Horse hooves are a great sound. I wish I would have thought of that. I also share your hatred of that word. I'm fine with the c word, but hate that one.

What is your favorite word? Not sure what my favorite word is, but my favorite name is Felix.
What is your least favorite word? F*gg*t is one of them, I don't even like typing it. Such a hateful word.
What turns you on? Women with musical ability.
What turns you off? Creationism.
What sound or noise do you love? Crashing waves.
What sound or noise do you hate? People yelling.
What is your favorite curse word? Pooface, the most violent of curse words.
What profession other than your own would you like to attempt? My dream is to be a filmmaker ala Werner Herzog, traveling the world and making great cinema often in nature as well as ethnographic films.
What profession would you not like to do? Something with boring paperwork, I don't know.
If heaven exists, what would you like to hear God say when you arrive at the pearly gates? I like what Miss Vicky said. I want him to apologize to me.

I'll second this.

Crybabies. I like that word. I was going to say it's my favorite curse word, in fact. It's a powerful word. And it sounds so much better than "gay." Which is a word that people use negatively all the time, too -- "gay." Everyone takes a hateful word and turns it into something good. Miss Vicky does it with "bitch." Black people call each other the N word. Women call themselves the C word.

I may have to add this movie to my new Top 100 list just for this scene alone:



Starting at 2:15 -- the verbal fight between Philip Seymour Hoffman as a "woman trapped in a man's body" and Robert De Niro. So damn funny. Watch the whole thing, but if you can't, 2:15 onward.
