CLICK: An Adam Sandler Moment — by Steve Nadis
I don’t identify too strongly with Adam Sandler–not having been a waterboy on my high school football team, a pugilistic golfer, or a wedding singer–yet I thought of him briefly last night. I was watching the climax of an Alfred Hitchcock thriller when my wife came down to say good night. I asked her to wait a second, until I paused the movie. But just then, with remote control in hand, the thought crossed my mind: Couldn’t I pause my wife for a second, see the end of the movie (just a few minutes left), and then “unpause” her and say good night?
What an idea, I thought to myself. It could even be the premise for a good movie. But, more likely than not, it would be the premise for a horrible movie–such as the one I’ve already vowed not to see.

Do yourself a favor: Don’t ever, ever, tell your wife that you thought of pausing her. Bad idea!
sorry , but i wont touch this one,,
great can of worms,,
you opened up,,technologically speaking.
You’re both right. I don’t know what I was thinking.
I have to agree with Daphne. This is borderline sexist. And maybe it’s not even “borderline.”
They say a good offense is the best defense, Lindsey, so I could go on “attack mode” and call you an ignorant _ _ _ _. But instead I’m just going to say, “Guilty as charged,” and leave it at that.
Nothing sexist about it, Lindsay. Just rude. ANY person doesn’t want to feel they are a machine to be controlled by another. Oh…wait a minute.. I think George w. just came on TV. I must go. Thankyou for your attention to this matter. Good night. Mark S. 101101011___ *
Thanks Marco P. Can I speak now, or have you “paused” me?
sorry, I’m missing this, how is this sexist? You’re wife expects you to pause your life, what your doing, so that she can have instant gratification. I get it, it’s small potatos, but still, we should not feel that we need to “always” default to the woman’s needs. We, as males, often “cow-down” to this female double-standard. I get fired up when someone calls me sexist, misogynist, or chauvanist. Sorry ladies, my unwavering opinion on these matters are if you want to be equal to men in all arenas and all aspects of society, then expect the same treatments as result. If you want to reserve special double-standards of feminity when it suits you, then I want certain elements to remain male-exculsive. Does that sound fair?
However, it is important to note that my only C at University was in Woman’s Studies (the prof was a really piece of… work), and girlfriend right now is pissed because I forgot her birthday.
… did all these just post in the same minute?… weird…
“Damn! This thing must be screwed up again!”
whack whack.
“Ahhh. well, I guess you can continue, Snake. Atleast until I pick up some more AA’s!”
tap- tap… Wwhack!
“hmmm….”
Hope you sort out the A key, there Marco. And maybe you’re right, GS. In which case, I was wrong to have said I was wrong. If you know what I mean…
Wow Snake, who would have thought an Adam Sandler movie could produce 11 comments? OK, make it 12. Perhaps you should do more posts on Rob Schneider films too.
Hey Doc — I can’t believe you passed up an opportunity to mention Deuce Bigalow. That’s not like you. Everything OK?
this blog looks great,i hope i can read your article very soon.
