SMAPPYVILLE
Hi everybah-dee, and welcome to Smappyville. Well, it's been a while, hasn't it? I'm still readjusting to using a computer, so bear with me if there are any glitches in the programme.
For all you out-of-the-loopers, I just got back from sunny California (Orange County to be exact), where I spent the last 2 years as a missionary for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, or "Mormons," as we are often called. I'm currently throwing together a page that explains a little about what LDS missionaries do and some of my own experiences as a missionary as well.
My friends are probably worried that after 2 years as a missionary I've turned into some religious robot, but no need to worry. I'm still the same dork they've always known. Just less dorky. Okay, so maybe I have changed a little, but anybody who knew me before would probably join with me in admitting that change is sometimes a good thing. Don't worry, I've retained my charming personality. I'm still Dave. If anything, the mission has helped my personality to grow. Having to talk to people all day will do that to a person. So if I'm any better than I was before, chalk it up to the mission field.
But enough of this spiritual profundity. You came here to laugh, cry and hurl. And that you shall.

All thumb jokes aside, I think he's the best film critic out there. For those of you (such as myself) who have a general distaste for critics, I urge you to give Ebert a chance, or you'll be missing something.
