It was a little nauseating really: "Brad had a big gun and I said, 'I want a big gun too.'"

Part of it was the send-up of DINKS (double income no-kids) consumptive lifestyle. I mean these guys not only have the latest kitchenware and home entertainment systems but they blow them up! And where is their last stand? Not Bolivia like Butch and Sundance. Not the Alamo like whoever was in that stupid flick (hey, that was ex-Angilina, wasn't it). Their last stand is in Walmart. :-)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9843055.post-1143122156810062792006-03-23T08:55:00.000-05:002006-03-23T08:55:00.000-05:00John, come back.
