I first hoped that spontaneous human combustion was a reality when I was taken to watch "The Sound of Music" at our local fleapit. I hadn't heard of the phenomenon at that point, of course, but even at such a tender age I instinctively understood the urgent need for it or for something very much like it as soon as I heard "Climb Every Mountain" for the first time. Dreadful!

Since then, my sights have broadened. I have this little black book with a list of people I believe the world would be much better off without. Since I'm neither a murderer nor a supporter of capital punishment, plus I think that suicide is the sissy's way out of your problems, there's only route left, isn't there?

Dear Capfka: It must be close to fifty years since I saw "The Sound of Music", but I still remember enjoying it very much, and find your despising it incomprehensible.
Be it remembered that I have liked very few movies.

Re The sound of Spewsick.

Amen, Pfranz. I always want to spell von Trapp with a C where the T is - that movie itself is a crime against humanity. At the very least it ought to carry a health warning about the dangers of excessive exposure to insane levels of saccharine schmaltz.

Maybe y'all'd like the Korean version. With no music.

"Sound of Mucus" gets over 400 Google hits. That's what Christopher Plummer called it, by the way. "The Sound of Mucus." I'm with Chris.

Well, at least it'd have irony going for it, wouldn't it?

Well I liked it, so
SOM that is not spontaneous human combustion which I don't think I'd like at all. Although I've seen an amateur version that I don't care to remember. The sing-long version was fun. (uh, that's SOM again not SHC)

*ponders a sing-a-long during spontaneous human combustion... wonders if they do that at boy scout camps*
