One thing that is not entirely clear is your stats. You said teen smoking was up 21% but you didn't say up from what. That could mean pretty much anything.

Or did you mean that teen smoking is up to 21%.

Muddy, I didn't write the report I just heard it. They said smoking was up 21% in teenagers That's all I remember hearing. Had I known there would be a quiz I wouldn't have posted.
 
I have a Dairy Queen Blizzard in my freezer. I will pull it out later and let it warm up for a few minutes - because it will be too hard right away - and eat it.

Too bad Mad Men is over. It would be the perfect thing to have while watching a new episode of Mad Men. Anyway I have stuff to watch. I have a season of Burn Notice on DVD and a bunch of movies. I will find something suitable to watch while eating a Dairy Queen Blizzard.

The flavor is French Silk Pie. That is going to be some good.

Now you have me wondering where that phrase came from?

Did someone throw shit into a fan?
Did someone simply take a shit on a fan?
What if it was diarrhea, wouldn't it simply short the fan out?
 
useless as tits on a bore hog? ( makes sense)
deader then a door nail? WTF is a door nail?
I didnt just fall off the turnip truck?
crazy as a shit house rat?
going round your ass to get to your elbow?

just a few expressions I've heard that make me wonder who and why they invented them:bugs:

any input on those Mcballs

I think we can thank our kinfolk( rednecks like us) for those descriptive sayings. Our people had a way with words.
 
As I sit here at the car dealership waiting for my car to be serviced, I am thinking about Martin Scorcese.

Is it possible that the Aviator is his best film? I have re-viewed a number of his films lately and I consider The Aviator to be the best of them. Well, it's basically neck-and-neck with Goodfellas.

Only thing is I haven't seen Taxi Driver for a long time and I also haven't seen The Departed since it first came out so, although I don't remember them as being as good as The Aviator or Goodfellas, they are not fresh in my mind.

I haven't seen Hugo at all. Hopefully soon.



One thing that stands out for me is that I don't find Scorses to be good at showing human relationships. He has a tendency to just throw his characters together without any attempt to demonstrate why they might like each other. It's like, they meet - BOOM - they are in a relationship. He just throws them in a bag because that's what he needs to get where he's going. In particular, I found that in Casino, Raging Bull, Bringing Out The Dead.
