  3. I love it in movies where people suck in breath then miraculously hold it for minutes. Total Hollywood fantasy bullshit.

  5. The "Empire-Out-of-Bus(cuit)iness" plate now says simply, "Peelin' Potatoes", and all references to seeing us in March have vanished. But the lights are still burning, still wasting electricity.

  6. The problem is, if you want a really good time, you can't exert any energy and sorta have to lie still. Which can look alarming.

    Tea party anyone?
