A Fowl Dissipation
On Monday Amy Farrah Fowler did not join the group for Thai food. Sheldon seemed unconcerned.
On Tuesday Amy Farrah Fowler did not appear at a scheduled Girl’s Night. Bernadette and Penny were so busy doing each other’s hair they didn’t realize she hadn’t arrived until they were almost done.
On Wednesday Amy Farrah Fowler did not join Sheldon for New Comic Book Day and subsequent Halo. Since she had previously expressed her distaste for both events nobody was surprised.
On Thursday, everybody appeared for Pizza Night but Amy.
Penny was curious.
“Sheldon, have you seen Amy?”
“No.”
“Do you know where she is?”
“She’s gone.”
“I don’t understand.”
“I can only relate what she told me when she Skyped with me on Sunday evening.”
“Well?”
“Amy has relocated to Saudi Arabia to marry Faisel.”
“You’re kidding me.”
“Apparently her fiancée Faisel came for a surprise visit last weekend and informed Amy that according to her contract with him she could either relocate to Saudi Arabia and marry him immediately, pay him back the entire investment he had made in her research or be beheaded. Faisel maintained that after supporting her for so long he deserved a decision. She chose to marry him and remain there to continue her research. Apparently he will allow her to experiment on human subjects.”
“Sheldon, aren’t you surprised she just left. You guys were getting so close.”
“Initially I was surprised. But then I realized that the time I was forced to spend on my relationship with Amy could be better spent furthering my scientific goals.”
“So, everything goes back to how it was before you met Amy?”
“Not exactly. You are once again involved in your misbegotten relationship with Leonard. Howard and Bernadette are married. Raj can speak to women. And Leonard purchased a vehicle for you that does not have enough headroom to allow me to ride in it comfortably. Things have most certainly changed.”
“Are you sad that Amy is no longer part of your life?”
“Amy is still a part of my life. We will continue to Skype regularly. There will just be no physical contact. And Faisel is monitoring our conversations. He has told Amy that if she even alludes to physical contact with me she will be beheaded. I wish I had thought of that four years ago.”
“So now you’ll go through the rest of your life without anyone?”
“There is someone I’d be more than happy to pursue a relationship with but she remains unavailable to me. Should that situation change, however…”

After a rather illuminating conversation in the Grumblebox, concerning an admiration for Jock and his pet Snake in Indiana Jones, I was reminded of my own occasionally unusual fixations in film history.
As many people like making little lists, I thought we could all list our Top Twenty (favourites, not necessarily the “Best”)…partially to gain some film recs, and partially to peer insidiously into each other's minds…
I view such lists as revealing a private mythology, and a form of personality “shorthand”, but I understand other people might simply say “Here’s a bunch of films I like, fucko, don’t read too much into it.”
Which is grand.
My Top Ten hasn’t altered since I was 15 yrs old….so evidently my personality hasn’t either.
Maybe I should try “growing” like Sheldon, and become somebody completely different.
Arses.
TOP TEN
The Sting
Casablanca
Lawrence of Arabia
Death in Venice
Amadeus
The Man Who Would Be King
Withnail and I
Blues Brothers
Zorba the Greek
Aguirre: The Wrath of God
<Honourable Mentions>
Goya in Bordeaux
The Third Man
The Seventh Seal
Le Samourai
Onegin
Blade Runner
Master and Commander
Who Framed Roger Rabbit
Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade
Zero Kelvin
I love putting Roger Rabbit and Seventh Seal in the same category…Potentially people could make a subsection for “Enjoyable Idiocy”...
So, any other idle bastards want to add theirs?
Edited. Bloody forgot Blade Runner. Ta Space. Also, I'm not including ANY Buster Keaton or Marx Brothers because then there wouldn't be room for anything else.
Also, Monty Python films are a given.

"While Raj is wracked with guilt when he tries to date two women at once, Penny wrestles with whether to take a role in a cheesy movie and Sheldon is torn trying to choose between two gaming systems."
I know a lot of you are going to skip this one but I thought we could start the caption competitions just for a bit of fun. Feel free to make them as dark and disturbing as you can muster but please try to stay OT about the episode in your general posts here.
Thanks.
