  2. Karma's a b**ch, isn't it?

    What's that old '60's song, with the refrain, "Sha-na-na-na-sha-na-na-na-sha-na-na-na-goodbye..." Don't let the door hit you on the busboy on your way out the door. Discriminatory, unpatriotic,...

    How many stars?

    I should know this but I just want to double-check:

    I have a second SMCR (first one in 2004, second award in 2007.) Star for each subsequent award.

  9. Astrology and Astronomy

    No offense taken.

  10. This Is Why Astrology Isn't Taken Seriously

    I loved "Full Metal Jacket", but, Kubrick, the director, meant to make the film as an anti-war (if not anti-Marine) movie. Same with "Platoon".

    I appreciate your motivation and your passion there, poolee.

    Caveat Emptor...

    I didn't know if I rated a hard-on or a big cry - a picture of patriotism understated but cock-hard proud.

    Looking for just the title or the responsibility that goes with it?
