It's a very good review of the best things of the past millennium, often from categories that the mainstream media have overlooked. Go see it. It's good!

You can't seriously want to ban alcohol. It tastes great, makes women appear more attractive, and makes a person virtually invulnerable to criticism.

Oh look, the Mayan calendar. But if it's the best calendar of this millennium, wouldn't that make it the best calendar of the past 5114 years?

Now go read it and start picking over the archives. This stuff is too good to miss, and if the worst of the Y2K hype is correct, you may never have another chance to see this stuff again (and if it isn't at least you'll be free for other activities).

Hmmm... Well, if I have to lose to someone, at least it was the definitive curmudgeon. Here's a sample of his work:
That sovereign of insufferables, Oscar Wilde has ensued with his opulence of twaddle and his penury of sense. He has mounted his hind legs and blown crass vapidities through the bowel of his neck, to the capital edification of circumjacent fools and foolesses, fooling with their foolers. He has tossed off the top of his head and uttered himself in copious overflows of ghastly bosh. The ineffable dunce has nothing to say and says it� says it with a liberal embellishment of bad delivery, embroidering it with reasonless vulgarities of attitude, gesture and attire. There never was an impostor so hateful, a blockhead so stupid, a crank so variously and offensively daft. Therefore is the she fool enamored of the feel of his tongue in her ear to tickle her understanding.
Such marvelous invective. It brings tears to my eyes. Good thing he's dead, huh?
