I feel like we should drink every time Dick calls something "second rate"

I have an entire book of U.S. Embassy documents shredded before the flight from Tehran and painstakingly put back together by the revolutionaries. It's really kind of neat, but yeah, not so sure how useful that sort of shredder is if someone actually makes the effort.

Thanks for the help! Now, to compose the e-mail. We were down to really only talking to each other once or twice a year, particularly on our birthdays (one day apart), but one year that phone call never got placed and we haven't talked to each other since.

Wow, Emily Hughes really looks like Alyson Hannigan.

I think I'm just going to shake up the bag of shreds and assume that no one in my neighborhood would take the effort.

If an athlete doesn't have a disease or a maimed relative, are they not allowed in the Olympics?

How solid was the case againts Tonya's ex? I'm beginning to think NBC set the whole thing up.

ION, I saw a preview for Thank You For Smoking at the movies today, and there was a funny bit between Aaron Eckhart as the smoking lobbyist and Rob Lowe as the movie producer. Eckhart is saying they need a big hero to smoke in a movie. Lowe says they have a big space movie coming up, would that work? Eckhart says, "But wouldn't that be a problem in full oxygen? Wouldn't it, you know, explode?" Lowe says, "You have a point. But that's an easy fix -- one line in the script. 'Aren't you glad we have the ...whatever... now?'."

Made me laugh, anyway.

Jesse, I want badly to see that movie. I remember that line making me smile.

And it has Seth Cohen! The rest of it might get me over my general dislike of Aaron Eckhart, which is really entirely a function of the movies he made with that odious man whose name I can't remember.
