What I want to know is, why are there so many white cars? It seems as though every time I’ve seen a brand-new car in the last five years, it’s white. Is it cheaper than color?

Last year my neighbor called me to say that the sheriff’s deputy was there to answer a 911 call that came from my phone (911 couldn’t get an answer on my phone, called back and the line was busy, so as far as they knew I could be bleeding on the floor). Trouble was, I was on the other side of the country at the time…

Even commercials that portray Barbie flying or dancing or the like have a disclaimer advising, “Doll does not move on her own.”

Do like I do and just change the channel/move the cursor along during the rough parts.

It introduced America to “Konichiwa”. I was also amused by Richard Chamberlain’s character getting outraged at being offered a girl for the evening “or a boy if you prefer.”

I really dislike the decision that has apparently been made in the industry to banish the term “actress” in favor of “female actor”. Yes, we no longer say “authoress” or “poetess” or “woman doctor”, and we’re getting away from “male nurse”, but “female actor” just plays into the antediluvian assumption that everything…

I’m so old that my Barbie was the original, striped swimsuit Barbie (now alas, gone with the wind). High fashion, no smile, not smothered in pink. So the Barbieland of the movie was alien to me, too.

Okay, wait — he’s a professor of animal husbandry, right?

“Well, I guess I lost my temper...”

We’re a lonely bunch. Still, the Academy Awards are able to maintain a sense of film history.

I realized not long ago that there is always conflict in a story; without conflict there’s no drama. And no matter how hilarious we the viewers may find the situation, it’s never funny to the characters, even if it’s just trying to find where you parked your car, or keeping the surprise party a secret.

Considering that they made much of it being 75 years of the Emmy awards, you would think they could have done a chronological montage, starting with something goofy in 1948. Uncle Milty? Westerns? The Beatles on Ed Sullivan? 

As an oldster, I was let down that except for I Love Lucy, “television history” began with the Seventies.

If for some reason you don’t want to risk getting snow inside the car when you open the door, a regular old kitchen broom will get most of the snow off.

Wait — “Former Colleton Co. teacher’s license revoked after murder conviction”? Do tell!

Okay, I’ve led a sheltered life. Just when I’ve figured out what PIV means, now I have to decipher PIT.

Since it’s set in 1964, I hope they mean Radcliffe College, not Harvard.

Yes!! Thanks for reminding me!

They do it the old fashioned way where I live. They must either be really fit or get repetitive stress injuries. Either way I wouldn’t try to arm wrestle one of them.

Don, no artist has that much talent.
