  1. "And then they all drew snow dicks on the locomobile steam automobiles." You should think about doing a "Best One-Liners" collection at year's end. I'll chip in for the man-hours.

  5. I agree with the best one liners idea, both from the posts and from the comments. I'd like to see this as a monthly feature. And while thinking about snow and lines, I'm magically transformed back to the '80's!
