I gave the ex my credit card and set him to Kim's. He bought a laser disc player and a couple disks, including Auntie Mame. Took him four hours to hook them up - I was done painting the bathroom by then. We cranked up the LD player and watched Auntie Mame on LD. It was amazing. I still have the LD player and the Auntie Mame LD, but he is long gone.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5694390946037511355.post-2181047290287134432022-03-23T10:19:28.117-04:002022-03-23T10:19:28.117-04:00Curiouser and curiouser.

I was looking for a particular film many years ago, but couldn't remember the title...or the director. I could name all the actors and describe the plot, but the clerk refused to help without the director's name. This was before cell phones when you couldn't easily look something up. After several minutes of frustration, a customer on the other end of the room shouted "Hey! I have that movie right here!" I thanked him and the clerk just glared at me. I'm sure he knew exactly what film I was talking about the whole time.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
