Most humbling moment: "Teaching disabled children swimming lessons."

And don't forget:

I used to have a nightmare of suddenly finding myself, at night, up to my neck in the middle of a really industrialized stretch of river. Maybe canal is more proper, because the edges of the river are completely squared off and made of rusted iron. I think this commercial either played on that phobia or caused it.

Or

The music is pretty - unsettling. And William Conrad booming "People start pollution. People can stop it." doesn't put one at ease either.

Sesame Street: I-Beam

I saw that film two years ago, at age FORTY-FIVE, and it was almost too heavy for me to take. Real life evil beats fictional evil, hands down.

Yes, that would have been hot. Last 5 minutes of show, just the sound of them rutting.

Not at all comparable. Gross does feed Simmons' fire by being such a student-body president prig.

Primadonna Douchebag
"Naw, we don't tote our drums around at 6 o'clock in the morning."

Just think…
This attractive, and with Quincy Jones for a dad? Just think what a looker she'd be if Peggy Lipton had mated with an attractive male!

Call Me Philistine
I've reached the age where I've tried enough foreign art films to feel sure I need never see one again. This one looks like a good place to catch up on my sleep.

I could put an old girlfriend of mine in stitches with my Cancer Boy impression, and very often did.
