Connie, thanks for that link
That was a proper opera audience, the kind who start cheering even before the aria's done, then stand up and holler some more. There need to more soccer hooligans at opera concerts.
No. You're missing the point. The design of the thing is functional. The plan is not to shoot you. The plan is to get the girl. If there's no girl, then the plan, well, is like the room.

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift
Watch this! Simon Cowell with his jaw dropped in awe!
Damn. Just....damn. I got goosebumps, and a little teary. Nessun Dorma is one of my top three favorite arias. If you check the Britain's Got Talent site, he's (spoiler-fonted for the extremely phobic even though it's on another continent) got a spot in the finals!

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
You know, pretty soon Ozzie is going to be meeting you at the door with an Uzi in one hand and a canoli in the other.I am terrified that this is going to be true.

Cass! How appropriate to be mentioning cannolis and the music of Nino Rota....

Oh, you just say that because Ozzie's gonna kill me. Eventually.
How are you doing, lovely woman?

I am well. Getting up the courage to go and clean the litter box; it's trash day.
Oooh, I never told you, but I met Max Papis and Ron Fellows (24 Hours of Le Mans, American Le Mans, Rolex Sport Car, and NASCAR) last month. 'Twas very, very interesting. Max and I had a wonderful conversation in Italian and he showed off pictures of his newborn son.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."
Yay again for the MoonBones!
Zaphod? For reals? OH MY GOD I LOVE IT!!!!!!
This. So much this.
Awesome link connie! I sent it to everyone to prove I do have a squishy marshmellow inside.
Mr. Jane is trying to put up some video from his high school days including a senior party with his first time behind a bar (so cool he's got that on film). It's from back when 18 was still legal, so there's a bunch of 18 year old kids loading up on a bus to go to a bar for their Senior Party.
He's also puting up my favorite in this series, his Ring Ceremony from his Jr. year. Sounds pretty boring, a bunch of kids having their names called to go up to the stage and get their rings. Our friend M, in true M fashion made this ceremony legendary. It was still talked about when I got there (I'm 5 years behind Mr. Jane).
Thing I didn't say at a housing luncheon today: "Um, please do not assume we're all Christian."

Oh! I adore Mad Max. For ages and ages. And he's the charmingest dad, too. Married to Emmo's daughter, yes? That child is quite the racing royalty, really.
How lovely!
And Fellows is just ... dude, it's Ron Fellows. They ran white cars in his honor a few races ago. Because he is *just* *that* *cool.*
Litter boxes are terrifying. I cleaned mine today but I loathed it. I want to never have to do that again.
I am so amused that there were wicked cool racing people around and you thought of me. Because those boys? Really cool.
