I ate two hamberger patties. I think I may explode.
While there, i found this SUGAR SUGAR YouTube. Does the lead guy look a lot like BK in his TV days?http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TSP0e5rXUl8&NR=1
We watched Double Indemnity tonight. Neither of us had ever seen it!
This morning there were no copies of The Cuckoo's Calling on the ABE. Now there are several of the US version (not the true first - the UK is) that are $100, even though you can probably still get a first new from amazon at regular price) and there is one copy of the UK first now at $2,500!!! Sickening these dealers. It will blow over very quickly, I think. This morning on eBay there was one copy of the UK with a bid of forty-three bucks - that has now shot up to five hundred with two days left in the bidding.

Whether either says "oot and aboot" (or some variation thereof) I cannot say. Mike and Jennifer, you are both Quebecois, non?I don't say oot and aboot or the one DR George said. I say out and about the regular way

Maybe what people need to understand is that a criminal trial is not a search for the truth. Not even close. It is not about the victim, even though victims have rights. It is to decide if the state or federal government can take a person's liberty or money, in terms of a fine. To do that they have to prove beyond a reasonable a criminal offense as defined by statute was committed and that the person accused didn't have a legal justification for committing the offense. That's it. It's not a way to exact moral justice or social justice.
Good afternoon. Wae-Ling was very happy to see that her photo was the bulletin cover for this week.
