skygal3 0 #1 January 9, 2003 So I just finished watching Signs. Here is my theory as to why corn is the sum of all evil as we know it. Maybe corn is not satan itself, but it is definitely a harbinger. Signs-crop circles. Where? Corn fields. Not done yet. What other correlations are there to cornfields?? Children of the corn..eh? Satanic religious worshipping going on in corn fields. Come on, can anyone of us who saw that movie pass a corn field to this day without getting the heebe jeebies?? Still-not done yet. When do we see the display of corn in our country?? Halloween time-corn stalks…getting warmer here right? Corn. My cat Lola is allergic to corn. She cannot digest anything with any type of corn product in it. What is the cause of most pet dander or pet allergies?? Corn in the diet. Why do use corn as an additive in pet food? It is inexpensive to product and abundant. What does that come down to? Money. Money is the root of evil ya know…where are our rainforests, rainforests that supply our world with necessary oxygen going?? Well, they ae being depleted-for corn! For cattle! What do we feed cattle?? Corn!!! Why?? McDonalds!!! Ahh….see…corn. Its evil…corn is a harbinger of evil. Come on people, you know I am right!!! ok, so seriously now..creepy creepy movie. Ahh...I'm gonna have dreams of creepy aliens hovering over me, I know it. Thats it. I'm going to bed with a tinfoil hat on. Nuff said. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
skymama 37 #2 January 9, 2003 I was allergic to corn as a child and suffered through 4 years of allergy shots. I couldn't eat what the other kids ate because corn starch and corn syrup are in practically all kinds of those processed food that kids love. I think you're onto something. This explains a lot. Now, can you tell me why I end up missing socks when I take my clothes out of the dryer? She is Da Man, and you better not mess with Da Man, because she will lay some keepdown on you faster than, well, really fast. ~Billvon Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
skygal3 0 #3 January 9, 2003 Thank you Skymama. I knew I could count on you for support. As your the answer to your sock problem-it's simple. They solved it on South Park already. Gnomes. Kinda like the underwear gnomes, but these feed on socks. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

KawiZX900 0 #6 January 9, 2003 you know what i really love, corn soup in a can served hot in vending machines in tokyo, that stuff kicks ass so does any kinda corn chowder, and sometimes i like to just peel back a husk and chow down. or = good on the grill or on a salad. or if you slathe it w/ butter and take a knife and cut strips off the cob.. is it any wonder my favorite song is RUN WITH THE DEVIL by Van Halen Accelerate hard to get them looking, then slam on the fronts and rollright beside the car, hanging the back wheel at eye level for a few seconds.

scottbre 0 #10 January 9, 2003 QuoteSo, you didn't like the movie? This movie is disappointing at best. It starts out with a nice creepy mysterious feel, but ends up being just like every other monster movie made since the mid 90's. If you've seen Indepence Day (ID4), don't waste you time on Signs. ID4 is the same thing but with more interesting characters. (Not that I cared much for ID4 either) "Your mother's full of stupidjuice!"

skygal3 0 #11 January 9, 2003 I wouldn't say it was the best movie, and compared to other M.Night Shymaylan movies it was a bit disappointing. I sat up a few times and looked at the screen like WTF?? I mean, he sees an alien in his corn field and then sees UFO stuff on the news and he isn't phased in the slightest bit...and the thing with his wife?? Oh come on. Poor Patricia Kalember--she went from being the lead on Thirtysomething to a wife pinned under a truck. Cut! Do you think you can act a bit more crushed against that tree??

SkymonkeyONE 4 #12 January 9, 2003 Corn is obviously evil, but corn cobs are generally what are up people's asses when they are acting cranky. Just ask Sunshine. For that matter, you could have asked me at Eloy when I was at the height of my illness."Get that cob out of your ass!" Chuck Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest #13 January 9, 2003 "Signs" is a well-crafted suspense flick, and I enjoyed it very much. MNS has a real gift - he does very well with the Hollywood "nevers", kids and dogs... I love how he'd build an almost unbearable amount of tension and suspense, then break it with some clever comedy relief. It takes a very deft touch to do that well; that is, keep a scene like that together from the script to the shots to the editing. Of course, it's a team effort, and talent like Gibson and Phoenix don't hurt the effort, but it still takes artistic vision to be able to push a screenplay through the meat grinder and have it come out a diamond. In your "Evil Corn" theory discussions, don't forget "The Stand", by Stephen King. I mean, naughty corn is EVERYWHERE in that book! Bad! Bad corn! Bad! hehehe "The mouse does not know life until it is in the mouth of the cat." Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

riddler 0 #15 January 9, 2003 You make a convincing argument. Corn is nothing more than genetically engineered maize and originally came from South America. South America is well known as a nesting ground for evil things, like rebel insurrections, Evita and potatoes. So how do we rid the world of this evil known as corn?Trapped on the surface of a sphere. XKCD Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
happythoughts 0 #16 January 9, 2003 Quote lol...naughty corn...that is too funny!! Of course, there is Illinois, the center of the world corn conspiracy. Every drove across southern Ill in a camper? Speed limit 55 for campers. Yeah, that lasts for 5 minutes. "Ooohh, wake up everybody... corn... " 2 hours later "Hey... more corn..." Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
billvon 3,120 #17 January 9, 2003 But then there's the other side of corn. The side where Quincy goers from all over the world run naked through it. You run up and down the rows, never knowing who you will bump into. And for all you guys who are now salivating - keep in mind the percentages in the sport, and your resultant odds of bumping into a sweaty naked guy instead of a woman. It takes a sharp eye and fast feet to avoid the less desireable collisions. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest #18 January 9, 2003 Bill, That ties back to Stephen King and "naughty corn" again, though I don't think he had Quincy in mind when he wrote "Children of the Corn". This is one corny thread...We could get a lot of mealage out of it....it could be a cereal event...it's truly a-maize-ing... "The mouse does not know life until it is in the mouth of the cat."

With the help of your darling Katie, the corn cob came out!! And I talked to skygal last night right before she watched Signs. I told her it would freak her out and she watched it anyway. Thats my MK!! ___________________________________________ meow I get a Mike hug! I get a Mike hug! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
skygal3 0 #21 January 9, 2003 Now, running naked through corn has never crossed my mind, I must admit. Ow, the thought of getting thwacked in the wrong spot!!There is a guy that I work with here though that just moved up from Maryland and he was obsessed over the summertime with finding a corn field to drive his big 4x4 through...so I guess all of you naked corn runners should watch out for that.
