I ordered The Little Rascals Complete Collection....and Iron Man.....of course The Little Rascals is out of stock....but the discount worked, so I saved some money....

I used Deep Discount.Com, not DVD Planet.....the code didn't work there.

I remember when I used to get $2 worth of regular for the WHOLE week, in my 1968 Rambler American.

I want to see a picture of that car and you!

Good Evening!

Greetings from The Met!

*And, yes, I am VERY excited about and for tonight's presentation of Berlioz's "Le Damnation de Faust".

**Although, if I get cruised one more time by a gentleman of indeterminate age... Too bad you're not here tonight, DR MBarnum.

JoseSPiano · « **Reply #308 on:** November 07, 2008, 05:04:43 PM »

And here we go!

Laters...

td · « **Reply #309 on:** November 07, 2008, 05:05:24 PM »

I only get my gas pumped for me if I need a small amount in a big hurry - and there are only two service stations around here with actual people manning the pumps!

I hope DR MBarnum remembers to tip the person who fills his tanks, it's a service and should receive a gratuity.

It's a very rare occasion that I pull into a full-service service station, here they're relics of a bygone age.

I saw a reading of a version by Larry Maslon around 10 years ago with Faith Prince as the movie star and former swimmer. It was very good and Faith was very funny.

Funny; I don't remember that color from the Crayola box of my childhood.

You must've had Crayola for Children.

Normally I would skeedaddle on the second, but I know I'll be tired and it will be nice to have a full day and night to myself to visit and stuff.

Having to pump my own gas is the ONLY thing I dislike about visiting Los Angeles. Everything smells all gassy afterwards.

I don't know how you all can stand doing it all the time.

Well, if instead of standing we knelt while pumping, we'd smell even worse!

der Brucer

* sidenote: The Pennsylvania argument against requiring gas station attendents do the pumping is that it would raise the price to the consumer, Jersey requires it, PA does not. Gas is cheaper in Jersey than in PA.

BK - We've got nine people coming so far for dinner plus two more joining us for dessert. Will you be OK with such a crowd? If so, we'd love for you to join us, but hate to put it this bluntly, we'd literally have no room for you to bring another person.

If you have the room I'll come - alone. If not, don't worry about it.
