Aug 30, 2005 · The song’s still as fresh and fizzy as it ever was, even if some of the references may not be instantly recognizable. We get the point of the song without having to identify every last line. Me, I love the fact that the pop culture of the 1930s is integral to the lyrics: it brings the era to life for me!
Forsythe's/The Jackal's Mercury Bullets: Feasible?
Feb 9, 2006 · In Frederick Forsythe’s ‘The Day of the Jackal’, there’s a scene where they describe the use of Mercury filled bullets.

Reusing, recycling ideas that work - In My Humble Opinion
Oct 7, 2024 · Except for toilet paper we barely use disposable paper products at all. My opinion is that, while recycling hacks are fun, they make little difference in the scheme of things.

Freddy_the_Pig November 28, 2006, 2:50pm 1. In The Devil Went Down to Georgia, the devil challenges Johnny to a fiddlin’ contest. The Devil plays first, and we hear him as an instrumental–technically very astute, but perhaps lacking a certain artistic elan. He’s the devil, after all.

Does it really matter if you vote if you know you are in the …
Sep 30, 2024 · The big city near me is solidly D, something like a 6:1 voter registration advantage. The last election the R candidate did well & got almost 25% of the vote. Think about that, he did well & still needed to more than double his vote count to win. Anyone who wants to run as an R has to know they’re a sacrificial lamb who’s going to lose.
A sci-fi movie from the early 50's--scared the crap out of me then.
Dec 12, 2005 · What was it? My girlfriend remembers the exact same movie and it scared the crap out of her too then. We are both now in our 60’s. Neither of us can remember the title of the movie.
