Hey now, that’s unfair to jug-blowers.

No. She lacks the depth, the charm, and the warmth.

Well, an actual obit would be even more welcome. For now, though, I’ll probably have this stuck in my head for the next couple of days:

And that’s a legit market! It’s the attempts to sell outside that market that are eminently laughable.

I suppose this is a bit unkind, but now whenever I hear the name “Silverlake” I think of this:

Yeah it was. I can repost the picture:

Huh, so you can’t edit a post after it’s submitted. Anyway, I went ahead and put up some box photos here.

Did some modifying to a box I got for free at a bookstore (it held postcards which they opted to sell individually) so that small magnets would hold the lid closed. I’ll get pictures for that up later, maybe after dinner.

There are Asian stereotypes about cheapness? (I always heard ones about Jews and Scots.)

Christopher Lee was actually trained in fencing, which I don’t think can be said for many of the other actors who wielded lightsabers. The Three Musketeers and The Four Musketeers (1973, 1974) let him really show off his moves.

I’m a little bothered about how often I break this out as a response, but...

I’d prefer a Mussolini treatment myself. Maybe with a soupçon of being dragged behind a car.

I bet it was as simple as “We should redo the ‘Pepsi Generation’ campaign for Millennials.”
