Neighborhood Bloggers To Sponsor Community Children's Movie Night

If you read my other blog as you should you will know about Alderman NoMooreFoieGras's totally lame movie night. I told people not to go because there will be lots of screaming hyper-active children who's all been fed poisonous amounts of sugar by our aldercreature. I told people to instead go oh and awe over my nephew's performance at the winter skate event which I organized. The usual flock of bleating sheep who read and comment on my blog showed up to give Patrick and me the appropriate worshipful gaze.

After the skate event got to talking over a few drinks at the Oasis and decided that we Rogers Park bloggers should sponsor a community children's movie night. We'd do a much better job of organizing a movie night than Joe NoMooreFoieGras and rather than encouraging the bastard children of Alderman Povertypimp's voters to run wild we'd teach them to act like the civilized human beings that we are. Now before we can schedule the movie night and pick a location we have to decide which movie we are going to show. This prompted lots of spirited discussion.

Shrill Morton wants to show "Tron" because he says its the greatest computer movie ever made. He watches it at least once a week and learned how to do his job from it. Tomblogger Womannis immediately dissed that idea. He said that very few of the hoodlets are going to work for Jonny Quest Network Services and spend their days teaching people how to turn on their computers and read our blogs.

Tomblogger wants to show the Reagan era hit "Red Dawn. This movie is about how the Soviet Union invades the United States only to be driven out by a band of heroic children. Womannis says that even the stupid children of Rogers Park can't fail to see the analogy. Children (our movie audience) rise up and overthrow their dictatorial communist oppressors (Joe NoMooreFoieGras, David FAGus, Katie Hogan, Michael James, James Ginderske).

Perky Sandy Duncan, author of the 24/7 Howardwatchers Blog says that the nasty children of the neighborhood need to be taught a lesson in proper behavior. She advocates showing a movie on etiquette. While the movie is showing Sandy Duncan will march around the room shaking her finger, tut-tutting and generally looking disgusted and displeased. That will show the nasty little hoodlets.

My number one fan Jostle_Lynn wants to use the movie night as a chance to promote gardening. She has a four hour long film of the azaleas in her garden waving in the summer breeze. She thinks it would be a great idea for the children to sit their looking enviously at the beauty of her yard while sitting straight up in their hard folding chairs with their hands folded politely on their laps and their feet flat on the floor.

I haven't decided which idea we will go with but they are all pretty good. The children are going to love them. Stay tuned to the blogs for more information on this upcoming exciting event.

Blognotes: Don't worry. I am a responsible uncle. I didn't take Patrick into the Oasis. He waited for us in the car. We were in the Oasis for at least four hours and not a word of complaint out of the kid. He sat quietly waiting for us the entire time. Think what your typical Rogers Park kid would have done in that time. You don't find quality kids like Patrick here in Rogers Park.
