In regard to Burt Reynolds - does anyone else remember the TV show "Evening Shade" - I enjoyed it no end. It starred Reynolds as a small town football coach; his wife, played by Marilu Henner, was the town mayor; her father, played by Hal Holbrook, was the editor of the local paper; her aunt was played by ... Elizabeth Ashley, I think. A good supporting cast and some really nice shows.
Travers: Perhaps you'll favor us with a demonstration while we're here. Buffy: You mean, like, right now? 'Cause, already had my recommended daily dose of fights tonight.

What is even happening?
I loved Evening Shade, Toddson.
As long as it doesn't look like a tooth, right?
Beverly, was it white and square?

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
I didn't see! I was never there! ::looks shifty::
I'm still thinking about scraping the A and the S off an aspirin tablet.
Oh, Toddson, yes! And Ossie Davis! And Michael Jeter as the assistant coach, I think? Where I fell in love with Jeter, actually. I loved spotting him in things like The Fisher King and Sister Act II.
Anybody here old enough to remember Reynolds' blacksmith character on Gunsmoke? That man had a long and varied career. RIP.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
Burt's biggest failing was probably picking Jennifer Marlowe over Bailey Quarters.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I think of that so often! "It was white and square, and looked like a tooth, but it wasn't a tooth... so I ate it!"

Thrive to spite them
Today was kind of a WTF day at work starting with what I think is peak white lady privelage on display. Woman comes in and says she wants a refund. On slippers she has no receipt, no tag, no idea when she bought it or how much she paid for it. But she paid with her store card so we should be able to look it up right ? She asked. Overall she was ok with it but she said she takes the tags off things as soon as she gets home and throws away her receipts.

We moved him into college on Saturday. I don't know how we got from tooth eating to studying mechanical and aerospace engineering.

That's dual privilege at work -- white lady and dumbass. Who buys slippers or shoes without trying them on?

Because books.

That sentence was so worth reading.
The first thing that came to mind when I heard about Burt Reynolds was his black comedy, The End. And then Best Friends, with Goldie Hawn, which I loved beyond reason. And Evening Shade! I had forgotten all about that.
