Fond memories of sitting in the front seat of my grandparents' Buick, on that armrest thing that doubled as a kid's seat right in the middle of the bench... no seatbelt, no carseat... now of course I'm scared to get into a frickin cab without fastening the seatbelt and hanging onto the Jesus bar in the back seat.

hey Chili's: Give us our baby vax baby vax baby vax baby vax baby vax baby vax baby vax baby vax

Know what else doesn't exist? The Smithsonian Institute.

Jemnado and the Sharkograms

yep, me too

I saw this awhile ago, but any excuse to see it again is a good one :-)

my favorite one from my information desk days: two older but not old ladies in the middle of this big casino; they reach my desk and ask where the restrooms are. I point out the direction to them and tell them which slot machines are between us and it for landmarks and the fact that you can just barely see the sign…

embarrassed to say, I learned about Hatshepsut because of the TV show "Mighty Isis" :-D

or better yet, steals the idea entirely for a "ripped from the headlines" episode of Law & Order?
