Feast of St Joatamon

Between delivering stultifying anecdotes and armchair spectating (Newcastle United Jets 2 - LA "divided and conquered" Galaxy 1!), I managed to squeeze in the DVDs of unconventional break-up comedy "Forgetting Sarah Marshall", its patchy round-up-the-party-hound sequel "Get Him To The Greek", and "Rocket Science", a tale of speech impediments, unrequited puppy love and high-school debating. I myself was on the debating team in junior high and we were spectacularly average. Our contests were nowhere near as serious as the sort depicted in this flick, though. Dare I say it, they were merely an excuse to get out of regular classes for a while and go for a drive.
