Around the World in Eighty...Kicks?

By Loath June 21, 2002 2:08 PM

Empire Online reports that Jackie Chan will begin work on a remake of Around the World in Eighty Days once he has completed work on Shanghai Knights, the sequel to Shanghai Noon, which brings Roy and Chon to London to chase down Jack the Ripper. Jackie Chan will play Jean Passepartout, the butler of Phileas Fogg, a man who has bet his entire fortune that he can circle the globe in eighty days. However, just before he leaves, the Bank of England is robbed and Detective Fix is convinced Fogg has commited the crime and sets out in pursuit. Not much yet is known about the production or due date of the film as of yet.

Sorry, if I'm a foreigner, I don't get your joke, and since no one is here, you just looked like an a-s-s.

No one here but you and I.  Thanks for insulting yourself.  Lord, how you make me laugh at you.

Again with "you're rubber, I'm glue" routine. If you did the joke to me, I don't understand it, and no one is here, there's no fun cause you can't share it, except that you're the kind of idiot that you laugh about everything. That could grant you only one HBO comedy special, not a sitcom. So you could try something new.

Honestly, now skullflamer, what is it with you and comedy routines?  This obsession of yours is nearly as bad as your infatuation with plantains.

Yes, I'll wait for your to translate the three syllable words...

It looks to me that everyone here consider themselves as some professional comedians, cause you guys think you're so funny, but you keep doing jokes with homosexual tendencies and foreign spelling.
Worst that my bad jokes are your constant ones. Change, and prove you do have enlightment.

You first, skullflamer.  I am a gentleman.  I always let ladies in first.  Even the ones that dress like them.

Is that the best you have? Yeah, you do. From gay comparisons to women. Clever.

Geez, no wonder you and mooser have screwed up definitions of clever.

Were you like a foreign exchange student at his school for the mentally challenged?

No, I was giving a conference about the infinite stoopidity of some Shemps. I have a degree on that, I'm an expert in cure them.
But you're a hard case.

RE: Dtheatre is a Site-com   reply

Posted by A random shemp (No Email) on July 2, 2002 10:04 AM

So this is your job?

Figures.

The credo is this, skullflamer: "First, do no harm" and it's corollary is "Cure thyself before you can cure others."

Your not just a hard case, skullflamer.  You are definatley terminally mooser-level "stoopid."

Again, the "no, you are" routine. Are you an ninety-five years old man with Alzheimer? Cause you talk all the time about the same issues.

The idea being that the repition will help YOU learn, skullflamer.

Rub those gray cells togehter and make fire!  Make them sing Ricky Martin tunes if you have to.

The idea of repetition is because you like to hear yourself all the time.
Ricky Martin is from Puerto Rico, not Argentina (which proves you hate latins, not argentinians only) and I remember several US chicks getting crazy for him/her.
