“I go every year; it’s hard to remember all the best finds. But I know I usually make out like a bandit at the Gap sale.”

Holy cliffhanger Batman... I am not sure I can handle waiting two more years for the Metalocalypse cliffhanger to be resolved.

A phone number written on a sidewalk. It said if you wanted to have a good time, to call the number. I did. And I did.

spent fifty cents on some lip balm at Round Corner. Big tube with the good stuff in it, not that knockoff balm. Went to pay for some fancy mustard but I'd lost the two twenties I'd wrapped together. Anybody seen 'em? They had Jackson's mug on the one side, buncha printing on the other...

I found some lip balm that someone lost and it was 3/4 full. I was pretty lucky THAT day!

I will tell you what it wasn't.

It sure as hell wasn't spoilers to the new season of the only show that very well may not fall apart during during it's final season or just become irksome or tiresome.

Why? because I hate having to talk like a pirate saying things like "ARGHHH", "Avast, ya scurvy varmints", "Shiver me BitTorrents" and of course the basic fact and common knowlege that Coke® ruins rum.

Rum that should only contact (and in this order): mint leaves, sugar and lime juice (after they are muddled together), then the addition of ice and soda water.

(Btw, crushed ice is the bomb)

You are wrong my friend. Sailor Jerry carries its own, no matter what it is mixed with.

I quit going to the sidewalk sale long ago when it finally dawned on me that no one on Mass. St. was ever going to have a sale on Browning over/under shotguns. Ever.

Even if you got a great deal on a sidewalk, I would think they would be too hot to pick up this Summer. Why don't they move the sale to a cooler time of year.

Yeah . . . and when you get it home you still have it to maintain and keep the snow shoveled off.

"I need to get me a big magnet" - T_O_B

You gotta be freaking kidding.

Every plot in TV and film is just reused, recycled and remade.

In "The Big Easy" Dennis Quaid's character throws a big magnet through a store window where in is put in to the evidence room next to the video tape evidence of him getting kickbacks. The tape is erased and there is no evidence of him being corrupt.

You probably never saw that because that was in the day in America when they did not let 8 year old kids into R rated movies.
Ellen Barkin had this raw sexuality going for her in that movie.

Now once again a spoiler has ruined my enjoyment of a TV series and the plot has failed and gone south.

"whispers "I forgive you"'

Actually the voice I heard said "Yo te perdono", but same difference.

Final season curse?
