The Apple Falls in Another Time Zone, and is an Orange

[strange_aeons]

I accidentally watched Sleepwalkers, a terrible and middling-old Stephen King movie, earlier today. (It ended about an hour ago. I was planning on putting just the first half-hour on so as to have some noise in the background, because there was something I intended to actually watch on at nine — or so I thought, but it turned out to be on at ten.) I remember watching it with my parents when I was much younger, and my father, when one of the characters stabbed another in the back with a cob of corn (I said it was a terrible movie), making a really offensive joke about cornholing. I didn't put together the 'offensive' bit until years later, when I figured out (a) what he meant by 'cornholing' and (b) that not everyone regards queers as just, you know — all of their favorite relatives. (Except for the diagnosed schizophrenic, but I have my suspicious about him.)

I also remember the relish with which he told me about his fear, when he was a kid, of homogenised milk — because the cartons were marked 'homo' and, I guess, he wasn't a very smart kid.

Heh. I wonder if he has any idea.

There are some really bad effects cuts in this episode of Angel. Who edited this thing? On the other hand, and I hadn't noticed this before, the guy who plays Holtz has one hell of a voice on him.
