The video previews are ...OK, so apologies to Nick. <BR/>The video previews are good. <BR/>The props? Distracting.<BR/><BR/>Let's hope you have better luck at the movies than me. I spent part of my extra day off at "Drillbit Taylor." It was dental drilling awful. It's a long fall for Mr. Wilson from "Bottle Rocket" to this junk. This latest opus makes "You, Me and Dupree" seem like a Fellini film.<BR/><BR/>Anyway - one of my hipper religion professors at college told us that the Vatican's "no meat" Fridays stemmed from a ploy to help boost the floundering (no pun intended) fishing industry in Italy. Now, I don't know if that's true, but I DO know that as growing up (Catholic), Lenen Fridays did serve to remind me about how ingrained good old meat was in my day to day existence. Oh sure, it made it much easier to convince my parents to buy my brother and I pizza, but it made lunchtime a whole lot duller. I gotta hand it to vegetarians - the last time I tried ingesting one of those Boca burgers, I nearly tossed it - and I hadn't one a single adult beverage beforehand. Tasty, they ain't.<BR/><BR/>Anyway - hope that your cheeseburger's tasty, and that you digest many chocolate eggs before the weekend is over.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
