  1. That price right there is why they're a moronic company. I suspect all the best logos in history were produced by throwing a week's pay at a couple of in-house graphic designers, and the CEO and a couple other guys looked at them, couldn't decide, and had the secretary pick one out. As for football, if you OD missing it, just go sit in a bar. They're paying for it whether you're there or not.
  2. Always been more of an Ionesco feller my own self.
  3. It's the kind of shit I used to hear from my grandparents' generation. And happily not from my actual grandparents, just random mean old fuckers.
  4. I'd say stamp collecting and pure coin collecting (focused more on the type and condition than the material) are similar head-spaces. When I was a kid I inherited a bag of British Empire stamps and perusing them gave me exposure to art, geography, and some grasp of world events post-WWII. Then there were countless almost-worthless world coins in base metal that I would buy out of gum ball machines. An aluminum coin with something like "1000 pesos" written on it is worth a Masters in Economics if you stare at it long enough. Back to stamps, an old coin dealer who'd confide the tricks of the trade mentioned that he was slightly annoyed at "Bullion Sharks" (like me) but the real PITA was mailing things to stamp collectors-- they considered themselves some sort of aristocracy, and would crawl all over a stamp with a magnifying glass searching for one fly speck to complain about.
  5. George Wallace absently waves a singed and faded Presidential campaign flag, wondering why he couldn't have been born 27 years later.
  6. That's what I'm saying-- Mexican gold was common, not much mark-up. Libertads weren't any more expensive than Maples or Eagles. Now they are, dunno why. /OldManStories
  7. Well, the Democrats currently compare poorly to French Generals in 1940, so you aren't really an outlier around here if you feel contempt for them.
  8. ^^^One of the side-effects of Inlyta.
  9. The writing would require him to lean out in some semi-physically-fit sort of way. He had an intern do it, one that he'd already caught doing something creepy so he knows the kid won't rat.
  10. Good spirit, high morale. Now if they'll just guard the Ardennes better this time.
  11. I have smashed up my right shoulder so many times (including, ironically, being on the "winning" side of a fight scene in a no-budget movie) that I must pass up all roles that involve: --sword fights [incl. spears, knives, and similar] --stick shifts --crucifixions I am open for harem scenes or anything else where I can lie on a bed, if he wants to branch out.
  12. Things you do when you are going crazy being a Theatre Professor in Arkansas but are too attached to steady paychecks to just quit. I totally get it, Darren. Start hitting the gym, and good luck at the Tec de Monterrey in Mexico.
  13. I think I may have some hidden Cheddar Man ancestry because my ruddy white self tans up from pink to brown in a few weeks. In Mexico my students thought I was the same color as them, until I took off my watch and the bright white skin underneath had them diving for cover like vampires from sunlight. Now the drugs have me kinda perma-wind-burned on the face. Sorta like drunk-face, with fewer DUIs.. One day, great x 100 grandfather, I shall be you:
