Ah, Animal House! One of the great classics of all time. Not surprising
you have "salty" taste.
Regarding your film-perusing habits, ya know what it is? Human brains
are more developed and thus capable of absorbing subtle data they might
have missed the first time or reliving a sublime experience stimulated by
an especially meaningful cinematic scene. Sharks, on the other hand, are
rather blunt and tend to be less interested in things they can't eat.

Well, did you like it? It's considered a classic by most critics.

Er, true. Furthermore, there's *some* people, even right here on this
newsgroup, that wouldn't look good standing next to an unpainted pig pen.
Have you ever thought of going to Australia for lunch?
