Even if you've seen them before: Casino The Thin Red Line Rusty James (Rumblefish) And one you've probably never seen: The Red House (an old Edward G. Robinson thriller and a bit of a cinematic oddity from the late 40s, available for absolutely free on GoogleVideo @ http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-8...h&plindex=0 I love the film's atmosphere of a more innocent and naive rural America... No crack and speed problems yet, and still light-years away from 'Blue Velvet' and 'Twin Peaks'. Also, look over to the right of the page: the same poster has tons of old 30s and 40s films and series there, with some interesting choices.

I echo and second all the above, Ken!

Since you're in the neighborhood, why not just go to Cuba: better rum, better cigars, better atmosphere. Plus, and if you stay away from the tourist stuff, you'll be helping out those poor bastards (the people, not the government) with your Euros...

It's all downhill from here now. Sigh. Genuine Canadian maple syrup? Try to keep it clean you monkeys.

If I understand your last post, some of the Bush family are involved in this. I think both Homeland Security and the RWG administration need to be informed. Firm and vigorous action must be undertaken to prevent things from getting even stickier. Does anyone know how to contact Condi Rice?

If I ever caught my monkey masturbating with Sticks, I'd give him a spanking he'd not soon forget! And yes, I think the Administration should be informed about this: Sticks should be given a strong warning about fooling around with other member's monkeys - and then banned if he keeps it up. Otherwise, God only knows what this forum is going to turn into...

I mean it!

Not me. Not anymore.

That's certainly a million-dollar presentation by Christies....quite interesting, in fact.

"So I says to him, 'Dude, ain't no way you be adding me to that sorry-assed watch!'..."

My right hand.

AKA Miss Givings...?

That's precisely the question that some people should be asking concerning their wife and Miss Understood....

Beautiful tribute, eddhead!

It's heartening to see that potentially ugly situations can rapidly be de-fused with a little communication and good will on both sides - I'm happy to see what looks like a happy ending here. Life is too short to waste in fighting and bitterness. Sermon mode/off

Interesting avatar change: he seems very pleased to be yours: 'I REALLY like it here!' That's right, Sparky, but remember that there are lots more where you came from. Think South Beach. For the moment, though, you two do make a nice couple: Grin and Barrett, as it were...

Ms. Barrett, While we're on the subject of avatars, I've been meaning to talk to you about yours: I don't know how or where you obtained it, but I'm not at all happy with you using that picture of my mother. It's embarrassing enough that she imagines that she's the reincarnation of Yassir Arafat, but to be constantly reminded of the fact while I'm here trying to escape her delirium (not to mention the stray rounds from her Kalashnikov) is slightly more than I can take. What happened to the babe in the bra? It was so much more soothing. By the way, don't you ever sleep?

Jawo, The pretty blond in your avatar keeps saying "Do you want to fight me?" What exactly is her problem?

Probably is boring: Lecce is not Rome... On the other hand, you'll have the time to do a little tanning on the beach, savor an espresso and some grappa! with delicious little sandwiches and/or sweets while watching the world go by on the terrace of a neighborhood caf

I can't tell you anything specific about Lecce, but I certainly wouldn't sweat the language problem unless you're planning on giving long speeches on arcane subjects - like replica watches, for instance! Everybody more or less has a few words of English these days, and life is not complicated to the point that you won't be able to make your needs, ideas, etc., known. In the meantime, why not read up a bit on where you're going via Frommer's, TripAdvisor, Lonely Planet and the tons of other stuff on the Net?

I can think of one who's probably the future of the strap industry....

And with that, he thought of Gunnar Gran's last words: "I will fear no George!" (He shuddered uncontrollably, seized by a horrible premonition... perhaps putting another tree on the fire would help....)

NO! The other, earlier George? (Steps back from computer, trembling. In the pitch black of the artic darkness, the sound of a single twig snapping on the icy permafrost of the Tundra...)

Ok. We were waiting until someone said 'please'!
