Movie going is a proud American tradition because it's the closest thing to doing absolutely nothing that you can get away with and still be considered "out". That's why my special lady and I headed out to the movie theater on Suday afternoon to view "Harold and Kumar Go to White Castle".

We both had reservations. One reviewer called it "Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas" for the modern generation. I doubted it. There have always been debates about what makes a film great; some people will claim it's the writing, some the directing, some the acting. Some will say a great film makes you question your station in life and even your place in the universe. If the latter is true, then Harold and Kumar Go to White Castle is a great film.

The scene that left me in spotlight, losing my religion, was when Harold and Kumar stop by a college to "score some dank" or whatever you kids say now-a-days when you want to smoke the marijuana. They were hiding in a bathroom stall when two "attractive" ladies entered and proclaimed that they had "The Taco Shits". Oh Boy! I thought to myself, and geared up to laugh at my favorite thing to laugh at: shit.

They shat and I didn't laugh. It wasn't funny and I was in a momentary state of panic. "HA HA" I said, trying to get the ball rolling. Nothing. It wasn't funny. I don't know if it was a poorly executed shit scene or if something horrible has happened to me. I'm almost too afraid to watch another fart joke scene in a movie for fear that it will fail to make me laugh.

What should I do?
