From that hat, you could probably catch a heapin' spoonful of the crawlin' love critters.

Not to mention the scurvy and head lice.

ok, a few years ago, I was flying back from Italy, and it was either watch the little movie screen on the back of the seat in front of me, or nothing. I caught probably the last half of a movie, which turned out to be very interesting, but I never saw the beginning, so I don't know the title. It as in Italian, with subtitles, and the only actor I recognized was Don Ameche. The setting was a floor in a hospital/home of some sort. There we maybe 5 main characters who had barricaded themselves in one of the wards. They were demanding good food and music. Just thing normal everyday people have access to, but for whatever reason, they didn't. I am assuming they were all terminally ill, or at the very least, very sick. It turned out to have very rich, thought provoking dialogue, and what I did see of it, I enjoyed. A great portion of what I saw were just these 5 or 6 men, sitting around, enjoying a good meal, and reminiscing about their lives. Anyway, if anyone has any clues, I'd appreciate them. Thanks a bunch, everyone. jr.

Talladega Superspeedway. Every year. The mental floss weekend. Smoke cigars. Scratch. Cuss. Play poker. Practical jokes. Watch car racing. Full blown testoserone for 4 days. I will make this trip every year until I die. After that, somebody is carrying my ashes (in an approved container) to my seat.

Newark, Delaware? How did I miss this?

It amazes me how Clapton continues to rub elbows with the greats. He's easily the most ordinary 'guitar god' ever.

I got a 46. Pegged me pretty good.

I can see swearing as a sort of an exclamation point in a song, I suppose. But gratuitous swearing just for the sake of , ahem, "expression", well, the only thing you're expressing is that you've a severely limited vocabulary.

I wouldn't touch the thing. You don't know where it's been.

Kind of hard to believe you can get all this for free, isn't it?

No, but if you hum a few bars, maybe I could join in.

Hey Mat, do you know these dinosaurs? My kids liked them alot when they were 6. My favorite was the one who can't talk. I forget his name now.

Why is it the ones with the true drummer mentality always die?

Interesting

Mat, I just got done shovelling the snow from my driveway. It snowed here in Delaware yesterday. And where's that five dollars you owe me?

Hate is a valid emotion, same as love, envy, lust, etc.

So does this mean you're baling on the SFI band? I too, played the house parties when I was in school. It's a good time, sure enough.

The same thing can be said of Julia Roberts.

Hi BV. We've missed you.
