And now I want to hear "Let's All Have a Patrick Swayze X-mas"
... love that song.
Oh, at first it was confusing. Just the idea of computers was like — whoa! I'm eleven hundred years old! I had trouble adjusting to the idea of Lutherans.

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

Last week was something called "Quatermass II: Invasion from Space", some '50s British thing where they used a new Shell oil plant as the set (according to the note at the end). I'm wondering what the first Quatermass (spelled correctly) was like that they thought it was worth making a sequel.
Well, they were no budget movies, but the Quatermass films (which were based on a TV series) were smartly scripted (not unlike DR. WHO, though not kid oriented). 20,000,000 YEARS TO EARTH is a really cool movie, but I think it had a much more generous budget.

That movie is GREAT and they should show it every Christmas!
It's also got Richard Mulligan! Pre-Bill-and-Ted!Keanu! Drew doesn't look that stoned! And all the Mother Goose references. So awesome.

I dicovered last night that Memphis' lone Long John Silver's is in an area of town I really don't ever want to drive through again.
I just realized this morning why the Brown's Chicken nearest my apartment doesn't have a bigger sign and is tucked away into a strip mall, as opposed to a stand-alone building like every other one in the chain. It's in Palatine. Back in 1993, seven people were killed in the old Palatine Brown's (which was a stand-alone), and the murder suspects have been awaiting trial for 4 1/2 years. A strange revelation to have while listening to the radio news as you're getting into the shower.

Oh Kathy A, I finally saw the commercial that your tagline is from. Brilliant. (The guy who said it was German, right?)
For posterity:
Never question Mr. Nibbles!!

I thought he was British, but he could have been more Teutonic. FYI for anyone who hasn't seen it yet, it's from the Staples commercial with the reindeer, the aforementioned "Mr. Nibbles." It's hilarious! I first saw it during the football games on Sunday, and have seen it a few times since, and giggle every time.
