Non-Obits: Special Edition

 TS Hendrik
1983 – Last Week ?

There’s a pretty good chance that TS Hendrik has most likely died. Reports vary, but it is believed that his extended absence from the blogging world is a result of his untimely demise. At first there was an outlandish rumor that his internet was simply down, but after he repeatedly ignored numerous emails requesting that he confirm or deny this claim, the rumor was deemed bogus. The more likely explanation was that he had kicked the bucket. The first intimations that tragedy had struck were the worried whisperings of Sir Reginald Plumperdink, The Duchess Gary Cooper, and Melvin. But when there was no “7-Word Weekend Review” post, two Fridays in a row, suspicions were assumed confirmed. His desire was that his epitaph should read "He loved Love but Love loved another". He will be missed as long as he is missing.

 

 Karat
Dec. 27, 2011 – Jan. 27, 2012

Mr. Hendrik’s beloved goldfish, Karat, passed away yesterday afternoon. Many people fondly remember her from the post TS wrote about her, just one short month ago. Due to TS’s disappearance, no one was around to feed her, and she gave up her last pixel at around 12:30 pm. She is survived by the bacteria growing inside her bowl which, ironically, only exists because TS wasn't around to clean it.

MOVIES IN THREES: Saving Private Ryan

Telling a movie in only
3 pictures
3 quotes
3 statements

“Maybe not the captain, but the rest of us got mothers.”

Since 3 of the 4 Ryan brothers have been killed, the army doesn’t want the mother to get any sadder, so they’ll go looking for the last one.

“What's the use in risking the lives of the 8 of us to save one guy?”

Many bullets and shaky cameras later, they find him.

“He better be worth it. He better go home and cure a disease, or invent a longer-lasting light bulb.”

A bunch of people die, but Ryan gets home and grows old.

Fortune Cookie Fortune For The Week #3

What We Learned This Week At The Non-Review

Yes, I brought out the above banner again. I use it when I feels Rockin' Roll.

So what did we learn? 

I learned that Alex J. Cavanaugh, loves Top Gear ( Me too, I've been debating whether to include it in the British shows column) and that Chuck loves MI5 (Then you should definitely check out Luther, same guy is behind it).

I learned that I can write a review for 3 movies at once and be as manic as I like and instead of invective hurled at me, some of you actually enjoy a little madness now and again. 

Oh, and then this happened. I managed to capture the moment with careful watching that my odometer clicked over:

Okay you can't really see it unless you enlarge it. The gist of it is that I hit 100,000 views. Mind you, that only measures since blogger installed the analytics, which was about 8 months after I started TNR, and in reality I hit that number a long time ago. But that's neither here nor there. Point is, I've come this far and still kicking. 

I also learned that a man will do anything for a potato, though I already knew that thanks to Christian Bale. But hey, it's always good to remember such wisdom.
