Yolo

There was a massive  a 'feel good' snowball fight at the University of Toronto this week.  Here's the video.

I have a new acronym now 'yolo'.  I saw it on a website and son K calmly told me it means 'you only live once'.  They had used a fancy font, so I thought they just meant to say 'solo'.  Yes, there is another language out there these days!

I normally don't watch a lot of movies and definitely not the ones Husband M or son K watch. Anyway, this past weekend K suggested we watch 'Paul Blart: Mall Cop'. It is a slapstick comedy that his friend recommended and I felt I could stomach one of K's comedies lol. It turned out to be really funny and we all enjoyed it. If you just want a good laugh, nothing offensive, a feel-good movie, you should watch it. It has suspense, humour, even James Bond qualities. Watch Paul Blart Mall Cop (2009) starring the hilarious Kevin James. Roger Ebert gave it a 3 out of 4 rating. And there's no swearing!

The film sounds good. You mean really NO swearing? Now that is unusual. Love the word YOLO! Valere

Haha! I loved that video. A good old fashioned snowball fight is the perfect way to have fun. Adults should get into this, too; it's a great way to relieve stress...and feel like a kid again!

I have seen 'Paul Blart: Mall Cop' and agree that it is really funny. I was very reluctant at first thinking it would be completely ridiculous, but I was pleasantly surprised by how good it is.

Thanks for the movie recommendation. I'll look for it on Netflix.

Me and my friend watched Mall Cop a few years back and it was actually a really good movie. I don't know if that's just because we were drunk or what, but I remember being surprised at how funny it was.

I don't watch movies anymore. David is the movie buff, but he generally prefers violent movies.

Yes, I watched it too! AND I so so agree - there's a whole new language these days! YOLO! xoxo

Just the kind of movie that would interest me. A good laugh and nothing too dramatic. It is great to watch movies as a family too.
