D-Parted

Took D atop the toilet paper lily pad Elle must have left after peeing in the middle of the night.

The caliber of D that resulted should make you, the reader, glad blogs don't come in scratch 'n sniff form.

Reading a fascinating story about an inside man who brought down one of Columbia's biggest drug cartels.

Followup D.

Didn't want to. Didn't have a choice.

You hate to see this happen to good people....

Halfway through my shower, I realized I had to Take D.

Thus, my fresh-out-of-the-shower feeling lasted approximately 30 seconds today.

The big winner tonight (or at least one of them) was THE DEPARTED.

I still believe this is an overrated film -- closer to the BRINGING OUT THE DEAD/KUNDUN end of Scorsese's career spectrum than the GOODFELLAS/"Mirror Mirror" episode of Amazing Stories/'Bad' video pot of gold.

And I'm not just saying that because I was totally let down to find that the movie had nothing to do with the Taking (nor Parting) of D.

Tonight's cinematic celebration does have me thinking about the Best D's in Motion Picture History.

Three immediately come to my mind:

PULP FICTION

Vincent Vega (John Travolta) gets a chestful of hot metal after Butch (Bruce Willis) discovers him in his apartment.

What was VV doing? Taking D, of course.

DUMB & DUMBER

Lloyd (Jim Carrey) sabotages Harry's (Jeff Daniels) date by slipping some 'Turbo Lax' into his tea.

Daniels' outrageous gastrointestinal pyrotechnics will never cease to put a smile on my face.


JURASSIC PARK

The dastardly lawyer Gennaro (Martin Ferraro) meets his unfortunate -- yet cheer-inducing -- end when the T-Rex catches him helplessly Taking D in an outhouse.



These are just three scenes that immediately come to mind. I suspect this is a topic I'll return to regularly as other classic instances of cinematic D Taking occur to me.

And of course, please feel free to suggest your own personal favorites.
