There Will Be Blood – As good as they say.

In a surprising new trend, I’ve been seeing a lot of really great movies at the local mainstream movie theater. By a lot I mean I really liked No Country for Old Men, and after seeing There Will Be Blood this weekend, I’d say it is just as good.

Rousing tales from Isley’s spirited past 3 – I said fuck on the bus.

Being a rambunctious sort, my past is full of tales of derring-do and mischievous insubordination. In this series I will examine specific instances of orneriness from my past so that you, the reader, might understand Isley’s special relationship with authority just a little bit better.

This is a 13 year old Isley that had just gotten caught sneaking out of his art class to try to continue his daily flooding of the restroom toilets (that month long reign of terror is a story for another day). As a punishment for wandering the halls unattended I was not allowed to participate in our painting session (a punishment most likely prompted by my art teacher’s suspicion that I was the one who had sprayed the tempra paints all over the back of the classroom on the previous day). Instead I was forced to write an essay over art magazine articles each day for the entire two week painting course.

Well, in a shocking turn of events, I felt the need to challenge her authority. At the end of the two weeks, these are the 12 reports she found waiting for her on her desk:

My top five farts of all time.

Maybe it’s a guy thing, maybe it’s an Isley thing, but farts are kind of hilarious. With that in mind, here are some of my favorite cases of the vapors from the past decade or so!
