"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."

Thief was filmed in Shreveport! I was so sad that show didn't work out. OTOH, look for my elementary school in Premonition!

sumi, I think he would probably rather do that. Though I couldn't see him with Sawyer, I could totally see him wanting to be one of Micky Stone's gang.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Tommyrot I was just looking at those Stewerdess pictures yesterday. I love the bubble helmet to protect their hairdo. As for futuristic Moscow, I seriously need somebody to make those snowmobiles.

I had a really good root beer on Sunday--Sprechers, from Wisconsin. Very yummy. The only thing that would have made it better would have been some B&J Vanilla ice cream (yummmm, root beer floats...)

Sprechter's is also a big favorite around Chez Zmayhem.

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

No, the bubble helmets are so they can breathe in space!!!

Except for the fact that they're open on the front. But I assumed the intention was to be evocative of Space Stewardesses.

I look more rad than Lutheranism

A children’s book that included the word “scrotum” was recently the subject of great controversy in school libraries nationwide. A Google search has discovered several more questionable titles and excerpts from other works intended for readers twelve and under.

The Lonely Little Moonbeam made me do my embarassing loud donkey laugh.

I think the book with the word scrotum got so much attention because it was a either a Newbury winner or a Newbury medalist.

Me!! That, and "Just call NAtional-two-nine-hundreeeeed." The Chicago market seems to specialize in catchy carpet-store jingles--the latest is "Luuuu-naaaaa."

Didn't grow up with it, but since living in Chicago it's burned into my brain until the moment I die.

Just three blocks west of the Kennedy expressway....

I heard it was local to Chicago, but ISTR hearing it all through the 1980s in Phoenix and it's still a jingle in New York.

I swear to god, I've heard that recently. But I could be mad.
