IF IT TAKES THIS LONG TO GET AN OSCAR THREAD GOING...

POTTY Horton. Get it? John? POTTY? Like a toilet? See, his name is like a name for a toilet so I'm going to call him POTTY?

Anyway, Potty had a fairly interesting interpretation of the same events I saw. Potty saw Moore as getting 'booed off the stage". I guess POTTY missed the standing ovation Moore got going up to the stage, which might mean the audience really respected his work, or might mean they (as anybody could have been) could guess what he was going to do. POTTY horton must have been on the JOHN when that happened. Maybe the booing was about his Tux? POTTY seems to think Moores weight is as germaine a factor as his work or what he had to say, but then that's the kind of hystericalk insight POTTY brings to the table. Moore actually stayed on stage as long as the microphone was available. To be Booed off stage means you leave becuasue of the booing.

Martin's joke to my ear (and admittedly POTTY's insights here are as vaid as anyone's) was a comment on thugs being available and ready to punish people for speaking their minds. POTTY.


POTTY.

POTTY Horton.

Get it? I call him POTTY. Because of his name.
