Man Lessons Revisited

I fear that I have already failed in my pre-fatherhood journey. It's completely unacceptable, neigh, unconscionable that I made mention of Terminator in my "Man Lessons" post about movies that taught me life lessons and yet I somehow omitted T2: Judgement Day. We are talking about a movie that is arguably the most awesome adolescent blockbuster ever made! Even more impressive, it's epic awesomeness is not even slightly hindered by its complete and total lack of boobs (some would argue it even completely lacked a female character...ouch). I know that there is still plenty of time before the boy is born, let alone before he reaches proper viewing age, but I still feel as though my lack of proper fathering skills have been exposed.

A quick rundown of a few of the important lessons garnered by young boys from T2:

-Flat tops will never die. You're probably thinking that I'm referring to the fact that Arnold's character is still rocking the same symmetrical hairstyle after his inital experience traveling through time to kill a member of the Connor family in 1984. What you're missing is the fact that Arnold's presence in the past only confirms the haircut's popularity nearly a half century into the future (2029). Mindblowing!

-Semi trucks filled with gas make a totally sweet pingy sound right before they explode into tsunami's of fire. What could make a massive explosion of gas and future cyborg assasins even cooler...ping-KABOOM!!!

-Operating lever-action shotguns while riding Harley Davidon motorcyles is not only feasible, but it's also just plain badass.  I would never have believed it if I hadn't seen it on the big screen with my own eyes. Who would have thought that these two seemingly opposing activities could work out as well as an Austrian bodybuilding actor trying his hand at state politics.....ahh shit.

-The key to real comic genius is merely asking a foreigner to mesh English with some sort of Spanish slang... and then blowing something or someone up! I bet Steve Martin feels soo stupid for wasting his time "thinking" about all those jokes!
