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

I still wince when I walk by the little alcove in the BART station where Emmett had one of his most epic tantrums in front of 3,000 commuters.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

FWIW, this morning mac is all sweet hugs and smiles.

I am terribly amused by the RC Heli vids and I'm thinking I'd better get one for my cats, already. And a video camera to capture the action, oh yes....

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."

The South? Dudes. SEC Football. The one true conference.

Pallets on the floor, over the vents to keep cool. Skinny dipping. Dogs on the front porch. Dogs under the front porch. Dirt roads. One room churches. Whiskey based home remedies. Double wides. Old country music. Daddies. Hoop skirts. Fried freaking everything. High school football games. Ginormous belt buckles. Using everybody's first and middle names. Going to town. Piggly Wigglys and Big Stars. Well water.

I'm not sure it's my favorite thing, but what I find endlessly facinating is the sort of schizoid Southern Pride bit, boasting plantations, civil war reenactments and the confederate flag, while wanting to shove slavery and horrible civil rights violations under the rug. It's really twisted.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I would say I've never been to the South, but I did just spend four days in Virginia, so I guess that counts....Sort of.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."

I've mostly never been out of it. I've certainly never lived anywhere else.

OH MY GOD, COULD MY HUSBAND SNORE ANY LOUDER!?!?

24: This season is weird. That is all.

I gave up on it two episodes ago, and, given my completist tendencies, that is really saying something.

See, I agree this season has been wack (though I missed a big chunk of it early on because of HEROES and not having DVR at the time), but I'm still enjoying it. I think I gave up on there being remotely any plausibility season one with Terri's amensia in any case. Also, Audrey is SO the new Spawn, which, EWWWWW!!! if you think about it too much.

Did I mention I finally got DVR? DVR ROCKS!! Just in time for my week and a half road trip when my shows coming back (just need to make sure I free up enough space).

Oh my gosh, FrankenB -- you've joined the 21st century! Now do you realize what the rest of us have been saying you'd enjoy?

My DVR is what made me realize I needed to stop watching 24. It was always the last thing I chose to watch and I finally realized I just didn't care what happened.
