I didn't like that one either.

One mans classics are another mans also ran...I consider anything John
Ford did as classic, as well as everything John Wayne starred in under
Ford's tutelege. The best ever was The Quiet Man. One of those B&W/Color
films I was telling Tom about yesterday.

I'm kinda like a horse trader, I look at the teeth first.

I hate doing the lawn, so I pay this guy named EZ to come by and do it
every 3 weeks, 2 if it needs it. He was doing the lawn this morning when I
returned from breakfast. I parked in front of my neighbor's driveway
since I just had the truck washed, just to run in and out again. By the
time I came back out, he was done and gone.

I see Polaroid every time I turn this one on.

Sorry I brought that error up...

Depends - If I worked as the manager of a g-entity that keeps track of
spending and what the spending was for, I'd definately ask...

That's possible.

Joy lives in the fight, in the attempt, in the suffering involved, not in
the victory itself.
