Hunting as a sport
A big "no thanks" for me. I thought it was ok for people who needed it to survive. It has now become a sport. I couldn't imagine felling a large animal...though if a moose was headed my way, I wouldn't think twice about pulling the trigger in self defense (I got real close to one on a Canadian Highway near Banff in 2003). There are some people I work with who do it. They don't seem to do it in the Sierra Nevada or in California. They tend to go to Montana or other more remote states. Not for me. Falling asleep on a warm beach on the Mediterranean: now you're talking.

Marilyn Monroe
She tanked, didn't she? As did Kathleen Turner. Kathleen Turner is nowhere to be seen. But you can look at her and see that she was headed down that road. Towards the end, she sported some slack in the chin....like they say "you've got more chins than a Chinese phone book." It is impossible to look at someone like Anna Nicole Smith and even see sexiness. Given what she stands for (the epitome of avarice and deception), she is nothing more than a (now) washed up c*n*. I ask what is wrong with the old man's kids that they didn't punch him out and set him straight.

Marilyn Monroe
Jennifer O'Neill is DEFINITELY NOT Tatum O'Neals mom. Different spelling and different gene pool. Good God! Yes, she has had a TON of problems...between 6 and 8 marriages, substance issues and even a suicide attempt. Why? Why? Why? Can't you just effin' try to be happy - I guess being exceptionally beautiful or handsome isn't a guarantee of happiness. At any rate, if you look at her website, she has found the Lord. Where was he/she/it in the interim? Whatever.

Marilyn Monroe
I think it was around 1972 but it had subsequent surges in popularity in the 80s and 90s when it dropped from R to PG (without edits, just that things got more relaxed) and was re-released. And, then, the looks are different because it takes place in 1942 on Martha's Vineyard or the Cape during WWII. It is one of my favorite movies of all time.

PB, I actually think the scrotal sac sports no "k" at the end, but I could be wrong.

Another bummer
I will post my potential pair of labs found during a South American vacation at another time. I take it a Malamute is similar to a husky or sled dog, right? I would have expected this from a pair of pit bulls or Presa Canarios, but not this kind of dog. You have to do what's right for the dogs...and for you. Making the choice will be hard. How about parting with both of them and starting over so you won't encounter cognitive dissonance? I know - easier said than done.

Do you tell a guy if his fly is down?
If someone is a business person in a suit during the work day and they have their fly down, I think they would really appreciate being told. I know I would.

Oh, no, Satmeister, you are importing this from the pre-crash website to the post-crash website. Let's let sleeping dogs lie.

Marilyn Monroe
Try this link - if someone finds this lady attractive, I doubt they would find Jen, Jessica and Britney attractive - a whole different look. Jennifer O'Neill Summer of 42 stills What an awesome flick. A real classic.

To (blank) with love...
Turbo, I couldn't have said it better myself. You start a: To (fill in the blank) Valentine's Day greeting thread on THIS site and...look out....

Happy Hallmark Day!
I agree. But on the flip side: no bills leave my wallet.

Marilyn Monroe
Yeah, I must be one of the few dark haired guys who categorically doesn't look at blondes. Every one has a different standard of beauty. The most beautiful woman on film, in my mind, is Jennifer O'Neill...the object of desire in the classic film "Summer of '42." That is an incredibly beautiful film...in its story about innocence lost, in its cinematography and in its musical score (leave it to Michel Legrand). Behind her would probably be Jacqueline Bisset.. same kind of look. I do not find media-hyped blonde bombshells such as Marilyn and Jayne Mansfield, and more recently Britney and Jessica, attractive....cheap yes, attractive no. That's my opinion and I have LOTS of opinions.

Marilyn Monroe
I never saw what the big deal was with her. She wasn't sophisticated...just kind of a voluptuous tart. I wonder what did her in. I don't think that being 36 and starting to pack a few pounds was the basis for it. The whole thing is odd and I guess we will never know.

Stupid Poll, but a Small bit Interesting
Isn't this flattering, PB? I, too, managed to stay one notch under 30.

Disco/dance music
I don't know if this was disco, but I suppose it was danceable. I loved this song because of its raunchiness and the interspersed French: He met Marmalade down in old New Orleans struttin' her stuff on the street She said "Hey, Joe, you wanna give it a go?" Keechee keechee ya ya ya ya Keechee keechee ya ya yee (something garbled) be yo' Lady Marmalade. Voulez-vous coucher avec moi, ce soir? Voulez-vous coucher avec moi? --------------- To a lot of you who DON'T like it, the instrumental parts are awesome. If you like jazz, it would almost make sense you that you should like disco.

Disco/dance music
It will going without saying that Josh and a few others will predictably HATE this stuff. This era reminds me of everybody having a Cutlass Supreme coupe, bad clothes, Greg Brady hair and a much easier-going and more affordable LA. At work, I will put on the headphones and draft away to Donna Summer's greatest hits and similar stuff - MacArthur Park is her far and away her finest work, IMO. It's great to drive to as well and...no...I've NEVER set foot on a dance floor to this stuff. I know there's a lot of people who hate it. So be it.

LOL! Cheney shot his friend!!
Vapid. I learned that word via reading the news. One of Dan Quayle's college teachers described him as "vapid." I guess he relied on his Mary Tyler Moore-cum-lawyer wife to pull him through law school. Cheney has had his share of problems, hasn't he?

Ignition key
We all got conditioned to having it in the steering column. Then, after renting Intrigues, GPs and Malibus, I found that having it in the dash is kind of cool. Slap on the wrist to LaCrosse and Lucerne for having it on the column.
