Which are always fun to watch, when they're well done.

We spoke about renting that the other day.  I've heard it's a hoot.  But
now they've made a TV series out of it.  Oh, well.

Heh!  It'll be here faster than Marti thinks.  She and Elizabeth will be
meeting this weekend to discuss the food.

the Queen Mum!
