It's rather... embarrassing to return a rented, blood and bone-spattered, ice-filled wood chipper.
You never get your deposit back.
Or . . . so I would assume.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

I should probably watch that movie someday, shouldn't I?

Imagine if they rated TV shows on the loyalty of their fan base, instead of raw numbers.

I liked it. Some of my fondness was due to the setting. I grew up a tad east, but the flat, wintery landscape in much of the movie definitely resonated with me.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
The argument can be made, although I don't know if they can prove it, that the producers deliberately distressed the sister and should have foreseen some severe mental problems that came from that.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

That sounds like it's going to be a tough job.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
Fargo has one of movies' great female characters. Smart, strong, warm, and capable. Jilli, you are going to HATE her clothes, but you'll love ol' Marge.

That car survey article mentioned the now-discontinued Pontiac Aztec. I was listening to the radio a few weeks ago, and they mentioned that Pontiac is now claiming that their new entry-level SUV is their first one ever, apparently wiping the Aztec from their history completely. According to the radio report, the company's website has also deleted it from their "history of car lines past" section.
