139) Bruce Marshall and SBD in "What is the Worst Job in Hollywood?" SBD was thisclose to throwing El Bruco into the f_cking gulag for "thought crime." LOL!
Bruce Marshall: "I would say casting supervisor.
It used to be you tried to cast the actors who are most suited to the role and the film. Now, you have a chart on the wall with little boxes for every ethnic group, race, religion, sexual orientation, age etc. that need to be checked off before filming begins!
The CSA have been victims of a hostile takeover by The Diversity Mafia! brm
p.s. I am all for diversity, but filmmakers/artists should be allowed to cast who they want. With no outside interference."
SBD: "If this is a serious post, I'd like to think that you're somewhat aware of Tinseltown's rich and shameful history of casting everything from Asians to African-Americans to Indians (dot and feather) with White people and that this 'hostile takeover by the Diversity Mafia' is more a balancing of the scales.
If this is a joke post (and how could it not be?)...dude, you really had me going."
140) Graham Watt (yet again) in the now hallowed "Do You Have a Beard?" Funny how my newly enthusiastic enthusiasm for my own facial hair makes Graham's posts even more amusing than usual.
Graham Watt: "Thanks to the resurrection of this thread, I've just learned - by going through the initial flurry of posts - that my beard shall be celebrating its second birthday on July 14. I'm kind of at odds as to how to celebrate... but anyway, HAPPY BIRTHDAY BEARD ON THE 14th (if you're reading this)."
Jim Phelps: "Happy birthday, Graham's beard!
Graham Watt: "We're feckin' SWIMMIN' in champagne here, man! Beard's gone all soggy, but what the hell, life's great. Cocktails in the pool, and the maid's got her tiny little swimmin' costume on - Jeezo, ah cannae take it mon! By the way Jimbo lad, my little old beard has just asked me (in an unusual "pipsqueak" voice - never heard it talk before... funny that), "Hey daddy, tell Jim I say thanks for remembering my birthday!!!", so there you go. From my beard to you, thanks Jim."
Jim Phelps: "Thanks for sending over the film of the pool party!"
141) Steve Vertlieb in "Dracula in the Seventies: Prints of Darkness", in which the esteemed Mr. Vertlieb eloquently and passionately discusses his experience at having his work tampered with by editors...and proceeds to do so in one loooooooooooooong, unbroken paragraph.

Personally, jackfu, im aiming for a nomination for a favourite post ...that was never posted. Quite an achievement.
The closest i came was being slagged off by minus dubya dickhead for a post that TG made!! Pretty smooth huh?
Quite d*mnend magnanimous of you, I'd say! "Keep(ing) your head while others are losing theirs and blaming it on you" is an admirable quality!
Bill's story reminds me of an episode of The Persuaders!--as do all things--when Danny Wilde kept getting the physical abuse intended for Lord Brett Sinclair.
