Rules for submitting comments:
1. No profanity. I maintain the pretense that this is a family-friendly site.
2. Stay on topic. A bit of straying and off-hand commenting is okay, but hijacking the discussion is right out.
3. No ad hominem attacks. Attack the subject, not the other person on the thread and keep the discussion civil.
4. No spamming or commercial endorsements. These get deleted immediately.
Tip: Beware of putting hyperlinks in your comments–especially at the end. For some reason, Blogger interprets these as spam.
Note: Due to the recent spate of anonymous spamming, registration for comments is now required.

ReplyDeleteMy favorite scene? When the antique-store lady tries to blackmail him, while he's standing there with a very large, sharp pair of ice tongs.
You just knew how that was going to end- with the antique lady earning a Darwin Award. "Congratulations, Ma'am, you have just proven yourself Too Stupid To Live."
Requiscat im pace, sir.
