Brude,
No apology offered. Had you included some kind of reference for the
story (which you yourself were very vague on the details about) -- my
thoughts about little old ladies passing *idle, unsubstantiated* gossip
over the backyard fence would never have been made it into print :)
However, as far as I can discover, the link you provide doesn't actually
substantiate that Stone said anything about either dosing or wanting to
does his father's wine. It's just a comment about the same vague story
made by someone one else. I've actually spent a bit of time searching
the web myself on this and can't find anything like an substantive
source indicating Stone said any such thing, so we're right back to my
original comment re: idle, unsubstantiated gossip.
The story (at least as you've relayed it so far and from what I have not
been able to discover about it) sounds like one of those off-the-cuff
joking remarks some celebrity makes (possibly while rapping with Bill
Maher) which then gets picked up and passed around on the internet and
ends up taking on a completely different context and/or set of details
from the original statement.
Even if Stone is a film director, I think we may have slipped a little
ways into OT Land here...

So sorry. It was his father's wine, not coffee.

I wish I could dig up the whole story for you.
No need to apologize for "the little old lady with nothing else to do"
remark.
You are just not informed.

I never heard that. Seems like heavy-duty rumor mongering on to
me. I mean, exactly what is the story you are trying to tell us:
1) Oliver Stone *did* dose his dad's coffee
2) Oliver Stone said he once thought about dosing his dad's coffee
and was
a) joking, or
b) serious, but far too sensible/responsible to actually do it
So just what is the story you're offering here? How about you find
some kind of citation backing up something this vague before
passing it over the backyard fence like some little old lady with
nothing else to do?

Isn't Stone the same jerk who claimed he dosed (or wanted to
dose) his father's coffee with a tab of acid to see what happened?
Once a jerk, always a jerk.

Maybe Oliver is angling to get Mel to sell him the movie
rights to his life story. If so, he is going about it the
right way.
