Simon: I, uh... I never-never shot anyone before. Book: I was there, son. I'm fair sure you haven't shot anyone yet.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

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

I have been invited to go see Manos: Rock Opera of Fate!

Oh my. That is just too awesome.

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

Pratt wrote his well received book on Country Houses of Central Europe.

Where he no doubt toured as an unwelcome guest for months at a time.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."

One more thing and then I'm going to lunch to escape for a minute.

How are people not aware of public restroom ettiquite?

1. Please do not talk to yourself while I am using the facilities. It makes it difficult to pretend you are not there which is the only way some of us can manage to use a public restroom.
2. You damn sure don't talk to me while I'm using the facilities.

Thank you.

Anyone know enough about the stock market (especially put options) to be able to tell if this is true? [link]

It's very conspiracy theory-ish, but the central assertion should (I think) be easy to prove true or false.

eta: OK, it sounds like the story was exaggerated. I think I just spent too much time in wacko-conspiracy land....

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"

I have been invited to go see Manos: Rock Opera of Fate!

I don't think I want to spend $15 on a ticket until someone confirms that the rock opera will include singing the praises of pants.

I think you HAVE to see this. If only to let us know if they somehow utilize the haunting Torgo theme.

Not to mention CDs for Evil Dead: The Musical and Boomstick!: The Musical. Awsome indeed.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

Tommy, I don't think we're all going to die in a month and only that particular publication knows about it. It's bullshit. Note also here: [link]
