anywhere full of kids, and it's totally oh fuck.

    Yeah, I look for the palest goose. Swim caps mean I can't pick out her hair like usual.

Hit Me with your Horror

Originally shared by Andrew “Incomitatum” Chason Hit Me with your Horror I am looking for some horror flicks. The newer the better. Good is good too. I liked House of 1000 Corpses and Devil's Rejects . I liked both the new Texas Chainsaw movies. Hills Have Eyes 1 was good (never saw the second . Jeepers Creepers 1 & 2 come to mind as well. A little camp, and/or "back woods" can't hurt. Any of you have any recommendations? Lets try and not go too far back than mid 90's. Aside: How was the new "Freddy" movie? Suggested So Far • Bones (2001) • Drag Me to Hell (2009) • The Grudge (2004) • Don't Be Afraid of the Dark (2010) • Dog Soldiers (2002) • The Decent (2005) • Creature (2011) • The Last Winter (2006)
