Movie Lines: Dreadful to Sublime

My friend Rob and I agree that Prince’s line to Apollonia in Purple Rain — “That’s not Lake Minnetonka.” — is a classic, under-rated line.

I think one of the worst-written and delivered lines came from Daryl Hannah in Wall Street, as she told Charlie Sheen’s character Bud Fox: “Don’t cross Gordon, Bud. He’ll crush you.”

Awful.

Hotter!
Hotter!
Hot!
Hot!

New Math?

Not long ago, the saying was that 50 is the new 30. Well, given the death of Michael Jackson and, today, Billy Mays at the mid-century mark, is 50 the new 80?

Sizzle

Walked out of the house this morning and felt that summer sizzle. Not complaining that it took until June 26 to feel it.
Pack Rat Snacks: I had a pack rat in my garage recently. Among other proof, here’s a rubber mallet that the critter snacked on at least once.

Why All the Twitter Angst?

I don’t get all this talk about Twitter being ruined by Oprah and the rest. If I don’t follow them, why do I care?
