I remember our school bully - he was an unusually large kid (6' 3" and about 250 lbs. in 9th grade) - by the time he was a junior he was even bigger - and he loved to pick on the smallest kids.
We had bench style lunch tables that butted together in the center. Kids would unconciously put...

I will have to check this book out.
For me, I enjoy dragonflies for reasons that Ted Andrews would probably understand.
I also have a special bond with dogs - I do not say that I am Cesar...
I try and live by the words - Time may change but standards must remain.
I do agree with you, Hargist. I do not think manners should be considered old fashioned. And I may be going off on a tangent here...but...
Go to the grocery store or department store and watch the checkout kids -...
I embrace being an old fashioned chap. I was raised in house with all women and no father figure. My mom is an antiques dealer and I grew up in an old farmhouse (built in the 1800's) in rural Pennsylvania. I am not sure if it came from that environment...but I always have treated everyone...
Some people call me the Space Cowboy - some call me the Gangster of Love...
But seriously...
My nickname for so many years now has been, "Moon". As a matter of fact, I have a whole handful of people that call me Moon and don't even know my given name.
My given name is Matthew - I...
I listen to Sirius Satellite Radio all of the time - I have a unit in the car and at the office. At the office I use the FM modulator to transmit the signal to the Crosley replica at my office desk (since the FM they used back in the good ol' days is now obsolete).
At home I can stream...
Me and both of my left feet love to dance!
Music is such a big part of my life - I cannot help but move when the music begins. Unfortunately I spend many of my younger years in the mosh pit and never had the opportunity to learn how to dance properly.
I can fake it - it looks...
I've been everywhere, man
I've been everywhere, man
Crossed the deserts bare, man
I've breathed the mountain air, man
Of travel I've had my share, man
I've been everywhere
I've been everywhere
I've actually been to

I worked 14 hours today - came home - checked for messages from a friend :) Went to the Lounge - showered - went to bed - just got up a few minutes ago after being what I thought was sound asleep - and now I am checking the Lounge again before retiring for the evening.
I too keep the Lounge...
I went to see The Bourne Ultimatum today - good action flick.
As for TV - Thank heavens for TiVO/DVR and for letting me watch what I want when I want to watch it!
Here are my favorite current shows:
Battlestar Galactica (the new series)\
Nip/Tuck
Damages
The Shield

This thread really has me thinking - It has caused much introspection.
I think I am an old fashioned fellow...and a hopeless romantic. I manage to have a very good career while still enjoying life (work is not my life - no one lying on their death bed ever uttered the words, "I wish I spent...
It is not Kimbo's fighting style that bothers me. He can spend all the time he wants with a trainer and become the greatest fighter the UFC has ever known - he will still be a thug. If it looks like a thug, walks like a thug, talks like a thug, acts like a thug and lives like a thug....
Kimbo is a hack and a thug. He is tough for sure - but I would bet dollars to donuts that he gets his proverbial arse kicked in the UFC.
Watch is videos - nothing but a thug and a punk.
