Mr. Steak, great commentary and oh how true it is. And yes, sadly, I am one of the bunch. You should show up for our 4 a.m. astronomy discussion group. We know exactly when the space station will be visible overhead and discuss it's flight path and speed. We are also experts on tracking sattelites and other phenomenon. Murphy, Dingo and Puttzle are amazing scientists, but I though you knew that already.
p.s. I also sing Ethel Merman show tunes for the boys.
Finally, a review of Surfwise by someone who actually saw the movie atEsquire Magazine:
. . . the octogenarian dude we see in the opening scenes, riding an exercise bike naked and rambling about how his life changed when he finally learned how to eat pussy. This aggressively eccentric coot is Dorian “Doc” Paskowitz . . .
nine children . . .
Nobody went to school or was in any way homeschooled; the kids were raised almost oblivious to everything except the pleasure of the moment.
. . . an examination of ruined lives and that many of Doc’s offspring now view the family’s protohippie lifestyle as a singular form of child abuse -- one that permanently impaired their ability to function in everyday society, since all they know how to do is eat macrobiotic food, sleep four to a bed, and surf.
In actuality, we gradually learn, he could be a violent, mood-swinging disciplinarian and publicity hound whose notions of loyalty were better suited to military than family life. His insistence that the kids be kept isolated from the standard social norms he had rejected only in adulthood -- proper schooling, peer exposure, stable community -- left them poorly equipped to handle the world when each finally, painfully, broke away. The junior Paskowitzes then discovered they had no practical training, no college-qualifying education, no experience with the simplest financial self-preservation.
Please see the moive. The children need the money.
First, you surf wonder children have an international film done on you abd your wonderful family. Keeping that in mind, when are they doing a full length about you? Never, that's correct, never. Doc loves his daily surf at San Onofre. Alright, they don't have a book about you, they don't have a full length movie about you and or your family. Does "All for a few perfect waves" ring a bell. I know Surfwise does, doesn't it?
They make movies about Charles Manson and Jeffrey Dalhmer and Ted Bundy and The Boston Strangler and Lizzy Borden and The Zodiac Killer, to name a few.
But don't get me wrong. 'Ol Doc's film is different. It would be like comparing apples and oranges. People actucally go to see those other movies.

'Still Drinking', a non-partisan viewer describebed 'Surfwise' better, in his opinion, Dogtown.
Why are all you 'nothings' envious and/or jealous of Surfwise the saga of Doc Paskowitz. What'r you waiting for the C.Moore story.

A great commentary is merely calling a spade a spade.

Who knew that you played the bongo drums?

The only one who knew I played the bongo was Preston Epps. I know you remember him, don't you?
