Uncouth

I went to a movie last night. It was the premiere of Accepted. I thought it was an okay movie. Fun, but nothing spectacular. A lot like every other college-type movie. Anyway, the theatre was crowded, being a free premiere and all, and I was seated next to a young man of about 14 or 15. He was overweight with greasy brown hair that was somewhat tied back with an Accepted bandana. He was chatting with some younger kids near him about Pokemon. To my surprise and horror, at one point during the conversation, he sat up a little bit in his chair, and farted. I was so disgusted. He just continued with his conversation as if nothing had happened. In a few minutes, the sequence repeated itself, except that this time he laughed with the little kids about it. I started planning in my head what I would say the next time it happened. P&AF, of course, had some completely inappropriate ideas of what to say. The kid was there with what I would assume was his mother, so I figured I out to say something somewhat tame. How rude though!!! What was wrong with that kid?

how did he get a headband of the movie so fast? I recently saw "Talledega Nights". A guy behind me kept complaining how unreal and ridiculous the movie was. I guess he wanted an accurate NASCAR portrayal that tugged at the heart strings. I would have prefered he cut muffins, anyday.
