Have most people never heard of Armand Hammer?

He was an amazing collector. I asked for one of those huge coffee table books on him when I was an early teen. The World of Armand Hammer. Fascinated.

I don't think I've been to the museum though. Now I think I need to go. Or I want to. Which is close enough.

Her adventure only lasted about ten minutes and nothing bad happened, so it was only briefly scary, and then it was funny. Mom loved to drive.

The cheeping smoke alarm will keep me awake. How come they never start cheeping in the daytime?

I've no idea who Armand Hammer is.

Hey, Giles and Spike are both on Warehouse 13!

Fun times!

I've no idea who Armand Hammer is.

He was some kind of industrialist, JD Rockefeller-style, and the great?grandfather of Armie.

People always asked Armand if he owned Arm & Hammer Baking Soda. He didn't, but he eventually bought it so people would stop making a big deal about it.

ION, the skirt I bought online arrived today, and it fits beautifully. Yay! I foresee an expansion of the wardrobe in my future. And maybe t-shirts that will fit over Hubby's belly.

Was that from Woman Within?

He was named after the logo for the Socialist Labor Party. Whose logo is also the image in the center of Arm & Hammer's logo.

As UnAmerican in residence, if I know it, Jesus fuck, everyone should--I knew there were at least three of them and a fuck of a fortune--enough to not mouth off stupid shit in public anyway, and enough to check the precise extent of the naming scheme. I am disappointed that he doesn't have a daughter named Armandine (or Armand--I'm down with that too) to be honest.

THE INTERNET PUTS FACTS AT OUR FINGERTIPS, but so many availed opportunities to talk rubbish anyway.

Someone also asked me why see The Heat if Sandra Bullock's character loosen's up and Melissa's gains more respect for authority. Well, I wouldn't bet on the latter, but even so, since when is there being information in the trailer a reason not to see it? Technically there's some crime to be solved, and he has no idea what that is, but the idea of getting a general emotional arc has ruined the movie for him.

Life must be boring to the omniscient / narrow-minded.

I just watched Varsity Blues--I feel a season or two of FNL prepped me adequately--and at least one guy is in both of them. I think it's great that the movie's hobbit moment belongs to the hugest guy on the cast. Especially since I think he should have died, really.

I had to resort to reading that aloud to get it. Sigh. Braindead.

I did not get it at all either. I was like 'Why, is Armand a funny name??"

It is. It's the perfect light-denim-color light-weight-but-not-gauze cotton mid-calf full skirt. And it has pockets! And an elastic waist with a drawstring. One more broomstick skirt should set me for summer.

edit: And I got it in Petite, because it can be hard to find things for short *and* fat.
