So what that, 11 or 12 in about 7 years that are good-great. Not very good odds.

Pirates was a great movie Shreak was good (no acting involved however) LOTR were for the most part good Spider man was watchable Private Ryan was watchable, but too be honest really not that good of a movie Fight Club, sucked and was a horrible movie Never even heard of the other one. Think about it there really has only been one great movie probably in 10 years.

So in 10 years you came up with a list of about 8 movies. Of which only about 4 were good movies. A couple sucked IMHO and a few were barely watchable. Like I said, very little ability seem to be coming to the theatre any more.

I saw Bewitched. Wow, talking about bad acting, bad screne play, bad everything. Holy crap 3 movies this summer SW, MR and MRs Smith and Bewitched. All terrible. How can they put this crap out?

But... drugs should be legalized.

Beethoven, and yes I am being serious

Yes, the equiv. Some farm in Virginia makes it, and then they pack it in seal packs that last two weeks, A friend of mine, great cook, sent himself through some chef schools for fun, swears by it.

I agree. Salad dressing is nasty. The whole potato, macarroni, egg salad thing needs to go.

Or Commercial foods have also been involved in botulism outbreaks. Some outbreaks have been attributed to improperly handled food, such as potato salad, served in restaurants http://www.canningpantry.com/botulism.html

Wrong. http://ohioline.osu.edu/hyg-fact/5000/5567.html

Yeah well there is that. Of course his 3 votes for President went a long way in making the country better also.

Only of Sue, may get bothulism from the warm potato salad.

What point was that?

If you're in Virginia go to Wegman's in Fairfax.

Dave, Daves not here. No man, it's Dave open up.

That's not very nice. I thought we were supposed to be kinder and gentler? BTW that reminded me of the old Greaseman. "Tuna Tuna Tuna fish"

Bingo, me too.

It's a movie. http://www.geocities.com/Hollywood/Hills/1869/bachelor.html Tom Hanks, etc... Gary: "Oh no! Not her! Not her! She pees standing up!"

You didn't pull a "Bachelor Party" move with him/her did you?

Then why bother?

But it's okay to be a poor political party.

Do you wear your tinfoil hat when you're doing that?

Do you have to deal with Budgets, contracts, program funding levels, and making sure they all match? If not I understand why it took so long. It's nice watching a congressional hearing about stuff your working on get slammed, or even praised. Because you know damn well you lose or gain millions in a task order within 30 days.

You just figured this out. Here I thought you were a smart guy. Not on the same IQ level as BF mind you, but still above average for poster here.

Who won, I missed it. GO BRAVES. Get 'er done Ernie D.
