One of the best lines "i like going to bullfights on acid"


(interesting how this went from the dali lama to movie trivia)

That yound lady who delivers that line is why you want to see the directors cut.... if ya get my drift.

I shook the hand of the Dali lama today in San Francisco. So I have that going for me.



I wonder if my DL will be nicer because I shook the hand of the DL....

I always liked the Dali Lama, he's as legit as the pope is as far as religious leaders go. He also ticks off China, which is always fun. Once he goes, and he will, how long does it take to replace him? Is a guy picked and put into place or is it where they have to grow one?

They pick a child, the re-incarnated Dali Lama. See the movie "kundun"

So when this one passes, which will be a bummer cuz we will have to listen to a non stop collection of celebs whine about it, it would be decades until a kid is picked and grows up to be the new Dali Lama? The Chinese would love that. I'm sure they will have their own to promote.

My national newspaper had a good article about the next succession a few weeks back.

Three page story starts here:

He gets picked very quickly.

Why would you say that?

Actually, it often takes years to select the Dalai Lama. They searched for 4 years before they came upon the current (14th) Dalai Lama (the search began 2 years before he was even born).

The current Dalai Lama has proposed an election system to select his successor, in part to cut down on the time the process takes.

I meant quickly in response to santa's "decades". I didn't mean the next week.

And I met the man, so I know

Is there a chance I may be the next Dali Lama?

I will put in a word with His Holiness.

While Kev does that, let me check with an equally reliable source, the Magic 8 ball. Not bloody likely. The ball has spoken.

Here, those who question my Lama type wisdom when I said it could take decades, clipped and pasted from the article my pal Balducci posted....

When he dies, his reincarnation will almost certainly be a young boy, someone likely decades away from being able to take on the leadership role that comes with the title. Mr. Wang of the Tibetology

Note the word 'decades'....it is a gift.

Decades to be the leader, not the lama

Now you are just tormenting me.....

What, exactly, does Mr. Llama do?

Same as Mr. Alpaca but with less cuteness and a higher acidity to his spit. Oh! You mean the Lama, spritual leader and leader of Tibet
