V...Is For Vendetta

My son G

G loves V for Vendetta...don't know why, but he does.  I've never seen the movie because it just doesn't seem like my kind of film.  The books he is holding are not related to the movie but are books he wanted for his 18th Birthday.

Maybe I should just watch it and see what all the hype is about.  It is about a shadowy freedom fighter known only as "V" who uses terrorist tactics to fight against the totalitarian society.  When "V" rescues a girl from the secret police, he finds his best chance at having an ally. "V" is rated R and is 132 minutes in length, stars Hugo Weaving, Natalie Portman, and Rupert Graves. Enjoy!

I believe in the sun even when it is not shining. I believe in love even when I feel it not. I believe in God even when He is silent. *Written on a wall in a concentration camp*

Very Tongue Twisty

Do you remember these things? I had fun as a child trying to say these as fast as I could without tying my tongue in knots. I thought this would be a Very fun post, so have fun going down memory lane.  I challenge you to try saying each one as fast as you can. but watch out, don't twist up your tongue. 

How much wood would a woodchuck chuck
if a woodchuck could chuck wood?
He would chuck, he would, as much as he could,
and chuck as much wood as a woodchuck would
if a woodchuck could chuck wood.

Peter Piper picked a peck of pickled peppers.
A peck of pickled peppers Peter Piper picked.
If Peter Piper picked a peck of pickled peppers,
where's the peck of pickled peppers Peter Piper picked?


Sally sells seashells by the seashore.
The shells Sally sells are surely from the sea.


Swan swan over the sea,
Swim, swan, swim;
Swan swam back again,
Well swum, swan.


A sailor went to sea
To see, what he could see.
And all he could see
Was sea, sea, sea.


The fishy fish

Went swishy swish swish

As it swam along the shore

It had two baby fishes,

That would fit in two dishes

And who could ask for more?

How many boards

Could the Mongols hoard

If the Mongol hordes got bored?


A tutor who tooted the flute
Tried to tutor two tooters to toot
Said the two to the tutor
"Is it tougher to toot
Or to tutor two tooters to toot?"

Now go on over to Tossing it out and have a great weekend ya'll.
