But can they unbreak my heart?

John, I watched the entirety of this video out of respect for you and your wife’s contributions to this site.

This pompous ass does nothing but slather balm on the not-yet-festering mental repetitive-stress-wounds of those disgusted graduates. While I could dispute this address line for line, let me just say:

I have only stood in *that* line twice. I am 58. Every single day, cashiers and waitresses say how pleased they are to see me. The collective “you” should figure out how to obtain the same. The advice given in this video will not do it.

"I want you to remember that no bastard ever won a war by dying for his country. He won it by making the other poor, dumb bastard die for his country." Spoken by the title character in Patton, the movie.

Wow! These bring back memories. My ex was a big fan of scents. We would shop for them together so that ours would not clash. I think the last pair was Polo and Lauren about 1983.

As the owner of 20 years of corks, I am thankful for these suggestions. The fire starter will be tested this weekend.

Right now I start fires with the paper towels that wrap bacon in the microwave. Works very well, but not fun to handle.

When I was home sick during the Eighties, I saw a daytime talk show with guests that wrote a book on how to marry a millionaire. Their advice was practical and charming: either seduce someone that is already a millionaire or find someone who used to be a millionaire and support him/her to become one again.

They stressed the second method. Such wisdom.

Hmm. If the owner thinks you are hot, you get free stuff? Sounds normal to me.

I dare Hy Conrad to include a fried egg in his next Who Dunnit.

Lucas' genius really showed itself in two way. The first is not settling for a mere sequel, but building an entire forward and back story. The second is understanding the consumer demand for products associated with loved art and artists. Rumor has it that Paramount let him have all the marketing rights for free.

We should have asked how much it would have been for them to include Kamchatka.

How appropriate that Mexico has labels in English since everything here has labels with Spanish.

Pain is transitory and wounds heal, but chicks dig scars and glory lasts forever.

Thank-you, Alex. I hope the candles burned bright and long. Best wishes for you and yours in the coming year.
