That movie, to me, was about as exciting as going to church and watching

I guess I wasn't alone.

I think they were both bad movies...better not stop talking to me though.

One of the TV stations in SD was showing some 3D movies and they gave

Probably one of those guys who runs electric lines while they're alive. I
used to do it that way until I started wiring live at 240v 3phase...that's
too hot to handle.

Nahhh. By the time the picture is viewable, I've gotten down to my shorts

Joy lives in the fight, in the attempt, in the suffering involved, not in
