Unfortunately, it would be lower than the percentage of Americans who know who won the last round of American idol or Dancing with the Stars. Remember, the tea was tossed overboard by fiesty British subjects. We Americans are a passive lot content to work longer and longer hours for less and...
RedPop:
I tried to join quite some time ago (at lease a year back?) I never could get past that thing where you had to decipher the squiggly letters and re-enter them. Either I just can't read the darn things right or the function didn't work or whatever. I emailed the contact person, but...
Short answer, no! However, the creation of smoking and nonsmoking sections handled this quite nicely - with the added benefit that I could sit in the smoking section and generally be pretty much free of people you let their ill mannered little urchins play "tag" betwixt the patron's tables...
I think Blackjack's onto something. Ever notice how those who want to control every aspect of others' lives always start with highly polarized issues - smoking, guns, etc. These tend to be, for the most part, "either/or" issues. Either you approve of others' right to smoke in public, own a...
I had to laugh about "crank" the car. A young man I know who lives in west GA, right next to the Alabama line, was working on an old car one day when i paid his family a visit. What's wrong?" I asked.
"Won't crank," was his terse answer. I whent inside. A while later, I heard the engine...
My grandmother, born in the 1890s, told me once how her father used to say that when she grew up, people would be flying from place to place. Most prople thought he was nuts, but she thought this sounded exciting and couldn't wait for it to come true. Of course, his prediction did come true...
Not bad advice at all...but hey, it's an excuse for a new hat! Seriously, I was thinking about it as trying out a "new" look, but you may just be on to something.
I'll be getting, or at least seeking out, some advice on this in the next couple of weeks. A few scenes will be shot in a studio, but most of it will be in the field. I (and the rest of the cast) will be followed around by a cameraman and sound tech - I believe it's referred to as "run and...
Well, originally I was going for the cheesy Indiana Jones look! Ok, actually the cheesy Josh Bernstein look, but my wife tells me I'm no Josh Bernstein.... Got to admit I'm now leaning towards the crusher or the US Wings cap, although the idea of a series of hats has a certain appeal. One...
Much to my suprise, I've landed a recurring part in a local reality-type TV show. Being reality, and low budget, I can wear pretty much what I want. My wife, refering to my somewhat prominant bald spot, made a quip about the camera shooting me from behind, which got me to thinking - I need a...
Growing up, I remember the beautiful glass ashtrays my parents had around the house. They were truely works of art in their own right. They also kept a wooden cigarette box on the coffee table and a large silver table lighter next to it. I'd love to have any of these now, but although my...
I've so far only met one single malt I don't like and this is it. Kinda tastes like the runoff that's left after a house fire is extinguished (don't ask how I know).
I started flying in 1974, and received no training in celestial navigation, although I always thought it would be cool to learn. That said, did you here about the fellow who, wanting to learn to "shoot the stars" went to REI. He asked the sales clerk if they sold sextants. She replied...
